  • Patent number: 7017776
    Abstract: A container. The container has an aperture through which contents may be accessed. The aperture is sealable with a cover. The seal is opened or closed with a slider. The slider rides in a track which is congruent with the perimeter of the aperture. A portion of the track diverges from congruency to form an auxiliary track in which the slider may be parked. When parked, the cover may be opened or closed.

  • Patent number: 6722520
    Abstract: A container has a rigid, elongate reclosable fastener, a slider and a track for the slider. The track defines a travel path lying in more than one plane. The travel path has vector components extending in each of mutually orthogonal X, Y and Z directions. The slider is slidably attached to the reclosable fastener and moved along the track to open and close the reclosable fastener.

  • Patent number: 6592260
    Abstract: The present invention provides a flexible storage bag having an opening, a closure system for the opening, and a closure indicator. The closure indicator provides an audibly detectable signal upon closure, and optionally opening, of the closure system. The closure system may provide a seal which is preferably closed by a translatable slider as is known in the art. The translatable slider may intercept protuberances causing the protuberances to produce a snap or clicking sound as the slider passes over the protuberances. Alternatively, the closure indicator may be an adhesive bond which is disrupted by the translation of the slider. The closure indicator is passive, meaning that no additional action beyond the ordinary and commonly accepted movement of the slider is required to produce the audible signal.

  • Patent number: 6394299
    Abstract: A slider opens or closes an elongate, rigid reclosable fastener sealing a lid to the flange of a container where the fastener lies in a plane defining mutually orthogonal directions. The slider is slidably movable and attachable to a track disposed along the fastener defining a travel path having vector components in each of the orthogonal directions. The slider biases interlocking elements of the reclosable fastener operatively associated therewith into engagement with one another as the slider moves in a first direction and separates interlocking elements as the slider moves in a second direction opposite the first.

  • Patent number: 6386762
    Abstract: The present invention provides a flexible storage bag having an opening, a closure system for the opening, and a closure indicator. The closure indicator may be provided by, at or near the edges of the bag which define the opening. For example, the edges may be sinusoidal in shape or have another irregular shape, such that misalignment of the edges occurs when the bag is open. Upon closing the bag, the edges substantially align and become generally colinear. Alternatively, the closure indicator may comprise a mechanical seal which becomes colinear upon closing. In an alternative embodiment, flaps may be juxtaposed with the closure system. The flaps encounter a change of position upon closure of the bag. The change in position may either be complete severance from the bag, or inflect from a first position to a second position upon closure or opening of the bag. Closure and/or opening of the bag may be accomplished by a slider.
