Embodiment Construction

[0019]Referring now to the drawings and with specific reference to FIG. 1, a reclosable food storage bag constructed in accordance with the teachings of the disclosure is generally referred to by reference numeral 20. While the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings will be set forth in conjunction with a bag, it should be understood that the teachings of the disclosure are equally applicable to other forms of food storage containers in addition to bags and thus would include such shapes and items as bowls, casseroles, pans, and the like.

[0020]As shown in combination with FIG. 2, FIG. 1 shows that the bag 20 includes a bottom wall 22 from which a side wall 24 upwardly extends. The side wall 24 can be formed from a single unitary piece of material or could be formed from first and second sides joined along lateral edges or seams 26. In addition, the side wall 24 can be joined to the bottom wall 22 at a seam 28 or could be molded integrally therewith. Accordingly...

Abstract

A reclosable food storage bag able to withstand a wide temperature range manufactured from environmentally sensitive materials is disclosed. The bag can be manufactured from such materials as silicone rubber and thermoset resins. By using such materials, the bag can easily withstand the temperature ranges encountered in residential kitchens extending from the freezer to the oven and all ambient temperatures therebetween. In addition, by manufacturing the bag from such materials, the environmental impact of using petroleum based polymers is avoided.

Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]The present disclosure generally relates to storage bags and containers and, more particularly, relates to durable food storage bags adapted to withstand a temperature range extending from below the freezing point of water to above the boiling point of water.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]Food storage bags and containers are well known. Very common examples include bowls and casserole dishes into which the food can be loaded and closed using a secondary layer such as aluminum foil or plastic wrap. While effective, such an approach necessarily occupies the bowl for an extended period of time, and requires cleaning when done.[0003]Over time, more disposable approaches have been developed including well known reclosable and flexible food storage bags such as those marketed by the assignee under its trademark “ZIP-LOC®”. With such an approach, a plastic bag typically made of polyethylene is formed from first and second sides which are hot welded across le...
