A reclosure article is configured for permanent attachment to a flexible container. The article includes a resilient, elongated strip including first and second fasteners proximate each of two opposed ends, wherein at least the first fastener includes a slot configured to receive one of first and second opposite side edges of the flexible container. A method is described for closing a flexible container using a reclosure article that is permanently attached to the container. The method includes inserting one of first and second opposite side edges of the flexible container into a slot of the article.

The invention relates to a carrying device for receiving goods, comprising a carrying wall which has a front wall and a rear wall, is arrangeable between a closed state and an open state, at least partially forwardly, downwardly and rearwardly delimits a carrying volume for receiving the goods in the closed state, and downwardly opens up the carrying volume in the open state. The carrying device furthermore comprises a closing device for releasably connecting the front wall to the rear wall in the closed state and an actuating device, connected to the closing device, for releasing the connection between the front wall and the rear wall from the closed state, having an actuating means arranged at a spacing from the closing device and a transmission means acting between the actuating device and the closing device, wherein the transmission means is formed in a flexible manner.

A bag includes a first sidewall, a second opposing sidewall, and a foldable base. The foldable base is coupled to the first sidewall and the second side wall. The foldable base includes a first rigid panel coupled to a second rigid panel such that the foldable base is configured to fold from a generally flat configuration to a folded configuration, thereby converting the bag from an expanded configuration to a collapsed configuration.

Flexible package (1) of the bag type for loosely packaged perishable food products, comprising: a front wall (2) and a rear wall (3) situated opposite each other, defining on the upper part a closing fin (4) and laterally connected together by two gusset walls (5); and a reclosing insert (10) comprising an attachment portion (7), externally adhering to said rear wall (3), and a non-adhesive free portion (8), contiguous to said attachment portion (7) and defining between itself and the rear wall (3) an insertion space (6) open at the top; said free portion (8) being able to retain, in a reclosing configuration, a folded-over portion of said closing fin (4) within said insertion space (6).

This invention relates to the processing and tracing of harvested seeds of fruit. More specifically, this invention relates to a seed processing system 100 comprising a seed processing container 10, 10.1 which includes a housing 12 defining a cavity 14 and an opening 15 that is in communication with the cavity 14; a closure 16 displaceable between an open position wherein the opening 15 is open and the seeds of fruit can be placed in or removed from the cavity 14, and a closed position wherein the opening 15 is closed to form a closed cavity 14 and the seeds of fruit cannot be placed in or removed from the cavity 14; and a closure sensor 17 for sensing when the closure 16 is displaced to its closed position, and generating closure position data in response to sensing displacement of the closure 16 to its closed position.

Unlike other sealing devices which are internal to a bag and adhered to the bag by heat or glue the current invention is external to the bag, is not adhered to the bag by heat or glue, is free to be moved up or down the bag to remove excess air, is reusable, and can be used on one type of a bag in one instant, removed, and be used on another type of bag. Furthermore, on current sealing devices if anything comes in-between the male and female seals which go directly into each other it renders the seal ineffective, but the current invention is not disturbed at all, and in fact the bag type container becomes part of the seal.
