Filed: 1945-08-27
Abstract: 597,786. Packages. WINGFOOT CORPORATION. Aug. 27, 1945, No. 21934. Convention date, May 18. [Class 94 (i)] Gas-emitting material is packed for sale or storage in unit packages 1 which may be mounted on a card 2. The enclosing material of the packages 1 is a gas-pervious film, such as highly plasticized rubber hydrochloride or a polymerized vinyl compound film, which allows carbon dioxide to pass through it, and can be heat-sealed. The whole card 2 with packages 1 is then placed in an envelope 3 of non-permeable film, such as a pellicle of rubber hydrochloride or coated regenerated cellulose. The envelope 3 is thus moisture-proof, and may be coloured to exclude harmful light rays. Instead of on a card, the packages 1 may be mounted in any desired moisture-proof and gas-impermeable container.
