Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a resealable closure for packages storing articles and, more particularly, packages with resealable closures having a package integrity indicator.
  • Some containers for food products typically include an outer wrapper.
  • the wrapper surrounds a frame which acts as a tray to hold the food product and to protect the food product from damage.
  • Other food products come packaged in plastic trays, such as thermoform trays, which are sealed on the top using some type of lidding material.
  • One recent advancement in the art of food container closures includes a resealable closure disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,918,532 (hereinafter “the '532 patent”), herein incorporated by reference, which discloses a wrapper which forms a top of the container, which top has an access opening covered by a resealable sealing panel.
  • the '751 application discloses a resealable closure having a package integrity indicator provided by a structure which breaks and/or produces an audible sound when the resealable closure is opened for a first time.
  • the package integrity feature includes at least one strip initially affixed to two portions which comprise the resealable closure so that upon opening the resealable closure for a first time, at least one of the strips breaks, thereby indicating that the package has previously been opened.
  • Package integrity is also provided by a movable panel or removable die-cut tab portions which are misaligned upon resealing of the closure, thus indicating that the package has previously been opened.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,589,622 discloses a tamper-evident feature in the form of a label flap having a series of perforations which form a tamper indicating tab, such that when the label flap is initially removed from the package, the tamper indicating tab separates from the label flap along the perforations to indicate that the package has been opened.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,589,622 discloses a tamper-evident feature in the form of a label flap having a series of perforations which form a tamper indicating tab, such that when the label flap is initially removed from the package, the tamper indicating tab separates from the label flap along the perforations to indicate that the package has been opened.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,679,693 discloses a main pull tab adhesively sealed to a top surface of a package with an auxiliary pull tab which is completely removed from the main tab prior to opening the container.
  • the present invention generally relates to a resealable closure for a container in which package integrity is indicated by a structure which has to be broken prior to gaining access to the contents in the container. Accordingly, an intact structure indicates package integrity, thereby providing an indication that the package has not previously been opened.
  • the present package integrity feature can be used by itself to indicate package integrity or it can complement the package integrity features disclosed in the '751 application.
  • the present new package integrity feature further ensures that the closure cannot be even initially partially opened for a first time without the present integrity feature having first been broken, and thus visible by observing the exterior of the container.
  • the present invention in one form, relates to a package integrity feature comprising a closure, covering an opening into a container, and at least one structure associated with the closure, connecting the closure to a remaining portion of the container.
  • the structure stretches, increasing a length of the structure until the structure eventually breaks, leaving one or both residual ends of the broken structure rippled or curved upward from the remaining portion of the container.
  • the structure may comprise a strip extending from a tab portion of the closure to the remaining portion of the container.
  • the structure is integrally formed with the closure and the remaining portion of the container, and the closure is in the form of a sealing panel, wherein the sealing panel is releasable from the remaining portion of the container by pulling back in a peeling direction, thereby stretching the structure associated with the sealing panel and eventually breaking the structure to gain access to the contents inside.
  • the sealing panel is reclosable against the remaining portion of the container to seal the opening when the sealing panel is moved back against the remaining portion of the container.
  • the present invention in another form thereof, relates to a package integrity feature comprising at least one structure associated with the sealing panel of a resealable closure of a container.
  • the structure is integrally formed with the sealing panel on one end and a remainder of the container on the other end.
  • the structure is constructed to break its connection between the sealing panel and the remainder of the container when the sealing panel is pulled back from the remainder of the container for a first time, thereby leaving the sealing panel free of its attachment to the container through the structure.
  • the breakable structure comprises a curved strip, such as a strip in the shape of an arc or a wavy shape having a concave segment and a convex segment, a structure having one or more narrowing segments followed with one or more broader or wider segments, whereby the structure stretches along the narrow portion and eventually breaks.
  • the present invention in another form thereof, relates to an integrity indicating closure for a container, the closure comprising an at least two-ply material comprising an inner layer adhesively joined to an outer layer and forming a top of the container.
  • the inner layer has an inner layer panel and the outer layer has a sealing panel.
  • the sealing panel completely covers the inner layer panel.
  • At least one strip is integrally formed from the material which comprises the outer layer and connects the sealing panel to a remaining portion of the outer layer.
  • the inner layer panel and the sealing panel are permanently joined to each other to provide an access opening into the container.
  • Releasable adhesive is provided around a perimeter of the sealing panel for adhering the sealing panel to the inner panel.
  • the sealing panel is releasable from the inner layer by pulling back the sealing panel in a peeling direction and resealable against the top to seal the opening when the sealing panel is moved back against the top.
  • one or both residual ends of the broken structure are rippled or curved upward from the top of the container.
  • the present invention in one form, relates to a package integrity feature comprising a structure associated with an end portion of a resealable closure of a container.
