Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/783,141 for a FILLED AND SEALED BAG HAVING EASY POUR SPOUT AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME, filed on Mar. 16, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to the packaging for particulate material such as ready-to-eat (“RTE”) cereal. More specifically, this invention is particularly useful in the form of a bag-in-a-box with a re-closable bag.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- The use of a bag and or of a cartons with liner bag for particulate products like RTE cereal is well known. Such cartons are usually formed from a blank of paperboard or similar material comprising sidewalls with top and bottom flaps. The liner is a plastic or coated paper bag which holds the particulate product. The liner can be filled and sealed before or after being placed inside the open carton. The flaps of the carton are then folded and sealed.
- Gaining access to the contents of such cartons involves breaking the seal between the top flaps of the carton and pulling open the sealed liner bag. As will be appreciated by anyone who has opened this type of bag, they do not always open neatly and many times can tear in ways that make resealing difficult. Difficult and incomplete sealing can lead to a loss of freshness of the product. RTE cereal. For example, the particulate has a low moisture content and readily absorbs moisture from the air, leading to a loss of crispness.
- Once opened, and as the contents are depleted, the liner bag and its contents slide and shift positions in the carton which can cause the opened portion of the liner to become misaligned with the box opening thereby hindering dispensing of product from the carton. This also causes product to drop between the carton and the liner.
- In summary, the invention is an article of commerce comprising a bag containing a quantity of particulates. The bag includes a sidewall encircling a longitudinal axis and extending along the axis between a bottom closed end and a top closed end. The opposite sides of the sidewall are brought together to form the bottom closed and the top closed end. Both of the bottom and top closed ends extend acutely with respect to the axis such that the bag is parallelogram-shaped in a plane containing the axis and the bottom closed end and the top closed end.
- Advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings that set forth an exemplary embodiment wherein:
-
