  • Patent number: 9718585
    Abstract: A reclosable package is described that includes a package integrity feature defined by an inner film layer of the package. The package integrity feature includes a first die cut portion and a second die cut portion that both extend from a main die cut portion at least partially defining the opening of the package. The first and second die cut portions are continuous with each other and with the main die cut portion, such that they are defined by a single cut line. In some cases, the package integrity feature includes a neck region that tears when the package is opened and an anchor region that resists delamination. Because the first and second die cut portions are continuously formed with each other, the anchor region may have a circular or elliptical shape and is, thus, easier and more consistently manufactured, allowing for better performance.

  • Patent number: 4932076
    Abstract: In a fireman's helmet of the type having an outer shell and an impact resistant inner shell and a liner which has an upper band portion and an apron portion extending a substantial distance below the upper portion, the improvement wherein the upper band portion of the liner is arranged to extend around a lower marginal portion of the inner shell and is clamped between the lower marginal edge portion and an opposing face of the outer shell to be retained therebetween. A suspension anchor is provided for securing the head mounting harness to the impact resistant inner shell which comprises a short strap of a substantially rigid material having a sufficient length to extend through a mounting loop formed at the end of a web of the mounting harness. The short strap has a pair of anchoring legs projecting therefrom at opposite ends thereof which have sufficient length to project into the body of the inner shell to anchor the harness which is supported by the short strap in use.
