Benefits of technology

The present invention is a tamperproof bag with handles that make it easy to transport and handle. The bag has a tab with a perforated strip that prevents the adhesive closure from being reclosed after it has been torn open. The bag is made from cheap and durable materials.

Problems solved by technology

Further, separation of the pair of end walls once adhered is configured to form a tear which identifies an access attempt to the bag has been made, such that the bag can no longer be reclosed once opened.

first embodiment

[0018]Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a perspective view of the tamperproof bag. In some embodiments, the tamperproof bag 10 can be constructed of paper, paperboard, plastic, nylon, or any suitable flexible materials. The tamperproof bag 10 includes a base 11, a pair of opposing end walls 12, and a pair of opposing sidewalk 13 extending upwardly from the base 11. An open upper end 14 defines an interior volume 15, in which food or other contents may be stored. In some embodiments, the interior volume 15 is lined with an aluminum material to reflect heat and insulate the contents of the tamperproof bag 10. In other embodiments, the interior volume 15 is lined with a polyethylene laminating film, which helps to waterproof the tamperproof bag 10 and prevent leaks. Additionally, each end wall 12 includes a height that is greater than a height of each sidewall 13. This allows for much easier operation of the bag 10, including opening and closing of the tamperproof bag 10, when co...

second embodiment

[0021]Referring now to FIG. 2, there is shown a perspective view of the tamperproof bag. In some embodiments, the tamperproof bag 10 further includes a tab 23 affixed to an outer surface of one end wall 12, which is integrally formed with a perforated strip 24. The tab 23 is integral with the end wall 12 on which it is disposed yet frangible so as to tear the end wall 12 on which is disposed upon a tearing force being applied to the tab 23. In the shown embodiment, the tab 23 and perforated strip 24 include angled perforations 26 that allows the tab 23 to flex partially and be grasped more easily by the user. The perforated strip 24 guides the movement of the tab 23 for a clean separation. The tab is disposed on the end wall 12 opposite the end wall 12 having the adhesive strip 16. Additionally, in the shown embodiment, the perforated strip 24 extends across the upper edge of the end wall 12 to which the tab 23 is affixed, from a first end of the end wall 12 to a second end of the e...

third embodiment

[0022]Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4, there are shown perspective views of the tamperproof bag in an open configuration and a closed configuration, respectively. In some embodiments, the tamperproof bag 10 does not include handles. The tamperproof bag 10 is also designed to lay flat via folding the sidewalk 13 along a vertical fold line 27 extending downwardly to a pair of angular fold lines 28 that extend to opposing corners of the base 11. This allows the tamperproof bag 10 to be folded flat for storage prior to use. In order to use the tamperproof bag 10, the initial user unfolds the tamperproof bag 10 to an open configuration, as shown in FIG. 3. The initial user can then place food or other items within the tamperproof bag 10 and seal the tamperproof bag 10 closed via the adhesive strip 16. The tamperproof bag 10 is then sealed for delivery to the end user.

[0023]If an access attempt is made before reaching the end user, it will be evident via tearing of the tamperproof bag 10. ...

Abstract

A tamperproof bag includes a base, a pair of opposing end walls, and a pair of opposing sidewalls extending upwardly from the base to form an open upper end, defining an interior volume. Each end wall includes a height greater than a height of each sidewall, allowing for easier handling. An adhesive strip is disposed on an interior-facing surface of at least one end wall. The adhesive strip is configured to secure the end walls together to form a sealed closure and prevent access to the interior volume. Separation of the pair of end walls once adhered forms a tear in the bag, which may identify that an unauthorized access attempt to the bag has been made and prevents reclosure of the bag. A tab connected to a perforated strip that aligns with the adhesive strip provides a mechanism for accessing the interior of the bag.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 63 / 044,250 filed on Jun. 25, 2020. The above identified patent application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety to provide continuity of disclosure.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to tamperproof bag. More specifically, the present invention provides a tamperproof bag having a sealing closure mechanism that can only be opened by tearing away a portion of the bag, thereby making evident any attempts of tampering or unauthorized access or tampering with the bag contents.[0003]Restaurants and other similar businesses often serve food for delivery or for pick-up to be consumed off-site. Food is often served for delivery or pickup in a variety of containers having different shapes and sizes. Most commonly, the food is prepared and placed into a paper bag, plastic container, or other similar disposable container. Such...
