Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of opening a zipper-sealed bag having first and second opposing sidewalls, a zipper tape seal attached to the bag at the opening and configured to be alternated between a sealed and unsealed state, the seal having a first sealing member secured to the first sidewall along a portion of the opening, and a second sealing member secured to the second sidewall along a portion of the opening, the first sidewall having a first flap at a top edge thereof, and the second sidewall having a second flap at a top edge thereof, the method comprising grasping the first sidewall with a user's first hand, grasping the second sidewall with a user's other hand, the user pressing with a downward force on each of the first and second sealing members while simultaneously pulling the sidewalls in generally opposing directions.

Claim (Index 1):
A zipper bag sealing assembly comprising:\n a bag having an opening; a zipper tape seal attached to the bag at the opening and configured to be alternated between a sealed and unsealed state, the zipper tape seal including:\n a first sealing member secured to a first bag sidewall along a portion of the opening, the first sealing member including a first extension and a receiving element, the receiving element having an upper segment with a substantially C-shaped cross-section and a lower segment with a substantially C-shaped cross-section smaller than and extending from the upper segment, wherein one end of the first extension connects to the first bag sidewall and another end connects to the upper segment of the receiving element; and \n a second sealing member secured to a second bag sidewall along another portion of the opening opposite the first sealing member, the second sealing member including a second extension and an insertion element, the insertion element having an upper segment with a substantially C-shaped cross-section and a lower segment with a substantially J-shaped cross-section extending from the upper segment, wherein one end of the second extension connects to the second bag sidewall and another end connects to the lower segment of the insertion element; \n wherein when the zipper tape seal is in the sealed state the upper segment of the insertion element nests within the upper segment of the receiving element and the lower segment of the insertion element nests within the lower segment of the receiving element.
