Definitions
- the present invention relates to a reclosable thermoplastic bag.
- Reclosable thermoplastic bags have a wide variety of applications, most notably in the food industry.
- the bags typically comprise two opposing sidewalls attached together along the side edges and bottom to form the sides and bottom of the bag.
- the bags also include a reclosable fastener along the tops of the sidewalls, or the mouth of the bag. sometimes there is a pleat in the bottom of the bag which helps expand the volume available for storage.
- the reclosable fastener extends along the centerline of the mouth of the bag. That is, when viewed from the top of the bag, the reclosable fastener would be positioned directly across the center. However, when the bag is filled and closed, the reclosable fastener along the centerline of the mouth tends to stick out past the side edges of the bag. This presents a problem when the bag is inserted into a secondary container such as a box, as the fastener sticks out too far, so that the bag does not easily fit into a close-fitting container.
- U.S. Patent No. Re. 34,317 issued to Van Erden et al.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,275,491 issued to Kuge et al.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,080,253 issued to Zieke describes a cropped or chamfered top section of the bag as well as pleats along the sides of the bag.
- a problem with such modifications to the fastener is that when the bag mouth is opened, the available area is restricted, making it relatively difficult to fill the bags.
- the reclosable fastener is disposed along the centerline of the mouth of the bag.
- the problem with such fasteners disposed along the centerline is that when the bag is filled, the fasteners stick out from the sides of the bag, making the bags undesirable as liners for close-fitting containers. That is, in order to use such bags as liners for containers, the containers must be larger than necessary in order to permit the fastener to fit inside the containers, thereby wasting space inside the container. Furthermore, if the fastener is cut so that it does not stick out, then the bag becomes difficult to fill because the mouth opening is restricted. It would be an advance in the art of reclosable thermoplastic bags to provide a bag which can conveniently be used as a liner for a close- fitting container while still maintaining a relatively unrestricted mouth opening when the bag is opened.
- the present invention provides an alternative to the bags of the prior art.
- the present invention is a reclosable thermoplastic bag comprising first and second sidewalls, each having a top, a bottom and two opposing side edges, the first and second sidewalls being attached together along the side edges and proximate to the bottom; an inwardly folded top pleat positioned across the first sidewall; a reclosable fastener having at least two cooperating closure members, one closure member being positioned proximate to the top of the first sidewall above the pleat, the other closure member being positioned proximate to the top of the second sidewall, such that when the bag is filled and closed, the reclosable fastener is offset.
- the present invention is a reclosable thermoplastic bag comprising two sidewalls, each having a top, a bottom and two opposing side edges, the sidewalls being attached together along the side edges and proximate to the bottom; a top inwardly folded pleat extending laterally between the side edges in one of the sidewalls; a reclosable fastener positioned proximate to the top of the sidewalls above the pleat, such that when the bag is filled and the reclosable fastener is closed, the reclosable fastener is offset.
- the reclosable fastener is offset, such that it extends along the perimeter of the bag rather than along the centerline.
- the reclosable fastener does not stick out from the sides of the bag and does not need to be cut in order to fit inside a close-fitting container. This permits better use of the bag as a liner while still maintaining the full area of the mouth opening to be available for filling the bag.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a filled bag of the present invention in an expanded condition.
- Figure 2 is a front plan view of a bag of the present invention.
- Figure 3 is a cross sectional view of a bag in a collapsed condition taken along line 3-3 of Figure 2, showing top and bottom pleats embodying the present invention.
- Figure 4 A and 4B are top views of bags embodying the present invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a thermoplastic bag B of the present invention.
- Bag 10 includes opposing sidewalls 11 and 12, an inwardly folded top pleat 13, and a reclosable fastener 14.
- bag 10 also includes a bottom pleat 15.
- Bag 10 can be made from any suitable thermoplastic film such as, for example, low density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, substantially linear copolymers of ethylene and a C3-C8 ⁇ -olefin, polypropylene, polyvinylidene chloride, mixtures of two or more of these polymers, or mixtures of one or more of these polymers with another thermoplastic polymer.
- the thermoplastic film can be any desired thickness.
- the film thickness is greater than about 0.5 mils, more preferably greater than about 0.75 mils, and most preferably greater than about 1.0 mils.
- the film thickness is less than about 10.0 mils, more preferably less than about 7.5 mils, and most preferably less than about 5.0 mils.
- Each sidewall 11 and 12 has a top 23a, 23b, a bottom 25a, 25b, and two opposing side edges.
- the tops of the sidewalls form a mouth 27 of the bag 10.
- the side edges of the sidewalls are common and sealed together to form common side seals 16 and 17.
- the side seals can be formed by any desired means, such as, for example, impulse sealing, hot wire sealing, hot knife sealing, folding, using an adhesive, or any other desired means.
- the sidewalls 11 and 12 are also attached to each other along the bottom 25 of the bag 10 by any desired means such as, for example, impulse sealing, hot wire sealing, hot knife sealing, folding, using an adhesive, or any other desired means.
- top pleat 13 which is positioned laterally along the width of at least one of the sidewalls 11.
- top pleat 13 is positioned proximate to the top of sidewall 11.
- "Proximate to the top" of a sidewall is defined herein as meaning closer to the top 23 a of the sidewall 11 than to the bottom 25.
