  • the package advantageously includes a rectangular container made of synthetic resin material and having side Walls 22 and 24 and end walls 26 and 28 rising upwardly from a bottom 29.
  • side walls 22 and 24 have inclined lower portions 22a, 24a to provide a package which is adaptable for a sliced product such as bacon.
  • the upper ends of the walls define an open end of the container, and flanges 32, 34, 36 and 38 extend outwardly from the upper ends of walls 22, 24, 26 and 28, respectively.
  • flange 32 is advantageously wider than the other flanges for a purpose which will hereinafter become apparent.
  • a flexible cover member 40 overlies the open end of the container and is sealed to the flanges to provide a sealed package.
  • Cover member 40 is preferably, but not necessarily, of a stretchable material for a purpose hereinafter described.
  • flange 32 is adapted to be separated from the rest of the container along a preselected line while cover member 40 remains sealed to the flange 32.
  • the container is advantageously formed of a breakable material, such as polystyrene or the like, and the separation is easily accomplished by deflecting flange 32 relative to the remainder of the container.
  • the preselected line, or break line is advantageously defined by providing notches, as at 42 (see FIGS. 1 and 13), or a groove, as at 44 (see FIGS. 10 and. 11). It is contemplated that the break line may be provided by other arrangements such as score lines, perforations, or other weakened cross-sections. It is also contemplated that groove 44 need not extend entirely across the container and that it may be located at the top of flange 32 or in opposed pairs on the top and bottom of the flange, if desired.
  • flexible cover member 40 may be peeled off end flanges 36 and 38 by lifting upwardly on flange 32 as shown in FIG. 6.
  • cover member 40 is advantageously sealed to the flanges as by heat which is controlled so that there is a limited amount of fusion between the cover memher and container. In this manner the peeling may be accomplished by the cover member separating from the container at the seal line. It is also contemplated that the peeling of the cover may be accomplished by tearing or the like as along a score line adjacent the seal.
  • flexible cover member 40 is to remain sealed to flange 34 to secure the cover member to the container adjacent the side opposite flange 32. It is deemed obvious that peeling back cover member 40, as described above, provides initial access through the open end of the container.
  • first and second interfitting means are provided to hold cover member 40 overlying the open end of the container in a reclosed position.
  • One of the interfitting means is provided on flange member 32 outwardly of the break line and the other interfitting means is provided on the container inwardly of the break line.
  • the break line is at the juncture of side wall 22 and flange 32 and the inter-fitting means on flange 32 is a pair of elongate protuberances 52.
  • the protuberances are disposed generally parallel to side Wall 22 and each having a plurality of ribs 54 extending outwardly therefrom.
  • a pair of elongate slots 48 extends inwardly from side wall portion 22a to engage and retain the respective protuberance. Slots 48 are arranged crosswise of the container and generally parallel with the protuberances for this purpose.
  • the ribs 54 are arranged for a snug fit with opposite sides 48a, 48b of the respective slot 48.
  • the interfitting means on the flange has its opposite sides engaged by the interfitting means on the container and provides a snap-type retention.
  • Protuberances 52 or slots 48 can also be provided with a wavy or snake-like elongation rather than providing ribs 54. It is deemed obvious that the ribs may be provided on the sides 48a, 48b of slots 48 rather than on protuberances 52, if desired.
  • Protuberances 52 also advantageously serve to stiffen flange 32.
  • the interfitting means may be engaged after sealing and prior to severance of flange 32 from the remainder of the container to reduce the overall size of the package during shipment and display.
  • the flange 32 is foldable along the break line and, in the embodiment shown, also resiliently bends along .a line 55 located outwardly of the break line.
  • Flange 32 is advantageously formed with a slight deflection to define line 55, as seen in FIGS. 1 and 2. After severance of the flange 32 from the remainder of the container, the deflection at line 55 remains, but the bend at 55 no longer exists.
  • a tab 57 is advantageously provided at the extremity of flange 32 adjacent each protuberance 52 to provide a finger-grip means for disengaging the protuberances from slot 48 as for breaking off the flange or reopening the container afterit has been reclosed as shown in FIG. 7.
