Abstract:
1. A resealable pouch comprising: a front panel connected with a back panel along a peripheral edge to define a sealable interior space therebetween; an opening defined between the front and back panels along a top edge; a first elongate closure profile extending along the front panel proximate to the opening, the first elongate closure profile including (i) a base member, (ii) a first interlocking member extending from the base member, (iii) a second interlocking member extending from the base member, and (iv) a first sealing member spaced between the first and second interlocking members, the first sealing member comprising (a) a first sealing wall extending from the base member and comprising a tapered tip, and (b) a second sealing wall extending from the base member and comprising a tapered tip, the first sealing wall being spaced from the second sealing wall to define a tapered channel therebetween, wherein each of the first and second sealing walls comprises a base adjacent to the base member of the first elongate closure profile, such that the tapered tip of each of the first and second sealing walls is narrower than their respective base; and a second elongate closure profile extending along the back panel proximate to the opening, the second elongate closure profile being releasably interlockable with the first closure profile to seal and to unseal the opening, the second closure profile including (i) a base member, (ii) a first interlocking member extending from the base member, (iii) a second interlocking member extending from the base member, and (iv) a second sealing member spaced between the first and second interlocking members, the second sealing member comprising (a) a first sealing rib extending from the base member, (b) a second sealing rib extending from the base member, and (c) a third sealing rib extending from the base member, the first sealing rib being disposed between the second sealing rib and the third sealing rib, and the first sealing rib being wedged between the first sealing wall and the second sealing wall within the tapered channel, wherein the first sealing member is sealingly engageable with the second sealing member, and the first and second interlocking members of the first elongate closure profile are interlockable with the first and second interlocking members of the second elongate closure profile, respectively, wherein the first elongate closure profile is continuously connected to the back panel between the first and second interlocking members of the first closure profile, and wherein the second elongate closure profile is continuously connected to the front panel between the first interlocking member of the second closure profile and the sealing member of the second closure profile, and not connected to the front panel proximate to the second interlocking member of the second closure profile.
