Food bag structure having pressurized compartments

Claim 2

A food bag structure for enclosing a predetermined frangible food, comprising: a single sheet of a predetermined flexible material folded to form two sections, one section positioned over the other and defining outer periphery edges; means sealing said two sections together around said outer periphery edges; means sealing said two sections together along a line spaced a predetermined distance from one edge of said outer periphery edges and extending a predetermined distance to define a first compartment for enclosing food and a second, elongated stiffening compartment; and said second, elongated stiffening compartment containing a preselected gas under a predetermined pressure; so that said first compartment is defined between said sections for enclosing a preselected frangible food, and said elongated stiffening compartment containing said gas under pressure maintains said food compartment in a predetermined position.

Claim 3

A food bag structure as defined by claim 1 including means sealing said two sections together along a second line spaced a predetermined distance from a second edge of said periphery to define a second elongated stiffening compartment.

Claim 4

A food bag structure as defined by claim 2 including means sealing said two sections together along a line from said first mentioned elongated stiffening compartment to said second elongated stiffening compartment to form two food compartments.

Claim 5

A food bag structure as defined by claim 3 wherein each of said means sealing said two sections together is formed to permit cutting for separting a food compartment from said food bag structure while maintaining a seal on the other of said two food compartments.

Claim 6

A food bag structure as defined by claim 4 wherein said predetermined flexible material is an opaque plastic.

Claim 7

a food bag structure as defined by claim 5 wherein said food compartments are pressurized with a predetermined gas.

Claim 8

A food bag structure as defined by claim 6 wherein said elongated stiffening compartments are pressurized with air.

Claim 9

A food bag structure as defined by claim 1 wherein each of said means sealing said two sections together is sufficiently wide to permit a cut to separate said compartments while maintaining said first and second compartments sealed.

Claim 10

A food bag structure as defined by claim 1 wherein said predetermined flexible material is an opaque plastic having at least a portion clear to permit the contents of said food compartment of be viewed.

Claim 11

A food bag structure as defined by claim 1 wherein said predetermined flexible material is clear plastic.

Claim 12

A food bag structure as defined by claim 1 wherein said predetermined flexible material is an opaque plastic with a window portion of clear material to permit a food in said food compartment to be viewed.

Claim 13

A food bag structure for enclosing a predetermined frangible food, comprising: two sheets of a flexible material with predetermined length and width, said length being longer than said width, one sheet positioned over the other and defining outer periphery edges; means sealing said two sheets together long said outer periphery edges; means sealing said two sheets together along a line spaced a predetermined distance from a preselected edge of said outer periphery edges, and extending substantially said length of said sheets to define a first, larger food compartment and a second, smaller elongated stiffening compartment; and said elongated stiffening compartment containing a preselected gas under pressure to provide a predetermined stiffness to said food compartment; so that a stiffened food compartment is formed to enclose a preselected frangible food, and said elongated stiffening compartment containing said gas maintains said food compartment in a predetermined position.

Claim 14

A food bag structure for enclosing a predetermined frangible food, comprising: two sheets of a flexible material with predetermined length and width, said length being longer than said width, one sheet positioned over the other and defining outer periphery edges; means sealing said two sheets together long said outer periphery edges; means sealing said two sheets together along a line spaced a predetermined distance from a preselected edge of said outer periphery edges, and extending substantially said length of said sheets to define a first, larger food compartment and a second, smaller elongated stiffening compartment; and said elongated stiffening compartment containing a preselected gas under pressure to provide a predetermined stiffness to said food compartment; so that a stiffened food compartment is formed to enclose a preselected frangible food, and said elongated stiffening compartment containing said gas maintains said food compartment in a predetermined position.
