Claim 10

A construction according to claim 7, wherein said folded gusset is seal formed into a generally triangular funnel pouring spout element.

Claim 11

A construction according to claim 7, wherein said extrusion comprises an originally tubular extrusion and said infolded gusset comprises about one-third of the circumferential area of the tubular extrusion before it is collapsed, said wall panels of the collapsed extrusion forming walls between which said infolded gusset.

Claim 12

A construction according to claim 7, wherein said extruded web comprises a generally flat extruded sheet and said infolded gusset is located between substantial length bag wall panel portions of the web collapsed onto the gusset.

Claim 13

A plastic extruded bag construction, comprising: a unitary one-piece plastic extrusion including a thin-wall plastic closure web area, and pull flange portions of substantial length having their lower proximal ends joined respectively to the opposite ends of said closure web area, said pull flange portions arranged to extend upwardly at respectively opposite sides of a bag mouth at the top of the bag; separable interlocking complementary fastener profiles fixed on said extrusion adjacent to proximal ends of said pull flange portions and arranged to be interlockingly separably coupled together and separated by manipulation of said pull flange portions; a bag body having side wall panels with upper end parts which are secured in laminar relation to the outer faces of said pull flange portions so that the pull flange portions and said upper end parts of the wall panels together form double thickness pull flanges for the bag wherein the closure web area provides a closure across the bag mouth and which closure must be ruptured to gain access into the bag body; said unitary one-piece plastic extrusion being of tubular form and having said fastener profiles integrally extruded in one-piece on the inside of the tubular form with said pull flange portions extending above said profiles and having their upper ends joined by a top fold; said closure web area extending downwardly from the fastener profiles and having at the lower end thereof a closed fold; and said bag body wall panels having upper ends joined in a common extruded joint with one another and overlying the joined upper ends of said pull flange portions.

Claim 14

A plastic extruded bag construction, comprising: a unitary one-piece plastic extrusion including a thin-wall plastic closure web area, and pull flange portions of substantial length having their lower proximal ends joined respectively to the opposite ends of said closure web area, said pull flange portions arranged to extend upwardly at respectively opposite sides of a bag mouth at the top of the bag; separable interlocking complementary fastener profiles fixed on said extrusion adjacent to proximal ends of said pull flange portions and arranged to be interlockingly separably coupled together and separated by manipulation of said pull flange portions; a bag body having side wall panels with upper end parts which are secured in laminar relation to the outer faces of said pull flange portions so that the pull flange portions and said upper end parts of the wall panels together form double thickness pull flanges for the bag wherein the closure web area provides a closure across the bag mouth and which closure must be ruptured to gain access into the bag body; said unitary one-piece plastic extrusion being of tubular form and having said fastener profiles integrally extruded in one-piece on the inside of the tubular form with said pull flange portions extending above said profiles and having their upper ends joined by a top fold; said closure web area extending downwardly from the fastener profiles and having at the lower end thereof a closed fold; and said bag body wall panels having upper ends joined in a common extruded joint with one another and overlying the joined upper ends of said pull flange portions.

Claim 15

A plastic extruded bag construction made from a plurality of unitary plastic extrusions, comprising: a first unitary plaastic extrusion including a thin-wall plastic closure web area, and pull flange portions of substantial length having their lower proximal ends joined respectively to the opposite ends of said closure web area, said pull flange portions arranged to extend upwardly at respectively opposite sides of a bag mouth at the top of the bag; separable interlocking complementary fastener profiles fixed on said first extrusion adjacent to proximal ends of said pull flange portions and arranged to be interlockingly separably coupled together and separated by manipulation of said pull flange portions; a second unitary plastic extrusion providing a bag body having side wall panels with upper end parts which are secured in laminar relation to the outer faces of said pull flange portions so that the pull flange portions and said upper end parts of the wall panels together form double thickness pull flanges for the bag wherein the closure web area provides a closure across the bag mouth and which closure must be ruptured to gain access into the bag body; said first unitary plastic extrusion comprising a flattened collapsed tubular extrusion having said fastener profiles extruded integrally in one piece on the inside of said extrusion; and said bag body comprising a larger tubular extrusion which envelops said first tubular extrusion.
