Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a reclosable package comprises a front wall, a rear wall, and an upper closure. At the upper closure, at least a portion of a surface of the rear wall is sealed to an exterior surface of the front wall at a first adhesion strength. According to embodiments, the application of a force greater than the first adhesion strength to the rear wall in a direction away from the front wall is operable to separate the portion of a surface of the rear wall from the exterior surface of the front wall. After, the return of the portion of the surface of the rear wall and an application of a force on the rear wall in the direction of the front wall is operable to reseal the portion of the interior surface of the rear wall to the exterior surface of the front wall.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to reclosable packages comprising a front wall, a rear wall, and a closure region proximate to an outer edge of the container opposite a bottom of the container. The closure region includes a plurality of seal regions forming a continuous seal between the front wall and the rear wall across a width of the package and at least one of the seal regions is nonlinear. The closure region further includes at least one unsealed region defined between the seal regions. In some reclosable packages, the application of an opening force proximate to the closure region is operable to break the continuous seal between the front wall and the rear wall across a width of the package. The seal geometry may be tuned to adjust the magnitude of opening force required.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a an internal surface generator (300) comprising an inlet sub-element (302) comprising a plurality of inlet ports (302A-302D); an outlet sub-element (306) comprising outlet ports (306A-306D) that are equal in number to the inlet ports; and an intermediate sub-element (304) comprising non-linear passages (304A-304D) that are equal in number to the inlet ports or the outlet ports; where the intermediate sub-element contacts the inlet sub-element and the outlet sub-element and is operative to transport a fluid from the inlet ports to the outlet ports.
