Abstract: A self-kindling fuel package comprising a container with walls and at least one pinched closure with a semi-rigid wick longitudinally folded into the end closure creating an oxygen channel within the end closure, and a method of constructing the self-kindling fuel package.

Abstract: Apparatus for producing handled bags includes a web dispenser; a perforator for creating perforated seams transversely across the web at predetermined intervals to generate a succession of adjacent web sections; means for attaching at least one handle to each web section; a tube forming mechanism for configuring the web into a tubular configuration; a separating device for breaking the perforated seams to separate the adjacent web sections without disturbing the handles; and a bottom forming mechanism for closing the bottom end of each separated web section. The separating device includes a rotatable first breaker roll having a pressure bar provided thereon and a rotatable second breaker roll having a cooperating gap formed therein for receiving the pressure bar as the first and second breaker rolls are synchronously rotated with the web fed therebetween.

Abstract: A dunnage bag provided with an adhesive strip for attaching the uninflated bag to the surface against which it will bear when inflated. An attachment tab which is an extension of the material of the bag itself provides a means for attaching the adhesive strip to the bag, and thus a means of attaching the bag to the surface against which it will bear when inflated.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-wall dunnage bag wherein at least one end of the bag is closed by flaps which extend around the end of the bag and are adhesively secured to the plies which form the bag wall. The end of the outermost flap is disposed beneath the outermost ply and is adhesively secured thereto by the use of a thermally activated adhesive. The outermost flap and the penultimate flap may be secured together. Additionally, a conventional adhesive material connects the outermost ply with an adjacent portion of the bag.
