Abstract

A reclosable bag (20) has a body with opposite faces (30, 44) having side edges (40, 42) and defining an interior (48). The bag also has a reclosable hook-and-loop fastener strip (12) secured to one of the bag faces. The fastener strip may form a reclosable face closure for accessing the bag interior through a face of the bag. In some cases the closure strip (12) extends around one or more of the edges (40, 42) of the bag to form a pour spout side opening (26) or to define a hinge as in a flip top box.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS [received by the International Bureau on 27 March 2002 (27.03.02); original claims 1-28 replaced by amended claims 1-18 (2 pages)]
1. A bag (20) having a body with opposite faces (30,44) having side edges (40,42) and defining an interior (48), the bag comprising a reclosable fastener strip (12) secured to one of the bag faces and extending around one of the edges (40) of the bag to form a reclosable bag closure, openable as a pour spout at a side edge of the bag for accessing the bag interior (48).
2. The bag of claim 1 wherein the fastener strip (12) is secured to an inside surface (34) of the bag.
3. The bag of claim 2 wherein the bag body has a frangible tear line (14) for accessing the fastener strip (12),
4. The bag of any of the above claims wherein the fastener strip (12) includes a loop component (16) with a band of hook-engageable loops (32), and a mating hook component (18) with a band of hooks (36).
5. The bag of claim 4 wherein the hooks (36) are integrally molded along an edge of the hook component (18).
6. The bag of any of the above claims wherein the fastener strip (12) comprises two mating components (16,18), both secured to an inside surface of a face (30) of the bag.
7. The bag of any of the above claims wherein the bag body comprises film, and wherein the fastener strip (12) is welded to the film.
8. The bag of any of the above claims wherein the fastener strip ( 12) extends across an entire front face (30) of the bag and around opposite edges (40,42) of the bag.
9. The bag of any of claims 1 through 7 wherein the closure (12) extends from a front face (30) of the bag around one side edge (40) of the bag to a back face (44) of the bag to form a pour spout for pouring bag contents from a bag opening (26) at the edge (40) of the bag.
10. The bag of any of the above claims wherein ends of the closure (12) are loose from each other.
11. A method of making a reclosable bag (20) having a body with opposite faces (30,44) having side edges (40,42) and defining an interior (48), the method comprising foπning the bag on a bag making machine from a roll (28) of film (24) having pre-applied closure strips (12) arranged so as to extend around one of the edges (40) of the bag to form a reclosable bag closure, openable as a pour spoαt at a side edge of the bag for accessing the bag interior (48).
12. The method of claim 11 wherein the fastener strip (12) is secured to an inside surface (34) of the bag.
13. The method of claim 12 wherein the bag body has a frangible tear line (14) for accessing the fastener strip (12).
14. The method of any of the above method claims wherein the fastener strip (12) includes a loop component (16) with a band of hook-engageable loops (32), and a mating hook component (18) with a band of hooks (36).
15. The method of claim 14 wherein the hooks (36) are integrally molded along an edge of the hook component (18).
1 . The method of any of the above method claims wherein the fastener strip (12) comprises two mating components (16,18), botii secured to an inside surface of a face (30) of the bag.
17. The method of any of the abo e method claims wherein the bag body comprises film, and wherein the fastener strip (12) is welded to the film.
