Filed:

Mar 8, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/521233

Inventors:

Joel C. Johnson - Lake Oswego OR

Assignee:

Pacific Scientific Instruments Company - Grants Pass OR

International Classification:

G01N 2100

US Classification:

356338, 356339, 2502222, 372 22

Abstract:

A preferred OPTICAL BLACKâ ionic anodize process of the present invention applies a porous anodic oxide coating to a component part in a standard sulfuric acid anodizing bath (with or without organic additives). A modified alternating electric current is then applied to the porous oxide coating to remove excess anodizing electrolyte and to allow the coloring solution access to the pores. The oxide coating is electrolytically colored in a low pH acid bath containing a tin salt, sulfuric acid, and organic additives. Alternating current carries additional tin salt to the base of the pores where the tin salt is reduced to metallic tin or tin oxide. Others metals or metallic salts could be employed. Component parts treated by the OPTICAL BLACKâ ionic anodize process can be advantageously employed in optical systems, such as particle detectors, to reduce or eliminate stray light.

International Classification:

B65B 6118

US Classification:

53412, 531334, 531392

Abstract:

Methods of making slide-zippered reclosable packages are provided. In one embodiment, a pair of opposing film extensions are provided on each package between which a zipper and slider are attached. In another embodiment, sliders are inserted on to zippered packages output from a form-fill-seal machine or the like. In yet another embodiment, during package formation a reclosable zipper is sealed to each package and then a slider is inserted on to the zipper. In yet another embodiment, during package formation a reclosable zipper is sealed to each package and a slider is inserted on to each zipper, either before or after zipper sealing.

International Classification:

B65D 3300

US Classification:

383204, 383 612, 383 64, 383 66

Abstract:

A method of making reclosable packaging utilizes a longitudinally extending web of film material having cutouts therein. A length of zipper strip substantially half the width of the web and having an attached slider is applied transversely across the web of film material with the slider positioned in the cut out. The web is folded longitudinally with the zipper attached to the web and the slider positioned in the cut out. The edges of the web are brought together longitudinally and seamed to form a tube. The opposite ends of the tube are sealed to form the package. The resultant bag has the slider seated in the cut-out where it is readily visible to a consumer.
