Patent number: 9174782Abstract: A multi-panel sterilization assembly includes a barrier panel formed of a permeable material, a fold protection panel, and at least one panel attachment means. The barrier panel has a first end, an opposed second end, and a midpoint delineating the barrier panel into a content receiving region and a content covering region. Panel attachment means are located at or near edges of the barrier panel to identify the content receiving region. The fold protection panel has a proximal end and an opposed distal end. After the barrier panel is folded at or near the midpoint to bring its second end near its first end and its edges are brought together and secured by the panel attachment means to form a package, the fold protection panel folds at or near a pre-determined fold line to cover at least a portion of the edges of the folded barrier panel.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2013Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: Avent, Inc.Inventors: Melissa R.

Publication number: 20120305431Abstract: Disclosed is an easy-open envelope comprising a pocket for receiving and storing objects. The pocket further comprises a flap configured to be positioned in an open and closed position. The flap is further configured such that when positioned in a closed position, contents may not be added to or removed from the pocket. At least one of the flap interior or pocket exterior comprises an adhesive configured such that when the adhesive has been activated and the flap closed, the flap is secured to the pocket, and contents of the envelope pocket may not be accessed without destructively tearing some portion of the envelope. The easy-open envelope further comprises an embedded access device. The embedded access device is configured to permit easy access to the content of the easy-open envelope if the envelope has been sealed. A method for making the easy-open envelope is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2012Publication date: December 6, 2012Inventors: Andrew William Floyd, Gerald Jay Pirouznia

Patent number: 7033657Abstract: The present invention relates to a flexible magnetic wafer seal for adhesive attachment to folded pieces, such as brochures, folded cards, self-mailers and postal mailers, which are generally made of card stock. One or more flexible magnetic wafer seals may be adhesively attached to the open edges of a folded piece to secure the open edges together, for example, as required during the mailing process. The magnetic wafer seal can then be broken, preferably along at least one line of weakness, allowing the piece to be unfolded and converting the magnetic wafer seal into at least two magnetic holders for securing a piece to a metal surface. The unfolded piece can then be secured to a metallic surface by placing the side of the piece with the magnetic holders against the metallic surface, thereby allowing the magnetic holders to engage the metal surface, holding the piece in place.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2004Date of Patent: April 25, 2006Assignee: Crane Productions, Inc.Inventor: John J. Martin

Patent number: 4997126Abstract: A foldable greeting card is disclosed which is constructed with a plurality of panels connected by fold lines. Illustrations and corresponding descriptions are provided on faces of the series of panels and coordinated such that an illustration and corresponding description are always positioned adjacent one another as the series of panels is folded and unfolded at the fold lines. A removable sealing sticker is adhered in a storage position on a flat surface of one of the panels. The sealable sticker is removable from the storage space and usable to be folded over adjacent edges of the panels to hold them together in a sealed ready to be mailed condition. The surface of the panels and the adhesive surface of the sealing sticker permit removal of the sticker from its storage position, securing of the sticker to hold the package for mailing, and subsequent removal of the sticker from the greeting card package by a recipient, all without tearing or otherwise defacing the surface of the greeting card panels.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 1989Date of Patent: March 5, 1991Assignee: More Than A Card, Inc.Inventor: Berthe M.

Patent number: 4982845Abstract: A resealable packaging enclosure is disclosed which includes a tear path defining an aperture through which products may be extracted from the enclosure, and a resealable closure tab which extends across the tear path. The tear path includes weaker and stronger portions. The stronger portion is more resistent than the weaker portion to forces tending to separate the material comprising the enclosure along the tear path. Thus, the tear path has a variable resistance along its length to forces tending to open the enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1989Date of Patent: January 8, 1991Assignee: James River CorporationInventors: Brian Prascak, Todd Erickson
