Definitions
- U.S. Patents 4,736,496, 5,138,750, 5,140,727, 5,403,094, and 5,405,478, as well as EP 510,797 disclose closure devices that allegedly provide a factually or audibly perceptive indication of proper interlocking of the closure elements. It is said that, upon occlusion of the disclosed closure devices, a user is able to feel or hear that full closure is accomplished.
- U.S. Patent 4,736,946 discloses the use of additional ribs on either side of the closure elements. These ribs are said to give an improved "feel" to the closure, thus aiding a user in aligning the closure elements.
- Fig. 12 is a side or top view showing the uneven surface with protrusions shaped as semi-circles.
- Fig. 21 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along line 21-21 in Fig. 2 showing an occluded rolling-action interlocking closure device.
- the surface 729 on the first closure portion has an uneven surface 771 and the engaging finger 710 engages the surface 771.
- the surface 845 on the second closure portion may have an uneven surface and the engaging finger 810 engages the uneven surface on surface 845.
- the engaging finger 710 may contact one or more surfaces.
- the engaging finger 710 may be used with other engaging fingers on the same uneven surface.
- the engaging finger 710 and its corresponding uneven surface may be used in combination with other engaging fingers 776, 778 on other uneven surfaces as shown in Figs. 9 and 10.
- the engaging finger 710 may also be the separator finger or may operate independently of the separator finger.
