Patent number: 10647476Abstract: The bag may include a draw tape that may be used to cinch closed the opening of the bag. The draw tape has at least one stretched elastomeric strip attached to the draw tape in an extended condition. The draw tape may be smaller in size than the bag sidewalls. The draw tape may include an elastic characteristic, such as patterned ribs. In one embodiment, the roll of bag is kept under tension to maintain the elastomeric strips in a stretched condition.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: THE GLAD PRODUCTS COMPANYInventors: Gregory S.

Patent number: 9969534Abstract: The bag may include a draw tape that may be used to cinch closed the opening of the bag. The draw tape may include an elastic characteristic and may be smaller in size than the peripheral distance about the opening. The draw tape in its natural contracted state may partially constrict the opening. However, the draw tape may be stretched or expanded to enable a user to dilate the opening and fold the periphery of the opening over the rim of the canister. The draw tape may then recover or constrict to grip about the rim of the receptacle to hold the bag to the canister. In one embodiment, the bag may include a pattern proximate the bag opening to allow the bag opening to be stretched over the rim of the canister.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: The Glad Products CompanyInventors: Gregory S. Kent, Matthew W. Waldron, Shaun T. Broering, David Hoying, John Schroeder
