Patent number: 9376242Abstract: A valve (10) is disclosed which is operable to automatically transition from a closed state to an open state in response to heat. The valve (10) includes: a cover (12) having at least one opening (12a) therein; at least one adhesive layer (32, 36) for sealing a perimeter of the cover (12) to a wall (22) of a food cooking package (20) on which the valve (10) is positioned; and, a deformable element (14) that shrinks in response to being exposed to heat, the deformable element (14) having a perimeter which is sealed by an adhesive when the valve (10) is in its closed state, wherein shrinking of the deformable element (14) pulls the perimeter of the deformable element (14) away from a site where it is sealed by the adhesive, thereby breaking the seal about the perimeter of the deformable element (14) and transitioning the valve (10) from its closed state to its open state.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: CCL Label, Inc.Inventors: David W. Seline, Richard L. Sandt, Mary Beth Rusin, Nicholas Greco

Publication number: 20110265891Abstract: A multi-layer control device comprising an adhesive layer, a base layer provided over the underlayer of adhesive, a baffle layer having a resealable section and a remainder section. The resealable section is able to detach from the remainder section of the baffle layer. The base layer has an opening to allow the expulsion of air within a receptacle while maintaining a seal from the outside environment. The interaction between the base layer and the baffle layer generates static energy. A method for adhering a multi-layer control device to a receptacle and releasing air pressure is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2011Publication date: November 3, 2011Applicant: AVERY DENNISON CORPORATIONInventors: David W. SELINE, Mary Beth RUSIN

Publication number: 20110253232Abstract: A multi-layer valve is provided for allowing oxygen to enter a package while maintaining a level of fluid and leak resistance. The multi-layer valve includes a first layer of adhesive that has a top and bottom face with the bottom face being adhered to a release liner. A permeable layer is provided over the first layer of adhesive, a second layer of adhesive that has a top and bottom face. The bottom face of the first adhesive layer is adhered to the permeable layer and the top face of the first adhesive layer is adhered to a cover layer such that the bottom face of the second layer of adhesive is separable from the permeable layer while the top face of the second layer of adhesive maintains adhesion with the cover layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2011Publication date: October 20, 2011Applicant: AVERY DENNISON CORPORATIONInventors: David W. SELINE, William G. HARTMAN, Linda BROCKMAN, Mary Beth RUSIN, Bassam HALLAK, David R. GARDNER, Nicholas GRECO
