Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S.
provisional patent application 60/910,860 filed Apr. 10, 2007.Application 60/910,860 is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. - This disclosure relates to a bag or pouch arrangement. In particular, this disclosure relates to an arrangement from which a flowable material can be readily distributed by a user. The disclosure also concerns methods for making and using such arrangements.
- A wide variety of items include materials which, in use, are dispersed or spread over an area. Many of these items are flowable material, such as dry powder or particulate materials including grass seed, plant nutrients, salt pellets, insect dust, and chalk.
- In use, such materials are generally dispersed over some materials. For those materials that dispersed over the ground or plants, sometimes mechanical spreading equipment is used. While the equipment can be effective, it is often large, bulky, and is generally only desirable if a relatively large amount of material is to be spread over a relatively large area.
- In many instances, mechanical spreading equipment is not appropriate. In addition, mechanical spreading equipment may need to be thoroughly cleaned between uses, which can be inconvenient. In some instances, spreading has involved either hand spreading or spreading with a hand tool. This can be inconvenient and messy.
- The assignee has developed a pouch arrangement and methods to address these problems, described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,126,318; 5,882,120; 5,709,479; and 6,375,037, each of these patents being incorporated herein by reference. This disclosure concerns improvements over the pouch arrangement and methods described in the aforementioned patents.
- A pouch arrangement is provided. The pouch arrangement includes first and second opposed panel sections, with each of the panel sections having a first end edge, a second end edge, and opposite side edge portions extending between the first and second end edges. The first and second panel sections are secured to one another along at least a portion of the panel section side edge portions to define a pouch construction interior and opposite side edges. A base gusset member having a distribution aperture arrangement extends between the first and second panel sections adjacent to the second end edges across an end of the pouch construction interior. A removable cover member is oriented on the base gusset member to cover the distribution apertures. At least one handle aperture extends through the first and second panel sections at a location oriented adjacent to the first end edges. A zipper closure is secured to the first and second panel sections adjacent to the second end edges and is selectively closable and openable to permit selective exposure of the base gusset member.
- In another aspect, a method of making a pouch arrangement includes providing first and second opposed panel sections, with each of the panel sections having a first end edge, a second end edge, and opposite side edge portions extending between the first and second end edges. The first and second panel sections are secured to one another along at least a portion of the panel section side edge portions to define a pouch construction interior and opposite side edges. A base gusset member is secured between the first and second panel sections adjacent to the first and second end edges across an end of the pouch construction interior. The base gusset member has a distribution aperture arrangement and a removable cover member oriented to cover the distribution apertures. The zipper closure is adjacent to the second end edges and is selectively closable and openable to permit selective exposure of the base gusset member. At least one handle aperture is punched through the first and second panel sections at a location oriented adjacent to the first end edges.
- A method of filling a pouch arrangement includes providing a pouch arrangement having first and second ends and an interior; a base gusset member having a distribution aperture arrangement which is covered with a removable cover, the base gusset member being adjacent to the second end and providing a closed second end; and an unengaged zipper closure secured to the pouch arrangement adjacent to the second end. At least one handle aperture extends through the pouch arrangement adjacent to the first end. The method includes at least partially filling the pouch arrangement interior with a flowable material through an opening at the first end, and after at least partially filling the pouch arrangement interior, closing the first end by providing a closure across the pouch arrangement and between the handle aperture and the base gusset member.
- In another aspect, a method of using a pouch includes providing a pouch having a first and second opposed panel sections defining an interior, a first end, and a second end; at least one handle aperture is adjacent to the first end defined by the first and second panel sections; a seal is between the first and second panel sections and is between the handle aperture and the second end; a stand-up gusset is adjacent to the second end and extends between the first and second panel sections; the stand-up gusset has a distribution aperture arrangement which is covered with a removable cover member; an unengaged zipper closure is secured to the first and second panel sections adjacent to the second end; and a flowable material is in the interior. The method includes removing the cover member to expose the distribution aperture arrangement, and then distributing at least a portion of the flowable material through the distribution aperture arrangement.
- The disclosure includes within its scope; empty pouch arrangements with an opening at the first end to be filled with material; pouch arrangements with material filled and stored; pouch arrangements with a seal adjacent to the first end; methods of distributing material utilizing such pouch arrangements; methods of preparing and making such pouch arrangements; and methods of displaying such pouch arrangements in a stand-up configuration.
