Embodiment Construction

[0037] Referring now to the drawings, where like elements are represented by like numbers throughout the circle views, in FIGS. 1 and 2, resealable container 10 includes wrapper 11 which forms top 12, bottom 13, opposing sides 14a and 14b and opposing ends 15a and 15b. The top 12 and side 14a have a die-cut-out forming flap 16 as indicated by broken line 19. The flap 16, when pulled back from container 10, forms opening 18. The wrapper 11 extends past the end of top 12 and bottom 13 at ends 15a and 15b, where the wrapper 11 is crimped together to form crimp seals 21a, 21b.

[0038] A sealing cover or layer is formed from a sealing label 20 which is affixed to the flap 16. Advantageously, the sealing label 20 is permanently affixed to the flap 16 using an appropriate adhesive. The sealing label 20 covers a substantial portion of the top 12 extending from the proximity of side 14a to the proximity of the side 14b and from the proximity of end 15a to the proximity of end 15b. A portion o...

Abstract

A polygonal shaped container is provided which includes a wrapper surrounding a food product. The shape of the container is defined by either a frame containing a food product or rigid material incorporated with the wrapper. Access to contents in the container is provided by withdrawing a resealable sealing layer sealed to the top or side surface of the container and withdrawing the sealing layer from the container or by pivoting a rigid lid away from the top of the container.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a resealable container, and in particular, a new and improved resealable container having a recloseable sealing cover which can be withdrawn from one of the sides of the container to gain access to its interior. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Many conventional containers for food products such as cookies and other snacks include a frame surrounded by an outer wrapper. The frame acts as a tray to hold the food product and to protect the food product from damage. One normally gains access to the contents of the container by opening one end of the wrapper, withdrawing the tray from the inside thereof, and then removing the food product from the tray. However, these containers generally do not provide a convenient opening and reclosing arrangement. For example, reclosing of the wrapper, once opened, generally includes simply folding or rolling the end down and clipping the end to keep the wrapper closed. [0003] Reclosabl...
