Bag Patents (Class 206/720)
  • Patent number: 12043451
    Abstract: One or more implementations of a multi-film thermoplastic bag with a conjoined hem channel. For example, the multi-film thermoplastic bag includes a multi-film hem channel. Bonds secure the layers of the hem channel together so as to prevent a drawtape from inverting or bunching an inner layer of the hem channel during cinching. The bonds are thus located in a hem channel of a multi-film thermoplastic bag so as to reduce an amount of mechanical engagement between the films of the multi-film thermoplastic bag and another thermoplastic film such as a drawtape. In one or more implementations, a grab zone of the multi-film thermoplastic bag also includes bonds in the form of contact areas to provide tactile and visual cues of strength in the grab zone.

    Abstract: The packaging system includes an enclosure having an interior volume. A wafer stack, comprising plural wafers and separators in contact with the wafers, is located in the interior volume. The separators have raised bumps extending from each side. The bumps create spaces that allow air to flow therethrough. The separator film intercepts and captures airborne molecular contaminants belonging to organic and inorganic chemical families. In addition, the film is dissipative to static discharge. Furthermore, the bumps provided by the separators protect the fragile wafers from damage due to mechanical shock. The separators are also provided with a peripheral ring or embossment, which contacts the wafer edges and further protects the wafers from damage to mechanical shock. Air cushions can be provided in the wafer stack, which cushions are provided with bands to regulate the compression.

  • Patent number: 8125770
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement to the bag computer of application Ser. No. 11/796,920. The bag computer has a pivoting display panel near its top front which can store against the bag front or pivot into the line of sight of the bag computer wearer/operator. To accommodate the computer input of typed or written information the bag computer may have a pivoting input device on the bag front. The input device may mount on a pivoting cover which covers the display panel when in storage or the input device may have a separate pivoting mount. To gain advantage through multiple components, the input device may be divided into a body which pivotally attaches to the bag front and a removable insert which may be adapted to alternatively accept typed or written input. Thus, the input device may be quickly changed from a cover to a keyboard or to an electronic write pad.

  • Patent number: 7880083
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a container or bag with several types of compartments with different forms of electromagnetic/wireless shielding. The types of compartments include a) an electromagnetic/wireless shielded compartment useful for line-of-site type shielding, b) an electromagnetic/wireless shielded compartment useful when a complete shielding enclosure is needed, and c) an unshielded compartment. The line-of-site shielded compartment prevents wireless access to the contents contained within when a complete shielding enclosure is not required, for example, for objects containing RFID tags, such as passports, books, and clothing. The compartment with a complete shielding enclosure prevents wireless access to devices that require a complete Faraday type cage, such as mobile phones, PDAs, or computers. Placing these and other devices within the shielded compartments protects them from remote access, and the data within is shielded from unscrupulous individuals.

  • Publication number: 20010015327
    Abstract: In surface packaging of thin resin packages such as surface mount resin molded memory ICs or the like, cracks of the package occur frequently at a solder reflow step where thermal impact is applied to the package because the resin has absorbed moisture before packaging. To solve this problem, the devices are sealed, by heat-sealing, in a bag moisture-tight at an assembly step of the resin molded devices where the resin is still dry, and are taken out from the bags immediately before the execution of surface packaging. The devices are packaged in a moisture-proofing bag made of a laminate film, and a desiccant is sealed, by heat-sealing the bag, in the moisture-proofing bag together with the, e.g., surface mount semiconductor device having a plastic package encapsulating the semiconductor device. A caution is provided for the bag, that the devices should be presented from moisture absorption after opening the bag.

  • Patent number: 6088212
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for minimizing electrostatic discharge damage to semiconductor objects utilizes an ionized air stream to reduce electrostatic and triboelectric potential build up in and surrounding semiconductor storage containers. The ionized air stream is continuously directed to a designated area where stored semiconductor objects are being removed from. Electrostatic and triboelectric potential is greatly reduced, minimizing the threat of electrostatic discharge and damage.

  • Patent number: 5981103
    Abstract: An assembly of an electronic device within a sealed chamber of a flexible container. The electronic device, which may be a printed circuit board, has signal terminals connected to elongated insulated signal conductors. These conductors pass through a laminate construction wall of the container for connection to outside conductors. The signal conductors are electrically isolated from an EMI protection layer which forms part of the laminate construction wall. A grounding device connects a ground conductor of the electronic device to the EMI protection layer. The grounding device comprises a ground element having teeth on one side. A screwthread arrangement extends through the container wall and clamps the ground element onto the wall with the teeth cutting into the EMI protection layer to be in electrical contact therewith. The ground conductor is electrically connected to the screwthread arrangement.

  • Patent number: 5881883
    Abstract: A protective package is disclosed, in particular a package for transporting electrosensitive contents such as electronic components. The package includes a folded inner sheet disposed within a folded outer sheet. The two sheets are sealed together forming an inner pouch and at least one outer pouch. The inner pouch, which is used to contain the primary contents of the package, is defined by the folded inner sheet and the outer pouch, which is used to contain supporting documentation and material, is defined by both the inner and outer folded sheets. The inner sheet is made of a material, such as a laminate, which provides the contents of the inner pouch with additional protection from environmental factors such as static electricity, electromagnetic radiation or electric fields.

  • Patent number: 5779056
    Abstract: An ESD protection system which shields PCAs during the assembly process comprises transportable support means for holding an ESD bag in a predetermined position which is convenient both for the insertion and extraction of a PCA(s) and for observing stored PCA(s), thus ensuring proper handling. The system has first and second attachment means for attaching the ESD bag to the frame and for holding papers associated with the PCA(s) outside the ESD bag and for providing the weight necessary for maintaining a sealing fold in the bag whenever the PCA(s) are enclosed therein. The transportable support means is a frame which is constructed to mate with a rack designed for accommodating a plurality of frames. When so mated, the rack provides the desired level of stability and orderly positioning of a desired number of frames spaced apart such that the ESD bags attached to the frames may be easily observed for correct loading, closure and paperwork processing.
