Definitions
- the present invention relates to a resealable container, and in particular, a new and improved resealable container having a recloseable sealing cover which can be withdrawn from one of the sides of the container to gain access to its interior.
- Reclosable seals have been used for dispensing bags for wet tissues or disposable cleaning wipes.
- the label on these bags can be pulled back, thereby exposing an opening, allowing access to the wet tissues or wipes inside.
- these dispensing bags are completely flexible, formed exclusively of a plastic or other suitable flexible material which closely surrounds the pack of wet tissues or wipes. Examples of these dispensing bags include U.S. Patent Nos. 4,840,270 and 6,026,953 , U.S. Design Patent No. D 447,054 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2002/0182359 .
- such known dispensing bags are not well suited for containing food products as these containers fail to provide adequate protection for storing food products.
- the disclosed resealable container is adapted for use with food products and includes a tray-type frame which defines a polygonal shape and a wrapper which surrounds the frame and has a top opening.
- a sealable sealing layer is adhesively sealed to the top.
- An additional package used to dispense wet tissues of disposable wipes is a container full of wet tissues marketed under the trade name HUGGIES SUPREMETM.
- This package includes a rigid tray with hinged rigid lid.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,026,953 An additional recent resealable dispenser-container is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,026,953 in which a resealable dispenser-container is designed for containing wet tissues.
- the container is made of a flexible sheet material having a top surface opening for dispensing wet tissues.
- a reinforcing sheet larger than the dispenser opening is attached to the top surface of the container.
- a resealable flap provides for opening and closing of access to the wet tissues disposed inside the container.
- the purpose of the present invention is to provide new and improved containers for food products such as cookies and the like and which the container provides adequate protection for the contents thereof, while concurrently facilitating opening of the container wrapper and reseating the container to protect the contents thereof until the contents are fully consumed.
- An additional purpose of the present Invention is to provide a container which can be manufactured using methods other than those used in prior food containers having resealable openings.
- a further purpose of the present invention is to use alternative materials for a container for food products.
- the present invention comprises a food container comprising: a frame defining the shape of the container; the frame having a bottom, sides and an open top, the frame containing a food product comprised of food items such as cookies and the like, a wrapper surrounding said frame, said wrapper forming respective top, side, and bottom faces of the container; said top and one of said side faces having an access opening such that the access opening spans two adjacent faces of the container, the access opening being sufficiently large and configured to provide access to substantially all of the food items contained within the frame while the frame is surrounded by the wrapper, such that substantially any one of the food items can be accessed and be removed through the access opening; and a sealing layer having a starter portion which can be grasped by a user, said sealing layer adhesively sealed to said top face and said one of said side faces around said access opening, said sealing layer being releasable when said starter portion is pulled in a direction away from said one of said side faces to thereby release at least a portion of said sealing layer to provide said access
- a food container having a frame defining the shape of the container where the container has a top, bottom and sides connected at the top and bottom.
- the frame contains a food product.
- a wrapper surrounds the frame and forms the top, sides and bottom of the container.
- the top and one side has an access opening sufficiently large to provide access to substantially all the food product contained within the frame.
- a sealing layer includes a starter portion which can be grasped by a user.
- the sealing layer is adhesively sealed to the top and the one side around the opening.
- the sealing layer is resealable when the starter portion is pulled in a direction away from the side to which the sealing layer is sealed to in turn pull and thereby release at least a portion of the sealing layer to provide access to the top access opening.
- the sealing layer is resealable against the top and side to seal the opening when the sealing layer is laid back against the top and the side.
- the top of the wrapper includes a flap which has substantially the same dimensions as that of the opening and is permanently affixed to the sealing layer
- the starter portion includes a tab which projects past an edge of the side of the container to which the starter portion is sealed and is accessible beyond the seal to be grasped by a user, when the starter portion is located at the crimp sealed end of the wrapper.
- the frame comprises a tray which comprises two compartments, each compartment accessible through the access opening.

- Figure 13 is a perspective view of the container of Figure 12 in a partially opened configuration.
- Figure 14 is a perspective view of a food projector
- Figure 15 is a perspective view of another food protector.
- Figure 16 is a perspective view of a further example; i.e. another resealable food container in a closed configuration.
- Figure 17 is a perspective view of the container of Figure 16 in a partially opened configuration.
