Patent number: 11807438Abstract: A flexible packaging laminate is formed to have a built-in opening and reclose feature by forming the laminate as a two-part structure having an outer structure joined in face-to-face relation with an inner structure. Score lines are formed in both structures to enable an opening to be formed through the laminate by lifting an opening portion (e.g., a flap or the like) of the two structures out of the plane of the laminate. The score line through the outer structure defines a larger opening than the score line through the inner structure, such that a marginal region of the outer structure extends beyond the edge of the opening portion of the inner structure. A pressure-sensitive adhesive is used to re-adhere the marginal region to an underlying surface of the inner structure adjacent the opening through the laminate.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: SONOCO DEVELOPMENT, INC.Inventors: Robert Charles Hebert, Scott William Huffer, Barry Roland Reese, John A.

Publication number: 20220258827Abstract: A bicycle has a front fork, within which the front wheel is mounted, attached to the head tube. Extending downwardly from each end of a lateral member are downwardly projecting forks, each comprising a primary portion, the respective primary portions extending downwardly and substantially parallel to each other. The longitudinal axes of both the main portion and a rider's lower leg are aligned. By aligning the wakes created by the forks and the lower leg a reduction in overall system drag is provided. Additionally or alternatively, the rear wheel may be provided between downwardly projecting stays, each comprising a primary portion, the respective primary portions extending downwardly and substantially parallel to each other. By aligning the downwardly projecting stays with the lower leg beneficial drag reduction is achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Anthony John Purnell, Christopher Charles Hebert, Neil James Ashton, Richard Matthews, Gregory Martin Stevens

Patent number: 11338977Abstract: The invention comprises, in an embodiment, a resealable packaging structure comprising a container having a bottom and at least one sidewall extending upwardly therefrom, wherein the sidewall terminates in a flange. A flexible resealable lid is sealed to the flange. The lid comprises a polyethylene terephthalate layer disposed adjacent the flange, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed adjacent the polyethylene terephthalate layer, and an oriented polypropylene layer disposed adjacent the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The polyethylene terephthalate layer comprises a laser scored line which penetrates through the thickness of the inner layer but not through the outer layer and defines an opening portion that can be lifted out of the plane of the inner layer, thereby creating an opening through the lid defined by the laser score line.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Sonoco Development, Inc.Inventors: Robert Charles Hebert, Scott William Huffer, Barry Roland Reese, John A.