  • groove 44 is located in the central portion of flange 32 and hence the break line is located outwardly of wall 22.
  • both interfitting means are located on the flange 32 but on opposite sides of the break line.
  • a depending boss 62 extends a substantial distance along flange 32 outwardly of the break line and generally parallel thereto.
  • Boss 62 has elongate ribs 63 on opposite sides thereof.
  • An elongate opening 65 is provided through the flange 32 and cover member 40 at a location inwardly of the break line and generally parallel thereto. If desired, a female-type interfitting means can be provided rather than opening 65.
  • Opening 65 and boss 62 are both located approximately the same distance from the break line and thus opening 65 is arranged for passage of the boss 62 theret-hrough.
  • elongate ribs 63 engage the upper surface of the cover member 40 at opposite sides of opening 65 to provide another snap-type retention arrangement. This relative locations of boss 62 and opening 65 may be reversed, if desired.
  • flange 32 is foldable along groove 44 for insertion of boss 62 through opening 65 prior to shipping, for example, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9.
  • groove 44 is located generally at the junction of flange 32 and side wall 22 and hence the break line is at this location.
  • the interfitting means on flange 32 is herein illustrated as an opening 72 which conveniently extends through the cover member 40.
  • the cover member is advantageously sealed to flange 32 inwardly of opening 72.
  • the interfittin-g means on the container is in the form of a hook 74 extending from side wall 22.
  • Hook 74 has a depending end 75 arranged to engage the outer edge of opening 72 after flange 32 has been severed from the remainder of the container.
  • the depending end 75 is located a greater distance from the break line than is the outer edge of opening 72.
  • the container is advantageously made of polyvinyl chloride and the break line is defined by a plurality of spaced slits 45 extending through flange 32. Since vinyl does not break easily, the slits are closely spaced so that severing can be accomplished by a consumer.
  • the interfitting means on flange 32 is in the form of a pair of depending projections 82, each having ribs 83, 84 on opposite sides thereof. Each of a pair of upright channels extends inwardly of side wall 22 to snugly engage the respective projection 82 when it is inserted therein.
  • each upright channel 85 compressibly engages the ribs 83, 84 of each projection 82 to provide a snap-type retention of flange 32 in a position adjacent side wall 22.
  • Each upright channel 85 conveniently extends to bottom 29 and thereby provides an opening between the back wall 850 of the groove and the back side of flange 32. This provides an access of the fingers for disengaging each projection 82 from its respective channel 85.
  • Flange 32 may be folded at its junction with side wall 22 for engagement of the projections with upright channels 85 prior to shipping with the attending advantages described above. Flange 32 may be severed from the remainder of the container by flexing about the above described break line and the package opened and reclosed in the manner described above.
  • vinyl provides a particularly advantageous arrangement in keeping the reclosed cover taut.
  • Vinyl is flexible and hence the portion of flange 32 inwardly of the break line is flexible. This is particularly true when a thin flange is formed. After severing, the inward portion of flange 32 tends to assume the outwardly extending position, in which it was formed.
  • the projections 82 and channels 85 By positioning the projections 82 and channels 85 so that flange portion will be caused to deflect downwardly when they are interfitted, the resiliency of the inner flange portion will keep cover member 40 taut. Since this flange portion extends crosswise of the container, the tautness is generally uniform in this arrangement. Additionally, the cover member 40 need not be of stretchable material in such an arrangement.
  • a flexible material such as vinyl
  • the container is not limited to this embodiment, nor isthis embodiment limited to such a material.
  • depending projection 82 has no ribs. Rather, ribs 87 and 88 are advantageously provided at opposite sides of upright groove 85' to engage opposite sides of boss 82' and provide a snap-type retention of flange 32 closely adjacent side wall 22.
  • the present invention provides a reclosable package in which at least a portion of the flange 32 may be separated while the cover member 40 remains sealed thereto.
  • a groove 44, notches 42, slits 45, or similar means are provided to define a preselected line along which this severance may occur when the flange 32 is deflected relative to the remainder of the container.
