Abstract
The disclosure relates to a zipper for a reclosable package (100) wherein the zipper (10) includes fragrance—carrying oil (40) within an internal zipper volume thereby confining the scent while the zipper and the package are closed. When the zipper is opened, the scent is allowed to escape to the consumer and to the storage area of the package.
Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 61/472,437 filed on Apr. 6, 2011 and U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 61/476,390 filed on Apr. 18, 2011, the disclosure of both of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present disclosure pertains to a reclosable package or bag with a scented or fragrant component, such as, but not limited to, a reclosable zipper, in order to provide an olfactory feedback mechanism that enhances the contents of the package for the user.
- It is well known in the prior art to package scented products in reclosable packages. However, this typically requires a relatively large amount of fragrance-carrying material and further requires the release of the fragrance within the storage volume of the package at the time of initial packaging, which is typically well before the package is opened by the consumer. The prior art further includes U.S. Pat. No. 7,497,623 entitled “Packages with Active Agents”, issued on Mar. 3, 2009 to Thomas.
- It is therefore an object of the present disclosure to provide a reclosable package or bag wherein fragrance can be provided with a reduced amount of fragrance-carrying material.
- It is therefore a further object of the present disclosure to provide a reclosable package or bag wherein the fragrance is not released until the package is opened by the consumer.
- This and other objects are obtained by providing a reclosable package or bag wherein the fragrance-carrying material, such as scent oil, is contained in a male profile of the zipper or reclosure of the reclosable package or bag and it covered by the non-scented female profile. The scent remains covered until the zipper is opened, and typically activated when pressed to close. In the way, the scent is used more economically in that the zipper rather than the entire bag is scented. Additionally, the shelf life of the scent is preserved due to being closed or locked within the zipper. The consumer is exposed to the scent only when the package or bag is opened. The consumer is likewise isolated from the scent when the package is closed.
- Further objects and advantages of the disclosure will become apparent from the following description and from the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a typical reclosable package or bag incorporating the zipper of the present disclosure. -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along plane 2-2 ofFIG. 1 , illustrating the cross section of a first embodiment of the zipper or reclosure of the present disclosure. -
FIG. 3 is an alternative cross-sectional view along plane 2-2 ofFIG. 1 , illustrating the cross section of a second embodiment of the zipper or reclosure of the present disclosure. - Referring now to the drawings in detail wherein like numerals indicate like elements throughout the several views, sees that
FIG. 1 is a typicalreclosable package 100 incorporating the zipper orreclosure 10 of the present disclosure. - The
package 100 ofFIG. 1 is meant to be illustrative and is representative of many different possible embodiments.Package 100 includes first (front) and second (rear)walls bottom seal 106 andside seals bottom seal 106. The first andsecond walls mouth 112 which is reclosable by zipper orreclosure 10, leading tostorage volume 114 where the consumer product is stored. - Zipper 10 is illustrated in
FIG. 2 .Zipper 10 is typically formed from polymeric material and includesfirst profile 12 andsecond profile 14 which extend across the length of themouth 112. In the illustrated embodiment, thezipper 10 is attached to the interior of first andsecond walls rear walls first profile 12 includesfirst base 15, which includes firstupper flange 16 and firstlower flange 18. At least a portion of first base 15 (possibly including first upper andlower flanges 16, 18) is used for attachment, such as, but not limited to, sealing, to thefirst wall 102.First profile 12 further includes firstmale interlocking element 20 and secondmale interlocking element 22 which are separated byinternal zipper volume 24. -
Second profile 14 includessecond base 30, which includes secondupper flange 32 and secondlower flange 34. At least a portion of second base 30 (possibly including second upper andlower flanges 32, 34) is for attachment, such as, but not limited to, sealing, to thesecond wall 104.Second profile 14 further includes firstfemale interlocking element 36 and secondfemale interlocking element 38, aligned for engagement with respective firstmale interlocking element 20 and secondmale interlocking element 22 and likewise boundinginternal zipper volume 24. - Fragrance-carrying
oil 40 is typically placed onfirst base 15, withininternal zipper volume 24 between firstmale interlocking element 20 and secondmale interlocking element 22. This fragrance-carryingoil 40 could either be blended on the polymer formulation of the zipper 10 (fully or coextruded) or applied in a separate step after formation (such as extrusion) of first andsecond profiles second profiles internal zipper volume 24 and will not penetrate intostorage volume 114 of the package 100 (seeFIG. 1 ). As it is expected that the fragrance would not escape externally, the fragrance would be expected to last for an extended period. In other embodiments, the fragrance-carryingoil 40 could be applied on asingle zipper 10 wherein the intention could be to modify the smell of the packed product or to release the fragrance externally to increase the appeal of the product before the consumer opened thezipper 10. - In the second embodiment of
zipper 10, as illustrated inFIG. 3 ,first profile 12 includesfirst base 15 and singlemale interlocking element 20′.Second profile 14 includessecond base 30 and singlefemale interlocking element 36′. Singlemale interlocking element 20′ has a similar structure to first and secondmale interlocking elements FIG. 1 and includes post 41 terminating inarrowhead element 42. Singlefemale interlocking element 36′ has a similar structure to first and secondfemale elements FIG. 1 , and includes first and secondarcuate extending arms second hooks Internal zipper volume 24′ is formed between first and secondarcuate extending arms oil 40 is applied or incorporated into or onto the singlemale interlocking element 20′ (other embodiments may likewise apply or incorporate the fragrance-carrying oil into or onto the interior of the singlefemale interlocking element 36′, within theinternal zipper volume 24, such as, but not limited to, the internal walls of the first and secondarcuate extending arms 44, 46). The fragrance-carryingoil 40, and therefore the scent, is therefore covered by the singlefemale interlocking element 36′. The scent remains covered until thepackage 100 is opened by separating the first andsecond profiles zipper 10, rather than theentire package 100, is scented. Similarly, the shelf-life of the scent is preserved. The consumer is exposed to the scent only when thepackage 10 is open, and is isolated from the scent when thepackage 10 is closed. Further, in some embodiments, thezipper 10 may include a scent absorbing profile. - Thus the several aforementioned objects and advantages are most effectively attained. Although preferred embodiments of the invention have been disclosed and described in detail herein, it should be understood that this invention is in no sense limited thereby and its scope is to be determined by that of the appended claims.
