Abstract

A dispenser adapter assembly for bags includes a bag having a line of weakness defining an opening, and a dispenser adapter mounted to the bag. The dispenser adapter is formed of a first main base portion having an opening and a second slider retention base portion having an opening, with the two base portions being folded together with the openings substantially aligned with the bag opening. In addition a slide actuator is mounted between the two portions of the base for movement between a closed position blocking the openings and an open position permitting product flow through all of the openings. Mating movable and fixed stops are also provided to limit outward movement of the slide actuator.

Claims (22)

1. A flexible bag dispenser adapter assembly comprising:
a flexible bag having a line of weakness defining a bag opening located toward one end of said flexible bag;
a dispenser base having a first main base portion with an opening and a second slide retention portion with an opening, said portions being folded together to provide aligned openings and a guide;
said base being mounted to said bag with said dispenser openings aligned with said bag opening; and a slide actuator mounted between said first and second portions of said base, said slide actuator being movable between a closed position blocking said openings, and an open position permitting product flow though said openings in said bag and said base.
2. An assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein said base and said slide actuator have interfitting stops for limiting movement of said actuator.
3. An assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein said actuator has an extended portion for gripping by the user.
4. An assembly as defined in claim 3 further comprising a box containing said bag, said box being cut away to expose said openings, and the top of said box having an opening for receiving said extended portion of said actuator, whereby the contents of said box may be accessed by raising said actuator.
5. An assembly as defined in claim 4 wherein said box has first and second sides and a top, wherein said box is cut away on one side of said box, and wherein the end of the extended portion of said actuator is secured to the top of said box adjacent the second side of said box.
6. An assembly as defined in claim 1, further including side flaps for securing said first and second portions of said base together.
7. An assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein said first portion of said base has side flaps for folding over said second portion of said base for securing said first and second portions of said base together, and adhesive on said second portion of said base and on said side flaps for mounting said dispenser adapter to said bag.
8. An assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein said dispenser base is mounted to said bag using permanent adhesive.
9. As assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein said slide actuator has first and second ends, with an actuator tab at the first end for gripping by the user, and outwardly extending stop tabs at the other end, said stop tabs engaging mating fixed stops on said base to limit movement of said actuator after said actuator reaches the open position.
10. The assembly as defined in claim 9 wherein said fixed stops constitute fold lines between said first and second portions of said base.
11. A dispenser adapter assembly for use with containers such as a flexible bag, comprising:

a dispenser base having a first portion and a second portion folded together to provide aligned openings and a guide, said dispenser base having permanent adhesive thereon for securing said dispenser base to a container; and a slide actuator mounted between said front and rear portions of said base, said slide actuator being movable between a closed position blocking said openings, and an open position permitting product flow though said openings in said adapter base.
12. An assembly as defined in claim 11 wherein said base and said actuator have interfitting stops for restraining movement of said actuator.
13. An assembly as defined in claim 11 wherein said actuator has an extended portion for gripping by the user.
14. An assembly as defined in claim 11, further including side flaps for securing said first and second portions of said base together.
15. As assembly as defined in claim 11, wherein said slide actuator has first and second ends, with an actuator tab at the first end for gripping by the user, and outwardly extending stop tabs at the other end, said stop tabs engaging mating tabs on said base to limit movement of said actuator after said actuator reaches the open position.
16. An assembly as defined in claim 11 wherein said slide actuator is initially secured to one of said base portions by breakable weakened material, whereby said slide actuator is held to said base prior to use, and is easily actuated by breaking said weakened material when the slider is shifted to the open configuration.
17. A flexible bag dispenser adapter assembly comprising:
a flexible bag having a line of weakness defining a bag opening located toward one end of said flexible bag;

a dispenser base having at least one opening, with parts of said base being folded over to provide guiding arrangements;

said base being mounted to said bag with said dispenser base opening aligned with said bag opening; and a slide actuator mounted to said base in engagement with said guiding arrangements, said slide actuator being movable between a closed position blocking said opening, and an open position permitting product flow though said openings in said bag and said base.
18. An assembly as defined in claim 17 wherein said base and said slide actuator have mating movable and fixed stops for limiting movement of said actuator.
19. An assembly as defined in claim 17 wherein said fixed stops constitu folded base material.
20. An assembly as defined in claim 17 wherein said actuator has an extended portion for gripping by the user.
21. A dispenser adapter assembly for use with containers such as a flexible bag, comprising:

a dispenser adapter base having at least one opening and having parts thereof folded over to provide guiding arrangements;

a slide actuator mounted to said base and in engagement with said guiding arrangements; said slide actuator being movable between a closed position blocking said opening, and an open position permitting product flow though said opening in said base;

said base and said slide actuator having mating stops for limiting movement of said slide actuator; and adhesive for securing said dispenser base to a container.
22. An assembly as defined in claim 20 wherein said slide actuator is initially secured to said base by breakable weakened material, whereby said slide actuator is held to said base prior to use, and is easily actuated by breaking said weakened material when the slider is shifted to the open configuration.
