Abstract: A multi compartment reclosable plastic bag including four or more panels sealed together to form at least two bags with each bag having a resealable opening. One of the bags may be smaller than the other(s). The plastic bags further include lips that are adjacent to the resealable openings. The bags incorporate closure elements for sealing and unsealing of the resealable openings. The smaller bag may include a lip that folds toward the space between the smaller bag and an adjacent bag to form a cuff portion adapted to secure contents inserted between the smaller bag and the adjacent bag.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plastic bag suitable for crushing and dispensing an object, such as medicinal pill. The bag has an open end, is strong enough to withstand crushing forces, and includes a bottom seal that forms an angle of greater than 90° with the sides of the bag. For example, the bottom seal may be curved and concave toward the open end of the bag. The bag may also include a lip near the opening and formed by one of the bag walls The bag may also include a gripper on any of (1) the interior or exterior surfaces of the lip or (2) the interior or exterior surface of the other wall. The bag may also include an indicator mark, e.g., a colored line near the opening to serve as a visual and/or tactile indicator for the user of the bag.

Abstract: A reclosable plastic bag includes two panels sealed to form a container having a bottom and an openable top. The plastic bag further includes lips that are adjacent to the openable top and which are initially joined to one another by a removable element. The removable element when attached indicates that the bag has not yet been used. When the removable element is no longer attached this indicates that the bag may have been used (contaminated). The reclosable plastic bag also includes a closure element for sealing and unsealing the openable top of the bag.

Abstract: A multi-compartment reclosable bag that includes closures that effectively separate the compartments' contents and reduces accidental mixing is described. In addition, perforations in the bag facilitate selective dispensing of a portion of the bag's contents. The reclosable bag includes first and second panels joined along their side edges. An upper closure comprises a male profile having opposing first and second barbs. The first barb is substantially longer than the second barb. An intermediate closure is positioned between the upper closure and a bottom edge of the bag. The intermediate closure comprises a male profile having opposing third and fourth barbs. The third barb is substantially longer than the fourth barb. The first barb is oriented downwardly and the third barb is oriented upwardly for reducing accidental opening of the closures.
