Definitions

  • FIGURE 1 is a sectional view showing a flexible reclosable container having flexible closure elements formed integrally therewith and mounted on the container walls according to the features of this invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a partial view similar to that shown in FIGURE 1 illustrating an alternate embodiment of the features of this invention and in particular showing a different mounting of the interlockable rib and groove elements deployed thereon, and
  • FIGURE 3 is a sectional view similar to that shown in FIGURE 2 illustrating a further embodiment of the flexible closure elements of this invention.
  • This invention is concerned generally with the manner of mounting interlocking rib and groove elements on the flexible walls of a reclosable container for the purpose of discriminating between internally and externally applied opening forces.
  • the. point of attachment ofthe interlocking elements to the container walls aflects the force required to unlock the cooperably engaged surfaces.
  • Change in the point of attachment of the groove element changes the point of application of the opening force as applied through the interengageable surfaces. It is Well understood that the point of application of a force to an interlocking rib and groove element structure is critical in determining Whether the structure will be urged into a more firm engagement or will be properly stressed to produce disengagement.
  • Interlocking rib and groove ele- 'ments can sustain relatively high forces without opening when those forces are applied to all but a relatively specific direction. Taking advantage of this fact, this invention has adjusted the point of application of forces originating at the inner and outer container walls to increase the resistance to opening, inwardly of the closure elements and to decrease the resistance to opening, outwardly of those elements.
  • FIGURE 1 there is shown generally a flexible reclosable container 10 employing interlocking rib and groove elements according to the specifications of this invention.
  • the container 10 has first and second wall portions 11 and 12 which extend between a closed end 13 and the flexible closure elements.
  • the flexible closure elements as mounted at the walls 11 and 12 comprise generally a rib element 14 and a groove element 15.
  • the rib element 14 consists of a base 16 attached to the wall portion 11 at a point 17.
  • the base 16 becomes an elongated shaft 18 which in turn extends to an arrowhead shaped connector 19.
  • the connector 19 has outermost engaging surfaces 20 and 21, and inwardly facing engaging surfaces 22 and 23.
  • the surfaces 20through 23 are then cooperable with interengaging surfaces provided by the groove element 15.
  • the groove element 15 has a base 24 which is secured to the inner surface of the wall portion 12 as at the point 25.
  • the base 25 is provided with outwardly curved arm portions 26 and 27 which extend from the wall portion 12 to the vicinity of the opposing wall portion 11.
  • the arms 26 and 27 terminate in hook members 28 and 29 disposed intermediate the arrowhead shaped connector 19 and the wall portion 11.
  • FIGURE 1 The principal locking function of the elements shown in FIGURE 1 is accomplished between inwardly directed engaging surfaces 30 and 31 of the hook members 28 and 29 and the mating surfaces 22 and 23 of the arrowhead shaped connector 19. It may be noted that while the surfaces 20 and 21 of the arrowhead shaped connector 19 do not perform a locking function, they are utilized in conjunction with the inner surface 32 of the groove element 15 to provide a tight closure for the contents of the flexible container :10.
  • the flexible container 10 is provided with external flanges 33 and 34 formed outwardly of the rib and groove elements 14 and 15 respectively as extensions of the wall portions 11 and 12.
  • FIGURE 1 a centerline 35 is shown as extending from the wall portion 11 through the arrowhead shaped connector 19 to the wall portion 12. It may also be noted that the arrowhead shaped connector 19 is substantially symmetrical about the centerline 35 and that no variations have been developed in the connector 19 to produce the opening characteristics of this invention. However, while the arrowhead shaped connector 19 is formed similarly both inwardly and outwardly of the centerline 35, the groove element 15 is misaligned relative to that centerline.
  • the base 24 of the groove element 15 is displaced outwardly of the centerline 35 so as to have a point 36 spaced substtntially further from the line 35 than an opposing point 3 Considering FIGURE 1 in greater detail, it can be seen that the displacement of the base 24 of the groove element :15 relative to'the centerline 35 directly affects the connection to the hook members 28 and 29 which provide the principal locking function for the flexible container 10.
  • the displacement of the base 24 tends to elongate the outwardly curved arm 27 and to shorten the outwardly curved arm 26 of the groove element 15. This elongation tends to disassociate the action of the inner flange 12 relative to the hook member 29.
  • the force applied to the groove element by an outward flexing of the wall 12 is initiated at the point 37 which is a point outwardly of the engaging surfaces 23 and 31. Forces applied at this point tend to resist opening and urge the engagement surfaces into a firmer contact.
  • the outward flexing of the flange 34 applies a force to the groove element 15 at a point 36 which has been reorientated to a more outwardly position relative to the engaging surfaces 22 and 30. It is apparent, therefore, that a smaller force applied to the point 36 will produce disengagement of the hook member 28 than a force applied at the point 37 will produce disengagement of the hook member 29 as the force applied at the point 36 ends to peel the hook member 28 away from the rib member by exerting a pull from the side.
  • FIGURE 2 A further embodiment of this invention is shown in FIGURE 2 and involves similarly shaped rib and groove elements formed integrally with wall portions 11 and 12. It may be noted that reference numerals have been car- 4 ried from FIGURE 1 to FIGURE 2 and subsequent FIG- URE 3 to identify similar features and configurations.
  • FIGURE 2 The distinguishing feature present tin FIGURE 2 involves the mounting of the groove element 15 at the inner surface of the wall portion 12.
  • the centerline 35 is shown, as in FIGURE 1, to pass from the wall portion 11 through the center of the arrowhead shaped connector 19 to the opposing wall portion 12.
  • the base 24 of the groove element 25 is displaced entirely outwardly of the centerline 35.
  • the external flange 34 is attached to the base 24 at a point 39 which is substantially removed outwardly of the centerline 35. It is apparent from FIGURE 2 that the force applied to the outwardly curved arm 26 via movement or flexing of the external flange 34 is transmitted to the hook member 28 in a direction for disengaging or peeling away that member from the inner surface 22 of the arrowhead shaped connector 19. The orientation shown in FIGURE 2 then provides a substantial differentiation between the effectiveness of a force applied inwardly at the wall portion 12 and a similar force applied outwardly at the external flange 34.
  • FIGURE 3 A further embodiment of this invention is shown in FIGURE 3 and, as in the case of FIGURE 2, constitutes similarly orientated and shaped rib and groove elements formed integrally with the walls 11 and 12 of the flexible container 10.
  • the mounting of the base 24 of the groove element 15 at the inner surface of the wall 12 is substantially symmetrical relative to the centerline 35. Therefore, the novel features of this structure do not affect the force applied to the wall 12.
  • the relative effectivness of a force applied to the external flange 34 as compared to the external flange 12 is altered via the addition of a wedge 40 of flexible material applied between the inner surface of the external flange 34 and the lower surface 41 of the outwardly extending arm 26.
  • the wedge 40 may be formed integrally with the groove element 15 and the external flange 34 and provides a direct connection from that flange to the upper portions of the outwardly extending arm 26, namely to the hook member 28. It is apparent, therefore, that a force applied to the flange 34 will be correctly orientated for disengaging or peeling the hook member 28 relative to the inner surface 22 of the arrowhead shaped connector 19. In this way, the force for opening the rib and groove elements due to a spreading of the flanges 33 and 34 is comparatively reduced relative to the force for opening due to a similar spreading of the inner walls 11 and 12.
