Definitions

  • This invention relates to a security transparent bag according to the preamble of claim 1, and more particularly a transparent bag that can be adopted while passing through security checkpoints at airports or in other restricted areas.
  • the bag has certain security features that may result interesting for the Transportation Security Administration and other Agencies in the United States or around the world. At the same time, other portions of the bag may be adopted for advertising, loyalty programs, lotteries and other commercial activities.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a transparent travel bag which, although being univocally associated to a particular passenger or flight, can be reused, or recycled, and associated to another passenger or flight, thus reducing costs and environmental impact.
  • the storage compartment comprises a mouth 5 which comprises a resealable fastener, preferably of the kind having reciprocally facing profiles adapted to resealably interlock to each other.
  • the resealable fastener is a zip-lock fastener 5a which may be optionally provided with a slider 5b and stoppers 5d.
  • the zip-lock fastener 5a can be independently manufactured and easily joined to the bag during manufacturing thereof by a welding operation along a line 5c.
  • the inner side 3b of the no-volume-for-storage appendix 3 comprises data or indicia.
  • indicia can be also or alternatively applied to the outer side 3a of the appendix.
  • data 301 represents the name of the Airline Company on which the security bag will be boarded and data 302 is a sponsor: therefore, data provides a first immediate highly visible indication to the security personnel and at the same time is an advertising tool for the Airline Company 301 and for the sponsor 302.
  • a univocal code 303 is provided, e.g. in the form of a bar code, which is specifically assigned to a passenger, without having the passenger's name to appear on side 3a or 3b.
  • the two layers composing the appendix 33 may be both non-transparent, or both transparent with an opaque cardboard or sheet therebetween, or of different materials, and may comprise indicia applied on their surface.
  • the edge region 67 of the appendix 63 overlaps the joining edge 64 of the storage compartment 62 so that the first welding line 67a (or the folding line) is either substantially superimposed to a boundary line 164a between the joining edge 64 of the storage compartment and one of the transparent walls 62a forming such joining edge 64 ( Figure 20 ), or substantially at a free border 164b of the joining edge of the storage compartment 62 ( Figures 21a-21b ).
  • Tape 240 may be particularly useful for those embodiments in which the storage compartment is reusable for a plurality of passengers or owners. Thanks to such tape 240, an opaque appendix can be readily joined to a storage compartment such as storage compartment 62, after the latter has been cleaned or sterilized. Once the security bag has been used and disposed by passenger, it can be collected by, e.g., the airline company that provided it to the passenger, the opaque appendix can be easily removed and disposed together with the three-stripe tape 240, and the storage compartment can be cleaned and/or sterilized for a future use. In this case, in order to obtain a reusable storage container, the storage container should be sturdy enough and, accordingly, the panels constituting it should be preferably thick, e.g. about 0.5mm thick.
  • attachment means may consist of a fully transparent adhesive tape 97, having an adhesive surface 97a and being attached, on the opposite face, to a border 93a of an opaque no-volume-for-storage appendix 93 at a middle region of the tape, as shown in Figures 29a-29b , preferably through a sealing operation.
  • the appendix when the appendix is made of cardboard or an equivalent material, the appendix may comprise a plurality of pre-fracture lines arranged so as to define closed areas on which respective indicia of the kind just listed above can be applied, for obtaining coupons, which can be removed from the appendix independently of one another.
  • the microchip 69a or 69b preferably comprises an RFID antenna and rewritable memory means storing one or more of the following information: tracking information, bag information, personal information of the owner of the bag, encrypted information, security information, weight information, promotional codes, loyalty bonuses, lottery numbers. Such information may be automatically read by an RFID reader, in order to determine the owner of the bag, or his/her flight, and promptly board the bag to the owner's flight or post the bag or an appropriate notice to the owner's home address.
  • the RFID reader may even read a plurality of microchips 69a-69b at the same time, for accelerating the sorting of security transparent bags.
  • encrypting information stored in the microchip 69a-69b allows only authorized companies, such as airline companies, to rewrite the data stored in the memory means of the microchip 69a-69b, for instance when the storage compartment is to be reused by a plurality of passengers.
