| 20120082404 | Ease Open Storage Bag Container - A storage bag opening device is provided to facilitate improved opening of a re-sealable storage bag. The device comprises a bag container, an edge trim, a set of ring tabs attached thereto, and a sealing means disposed on opposing inner surfaces of said edge trim. The bag container may be any resilient and reusable bag. Its upper edges are attached to or housed within the edge trim that is secured thereto. Ring tabs secured to the center of said edge trim are adapted to receive at least one of a user's fingers. To open the bag, a user pulls the ring tabs outward in opposing directions to cause separation therebetween, thereby causing the re-sealing means to disengage and open the bag. The re-sealing means may then be firmly pressed together to close the container and create an air and moisture tight seal. | 04-05-2012 |
| 20140093192 | Storage Bag With Textured Area On Lips To Facilitate Closing Process - A storage bag has first and second closure profiles that include interlocking members configured to seal an opening of the bag. A textured area is provided on the first closure profile adjacent to the interlocking member and adjacent to an end of the first closure profile. The textured area provides a visual cue to indicate that the process of sealing the interlocking members should begin at the end of the first closure profile and move towards a center of the bag. | 04-03-2014 |
| 20140093193 | Storage Bag With Colored Lips - A storage bag has a first closure profile attached to a first side surface, with the first closure profile forming a lip between an interlocking member and an edge of the first closure profile. The bag also includes a second closure profile attached to the second side surface, with the second closure profile forming a lip between an interlocking member and an edge of the second closure profile. The lips of the first and second closure profiles are visually distinct colors or different shades of a color in order to aid the user in locating the lips. | 04-03-2014 |
| 20140093194 | Storage Bag With Lips Shaped To Facilitate Unsealing Of The Bag - A storage bag is provided with lips that are shaped to facilitate unsealing of the bag.

Such features may provide visual cues, tactile feedback and/or audio feedback in order to facilitate the sealing process. | 04-03-2014 |
| 20140193102 | Easy Open Storage Bag Container - A storage bag device is provided to facilitate improved opening of a re-sealable storage bag. The device comprises a uni-body bag container having a set of ring tabs attached thereto, and a sealing means disposed on opposing inner surfaces of said bag container. The bag container may be any resilient and reusable bag with a single opening at the top, defined by the bag container's upper edges. Ring tabs extending from the center of said upper edges are designed to receive at least one of a user's fingers. To open the bag, a user pulls the ring tabs outward in opposing directions, thereby causing the sealing means to disengage and open the bag. The sealing means may then be firmly pressed together to close the container and create an air and moisture tight seal. | 07-10-2014 |
| 20160122086 | Reclosable Zipper Having Child Resistant Features - A reclosable child-resistant plastic zipper assembly of indefinite length is disclosed. The assembly has a first zipper strip and a second zipper strip, the zipper strips having complementary reclosure profiles. The zipper assembly lacks upper flanges, but instead terminates at a pair of closure tabs that meet at an opening point when the strips have been mated to provide the closure. The zipper strips each further include a texturized gripping region on the exterior surfaces to enable a user to open the zipper assembly.
