Example

[0021]Various objects, features, aspects and advantages of the inventive subject matter will become more apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments, along with the accompanying drawing figures in which like numerals represent like components.

[0022]The following discussion provides many example embodiments of the inventive subject matter. Although each embodiment represents a single combination of inventive elements, the inventive subject matter is considered to include all possible combinations of the disclosed elements. Thus if one embodiment comprises elements A, B, and C, and a second embodiment comprises elements B and D, then the inventive subject matter is also considered to include other remaining combinations of A, B, C, or D, even if not explicitly disclosed.

[0023]As used in the description herein and throughout the claims that follow, the meaning of “a,”“an,” and “the” includes plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. A...

Abstract

A bag sealing device is designed to seal off an already-opened bag, such as a bag of chips. The device has a sheath and a rod. A slit is disposed along an axial direction of the sheath, and the rod is coupled to the sheath and disposed within it. A bag is folded over and inserted into the device such that it enters and exits the device at the slit and is wrapped around the rod. A reaction force from the rod and a reaction force from the sheath combine to cause the bag to be substantially pneumatically sealed.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The field of the invention is bag sealing devices and methods.BACKGROUND[0002]The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.[0003]Any time a bag of chips is opened, the chips need to either be eaten in one sitting or the bag must be resealed to maintain freshness. Efforts have been made in the past to address this issue, but each attempt has fallen short for one reason or another.[0004]In one example, bag clips have been produced that allow a person to roll up the end of the bag and clip it shut. While this helps to prevent the chips from becoming stale, it falls short in that air can still move in and out of the bag with relative ease. Chips or other foods sealed in this way will still become st...
