20130016924 | VACUUM CLIP FOR STORAGE BAGS - A clip apparatus ( | 01-17-2013 |
20150093052 | CLOSURES FOR BLADDERS - Some disclosed bladder closures comprise a first rigid member adapted to be secured to a first side of a bladder opening and a second rigid member adapted to be secured to a second side of the bladder opening opposite from the first side. At least one fastener is included for clamping the first and second rigid members together to seal the bladder opening. The fastener is rotatably mounted in the first rigid member and comprises a latch positioned on an outer side of the first rigid member, a shaft that passes through the first rigid member, and at least one tab that engages with a portion of the second rigid member when the latch is rotated. The latch pivots at least partially around the shaft to engage with a projection of the second rigid member that extends through a hole in the first rigid member to lock the fastener in place. | 04-02-2015 |
20150344189 | CONTAINER AND CONTAINER WITH ENCLOSED CONTENTS - A container having: a bag body including an internal space to accommodate a content; an opening formed in the bag body and communicating the internal space to an outside of the container; and a fastener to open and close the opening, wherein the fastener includes a high engaging-strength portion and a low engaging-strength portion, the engaging strength of the low engaging-strength portion is less than the engaging strength of the high engaging-strength portion, the fastener includes a female track and a male track, and the low engaging-strength portion is a part of the fastener in which at least one of the female track and the male track is collapsed. | 12-03-2015 |
20160059996 | Bag Sealing Devices and Methods - A bag sealing device is designed to seal off an already-opened bag, such as a bag of chips. The device has a sheath and a rod. A slit is disposed along an axial direction of the sheath, and the rod is coupled to the sheath and disposed within it. A bag is folded over and inserted into the device such that it enters and exits the device at the slit and is wrapped around the rod. A reaction force from the rod and a reaction force from the sheath combine to cause the bag to be substantially pneumatically sealed. | 03-03-2016 |
20160068308 | HINGED CLOSURE APPARATUS - A hinged closure apparatus may comprise a first limb, a second limb, and a locking mechanism coupled with at least one of the first limb or the second limb. The first limb may have a first elongated panel with a first hinged end and a first free end opposite the first hinged end, and a first sealing member coupled with the first elongated panel and extending along a length of the first elongated panel. The second limb may have a second elongated panel with a second hinged end and a second free end opposite the second hinged end, and a second sealing member coupled with the second elongated panel and extending along a length of the second elongated panel, wherein the second hinged end may be movably coupled with the first hinged end. The locking mechanism may be adjustable to be in a locked position such that the first free end may be removably fastened with the second free end and a seal may be formed between a surface of the first sealing member and a surface of the second sealing member. The locking mechanism may be releasable into an unlocked position such that the first free end may be detached from the second free end, and a release from the locked position into the unlocked position may require simultaneously a first unlocking action and a second unlocking action. | 03-10-2016 |
383069000 | Sliding | 3 |
20120008883 | RESERVOIR CLOSURE SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system for sealably closing a reservoir is disclosed. The system can have a container and a slider. The container can have an orifice and catches and lips surrounding the orifice. The slider can be translatably attached to the container over the orifice. The slider can slidably engage the catch and lips to force the orifice closed. While attached to the catch and lips, the slider can create a pressurized seal of the orifice. | 01-12-2012 |
20120087603 | SEALING MECHANISM AND PACKING DEVICE WITH THE SAME - A sealing mechanism includes a holding member and a securing member. A positioning hole is defined in the holding member and two flanges extend from the holding member and cooperatively defining a gap for receiving a packing bag. The securing member is received in the holding member and includes a positioning post. The securing member deforms the two flanges between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the two flanges extend outside in opposite direction so that an acute angle defined between the two flanges, and the positioning post is disengaged from the positioning hole. In the second position, the two flanges are substantially parallel to each other, the positioning post is engaged in the positioning hole, and the securing member is engaged with the packing bag. | 04-12-2012 |
20140185964 | CLOSURE FOR CONTAINER, COMBINATION THEREOF, AND METHOD OF USING SAME - A closure for a container including a base having a passageway extending therethrough. At least a portion of the base is configured to attach to at least a portion of an opening of a container such that the passageway is in registry with at least a portion of the opening. A cap is movably attached to the base. The cap is movable between a first position in which at least a portion of the cap blocks at least a portion of the passageway and a second position in which the cap is spaced-apart from at least a portion of the passageway to allow contents from within the container to pass therethrough. A seal is positioned on one of the cap and the base. | 07-03-2014 |
