Abstract
Abstract A bag is formed of transparent polymeric material comprising a pair of side walls and a transverse weld forming a receptacle, and is characterized by a paper panel on the inner surface of one side wall, and a closure means comprising a plurality of strips of adhesive material, any one of which can join the other side wall to the paper panel in such a way that breaching of the adhesive material is evident by delaminating or tearing the panel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
A security bag having multiple sequential closure means defining tamper indicating means, said bag comprising: a pair of opposed panels of polymeric transparent material joined along contiguous side edges defining opposed side walls thereby forming a receptacle opening having an opening at one end thereof; a paper panel attached to the inner surface of one of said side walls adjacent the opening of said receptacle; a plurality of spaced parallel adhesive closure strips extending transversely across and secured to the inner surface of the other of said side wall and overlying said paper panel, said paper panel adapted to receive indicia at the locality of each of said closure strips; and a plurality of non-adhesive strips, each protectively overlying a respective one of said adhesive strips and inhibiting adhesion thereof to said paper panel until torn away from the respective adhesive strip, whereupon the adhesive strips are adhesively secured to said paper panel, said paper panel defining a destructible closure and tamper indicating means whereby a portion of said paper panel containing said indicia associated with the respective one of said adhesive strips delaminates.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
184 words
A security bag having multiple sequential closure means defining tamper indicating means, said bag comprising: a pair of opposed panels of polymeric transparent material joined along contiguous side edges defining opposed side walls thereby forming a receptacle opening having an opening at one end thereof; a paper panel attached to the inner surface of one of said side walls adjacent the opening of said receptacle; a plurality of spaced parallel adhesive closure strips extending transversely across and secured to the inner surface of the other of said side wall and overlying said paper panel, said paper panel adapted to receive indicia at the locality of each of said closure strips; and a plurality of non-adhesive strips, each protectively overlying a respective one of said adhesive strips and inhibiting adhesion thereof to said paper panel until torn away from the respective adhesive strip, whereupon the adhesive strips are adhesively secured to said paper panel, said paper panel defining a destructible closure and tamper indicating means whereby a portion of said paper panel containing said indicia associated with the respective one of said adhesive strips delaminates.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A bag according to claim 1 wherein said side walls are joined by a transversely extending seam weld between the side walls spaced longitudinally of the adhesive closure strips, and defining therewith said receptacle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
A bag according to claim 1 wherein said side walls are joined by a transverse seam weld which lies intermediate the ends of the bag and thereby forms a pocket opening to the other end of the bag, and a further adhesive closure strip at said other end closes said pocket when said strip adheres to both said side walls.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A bag according to claim 3 wherein all said adhesive closure strips are substantially identical.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
A bag according to claim 1 wherein said paper panel is colour responsive to at least one solvent.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
245 words
A security bag having multiple sequential closure means defining tamper indicating means, said bag comprising: a pair of opposed panels of polymeric transparent material joined along contiguous side edges defining opposed side walls thereby forming a receptacle opening having an opening at one end thereof; a paper panel attached to the inner surface of one of said side walls adjacent the opening of said receptacle; a plurality of spaced parallel adhesive closure strips extending transversely across and secured to the inner surface of the other of said side wall and overlying said paper panel, said paper panel adapted to receive indicia at the locality of each of said closure strips; a plurality of non-adhesive strips, each protectively overlying a respective one of said adhesive strips and inhibiting adhesion thereof to said paper panel until torn away from the respective adhesive strip, whereupon the adhesive strips are adhesively secured to said paper panel, said paper panel defining a destructible closure and tamper indicating means whereby a portion of said paper panel containing said indicia associated with the respective one of said adhesive strips delaminates; a transverse seam weld joining said side walls intermediate the ends of the bag and thereby forms a pocket opening to the other end of the bag, and a further adhesive closure strip at said other end for closing said pocket when said strip adheres to both said side walls; and a code label for at least partially positioning in said pocket.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
245 words
A security bag having multiple sequential closure means defining tamper indicating means, said bag comprising: a pair of opposed panels of polymeric transparent material joined along contiguous side edges defining opposed side walls thereby forming a receptacle opening having an opening at one end thereof; a paper panel attached to the inner surface of one of said side walls adjacent the opening of said receptacle; a plurality of spaced parallel adhesive closure strips extending transversely across and secured to the inner surface of the other of said side wall and overlying said paper panel, said paper panel adapted to receive indicia at the locality of each of said closure strips; a plurality of non-adhesive strips, each protectively overlying a respective one of said adhesive strips and inhibiting adhesion thereof to said paper panel until torn away from the respective adhesive strip, whereupon the adhesive strips are adhesively secured to said paper panel, said paper panel defining a destructible closure and tamper indicating means whereby a portion of said paper panel containing said indicia associated with the respective one of said adhesive strips delaminates; a transverse seam weld joining said side walls intermediate the ends of the bag and thereby forms a pocket opening to the other end of the bag, and a further adhesive closure strip at said other end for closing said pocket when said strip adheres to both said side walls; and a code label for at least partially positioning in said pocket.