- Top pleat 13 is simply an inward fold extending laterally across the width of the sidewall 11.
- top pleat 13 is an inward fold as opposed to an outward fold, meaning it forms a pocket inside the sidewall 11, as opposed to a flap which would stick out of the sidewall when in the collapsed condition, illustrated in Figure 3.
- the top pleat 13 enables the sidewall 1 1 to effectively lengthen relative to the side wall 12 and thereby expand outwardly farther than the sidewall 11 could expand without the fold as illustrated in Figures 1 and 4a, 4b.
- the inside crease 13a of top pleat 13 becomes the centerline C of the bag, as opposed to the fastener 14.
- reclosable fastener 14 is displaced from its initial central position illustrated in Figure 3 when bag 10 is collapsed to an offset position illustrated in figures 1, 4a, and 4b when the bag is filled and expandable, as opposed to being disposed along the centerline of the mouth of the bag when filled.
- Figures 4A and 4B illustrate top views of the offset fasteners of the present invention.
- the dashed lines in figures 4A and 4B depict what is defined herein as the centerline C of the mouth of the bag.
- the reclosable fastener 14 does not extend along the centerline C of the mouth of the bag; rather, the reclosable fastener 14 is offset, such that it is positioned along the perimeter of the bag when the bag is filled and is bowed away from the wall 11 toward the wall 12.
- Top pleat 13 can be any desired depth.
- the depth of the top pleat 13, di is defined herein as being the distance between the bottom of the reclosable fastener 14 and the fold.
- di is a maximum of 1/4 times the width of the bag, w.
- the width of the bag, w is defined herein as the distance from one side seal 16 of the bag to the other side seal 17.
- Varying the depth, di, of the top pleat 13 will change the shape of the filled bag.
- a relatively deep pleat having depth di will result in a elliptically shaped bag when viewed from the top, as in Figure 4 A.
- a relatively shallow pleat having depth di will result in more of a long, rectangular shape when viewed from the top, as in Figure 4B.
- selection of the appropriate di depends on the desired shape for the ultimate end use of the bag.
- the depth of bottom pleat 15, d is equal to di. In this manner, the shape of the bag will be uniform from top to bottom.
- the bag can be cylindrical such that it is an effective storage bag for bread and the like; or the bag can have squared corners such that is an effective liner for a cereal box and the like.
- Reclosable fastener 14 is positioned along the width of bag 10 proximate to the top of bag 10.
- the reclosable fastener is positioned closer to the top 23 of the bag than top pleat 13, such that the reclosable fastener is positioned between top pleat 13 and the top 23 of the bag when the bag is flat as in Figure 2.
- Reclosable fastener 14 can be any desired type of fastener having matable, reclosable fastening members or elements 31, 32 carried by walls 1 1, 12 of the bag 10 adjacent the top 23 thereof, such as, for example, a plastic zipper, a plastic zipper with a slider, an adhesive fastener, VELCRO, snaps, or any other type of reclosable fastener.
- reclosable fastener 14 is a plastic zipper having cooperating closure elements, such as, for example, rib and groove elements as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,140,727, rolling action closure elements as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,007,143, or U-shaped closure elements with interlocking hooks as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,747,702.
- the fastener can include a slider which travels along the fastener and is adapted to open or close the fastener, such as, for example, those described in U.S. Patent No. 5,070,583 and U.S. Patent No. 5,007,142.
- the reclosable fastener 14 may be extruded separately and attached to the sidewalls 1 1 and 12 of the bag or it may be extruded integrally with the sidewalls of the bag.
- the sidewalls and the reclosable fastener of the present invention can be made using methods well known in the art, such as, for example, by blow or cast extrusion.
- the bag of the present invention can be made using a sheet of film with a reclosable fastener disposed along the width of the sheet of film.
- the sheet of film is folded so as to form two layers of film with the reclosable fastener positioned at one end of the layers of film.
- the bag of the present invention is preferably made by inwardly folding a portion of one of the layers of film proximate to the fastener to form a top pleat; sealing the two layers of film together transversely to the top pleat to form a first side seal; sealing the two layers of film together transversely to the top pleat at a distance w from the first side seal.
- the method also includes inwardly folding at least one of the layers proximate to the bottom edge 25 to form a bottom pleat 15.
- Both the top and bottom pleats can be formed using such methods as described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,246,416, 5,186,707, 5,083,999, 5,147,278, incorporated herein by reference.
- a thirty-inch film is formed using standard cast-film equipment.
- the film includes a rib-and-groove type of plastic zipper such that the rib element is at one end of the film and the groove element is at the other end of the film.
- the film is folded in half such that two layers of film are formed, one layer having the rib element at the mouth end of the layer, the other layer having the groove element at a mouth end.
- the rib and groove elements are positioned such that they may interlock with each other.
- the fold between the two layers is the bottom edge of the bag.
- a top pleat is formed by inwardly folding one of the layers to a depth di of 6.35 cm.
- a bottom pleat is then formed by inwardly folding at the bottom edge to a depth d 2 of 6.35 cm.
- the two layers are then impulse sealed together transversely to the rib and groove closure elements at a distance of 25.4 cm apart.
- the bags are useful to store large, bulky items in a reclosable bag.
