Abstract

Abstract A hang-up container made from thermoplastic synthetic material has a bag or sack body attached to a separable fastener comprising extruded pressure- slide- or push-fastener strips one of which has an upwardly extending reinforced carrying portion which may be provided with a reinforcing bead therealong at juncture with its closure portion and which has attached thereto an upwardly extending hook/handle. Bag type containers as thus described are especially adapted to be produced in an automatic production machine wherein body film material and the fastener strips are brought together and integrally welded, the prefabricated hook/handles are welded onto the carrying portions, the bags are successively separated along tear seals, and the separated bags carried away from the machine. The hook/handle part may be provided with a handhole and an upwardly projecting hanger hook, or with a handhole into which a hanger bar entry slot extends at one side with a central hanger bar recess notch opening downwardly in the handle into the handhole.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 173 words
A closeable hang-up container including a separable extruded two strip fastener secured to thermoplastic film bag sidewall panels, each fastener strip having separable fastener means to engage closingly with the other, one of the fastener strips including an attachment web secured to one of the bag wall panels and having a carrying web area extending in the opposite direction from juncture of the attachment web and fastener strip, with a one piece handle part welded onto the carrying web area: said handle part having a horizontally elongated handhole with an overlying hand grip portion provided with a central hanger-bar-receiving hook notch opening downwardly into the handhole; an entry slot extending from the top of said grip portion to the bottom of said grip portion and generally aligned with the notch opening; said hand grip portion having grip sections thereof at each side of said notch and said carrying web area having an extruded reinforcement bead rib integral therewith and extending therealong throughout its width adjacently above said juncture and below said handle part.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 173 words
A closeable hang-up container including a separable extruded two strip fastener secured to thermoplastic film bag sidewall panels, each fastener strip having separable fastener means to engage closingly with the other, one of the fastener strips including an attachment web secured to one of the bag wall panels and having a carrying web area extending in the opposite direction from juncture of the attachment web and fastener strip, with a one piece handle part welded onto the carrying web area: said handle part having a horizontally elongated handhole with an overlying hand grip portion provided with a central hanger-bar-receiving hook notch opening downwardly into the handhole; an entry slot extending from the top of said grip portion to the bottom of said grip portion and generally aligned with the notch opening; said hand grip portion having grip sections thereof at each side of said notch and said carrying web area having an extruded reinforcement bead rib integral therewith and extending therealong throughout its width adjacently above said juncture and below said handle part.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 47 words
A hang-up container according to claim 1, wherein said handle part is substantially narrower than said carrying web area and centrally located thereon and projecting thereabove, and said carrying web area is stiffened by said rib to resist sagging at the opposite sides of said handle part.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 108 words
A closeable hang-up container including a separable extruded two strip fastener secured to thermoplastic film bag sidewall panels, each fastener strip having separable fastener means to engage closingly with the other, one of the fastener strips including an attachment web secured to one of the bag wall panels and having a carrying web area extending in the opposite direction from juncture of the attachment web and fastener strip, with a one piece handle part welded onto the carrying web area, and comprising: an extruded reinforcement bead rib integral with said carrying web area and extending therealong throughout its width adjacently above said juncture and below said handle part.
