The first tape fastener engages the second tape fastener when the flap portion of the first sidewall is in the folded position.

Abstract: A narrow, elongated, hard plastic, U-shaped sealing clip for an opened gabled container, providing repeated sealable air tight, leak-resistant closure of the container. Each leg of the U-shaped clip embodies an elongated longitudinally extending bead facing inward of the U, which beads are directly adjacent each other throughout their entire length. The beads are closely spaced and sized to enclose the gabled top of a container, at an upper portion thereof, with a resilient enclosing grip therebetween, to compressively close the portion of the container top which was opened for removal of material from the container. The spacing between the beads is less than the thickness of the container walls whereby, with the slide-on engagement with the gabled top of the container, the sealing clip assumes a compressive V-shaped conformation.

Abstract: A slide-on closure for containers such as beverage cartons is in the form of a tubular body with a longitudinal slit having a divergent section at one end to facilitate sliding of the closure onto the container. The tubular body further includes reinforcements surrounding the body which facilitate gripping the closure and a notch opposite the divergent section which enhances deformation of the closure when sliding same onto the container.

Abstract: A containment and disposal bag for human bodily fluids is disclosed which includes a bag having a hollow interior and a top at least partially open to receive the bodily fluids; preferably a funnel structure within the bag to channel said bodily fluids into the interior and to restrict expulsion of bodily fluids from the interior prior to sequestration; a hydrophilic material within the bag which is rapidly gellable upon contact with the bodily fluids in the bag, the gellation serving to essentially completely sequester the bodily fluids and prevent it from thereafter being expelled from the bag; and a closure to close the top of the bag after introduction of the bodily fluids into the bag. The hydrophilic material is commonly a polymer which is activated upon contact with the water-based bodily fluids and which gels rapidly (normally within thirty seconds or less) to sequester the bodily fluids.

An elongated track member having spaced apart side portions adapted for attachment to the adjacent upper edges of the container side walls, each side portion having a guide members extending along its outer surface and substantially the full width of the carton side walls. An elongated slider member attached to the track member parallel to the guide members has opposed jaw portions along its length with edge portions which are slidable on the guide members. Stop members are provided at opposite ends of the guide members for retaining the slider on the track member.

Abstract: A container is provided that will minimize the possibility of tampering by unauthorized persons. The container is formed of a one-piece, thermoplastic material, preferable a transparent material, that would make any unauthorized entry in the container more readily visible to the buying public. The novel container is fabricated by a novel combined compression and blow molding process with a single opening that can be sealed after the container is filled. A closure cap is formed in the process as a portion of the unitary container, which cap can be readily separated from the container by the user for gaining access to the contents of the container, and thereafter used to seal the opening in the container between openings.

Abstract: A molded plastic container has first and second portions which are relatively movable between open and closed configurations; and the two portions have first edges which are juxtaposed when the portions are closed. A T-shaped rail is fixed to the first edge of one of the container portions, and the rail extends along said edge for a significant length--except for a location where it is interrupted by two adjacent gaps. A pair of posts are fixed to the first edge of the second container portion, and the posts are positioned so as to be insertable into the two rail gaps when the two container portions are in their closed configuration. The posts have a transverse configuration which matches the transverse configuration of the rail, so that the posts may be described as forming geometric extensions of the rail when the two container portions are closed. A slide has an interiorly facing opening which is sized for engaging the rail and for being captured thereby.

Abstract: A closure device adapted for clamping a flexible bag has a pair of hinged jaws including slideably mounted extension pieces adjustably retained in pre-selected positions of extension.
