| 20120080133 | Heat-Seal System and Method - A heat-seal device generally includes a heat source, a thermal conductor, which encapsulates at least a portion of the heat source and is capable of transferring heat from the heat source, and a thermal insulator, which substantially surrounds the thermal conductor but leaves a portion thereof exposed, the exposed portion of the thermal conductor providing a heat-seal contact surface, which is adapted to be brought into contact with a material to be sealed. | 04-05-2012 |
| 20110295409 | Machine for Producing Packaging Cushioning - A machine for producing packaging cushioning generally includes a first feed mechanism for successively feeding sheets of a substrate at a first speed, the first feed mechanism including a motor and a power supply therefor, a second feed mechanism for receiving the sheets from the first feed mechanism and feeding the sheets at a second speed, a control unit for controlling at least one of the first and second speeds to produce a desired degree of overlap between successive sheets, and a sensor to measure the amount of electricity drawn by the motor. The control unit modulates the amount of electricity that the motor draws from a power supply when a signal from the sensor has a value that is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110192121 | Inflatable Mailer, Apparatus, and Method for Making the Same - The presently disclosed subject matter relates generally to mailers for shipping objects, and more particularly to mailers comprising an outer pouch and an inner inflatable liner and an inflation pathway through which a portion of gas can be introduced into said inflatable liner. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110072765 | Apparatus for Forming Flexible Containers, Dispensing Fluid into the Containes, and Enclosing the Fluid Within the Containers - An apparatus for forming flexible containers from a film web, dispensing fluid into the containers, and enclosing the fluid within the containers. The film web comprises a pair of juxtaposed film plies, a closed longitudinal edge at which the plies are joined, and an open longitudinal edge at which the plies are not joined. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110068154 | Inflatable Mailer, Apparatus, and Method for Making the Same - The presently disclosed subject matter relates generally to an apparatus for forming and/or sealing an inflatable mailer. Particularly, the disclosed apparatus comprises an inflation assembly that comprises upper and lower support arms and at least one inflation nozzle. In addition, the disclosed apparatus comprises a sealing assembly comprising upper and lower support arms, upper and lower heat seal jaws, two solenoids, and at least one heat seal element. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20100251665 | MACHINE FOR INFLATING AND SEALING AN INFLATABLE STRUCTURE - A machine for inflating and sealing an inflatable structure having a longitudinal edge generally comprises a drive, an inflation nozzle, a sealing device, and a sheet engagement device. The machine may define an engaging assembly and an opposing assembly. The drive may be rotationally coupled to the sheet engagement device such that when the drive rotates, the engagement device also rotates. The engagement device may include a first belt and an opposing second belt which may each have a plurality of teeth thereon. The teeth may intermesh between a drive roller and a backing roller on the longitudinal edge of the inflatable structure. Thereby, the sheets of the inflatable structure may be engaged together and the length of the longitudinal edge may contract to facilitate inflation. The resulting inflated inflatable structure may comprise an embossed longitudinal edge. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100054636 | Metering pouch for dispensing flowable product - The presently disclosed subject matter is a novel adaptation of a pouch that enables the measurement and dispensing of unit doses of flowable products. Particularly, the disclosed pouch utilizes the addition of a separate section of film that separates the pouch into a main reservoir and a dispensing reservoir. The use of the dividing film allows the structural integrity of the pouch to remain intact. The dividing film also comprises an opening that allows communication between the two reservoirs to achieve dispensing of the flowable product. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100038380 | Dispenser and self-piercing lid for dispensing pumpable products - The presently disclosed subject matter comprises a pouch to house a pumpable product, a pouch fitment sealed within or outside the pouch, and a rigid dispenser for containing the pouch and fitment. In some embodiments, the system can further comprise a pump operatively connected to the rigid dispenser to dispense the pouch contents. The rigid dispenser is advantageously configured with a raised segment to support, center, and elevate the fitment sealed within said pouch. | 02-18-2010 |