- Figure 18 is a perspective view of a further example; i.e. another resealable container in a closed configuration.
- resealable container 10 includes wrapper 11 which forms top 12. Bottom 13, opposing sides 14a and 14b and opposing ends 15a and 15b.
- the top 12 and side 14a have a die-cut-out forming flap 16 as indicated by broken line 19.
- the flap 16 when pulled back from container 10, forms opening 18.
- the wrapper 11 extends past the end of top 12 and bottom 13 at ends 15a and 15b, where the wrapper 11 is crimped together to form crimp seals 21a, 21b.
- a sealing cover or layer is formed from a sealing label 20 which is affixed to the flap 16.
- the sealing label 20 is permanently affixed to the flap 16 using an appropriate adhesive.
- the sealing label 20 covers a substantial portion of the top 12 extending from the proximity of side 14a to the proximity of the side 14b and from the proximity of end 15a to the proximity of end 15b.
- a portion of the sealing label 20 extends over top surface edge 17 and extends along side 14a.
- the surface area of sealing label 20 is advantageously proportional to the size of opening 18. For example, if the sealing label 20 is too large, the covering could get caught or overlap corners 23a, 23b of the package 10, or it could get caught up in the crimp seals 21 a, 21b, both potentially hindering functionality of sealing label 20.
- the surface area of the sealing label 20 should be approximately 1.5 to 2 times and more preferably around 1.8 times the size of opening 18.
- the size of opening 18 be proportional to the size of the package 10 and the food items contained therein so that, when the container is still full of food product, the consumer will have easy access to at essentially all of the food product inside the package, for example, not requiring one to reach deep inside the container 10 under top 12 to gain access to a food item contained therein. Of course as the container is emptied, the consumer can gain easy access to the remaining food product.
- sealing label 20 may be formed on the sealing label 20 which align with corresponding graphics on top 12 when the sealing label 20 is sealed or in a flap position on top 12 and side 14a.
- sealing label 20 may be transparent, allowing graphics of top 12, side 14a and flap 16 to be visible through the sealing label 20.
- a starter portion, for example tab 22 extends from sealing label end 24.
- tab 22 can be grasped by ones fingers and thumb such that the tab 22 is easily accessible for one to pull. Further, the tab 22 allows a user to reseal the package.
- the size and shape of tab 22 are optimized for functionality.
- tab 22 has a surface area of 1% to 6% that of the total surface area of the sealing label 20.
- Adhesive 26 is applied to the surface of sealing label 20 which is in contact with top 12 and side 14a which includes the perimeter around flap 16.
- adhesive 26 provides a removable seal between a sealing label 20 and top 12 and side 14a.
- Adhesive 26 is not applied to tab portion 22.
- the sealing label 20 is made of a suitable material which provides for a desired moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR).
- MVTR moisture vapor transmission rate
- the MVTR of sealing label 20 limits the amount of moisture transmission between the interior of container 10 and the outside environment, thus maintaining the freshness of the food product contained therein.
- One preferable material for the sealing label 20 is 2 mil biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) material with a 0.15 g/in 2 /day MVTR.
- Preferable materials for the combination of the sealing label 20 and flap 16 have a maximum MVTR of 0.01 g/in 2 /day.
- Container 10 is transformed from a closed configuration depicted in Figure 1 to a partially open configuration depicted in Figure 2 by grasping the tab 22 between ones fingers and thumb and pulling back on the sealing label 20 to gain access to opening 18. Once container 10 is opened, one can remove individual food product 28 such as cookies or other discrete food item contained inside the container 10 through opening 18.
- Wrapper 11 surrounds a frame 30 which forms a tray for receiving the food contents.
- the frame 30 is comprised of a rigid material which forms that shape of the container 10. Suitable rigid materials include plastics and cardboard.
- Frame 30 includes ends 31a and 31 b.
- a divider 32 divides the frame 30 into a first section 34 and a second section 36.
- Frame 30 can be any polygonal shape such as the rectangular shape depicted in Figure 3 . Accordingly, the rectangularly shaped frame 30 forms a rectangularly shaped container 10. Alternately, different polygonal shaped frames will form containers having the corresponding polygonal shape.
- frames other than frame 30, which has a single divider 32 extending longitudinally along the length of the frame 30, can be used to form resealable containers.
