A reclosable pouch includes a first bag wall. A second bag wall opposing the first bag wall is joined to the first bag wall to form an interior of the pouch with an opening to the interior. A first male closure element coupled to the first bag wall defines a plurality of deformed segments and a plurality of normal segments alternating along a length thereof. A first female closure element coupled to the second bag wall engages with the first male closure element to seal the opening of the pouch and to generate a first sound. A second female closure element coupled to the second bag wall engages with the second male closure element to seal the opening of the pouch and to generate a second sound differing from the first sound.

A fastening system comprises two elongated profile parts, one of which comprises a guiding means for positioning it with respect to the other profile part, for releasably fastening a carrier to a holder, wherein the rib of one profile and the clamping hole of the other profile both comprise a deformation, which deformations are mutually adapted to position the one profile in substantially clamped state in the other profile in the longitudinal direction thereof, wherein the said deformations comprise a recess respectively an elevation adapted thereto.

Carrier or holder, in particular a Minigrip bag, provided with such a profile part.

Storage system for holders and carriers provided with such profile parts; Minigrip bag provided with an additional profile part on the outside of the closing edge, for use in a storage system.

A container or pouch made from an elastomer includes a body having a front wall and a rear wall that are configured to provide an inner volume of the container. A closure system includes a male portion having a male sealing profile that has a male closure element that extends from a thickened region, and a female portion has a female sealing profile that includes a female closure element and defines an opening into a cavity. A gate is disposed between the inner volume and the male closure element. A centerline extends through the opening, the cavity, the male sealing profile, and the thickened region when the closure system is in a closed configuration. The gate extends below an axis that extends through the opening and is perpendicular to the centerline in the closed configuration.

The present invention relates to improvements for tactile guidance for closing a linear fastener. Such fasteners are known for use on reclosable storage bags. Disclosed is a fastener assembly comprising first and second opposing flanges. Each flange can have linear male and female closure elements that interlock with matching male and female elements of the second flange. The fastener assembly can further comprise a linear arrangement of perforations between the closure elements to provide enhanced tactile feedback while the fastener is closed.

A zipper strap structure according to an embodiment includes a first strap, a second strap disposed side by side with the first strap, an internal coupling unit, and an external coupling unit. According to the invention, the internal and external coupling of the zipper strap structure is performed with very high accuracy and precision. In addition, when the zipper strap structure is operated, a user can intuitively recognize whether the zipper strap structure is opened or closed by senses of touch and hearing. Since a user can effectively seal contents by the internal and external coupling of the zipper strap structure and can clearly recognize an operation state of the zipper by senses of touch and hearing, the user does not have to perform repeated checking of whether or not a zipper is completely closed, unlike the related art.

Dual-closure weather barriers that are configured to selectively seal an opening of a bag or enclosure. When sealed, the dual-closure weather barrier is configured to prevent an ingress of water into an interior volume of the bag or enclosure. The dual-closure weather barrier includes an outer sealing mechanism configured to form an outer seal of the opening and an inner sealing mechanism configured to form an inner seal of the opening. The dual-closure weather barrier is configured to be selectively transitioned between a fully sealed configuration and an unsealed configuration. When the dual-closure weather barrier is disposed in the fully sealed configuration, the outer sealing mechanism forms the outer seal, the inner sealing mechanism forms the inner seal, and the outer seal is maintained spaced above and away from the inner seal and an upper surface of the fabric bag relative to the interior volume.

A container made entirely from an elastomer includes a body with a front wall and a rear wall that is connected to the front wall along a peripheral edge. The container further includes a closure system comprising a front side having a male closure profile that includes a male closure element and a rear side having a female closure profile. The female closure profile includes a female closure element and defines a cavity. A centerline extends through the cavity such that the female closure element is symmetrical about the centerline. The male closure element includes a head portion that has a primary profile and a secondary profile that extends from the primary profile. A height of the secondary profile measured in a direction that is perpendicular to the centerline is greater than a height of the primary profile measured in a direction that is perpendicular to the centerline.
