  • Publication number: 20240208695
    Abstract: A zipper assembly for an enclosure includes a flange having an interlocking side and an opposite panel side. The interlocking side has interlocking members configured to releasably engage and release from other interlocking members to alternate between closed and open states of the enclosure. The panel side is configured to be sealed to panels of the enclosure to affix the zipper assembly to the enclosure. The zipper assembly includes posts protruding from the panel side of the flange. The posts are configured to prevent compression of the posts and maintain a spatial separation between the panel side of the flange and the interlocking side of the flange while the zipper assembly is wound onto a supply roll. The posts are configured to collapse upon compression of the posts during sealing of the panel side of the flange to the panels of the enclosure to allow the panel side of the flange to be sealed to the panels.

  • Publication number: 20240188692
    Abstract: A zipper assembly is provided that can include an elongated base that may be coupled with a panel of an enclosure, and interlocking elements protruding from the base that can alternate between a mated state while coupled with other interlocking elements of another base and an unmated state while separated from the other interlocking elements of the other base to alternately close and open the enclosure. One or more of the base or the interlocking elements may include a core and at least a partial outer layer. The core can be formed from a core material having a higher water solubility than an outer material from which the outer layer is formed.