- frame 40 includes a plurality of dividers 42 extending longitudinally along the frame 40.
- frame 50 includes a plurality of dividers 52 which extend transversely across the width of the frame 50.
- Figure 6 depicts a frame 60 which does not include a divider or ends.
- Figure 7 depicts a frame 70 which does not include a divider or a bottom, having merely ends 71a and 71 b and opposing sides 72a, 72b.
- various frames may include ends such as frames 30, 40, and 50 which have ends 31a, 31b, 41a, 41b, 51a, 51b; or the frame may be opened at the ends such as frame 60 with open ends 61a, 61 b.
- Figures 8 and 9 depict container 110. Like elements in container 110 are numbered similarly to those of container 10 but raised by 100.
- Container 110 includes wrapper 111 formed around a rigid frame such as one of the frames 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 discussed herein.
- a continuous parallel die-cut 119 is formed in the wrapper 111 along a portion of top 112 which extends past edge 117, along end 115a and terminates at a package crimp seal 121a of wrapper 111, so that the die-cut 119 forms flap 116.
- Top 112 is not die-cut along end 115b thus forming a hinged end in the proximity of end 115b.
- a sealing label 120 is affixed to flap 116 along top 112 and end 115a.
- a starter portion in the form of tab 122 extends from the end of crimp seal 121a.
- access into opening 118 is provided by a user grasping tab 122 between ones finger and thumb and pulling back on tab 122 to withdraw sealing label 120 with flap 116 permanently affixed thereto thereby exposing opening 118.
- one is able to gain access to food product 128.
- container 110 One advantage of container 110 is that the parallel cuts forming opening 118 allow for the access opening 118 to be formed without need for a registration system to cut an opening in the wrapper 111 as the die-cut 119 feature can be formed in a continuous fashion.
- Container 210 includes a pair of openings 218a, 218b in top 212.
- a pair of parallel die-cuts 219a, 219b form flaps 216a, 216b which are affixed to sealing labels 220a, 220b, respectively.
- each sealing label 220a, 220b provides access to the food contents contained within a tray which defines the shape of container 210 and contains the food product.
- the tray may include two compartments, each one located under one of the openings 218a, 218b. Access to food product contained in the tray is provided through the corresponding opening.
- container 310 includes a side opening 318 formed in side 314a.
- the opening 318 is sufficiently large to allow one to withdraw food product contained therein.
- the food product may be contained in any appropriate food protector which includes any of the frames or trays 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70.
- the food protector may be a slug 80 surrounding a food product as shown in Figure 14 or a core buff 90 depicted in Figure 15 which provides rigidity to the container 310 and provides protection to a food product wrapped therein.
- Slugs 80 can be formed from a plastic or wax paper or other suitable material.
- Core buff 90 can be formed from a corrugated cardboard paper or other suitable wrap material.
- individual trays containing a single row of food product like tray 60 which may or may not be closed at ends 61a, 61b, may be disposed in container 310. The individual trays can be individually withdrawn thereby removing a single row of food product from container 310 through opening 318.
- the sealing label 320 can be peelable from side 314a from both the left side as shown in Figures 12 and 13 as well as from the right side, in a manner similar to sealing label 220 of container 210, thus allowing one to access opening 318 from either the left side or right side of the container.
- Figures 16 and 17 depict container 410 which comprises a wrapper 411 which surrounds a rigid frame that provides the polygonal shape of container 410.
- a rigid lid 423 includes hinges 425 which pivotally attach lid 423 to rigid collar 426 which in turn is attached to top 412.
- Lid 423 includes lip 427 and raised portion 428 defining a groove 429, therebetween.
- lid 423 interlockingly engages with collar 426 by having collar 426 engage with and be disposed in groove 429.
- Access to food product contained in container 410 is provided by one pulling up on tab 430 and pulling back on lid 423 so that lid 423 pivots along hinges 425.
- Figure 18 depicts container 510 which is formed by wrapper 511 composed of a flexible material similar to that of wrapper 11.
- the polygonal shape of container 510 is provided by a rigid material incorporated into wrapper 511 on the perimeter edges of each face of the container such as perimeter 517.
- a strip of rigid plastic material may be formed on each face of container 510 such as the perimeter of each face to provide a desired rigidity to container 610. Access into container 510 is similar to that of container 310.
