Benefits of technology

[0010]The present embodiments allow packing of vegetables and fruits, when they are still wet. Excess water can be drained during shipping or storing but nevertheless the crop may be retained in humid conditions in order to provide a longer shelf life.

Problems solved by technology

Leafy vegetables tend to lose moisture, leading to rapid deterioration of vitamin C. Leafy vegetables are thus best stored in moisture-sealed plastic bags.

Embodiment Construction

[0045]The present embodiments comprise a bag having a main chamber or storage area and a drainage reservoir separated from the main chamber by a drainage region, typically a perforated septum that allows for passage of fluid but not of the goods. A detachment region allows the reservoir to be detached while leaving the main chamber intact. The detachment region may comprise a perforation, a score, a weakened section of bag wall, an embedded tear tape, or any other means for allowing a clean tear that does not damage the rest of the bag and prevent further sealing of the main storage area.

[0046]A first openable closure leads to the main chamber for insertion of the wet goods, and is closable, preferably via a zipper. A second openable closure leads from the main chamber to the fluid reservoir and is likewise closable, preferably via a zipper.

[0047]In use both closures are opened and the wet goods are introduced into the main chamber. The first closure is then closed to seal the main ...

Abstract

A drainable bag for wet goods comprises a main storage area having an opening for introducing the wet goods, a first closure for closing the opening, a drainage reservoir; at least one drainage channel between the main storage area and the drainage reservoir; a detachment region along the drainage reservoir for aiding detachment of the drainage reservoir; and a second closure located between the storage area and the detachment region, for closing the main storage area following detachment of the drainage reservoir.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 USC §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 497,552 filed Jun. 16, 2011, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a drainable storage bag for wet goods and, more particularly, but not exclusively to a bag for receiving the goods in a wet state, say immediately after washing and allowing the goods to be drained and stored therein, for example for the purposes of storage over time or transport.[0003]Plants constantly lose water to the air, mainly via their leafy parts, as if they were filter paper. Plants remain in a turgid state, that is will remain hard and firm and appear fresh, as long as they are intact and connected to a water source in the soil. When plant parts, such as leaves, shoots and fruits, are harvested as a crop they start to wilt and cease to look fresh in the cus...
