[0010] It is therefore desirable to provide a containment system that can be fully sealed a

Problems solved by technology

While the use of a slider in convenient in terms of opening and closing the containment system, the presence of a separator of plow, between the profile elements, may inhibit full engagement of the closure profiles, leading to the possibility of product or odor escaping from the containment system.
In addition to leakage of gases and odor through the resealable closure, gases and odor may seep through the film of a bag of the containment system.

Embodiment Construction

[0030] Containment systems come in a variety of shapes, sizes and configurations, and serve a variety of different purposes. In accordance with the present disclosure, one type of containment system is shown in FIGS. 1-3 and is generally designated 100. As used herein, and as is generally understood in the art, the terms “male” and “female” elements refer to closure elements wherein the closure element that interlocks or enters into the other closure element is referred to as the “male”, and the other closure element, which receives the closure element, is referred to as the “female”.

[0031] As seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, containment system 100 is in the form of a plastic bag including a front wall and a rear wall 102, 104, respectively, having an integral or monolithically formed bottom edge 106 and an open top 108. Front and rear walls 102, 104 are joined to one another along left and right side edges 110a, 110b, respectively, to define sealed edges 112 and to define a compartment “C” ...

Abstract

A containment system for selectively receiving and containing an odor emanating object therein such that an odor of said odor emanating object is not sensed at a location outside of the containment system when said odor emanating object is placed within the containment system is provided. The containment system includes a bag having a front wall and a rear wall. The bag has a monolithically formed bottom edge, sealed left and right side edges, and a selectively openable top edge. The bag defines a compartment therein. The containment system further includes a closure device extending between the side edges along an inner surface of at least one of said front and rear walls for selectively opening and closing the compartment. Each of said front and rear walls is fabricated from a multilayered material including an outer layer, an intermediate layer, and an inner layer.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] The present application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 626,804, filed Nov. 10, 2004, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND [0002] 1. Technical Field [0003] The present disclosure relates to articles, systems and methods for preventing odors from contaminating the air, and more particularly, to selectively and / or permanently sealable containment articles, systems and methods for the containment of odors and for the prevention of the propagation of the odors therefrom. [0004] 2. Background of Related Art [0005] Various containment systems are known and used to store, ship and / or dispose of food products, non-food products, medical supplies, waste material, and the like. Resealable containment systems are convenient in that they can be closed and released after the initial opening to preserve the enclosed contents. [0006] Resealable containment systems typically...
