  • Publication number: 20100236026
    Abstract: A belt-shaped base of a female member of a zipper tape attached to an inner surface of a bag body has a wide portion that extends wider toward an opening of the bag body than a belt-shaped base of the male member. An open tape is disposed on the wide portion and a seal layer is laminated on a surface of the open tape. A first projecting portion is also provided on the wide portion. A second projecting portion is provided on an opening-side end of the belt-shaped base. The projecting portions have a substantially trapezoidal cross section. When the zipper tape is bonded to the bag body and is sealed by the seal layer, a gap is provided between the open tape and the first and the second projecting portions.

  • Publication number: 20100101055
    Abstract: A slider is adapted for use with a reclosable fastener for bags containing material. The reclosable fastener includes a first track and a second track. The first track includes a first profile, while the second track includes a second profile. The first and second profiles are releasably engageable to each other. At least one of the first and second profiles has an interior portion. The slider comprises a body that includes a top, a first side, a second side and a separation member on an underside of the top. The separation member is adapted to open and close the fastener and includes a slider finger that extends generally downwardly from the top. The slider finger extends into an interior portion of the first profile so as to assist in removing material trapped in the interior portion of the first profile when closing the reclosable fastener.

  • Publication number: 20090144944
    Abstract: This invention is to provide a tying article which is formed into one piece used for tying objects, where the tying article has at least two sets of all-in-one ratchet sets at its surface, which are distributed along two sides separated by boundary pieces and each side has at least one bar-like bodies, where the ratchet set of each bar-like bodies is made up of at least two ratchets. When binding an article, the tying article can be divided into two parts. The first part is the enclosing part that loops the tied article, and the second part is the extending part that protrudes from the enclosing part. The extending part is again divided into two branches, where the seizing face of a corresponding ratchet of each branch is clenched by the enclosing part served as a detent. Once the binding works, the extending part tents to shrink back, but the seizing face of the ratchet is clenched by the enclosing part served as the detent, which enables a tight binding between the two and an adjustable binding as well.

  • Publication number: 20080189913
    Abstract: A closure element is used for closing an opening disposed through the flexible sidewall of a storage bag such as those used to store food items. Storage bags of this type provide an internal volume accessible via the opening. The closure element includes a first fastening strip and an interlocking second closure strip. The first and second fastening strips include complementary, engagable first and second closure profiles. To hermetically seal the internal volume, at least a portion of the first or second fastening strip can include a sealant. The sealant can be a displaceable fluid, fluid-like substance, or wax-like substance such as an oil or a gel. When the closure profiles are engaged, the sealant provides an air tight barrier sealing the internal volume.
