Publication number: 20130195385Abstract: A child-resistant tamper-resistant bag is provided, of the type which may be used for prescription medicine and other products. The bag includes front and rear walls with a product-side-only opening zipper which defines a product compartment within the bag. The mouth of the bag includes a one-time close-only zipper thereby allowing a pharmacist or other person to easily and securely fill the bag with product and securely close the bag. A line of perforations or other line of weakness may be provided between the two zippers, in order to provide consumer access to the product-side-only opening zipper. The consumer then grasps the walls of the bag on the product side of the product-side-only opening zipper and pulls the walls away from each other thereby opening the product-side-only opening zipper and providing access to the product compartment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2012Publication date: August 1, 2013Applicant: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC.Inventor: Victor MATIAS

Publication number: 20130178793Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pump-to-bottle bag which allows breast feeding mothers to transfer milk from a breast pump directly into the bag. The apparatus includes a cylindrical support which engages a pump receiving ring within its mouth so as to engage the free edges of the bag between the cylindrical support and the pump receiving ring. The pump receiving ring receives the breast pump so that the milk can be pumped directly into the bag.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2012Publication date: July 11, 2013Inventor: Victor MATIAS

Publication number: 20120051670Abstract: The disclosure regards a storage bag for breast milk or other liquids or materials. The storage bag includes first and second closures, wherein a first line of perforations is U-shaped and extends through the first closure, thereby allowing an output of a breast pump or other device to be inserted through the area where material defined by the first line of perforations is removed. The first closure can further be used to engage the output of the breast pump or other device. A second closure is formed further within the storage bag and defines a storage volume. A second line of perforations is provided above the second closure. After the storage volume is filled, the second closure can be closed and the material above the second line of perforations can be removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2011Publication date: March 1, 2012Applicant: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC.Inventor: Victor MATIAS

Publication number: 20110194790Abstract: The zipper profiles have a complex shape, such as a double zipper configuration. The apparatus for the manufacture thereof includes an extrusion die and further includes a main or primary extruder for the supply of material, such as low density polyethylene, to form the tubing for the manufacture of reclosable packages, bags or pouches. The apparatus further includes at least one secondary extruder, or co-extruder, for the extruding of each reclosable profile onto the tubing. The speed of the co-extruders is controlled so as to control the extrusion of the reclosable profiles.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2011Publication date: August 11, 2011Applicant: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC.Inventors: Roy Kosub, Victor Matias

Publication number: 20090257685Abstract: A bag comprising a receptacle and first and second reclosable structures installed inside and across a mouth of the receptacle, the first and second reclosable structures being parallel and spaced apart from each other. At least portions of the first and second reclosable structures bound a passageway within the mouth of the receptacle when the first and second reclosable structures are in fully closed states. The receptacle comprises a vent that is in flow communication with an interior volume of the receptacle via the passageway when both the vent and the first reclosable structure are in at least partially open states. If, while the first and second reclosable structures are in fully closed states, the pressure inside the interior volume is increased sufficiently, the first reclosable structure will open at least partly to allow gas from the interior volume to escape into the passageway while the second reclosable structure remains in a fully closed state.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2009Publication date: October 15, 2009Applicant: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC.Inventor: Victor Matias

Patent number: 5677030Abstract: A shelf assembly for refrigerators, freezers and the like including a glass shelf, an extruded edge trim wrapped around and enclosing the peripheral edges of the shelf, and a shelf supporting unit including a pair of side brackets connected together by spaced apart front and rear bars, the edge trim having a U-shaped construction for receiving the peripheral edges of the shelf therein, so that the edge trim provides a rectangular frame arrangement around the shelf to form a raised dam barrier adjacent the peripheral edges of the shelf to prevent any spilled liquid from running off an upper surface of the shelf, thus making the shelf spillproof. Cut-out securement openings are provided in the shelf edge trim to receive the front and rear bars therein, one of the bars being hooked in one pair of cut-outs, and the other one of the bars being snapped into the other pair of cut-outs.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 1996Date of Patent: October 14, 1997Assignee: Silvatrim AssociatesInventors: Daniel Shanok, William Shanok, Joseph Limansky, Victor Matias
