The plate has either an indicator or a unique outer edge shape that is designed to fit into a corresponding unique opening in a bag holder such as a carboy or tote to ensure proper alignment of the bag and its port(s) in the holder. In one embodiment the plate formed of plastic, metal, wood or composite material has a series of holes equal to and in alignment with the one or more ports of the bag and the port(s) are extended through the holes of the plate and the plate is attached to the bag by retainers on the port(s) below the plate. Such retainers can be plastic cable ties, wire ties, tube clamps and the like. Alternatively, the plate may be fitted over the port(s) and attached to the bag such as by thermal bonding or welding or overmolded to the bag or the bag is formed and molded to the plate. The plate may have any unique design that ensures that the alignment of the bag in the holder is correct and cannot be reversed or incorrectly aligned. Such designs use a plate that is affixed to the bag or its port(s) in such a way that it cannot be realigned or moved out of register. Such designs include but are not limited to graphic indicators and unique shapes. | 12-18-2008 |

The two side members and handle are parallel and perpendicularly aligned with the rigid frame's longitudinal member. Attached or formed on the ends of the two side members'are edge capturing structures configured to temporarily hold the rigid frame laterally from the edge of the countertop or work table. In one embodiment, the edge capturing structures are C-shaped brackets configured to slide and extend over the top and bottom surfaces of the countertop or work table. In another embodiment, the edge capturing structures are clamps with two legs that press against the top and bottom surfaces of the countertop or work station. An optional tray that fits over the top surface of the rigid frame | 01-28-2016 |
20160059998 | PACKAGE FOR PASTE-LIKE PRODUCTS - A package for paste-like products is designed as a packet of a flexible material whose body is defined by walls, a bottom portion, and a top portion. The top portion comprises a covering element, and an opening line is provided between the covering element and the rest of the body. The opening line can include incisions or perforations and a notch at the edge to ease opening the packet. Provided in the area adjacent to the opening line are strip-like forming elements made of inflexible material. The strips are nearly as long as the opening line, and thanks to their inflexibility, the mouth of the opened packet is defined by the strips and looks like a slot with at least two opposite sides parallel to each other. This structure results in obtaining a band of the paste-like product having a substantially uniform thickness when it comes out of the packet. | 03-03-2016 |
20160114938 | Yard Debris Bag Support Device - A yard debris bag support device supports a yard debris bag in an open position. The device includes a yard debris bag and a plurality of panels. Each of the panels has opposed laterals sides. The laterals sides of adjacently positioned panels are pivotally coupled together wherein the panels form a series of the panels foldable into a closed geometric shape having an open top side and an open bottom side. The panels are positionable in the yard debris bag such that the geometric shape supports the yard debris bag in an open position. | 04-28-2016 |
20160159527 | BAG OPENING APPARATUS - Opening and then retaining a bag in an open state is achieved by mounting resilient straps parallel to each other on opposite sides of the bag proximate to the bag opening. A compressive force applied to the opposite ends of the two straps will cause them to bow outwardly and thereby open the bag so that materials and items may be deposited in the bag. Removal of the compressive force allows the straps to straighten, closing the bag, so that the bag may then be sealed using any of a variety of well-known closure mechanisms. | 06-09-2016 |

20110188785 | Hold-Open Mechanism Usable With a Flexible-Walled Pouch - A pouch having a flexible wall panel at least partially defining a mouth into an interior includes a hold-open mechanism for the mouth. A locking mechanism automatically locks the hold-open mechanism in an open position. | 08-04-2011 |
20120219241 | STORAGE BAG EXPANSION INSERT - An expandable insert to be used in flexible storage bags, and particularly to expand the flexible storage bag in such a manner as to hold the mouth of the bag open as well as provide a stable base so the bag is free-standing and self supporting to provide for hands-free filling of the bag with food or other materials by a user. | 08-30-2012 |
20130287321 | Container With Flexible Walls - The subject matter of the invention is a container with flexible wails. The container includes an opening provided with means for keeping it open, said means having two flexible elongate elements connected at their ends by a first articulation and a second articulation. The first and second articulations are configured to bring the two flexible elongate elements one against the other in a first configuration and to separate the two flexible elongate elements in a second configuration. In the second configuration, the two flexible elongate elements are turned over on themselves with respect to the first configuration. The two flexible elongate elements are at least partially formed from a flexible band, and the first articulation includes a cut in a pail of the thickness of the band, said cut being oriented towards the outside of the container in the first configuration. | 10-31-2013 |
20140161372 | EXPANDABLE BAG ASSEMBLIES WITH AN INTEGRAL SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR FILLING - Expandable bag assemblies and associated methods are disclosed herein. Certain aspects of the invention are directed toward an expandable bag assembly that includes a flexible bag with closed and open ends and collapsible sidewalls disposed between the ends. The assembly beneficially includes an integrated support structure provided with stiffeners and a mechanism for attachment to help hold a mouth of the bag in an open position while filling the bag. The assembly can be compressed for easy packaging and storage and be expanded into a self-supported, open position without memory folds. The assembly is also configured to retract during closure of the open end of the bag. | 06-12-2014 |
20140314342 | HOLD-OPEN DEVICE AND PACKAGE HAVING SAME - A device for selectively retaining a package opening in a gaping configuration and a package including the device applied to a package body. The device includes a circumferential strip with side seams formed as hinges. One or more tabs extend in a first axial direction from an upper edge of the circumferential strip at the side seams. Each tab is coupled to the circumferential strip with a hinge. The tabs are pivotable about the hinges in opposite directions away from the opening axis to respective folded-out positions, which inhibits the device from folding at the side seams and retains a gaping open configuration of the device and package. | 10-23-2014 |

20160060029 | Disposable Bag and the Method of Using the Same - A bag for holding trash, diaper, and any item that needs to be contained. The bag can have an enclosure body and a mouth opening where the opening is lined with a foldable frame. The foldable frame can fold out to keep the mouth opening in an open configuration, and can collapse upon itself to keep the mouth opening in a closed configuration. The foldable frame can optionally have a locking notch, a finger, or both, all of which can be used to attach to some part of the enclosure body thereby keeping the neck of the bag twisted closed. The bag can optionally have attachment points such as apertures, sleeves, strips, and loops for securing to the locking notch. In some embodiments, the collar need not be foldable. | 03-03-2016 |