  • the structure is breakably attached to the end portion on one end of the structure and permanently attached to a remainder of the container at a second end of the structure, wherein the breakable structure is constructed such that it can be grasped from below with one's fingers and broken to thereby break its connection between the tab portion and the remainder of the container, thereby leaving the end portion free of its attachment to the container through the structure.
  • the structure comprises a strip extending between a tab portion of the closure, which comprises the end portion of the closure, and an adjacent portion of the container, and the strip includes a weakened portion.
  • the structure is preferably raised from a top surface of the container which allows one to easily grasp the breakable structure from below with one's fingers.
  • the present invention in yet another form thereof, relates to a package integrity indicating feature comprising a film layer forming a top of the container and having a flap defining an access opening to gain access to the contents of the container.
  • a sealing panel completely covers the flap of the film layer.
  • the sealing layer comprises a pull tab with a strip which is permanently affixed to the top.
  • the pull tab and the strip define a gap between the top of the container and the pull tab and strip.
  • a releasable adhesive is provided on either or both the sealing panel or the film layer adhering the sealing panel to the film layer.
  • the sealing panel is releasable from the film layer, after the strip joining the sealing panel to a portion of the top has been broken, by pulling the sealing panel back in a peeling direction and is reclosable against the top to seal the access opening when the sealing panel is moved back against the top.
  • the present invention in another form thereof, concerns a package integrity indicating feature comprising a structure associated with an end portion of a resealable closure of a container. Both the end portion and the structure are non-adhered to an adjacent top surface of the container.
  • the structure is breakably attached to the end portion and permanently attached to a remainder of the container, wherein the structure must be separated between the end portion of the resealable closure and the remainder of the container in order to open the resealable closure.
  • the present invention in another form thereof, relates to a package integrity indicating feature comprising an at least two-ply material comprising a first film layer adhesively joined to a second film layer.
  • a first tear line is formed in the first film layer defining a first layer panel for providing an access opening through the first film layer when separated from the first film layer along the first tear line.
  • the second film layer has a second layer tear line defining a sealing panel having one end terminating at a breakable structure. The sealing panel completely covers the first layer panel.
  • the second film layer includes a releasable adhesive layer for releasably adhering the sealing panel to the first film layer, wherein the second film layer can be pulled back and separated from the first film layer to expose the access opening and gain access to the contents therein only after the breakable structure is broken.
  • Food items disposed in the container may include, but are not limited to, cookies, crackers, peanuts, cheese, sliced meats and semi-solid foods.

  • the inner film layer 12 is die cut on its side via tear line 20 , which includes all of the dashed lines in FIG. 1 .
  • the outer film layer 13 is die cut on its side via a second layer tear line 21 .
  • the creation of tear lines 20 , 21 are disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 2005/0276525, herein incorporated by reference.
  • Tear line 20 is formed as a continuous tear line to define inner panel 22 . Tear line 20 also defines strip 52 . Tear line 21 defines sealing panel 26 of the outer film layer 13 and package integrity structure 40 .
  • package 10 includes a pair of package integrity structures 40 , one on opposite sides of pull tab 30 . It is preferable to have an even number of structures 40 with an equal number on opposite sides of the sealing panel 26 . Although the figures show two structures 40 , any even number is preferable when opening closure 11 for a first time, as described below.
  • the sealing panel 26 extends beyond the periphery of the tear line 20 so that the sealing panel 26 completely covers and extends beyond the perimeter of the inner panel 22 and strip 52 . As a result, the sealing panel 26 completely covers the inner panel 22 and strip 52 .
  • the package integrity structure 40 of the present invention comprises a curved elongated portion extending from a remaining portion of the sealing panel 26 at 40 a and terminates at a structure end 40 e in the shape of parallel “U's,” defined by die cut 21 , which helps ensure that the outer film layer 13 will not tear proximate the end 40 e and ensures end 40 e will remain permanently and integrally part of the outer film layer 13 when a user opens package 10 , closure 11 for a first time.
  • Structure 40 is integrally formed with the sealing panel 26 and a remainder of the outer film layer 13 , due to die cut 21 forming structure 40 from the outer film layer 13 .
  • the outer film layer 13 is adhesively joined to the inner film layer 12 .
  • the inner panel 22 can be separated from the remainder of the inner film layer 12 to expose opening 24 , whereby access to the contents 58 of the package 10 may be gained.
  • structures 40 will initially stretch due to the elasticity of the material which comprises the outer film layer 13 .
  • structures 40 stretch their length will increase and their width will narrow.
  • the structures 40 will be stretched beyond their limits and snap or break, forming complementary broken ends 40 c and define the resulting broken structures portions 40 b , 40 d .
