Flexible fluid reservoirs with closures and structural members
Disclosed fluid reservoirs include closure mechanisms for sealing an upper opening of the reservoir. The reservoir can have plates adjacent the upper opening. When the upper end of the reservoir is folded, the plates can be positioned on opposite sides, and a closure frame can be slid over the plates to pressure them together. The plates can have pins that engage with slots in the closure frame, and a separate closure lock can be slid over the end of the closure frame to prevent the pins from exiting the slots. The plates can also bias the opening open when the closure is not engaged. Also disclosed are flexible fluid reservoirs that include structural elements, such as baffles, that help retain a desired shape of the reservoir when filled or empty. Some baffles can be elastically deformable to allow flattening and expansion of the bladder while biasing toward a neutral position.
Polymeric films and bags
The present invention is directed to a method of incrementally stretching polymeric film formed from a blown film extrusion process. The present invention is further directed to a polymeric bag formed from an incrementally stretched polymeric film. The incremental stretching is performed on a collapsed polymeric bubble via a pair of intermeshing rollers. The incrementally stretched polymeric film may be stretched only along a portion of its width. The polymeric bag may be a drawstring trash bag with an extended hem where only the extended hem of the bag or the body of the bag comprises incrementally stretched polymeric film.

Collapsible container
A collapsible container made up of a bottom portion and a side wall that define an interior, wherein the bottom portion and the side wall are made of a foldable material, a top portion with an opening that allows access to the interior, and a rim member connectable to the top portion and sized and shaped to extend around the perimeter of the opening. The collapsible container is positionable in an open configuration where the rim member in connected to the top portion in a manner than maintains the opening in an open position. The collapsible container is also positionable in a collapsed configuration where at least a portion of the rim member is disconnected from the top portion. In one version, when in the collapsed configuration, the collapsible container takes on a substantially flat shape having a longest dimension less than the longest dimension of the opening when the collapsible container is in the open configuration. In one version, the rim member which may be in the form of a collapsible hoop is contained within the collapsed container when in the collapsed configuration.

CONTAINER HAVING A LEAK RESISTANT SEAL
A container includes an outside portion forming an external surface of the container, an inside portion forming an internal surface of the container, and a container seal arranged on the internal surface and configured to open and close the container for providing access to the inside portion. The container seal includes a male seal portion arranged on the internal surface of a first side of the container, a female seal portion arranged on the internal surface of a second side of the container, a gap between a first end of the male seal portion on the first side of the container and a second end of the female seal portion on the second side of the container, and at least one gap seal that is disposed within the gap, between the male seal portion and the female seal portion.
TEMPERATURE-CONTROL MODULE FOR CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE OF BABY FOOD, POUCH FOR STORING BABY FOOD, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE OF BABY FOOD
The present invention relates to a tempering module (100) for tempering baby food, specifically baby milk or baby puree, which is designed to receive a bag (1) for baby food; and wherein the tempering module (100) comprises at least one heating element which is designed to heat an inner wall (112) of the tempering module (100) in order to control the temperature of the baby food contained in the bag (1), and wherein the tempering module (100) comprises at least one tensioning device which is designed to receive the inserted bag (1) in a state in which it is possible to place the bag (1) flat against the inner wall (112) of the tempering module (100). Furthermore, the application relates to a bag for storing baby food, specifically baby milk or baby puree, comprising at least one chamber (2; 3, 5) for receiving the baby food and a process for tempering a baby food
