  • Patent number: 4676851
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for producing integral interlocking closure film stock useful in making reclosable containers by extruding a film of molten thermoplastic material onto a casting roll, extruding closure elements to contact and join said film at a point between about one inch and about five inches prior to the tangency line of the film on the periphery of the casting roll, partially cooling the closure elements with liquid coolant starting anywhere within the region between the closure element extrusion exits, and the tangency line of a film of molten thermoplastic material and the periphery of the casting roll, and further cooling the closure elements by directing them past additional cooling assemblies. Stripping means are employed to remove liquid coolant from the cooled integral interlocking closure film stock material produced.

  • Patent number: 4665557
    Abstract: An interlocking closure fastening device comprising a first closure element having an omega-shaped profile portion, and a second complementary closure element having a plurality of omega-shaped profile portions spaced to interdigitate with the first closure element and occlude with the first closure element. The profile portion of the first closure element is made from a stiff resin material, and is attached to a base portion made from a flexible resin material. The second closure element is made from a stiff resin material. The base portions of the second closure element are spaced from each other and interconnected by a flexible connecting portion. The closure device is adapted for use with reclosable plastic freezer storage and cooking bags.