  • Due to the material of outer film layer 13 the resulting structures 40 b , 40 d will have a random or variable shape and form.
  • the structure 40 can break at any portion along the length of structure 40 ; however, typically, structure 40 will break somewhere near the middle between the sealing panel 26 and the remaining portion of the top 14 , i.e. between end 40 a and end 40 e . Regardless of where along the length of structure 40 the break occurs, the resulting portions 40 b , 40 d will be rippled and/or curved upward from the remainder of the package 10 ( FIG. 2 ).
  • a benefit of having an equal number of structures 40 on either side of tab 30 ensures that an even, approximately balanced force can be applied to sealing panel 26 when pulling back sealing panel 26 for a first time to break structures 40 . If there were an unequal number of structures 40 on either side of tab 30 , more force would have to be applied to the side having more structures 40 .
  • strip 52 will break, as shown in FIG. 2 .
  • Strip 52 is integrally formed and remains attached to the remaining portion of the inner film layer 12 which comprises the top 14 at strip portions 50 a , respectively.
  • An end portion 52 d remains integrally attached to the first panel 22 and end portion 52 b remains integrally attached to the inner film layer 12 .
  • Strip 52 has a weakened portion defined by a narrowing of the width of the strip at portion 52 c .
  • the die cut of tear line 20 forms the strip end 52 e in the shape of parallel “U's” which help ensure that strip 52 will not tear at end 52 e and will remain integrally joined to the inner panel 22 and allow the strip 52 to break at the weakened narrow strip portion 52 .
  • the side of the sealing panel 26 which faces the inner film layer 12 is coated with a resealable adhesive 28 (see FIG. 2 ), so that the sealing panel 26 may be resealably secured to the inner film layer 12 at the portion adjacent the inner panel 22 .
  • the sealing panel 26 includes the tab 30 or other pullable feature which is not coated with adhesive 28 so that the sealing panel 26 may be peeled back from the inner film layer 12 to open the package 10 .
  • releasable adhesive can be coated on the inner film layer 12 along the outside perimeter of the inner panel 22 .
  • the releasable adhesive can be any pressure sensitive adhesive which allows resealing and includes, but is not limited to, the adhesives disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,350,688, herein incorporated by reference.
  • package 10 is opened by first grasping the tab 30 which allows one to pull the sealing panel 26 back for a first time, resulting in structures 40 and 52 stretching. Structure ends 40 a and strip portion 52 a remain integrally attached to the remaining portion of the outer film layer 13 and inner film layer 12 , respectively ( FIG. 2 ).
  • Package integrity is indicated by closure 11 through several features incorporated into the closure 11 . Initially, package integrity is indicated visually by observing intact package integrity structures 40 , as noted. If the closure 11 has been previously opened, structures 40 will no longer be intact and no longer adhere to the top surface of the package 10 . In fact, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 , once closure 11 has been opened for a first time, structure 40 will be broken, resulting in structure portions 40 b , 40 d which are rippled, curved and raised from a top surface of the package 10 .
  • package integrity is indicated by observing intact integrally joined strip 52 , which advantageously breaks upon opening the closure 11 a sufficient amount prior to allowing one to remove the contents therein.
  • package integrity is indicated by an audible sound produced when structures 40 and strip 52 break upon opening the package for a first time.
  • the sealing panel 26 does not generally return to its exact position but, instead, is slightly misaligned relative to its original position, package integrity is indicated by misalignment of the sealing panel 26 with the remaining portion of the outer film layer 13 of top 14 ( FIG. 4 ).

  • Package 310 is designed to accommodate a single row of food items, such as cookies 358 .
  • structures 340 will break, separating the sealing panel 326 from the remaining portion of the outer film layer 313 , thereby allowing one to pull back sealing panel 326 from the top of the package 310 .
  • Package integrity is indicated by broken structures 340 , as well as by observing the status of strip 352 .
  • Package 410 has a package integrity structure 440 in the shape of a wavy strip, rather than the curved strip 40 of package 10 .
  • the wavy shape of structure 440 has a concave segment 440 b and a convex segment 440 d .
  • Package 410 indicates package integrity in a similar manner to that of package 10 , in that in an initial condition, prior to the sealing panel 426 being peeled back for a first time, package integrity is indicated by observing intact structures 440 .
  • structures 440 Upon withdrawing sealing panel 426 for a first time, structures 440 will initially stretch and increase in length, and eventually break, resulting in broken ends 440 c and segments 440 b and 440 c being rippled, curved and/or raised from a top surface of the remaining portion of the top 414 of package 410 ( FIGS. 8 and 10 ). Likewise, as with package 10 , withdrawing sealing panel 426 for a first time, first stretches and then eventually breaks strip 452 .