  • cover member 40 may be peeled from the container to permit access through the open end thereof.
  • First and second interfitting means, or cooperating retention mean-s are provided one on either side of the break line for engaging each other to hold the cover member 40 in a reclosed position overlying the open end.
  • the interfitting means may be advantageously engaged after sealing and prior to shipping to reduce the overall size of the package and prevent accidental severance along the break line.
  • the interfitting means on the container can be on the side wall, either on a vertical or inclined portion thereof, or it can be located on flange 32 inwardly of the break line, or it can be otherwise located.
  • the retention means may be, for example, a snap-type or a hook-type.
  • the cover member 40 is held taut in its reclosed position either by being stretched somewhat or by deflection of the inner portion of flange 32.
  • the present invention may be manufactured in various ways, it may be conveniently formed, filled, and sealed by the apparatus described in Patent No. 3,000,157, issued to Ollier et al.
  • thermoplastic materials of types previously described may be utilized for the container, and cover member 40 may be of a flexible thermoplastic material of any type compatible with the container for heat sealing thereto.
  • the cover member can be formed of sheets of material, such as paper or aluminum foil, coated with a material for scaling to the container.
  • flange 32 can be top printed during the forming operation and, when folded, the printing is then disposed at another side of the package.
  • the label can be presented on two sides of the package by an operation which prints only on one side of the package.
  • the cover member 40 contains the printing.
  • a reclosable package comprising: a container having means defining an open end and an outwardly extending peripheral flange at the open end, a flexible cover member sealed to the flange and providing a sealed closure for the open end, said flange arranged for breaking ofi one portion thereof from the remainder of the container along a preselected line while the cover member remains sealed thereto, the cover member being peelable from a part of the remainder of the flange as said one flange portion is lifted, first and second interfitting means for holding the cover member in a reclosed position overlying the open end, the first interfitting means being on the one flange portion outwardly of said preselected line and the second interfitting means being on the remainder of the container inwardly of the preselected line, and the one flange portion movable downwardly after peeling of the cover member to a position adjacent the second interfitting means for engagement of the first interfitting means therewith to hold the cover in a reclosed position.
  • one of the interfitting means comprises a hook for engaging and retaining the other interfitting means.
  • a reclosable package as set forth in claim 1 including means defining a weakened portion in the flange at said preselected line, and wherein the cover member is made of stretchable material, the flange is foldable generally along said preselected line prior to breaking off of the one flange portion for engagement of the first and second interfitting means during shipping and display, and the edge of the one flange portion formed by breaking along the preselected line is spaced from the matching edge when the first and second interfitting means are engaged after said breaking whereby the cover member is stretched in its reclosed position.
  • a reclosable package comprising: a generally rectangular container having means defining an open end and an outwardly extending flange across one side of the container, means defining a line along which at least a portion of the flange may be separated from the remainder of the container, a flexible cover member overlying the open end and peripherally sealed to the container and the flange, the cover member so constructed and arranged that the flange may be separated while the cover member remains sealed thereto and a portion of the cover member may be peeled from the container to permit access to the container, and first and second interfitting means on the separable flange and container respectively for engaging each other and holding the cover member in a reclosed position overlying the open end.
  • a reclosable package as set forth in claim 10 whereing the separation line is intermediate said one, side of the container and the outer edge of the flange thereby leaving an inner flange portion at said one side of the container after separation, said inner flange portion being resiliently deflectable in a direction toward said one side of the container, and said second interfitting means being located farther from the separation line than said first interfitting means so'that the inner flange is deflected by the cover member when the interfitting means are engaged, whereby the resiliency of the inner flange portion holds the cover member taut.
  • a reclosable package comprising: a container having means defining an open end and an outwardly extending flange at the open end, a cover member overlying the open end and peripherally sealed to the container and flange, said flange arranged for separation of at least a portion thereof from the remainder of the container along a preselected line while the cover member remains sealed thereto, a hook on said remainder of the container and spaced from the preselected line, and said flange having means spaced outwardly from the preselected line for engaging the hook when the flange is moved downwardly after said separation thereby holding the cover in a reclosed position.
