Abstract: A vented bag includes a length of tubular gas-impervious material sealed to closure at at least one end thereof by a plurality of spaced apart seal lines each including a discontinuity proximate one end thereof. The discontinuities in adjacent ones of the seal lines are disposed proximate opposite ends of the lines so that the discontinuities, the lines and the adjoining material form a tortuous channel providing communication between the interior of the bag and the exterior of the bag.

Abstract: A vented bag includes at least one rectangular sheet of substantially gas-impervious material having a top edge, a bottom edge opposite said top edge, and a first side edge folded over an opposite second side edge to form a tube. The tube has a longitudinal seam including at least first and second overlapping sheet portions joined together along a plurality of seal lines extending longitudinally from said top edge of said sheet to said bottom edge of said sheet. The bag is sealed to closure at one end of said tube. Each of the plurality of seal lines includes a discontinuity proximate one of the top and bottom edges of the sheet. The discontinuities in adjacent ones of the seal lines are disposed proximate opposites ones of the top and bottom edges of the sheet such that the plurality of seal lines, the discontinuities, and the first and second overlapping sheet portions form a tortuous channel providing communication between the interior of the bag and the exterior of the bag.

Abstract: An integrated combination pedestrian sign and push button is provided for use particularly with respect to the mounting of pedestrian actuated switches for controlling traffic lights. A saddle is formed with a semi-cylindrical, longitudinally extending, concave rear face conforming to the contour of a cylindrical post to which the unit is normally mounted and a front face formed with raised letters presenting pedestrian information. The upper and lower ends of the saddle are formed wtih arcuate grooves on the front face thereof for engagement by metal banding straps employed to secure the saddle to an appropriate post. A manually operated push button switch for pedestrians is mounted to the lower front face of the saddle for connection with traffic signal control circuits.
