Publication number: 20240083636Abstract: A bag including: a first side panel having a pair of first side panel transverse edges and a first side panel interior facing surface; a closure opposite the bottom, wherein the closure releasably connects the first side panel to a second side panel. The closure includes: a first flexible angle. The first flexible angle includes a first interior part joined to the first side panel inside of the interior volume and a first exterior part extending from the first interior part and outside of the interior volume. The closure includes a repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive that releasably engages the first exterior part to the second side panel interior facing surface. A free flange extends from the first exterior part. The free flange is devoid of the repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive. The first side panel and the second side panel are more than about 80% by weight paper.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventor: Laurens BEELEN

Patent number: 11897661Abstract: A bag that includes a first side sheet and a second side sheet, each of which are more than 80% by weight paper. The first side sheet includes an exteriorly oriented first pivotable flange that is distal to a first folded portion of the first side sheet. The interior facing surface of the panels of the first folded portion are bonded to one another. Optionally, the second side sheet includes an interiorly oriented second pivotable flange that is distal to a second folded portion of the second side sheet. The interior facing surface of the panels of the optional second folded portion are bonded to one another. A repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive is provided that releasably engages the first pivotable flange and the second side sheet or optional second pivotable flange.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventor: Laurens Beelen

Publication number: 20230322455Abstract: Examples include a cardboard support element for a cardboard container, the support element comprising a cardboard structure extending away from a base plane, a first flap connected to the cardboard structure and extended in a direction normal to the base plane, a first primary panel and a second primary panel connected by a linear ridge, a first secondary panel connecting the first flap and the first primary panel, whereby a first primary folding region parallel to the linear ridge separates the first secondary panel from the first primary panel, and a first flap folding region parallel to the linear ridge separates the first secondary panel from the first flap. The first flap folding region has a folding factor larger than a first primary folding region folding factor, a ratio of the first flap folding region folding factor to the first primary folding region folding factor being of more than 1:1.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Laurens BEELEN, Joost Peter LEFLERE, Paulus Antonius Augustinus HOEFTE

Patent number: 9856444Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for producing liquid detergent products using a vessel comprising an inlet, an outlet, an agitation device, and an additive mixing zone disposed between the inlet and the outlet. The method comprises introducing an unstructured liquid detergent precursor into the inlet of the vessel; mixing an additive and the unstructured liquid detergent precursor in an additive mixing zone to form a combined additive detergent; adding a structurant to the combined additive detergent downstream of the additive mixing zone to form a liquid detergent product. The liquid detergent products may be used in a water-soluble pouch, for e.g., a multi-compartment water-soluble pouch.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2014Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Francesc Corominas, Laurens Beelen, Mohamed Akalay
