Abstract:
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 male closure element coupled to one of the bag walls defines a plurality of deformed segments and a plurality of normal segments along a length thereof. The plurality of deformed segments alternate with the plurality of normal segments, with (i) first transitions on one side of the male closure element and (ii) second transitions on another side of the male closure element. A female closure element coupled to the other bag wall engages with the male closure element to seal the opening of the pouch, with the deformed segments of the male closure element generating a sound when the female closure element engages with the male closure element.

Claim (Index 1):
A reclosable pouch comprising:\n (A) a body portion having:\n (a) a top portion; \n (b) a bottom portion; \n (c) a first wall that extends from the bottom portion to the top portion; and \n (d) a second wall that extends from the bottom portion to the top portion, the second wall opposing the first wall, and the second wall being joined to the first wall to form an interior of the pouch with an opening to the interior; \n (B) a male closure element coupled to one of the first and second walls, the male closure element having a first side facing the bottom portion of the pouch and a second side facing the top portion of the pouch, the male closure element defining a plurality of deformed segments and a plurality of normal segments along a length thereof, the plurality of deformed segments being formed by removing at least a portion of the male closure element on at least one of the first side and the second side of the male closure element, and the plurality of deformed segments alternating with the plurality of normal segments, with (i) first transitions on one of the first side and the second side of the male closure element between the plurality of deformed segments and the plurality of normal segments, and (ii) second transitions on the other of the first side and the second side of the male closure element between the plurality of deformed segments and the plurality of normal segments, with the second transitions differing from the first transitions; and (C) a female closure element coupled to the other of the first and second walls that opposes the one of the first and second walls coupled to the male closure element, the female closure element being configured to engage with the male closure element to seal the opening of the pouch, wherein the deformed segments of the male closure element generate a sound when the female closure element engages with the male closure element to seal the opening of the pouch, with the sound being generated on the other of the first side and the second side of the male closure element due to the second transitions between the plurality of deformed segments and the plurality of normal segments.
