Abstract: A multicompartment bag has at least three compartments that are resealable for opening and closing the compartments to receive items into and pass items out of the compartments. The bag is formed from a polymeric material. The openings are oriented to two opposite directions.

Abstract: A bag that is capable of being turned inside out (“everted”) so that items can be picked up using the bag so that the item does not contact a user's hand. The bag is formed with a tall gusset that defines spaces for the user to place the fingers and thumb, respectively in the bag. The gusset can then be used to grasp the item before everting the bag by pulling the item and gusset upwardly through the top of the bag to achieve eversion.

Abstract: A flexible, multicompartment container and a web including a multiplicity of such containers. One of the containers includes a first flexible panel and a second flexible panel. The first and second flexible panels are joined together along a bottom edge joint, a first side edge joint and a second side edge joint. A third flexible panel located between the first and second flexible panels is connected to the first and second flexible panels at least at one of the bottom edge joint, the first side edge joint and second side joint. The first, second and third flexible panels are arranged to form two separate compartments within the container. A fastening system connected to the first flexible panel and the second flexible panel can selectively open and close a top of the container thereby to permit access to the two separate compartments and to block access to the two separate compartments.

Abstract: A method of making gloves from a web of material, which leaves no scrap from the web of material. A first sheet of material is overlaid on a second sheet of material forming a web. First and second glove patterns are formed in the web are arranged to be opposite one another in the cross machine direction of the web. A sinusoidal cut can be made in the web in the machine direction to form glove patterns opposite each other in the cross machine direction.

Abstract: A method of making a multilayer disposable glove from individual layers of film. The method includes providing at least three individual layers of film and arranging the at least three individual layers of film into a stack. The stack includes a first stack portion that has at least two of the individual layers and a second stack portion that has at least one of the individual layers. The method also includes sealing the first and second portions together along a hand-shaped outline. The method also includes cutting the sealed stack along the hand-shaped outline so the seal remains intact, thereby forming the multilayer glove.

Abstract: A polymeric bag for storing items. The bag includes connector elements that can be connected together at different locations. The connection of the connector elements effectively reduces the volume of the bag so that it can more closely conform to the item stored in the back.

Abstract: A glove matrix and method of making gloves from a web of material, which leaves no scrap from the web of material. A first sheet of material is overlaid on a second sheet of material forming a web. First and second glove patterns are formed in the web are arranged to be opposite one another in the cross machine direction of the web. A sinusoidal cut can be made in the web in the machine direction to form glove patterns opposite each other in the cross machine direction.

Abstract: A roll of separable bags which leaves no scrap material and method of making a roll of separable bags which leaves no scrap material is disclosed herein. An elongated tube of material having a length and a width is laid flat, forming a web of material. The web of material comprises an outer and an inner sheet portion. First and second seals are formed widthwise across the outer and inner sheet portions. First and second bag separating perforation lines are formed widthwise across the outer and inner sheet portions. A user may tear one bag away from the roll of bags by using the bag separating perforation line. The user may then deploy the handles of the bag by tearing along the handle perforation lines.

Abstract: A web of separable bags includes first and second sheet members. First lines of weakness are constructed to promote tearing for separating a bag assembly from the web. Second lines of weakness are constructed to promote tearing of the first and second sheet members into a first bag and a second bag. The first and second bags having openings along opposite longitudinal edges of the bag assembly. The first longitudinal edge margin of at least one of the first and second sheet members is movable into engagement with the other of the first and second sheet members for closing the opening associated with the first bag, and the second longitudinal edge margin of at least one of the first and second sheet members is movable into engagement with the other of the first and second sheet members for closing the opening associated with the second bag.

Abstract: A pair of separable shoe covers formed into a web of polymeric material having an outer and inner sheet portions is disclosed herein. The web may be spooled into a roll of separable shoe covers. First and second seals are formed widthwise across the outer and inner sheet portions and form forward and rearward portions of respective shoes of a pair. First and second perforations are formed widthwise across the outer and inner sheet portions can separate an individual shoe cover in part. A third perforation forms a separable boundary of respective shoe covers of the pair. The user may tear a shoe cover away from the web by tearing along the perforation lines. The user may then deploy the shoe cover by separating the outer and inner sheet portions.

Abstract: Systems and methods of making a glove pack and for removing gloves from the glove pack are disclosed. The glove pack includes a stack of gloves. The stack of gloves includes a first glove engaging a second glove. The first and second gloves each have an exterior gripping surface. Each exterior gripping surface of the first and second gloves engages and adheres to the exterior gripping surface of the other of the first or second glove in the stack of gloves thereby adhering the first and second gloves together in the stack of gloves such that when the first glove is removed from the stack of gloves at least a portion of the second glove moves with the first glove.
