Patent number: 10513078Abstract: During the manufacturing process the exterior surface of one or both of the sheets of plastic film which form the bags is treated with low temperature corona discharge plasma to raise the level of surface charge magnitude to at least 43 Dyne to increase the adhesion force between the bags. A recess is formed in each of the bags to further increase the adhesion. The increased adhesion causes the mouth of one bag to automatically open as the adjacent bag is removed from the rack. The recess is formed at the same time openings are created in the bags to accept the support rods of a dispensing rack. The bags can have simple edge sides or side gussets and may be provided in a package including a pouch which receives and supports the lower portions of the bags.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2015Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: New York Packaging II, LLCInventor: Jeffrey D.

Patent number: 4798574Abstract: A paper bag having a barrier material and a method of coating paper for use in making such a paper bag. The method comprises the steps of: continuously removing in a direction of travel a strip of paper from a source of paper at a predetermined speed; masking with a liquid impervious mask at least one longitudinal portion of the strip of paper in the direction of travel; routing the strip of paper and the mask through a bath of liquid barrier material, the liquid barrier material substantially saturating the strip of paper except for the masked portion; removing the mask from the strip of paper after moving it out of the liquid barrier material; and forming a selected length of the strip of paper into the bag. The paper bag has at least a front side and a back side each having at least one longitudinal portion extending the length of the bag. The longitudinal portion has a width less than the width of the front and back sides.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1987Date of Patent: January 17, 1989Assignee: Bagcraft Corporation of AmericaInventor: Ronald Marsik

Patent number: 4690667Abstract: A method for producing a packaging container having a pressure relief valve that is tightly secured to the inside of the packaging container and closes off an opening in the wall of the packaging container. To seal off the pressure relief valve, a fluid sealant is introduced into the valve, after the valve has been secured to the packaging container. To this end, an opening is punched by a hollow needle into the wall of the packaging container in the area coinciding with the pressure relief valve, and through the hollow needle a droplet of sealant is deposited in the peripheral zone of a membrane of the pressure relief valve. By capillary action, the sealant enters into the gap between a carrier part and the membrane of the valve and becomes distributed over this area.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 1986Date of Patent: September 1, 1987Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Klaus Domke

Patent number: 4667453Abstract: Containers formed of a flexible sheet of material capable of being sealed for closing off the interior of the container from the ambient atmosphere. The sheet material is resistant to tearing and includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The container comprises a mouth portion including a peel strip or layer fixedly secured to the inner surface of the material and extending substantially the entire length of the mouth portion, with adjacent portions of the peel strip or layer being in releasable engagement with each other. Some containers are formed in accordance with the method for applying the peel strips transversely across a web of sheet material and heat sealing the strips to the material at longitudinally spaced locations and thereafter severing the web into sections which are formed into the container. Other containers are formed by use of a peel layer on the entire inner surface of the container.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1986Date of Patent: May 26, 1987Assignee: Fres-co System USA, Inc.Inventor: Luigi Goglio

Patent number: 4577889Abstract: A bag book (2) is provided by a plurality of bags (4) bound together at binding (8) along an edge (20) to provide a book. Each bag forms a page of the book and provides a pocket (14) in the interior of the bag. The bags are folded upwardly to define one or more upwarding facing edges (24, 40) prior to binding, to form auxiliary pockets (26, 52) for additional retention of items.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1984Date of Patent: March 25, 1986Inventor: Judith D. Schulz

Patent number: 4545781Abstract: A combination of a self-opening shopping bag and a coupon packet is disclosed together with apparatus and a method for making same. A flat coupon packet containing coupons is affixed to the front panel of the bag. The coupon packet is sized and positioned widthwise between the side gussets of the bag and spaced apart from the bottom of the bag so that, when the bag is folded flat, only the front and rear panels of the bag underlie the packet. The coupon-applying apparatus is designed and positioned to apply coupons at the beginning of the bag-making procedure. It includes a glue applicator mounted adjacent the former of the bag-making machine for applying a strip of glue to a side of the continuous sheet opposite the forming means, the strip extending lengthwise of the sheet in a predetermined lateral position. A packet feeder is mounted on the former just downstream of the glue applicator for feeding coupon packets lengthwise of the paper flat onto the continuous sheet upon the strip of glue.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1984Date of Patent: October 8, 1985Assignee: Willamette Industries, Inc.Inventors: Charles L. Carl, Ronald S. Gale, William J. Forstrom

Patent number: 4537586Abstract: A combination of a self-opening shopping bag and a coupon strip is disclosed together with apparatus and a method for making same. An elongated coupon strip containing coupons is affixed inside the front panel of the bag. The coupon packet is sized and positioned widthwise between the side gussets of the bag. The strip has a perforated margin portion and only the margin is adhered to the bag so that the coupons can be readily detached. The coupon-applying apparatus includes a coupon strip roll stand positioned in line with the bag paper roll stand. A glue applicator is mounted on the coupon strip roll stand for applying glue to the margin of the strip. The coupon strip meets the underside of the bag paper as the paper travels around an outfeed roller of the bag paper roll stand. The coupon roll stand includes a brake for tensioning the strip. Spacers are mounted on the former and spaced apart for the coupon strip to pass between them.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 1984Date of Patent: August 27, 1985Assignee: Willamette Industries, Inc.Inventors: Ronald S. Gale, William E. Bristol, Carroll Noonan

Patent number: RE32018Abstract: Method of manufacturing a filled packaging container comprising the steps of forming a bag on a mandrel, connecting a seam provided in a formed bag, forming a hole on an upper side of the bag and inserting a valve into the hole to provide an air pressure release after filling the container with a material. Two opposite edges of the valve are formed with two flexible portions made of foil. A sealing fluid is applied in the channel to provide a fluid film to connect the foil portions.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1982Date of Patent: November 5, 1985Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Klaus Domke, Walter Saur
