Definitions

  • This invention relates generally, as indicated, to a food bag release valve and, more particularly, to a valve for selectively releasing unwanted gas from a food bag.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Food bags are commonly used by consumers and industries to store food for later use or consumption. The elimination of air from the interior cavity of the freezer bag is known to dramatically decrease freezer burn. To this end, a food bag can include an air release valve to selectively release gas from the bag structure. As with most products, it is a commercial priority to mass-manufacture such release valves in an economic and efficient manner. Also, there are many advantages to manufacturing valves at one location and separately manufacturing bag structures at a different (and possibly distant) location. With such separate manufacturing, the valves could be shipped from the valve-manufacturing location to the bag-making location, whereat they are integrated into bag structures, either by hand or machine, in a late production stage. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a valve design which allows economic and efficient mass-manufacturing, which can maintain integrity during shipping to distant locations, and/or which can be easily integrated with bag structures during latter phases of production.
  • the present invention provides a release valve comprising a vent layer and a cover layer.
  • the vent layer is positioned over an opening in the bag structure and is made of a material (e.g., a non-woven fabric) that is pervious with respect to an expected fluid (e.g., air).
  • the cover layer is made of a material (e.g., a polymer film) that is impervious with respect to both expected gasses and expected liquids.
  • the vent layer is attached to the bag structure by an adhesive (i.e., a bag-to-vent adhesive).
  • the non-adhesive area between the vent layer and the cover layer define a passageway through which released air flows to exit the valve.
  • this area can be a baffle area which defines perpendicular passageways between the vent layer and the cover layer.
  • the bag-to-vent adhesive often occupies a region aligned with the non- adhesive area (e.g., the baffle area) between the vent layer and the cover layer.
  • the non- adhesive area e.g., the baffle area
  • adhesive could find its way into non-adhesive area, causing the cover layer to "stick to" the vent layer in this area. This sticking could constrict, or close, the passageway through which the released gas flows to exit the valve, thereby inhibiting the valve's proper operation.
  • the migration of the bag-to-vent adhesive to the non-adhesive area could occur at many times during the life of the valves. For example, this migration could start during production of the valves, as early as when the bag-to- vent adhesive is applied to the vent material. Alternatively, migration could first begin during storage or shipment of the valves, even if with valves coming off the production line migration-free.
  • the present invention provides anti-stick means for preventing the bag-to- vent adhesive from causing the cover layer to stick to the vent layer in the area and thereby block the passageway.
  • This means can comprise selecting the adhesive so that it has a high glass transition temperature (Tg), a high softening point, and a high viscosity.
  • the adhesive area can be formed from a transfer tape and/or transferred from the release liner to reduce migration. Rollers encountering the just-applied adhesive can also be cooled to promote solidification.
  • the anti-stick means can comprise barrier means (e.g., a barrier layer) for preventing migration of the adhesive through the vent layer.
  • barrier layer can be positioned on the inner surface of the vent layer or on the outer surface of the vent layer, and/or can be coextensive (or not) with the bag-to-vent adhesive area.
  • the anti-stick means can comprise a release means (e.g., a release layer) for releasing the cover layer from the vent layer should bag-to- vent adhesive migrate through vent layer.
