  • Patent number: 7950072
    Abstract: A reversible belt with a slide buckle. One end of the reversible belt is thick enough to prevent the slide buckle from sliding there off so as to be retained thereon without looping the one end of the reversible belt. The other end of the reversible belt is thin enough to allow the slide buckle to slide there off so as to be replaceable on the reversible belt without compromising the structural integrity of the reversible belt, thereby allowing the slide buckle to be slide there off, the reversible belt reversed, and the slide buckle slide back thereon so as to allow the reversible belt to be reversible without looping of the one end of the reversible belt and without compromising the structural integrity of the reversible belt.

  • Patent number: 7335149
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the automatic manufacture of flat bottom bags from a substantially continuous supply of a sealable material whereby the material is formed as a bag having a reinforced sealed flat bottom formed by an interior bag forming assembly that is cooperable with a relatively movable bottom platform with sealers and a movable folder assembly that folds the bottom of the bag and removes it from the bag former assembly after a length of the bag is severed from the remainder of the material.

  • Patent number: 7014363
    Abstract: A tubular sleeve having an open top, a closed bottom wall, a front and back faces and a pair of opposing side walls connecting the front and back faces. The side walls are formed with at least one gusset allowing the front and back faces to extend from each other. The gussets are sealed unitarily at the bottom ends to form the bottom wall. The “square bottom” bag takes on a triangular lengthwise shape normally biased closed at the top but easily openable for maximum filling and discharge of the interior of the bag.

  • Patent number: 6918699
    Abstract: A tubular sleeve is shaped with a pair of opposing faces, a pair of opposing side walls, and a lowermost terminal edge. Double gussets are simultaneously formed on each opposing side walls of the shaped sleeve inward between the pair of opposing faces of the shaped sleeve and defining substantially square corners at intersection of the longitudinal ribs of the shaped sleeve and the lowermost terminal edge of the shaped sleeve. The square corners of the shaped sleeve are relieved and removed to form a flat bottom. A pair of handles are unitarily formed and integral with the frontal faces extending over the open top.
