Closure arrangement with tear guide for allowing access to zipper flanges in a package

a technology of zipper flanges and closure arrangements, which is applied in the direction of flexible container closures, snap fasteners, buckles, etc., can solve the problems of undesired tampering with the contents of packages, the inability of consumers to open seals that inhibit tampering, and the insufficient amount of existing tear guides and closure arrangements, so as to facilitate the opening of bags

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present inventor describes an improved way for people who want their bags opened more easily when they don't have enough space inside them. This can help with keeping things organized better during long periods without getting cluttered together like it could happen if there were no room within which to put anything around these bags.

Problems solved by technology

Technically speaking, there exist technical requirements related to improving the security fidelity (sealing) of plastic containers used for storing items under specific conditions during transportation. One aspect being addressed involves ensuring consumers have only enough contact when accessing their stored content without compromising any safety concerns. Another concern relates to maintaining freshness if these storage devices cannot easily be accessed again once they were closed due to potential damage caused through vaporization or moisture evaporation. There is thus a demand for improved ways to ensure securely closing packages before purchasing new ones.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a cross-sectional view of a partial closure arrangement 10 for a polymeric reclosable bag is shown. The closure arrangement 10 comprises a first header 12 having an inner layer 16, and a second header 14 having an inner layer 18. Both the first header 12 and the second header 14 also include outer sealant layers 20, 21. The closure arrangement 10 is preferably disposed at the mouth of a reclosable bag and extends along the length of the bag mouth (not shown).

[0020]As shown in FIG. 3, a first film 22 is preferably attached (e.g heat-fused) to the first header 12, and a second film 24 is attached to the second header 14. The films 22, 24 will preferably have a peelable seal 26 disposed between them as a feature of the overall closure arrangement 10. The peel seal is preferably located between the interlocking profiles 28, 30 and the bag 25 and its contents 27. In another embodiment, the peel seal 26 is located between the interlocking profiles 28, 3

Abstract

A closure arrangement for a reclosable polymeric bag is disclosed, the closure arrangement comprising convex and concave areas that facilitate opening the bag. To initially open the bag, first and second films are separated from each other by tearing perforations. Next, interlocked closure profiles are detached from each other by grabbing onto gripper ridges and pulling the opening of the bag apart. If the first or second film becomes tucked into the groove left by the perforations such that the gripper ridges are difficult to access even after tearing the perforations, then the end of the opening may be flexed up or down, thereby causing separation of the convex area and concave area to provide access to the gripper ridges.
