Patent number: 11697526Abstract: A storage bag includes first and second side surfaces that form an interior of the bag with an opening to the interior. A first closure profile connected to the first side surface and positioned adjacent to the opening has a top edge and includes an interlocking member that extends between first and second sides of the first closure profile forms a lip between the interlocking member and the top edge. A second closure profile connected to the second side surface and positioned adjacent to the opening of the bag has a top edge and includes an interlocking member. A first portion of the lip of the second closure profile smoothly transitions into a third portion of the lip of the second closure profile, and the third portion of the lip of the second closure profile smoothly transitions into a second portion of the lip of the second closure profile.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2021Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: S.C.

Publication number: 20170190475Abstract: A storage bag is provided with visually distinct features that facilitate opening and closing of the bag. The visually distinct features result in the bag having an asymmetric appearance about one or more imaginary lines along the bag. The visually distinct features and resulting asymmetries provide a visual cue for a user as to how the bag should be grasped when being opened. The visually distinct features, as well as other features of the bag, may also facilitate manufacturing of the bag.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: July 6, 2017Applicant: S.C.

Publication number: 20140153846Abstract: A storage bag has first and second closure profiles adjacent to an opening to the interior of the bag. The first and second closure profiles have dimples that are aligned opposite to each other. By way of example, the dimples of the first closure profile are formed as a concave surface on the side of the first closure profile facing the interior of the bag and a convex surface on the side of the first closure profile facing the outside of the bag. Engaging of the dimples of the first closure profile with the dimples of the second closure profile provides at least one of a visual indication and a tactile sensation, when the interlocking member of the first closure profile is blocked with that of the second.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2014Publication date: June 5, 2014Inventors: Brian C.
