Pouch and closure for a pouch

Abstract

A pouch includes pouch walls and a pair of opposed closure strips attached to the pouch walls and which open and close the pouch. A slider is movable between first and second ends of the closure strips. Movement of the slider toward the first end opens the pouch and movement of the slider toward the second end closes the pouch. A plurality of indentations is formed in one of the closure strips, and the plurality of indentations is disposed only adjacent the second end.

1 . A pouch, comprising: 
 pouch walls;    a pair of opposed closure strips attached to the pouch walls and which open and close the pouch;    a slider movable between first and second ends of the closure strips wherein movement of the slider toward the first end opens the pouch and movement of the slider toward the second end closes the pouch; and    a plurality of indentations formed in one of the closure strips wherein the plurality of indentations is disposed only adjacent the second end.    
   
   
       2 . The pouch of  claim 1 , wherein each of the indentations is disposed transverse to the longitudinal axis of the one closure strip.  
   
   
       3 . The pouch of  claim 1 , wherein a further plurality of indentations are formed in the other closure strip.  
   
   
       4 . The pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of indentations is five indentations.  
   
   
       5 . The pouch of  claim 1 , further comprising a further plurality of indentations disposed generally along the length of the one closure strip and each of the further plurality of indentations having a depth less than the plurality of indentations at the second end.  
   
   
       6 . The pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of indentations are formed on an interior surface of the one strip.  
   
   
       7 . The pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of indentations are formed on an exterior surface of the one strip.  
   
   
       8 . A pouch, comprising: 
 pouch walls;    a pair of closure strips attached to the pouch walls and which open and close the pouch;    a slider movable between first and second ends of the closure strips wherein movement of the slider toward the first end opens the pouch and movement of the slider toward the second end closes the pouch;    a first plurality of indentations disposed along the length of one of the closure strips and having a first characteristic; and    a second plurality of indentations also disposed in the one closure strip wherein the second plurality of indentations is disposed only adjacent the second end and wherein the second plurality of indentations has a second characteristic different than the first characteristic.    
   
   
       9 . The pouch of  claim 8 , wherein each of the second plurality of indentations is deeper than each of the first plurality of indentations.  
   
   
       10 . The pouch of  claim 8 , wherein the other of the closure strips includes the first and second pluralities of indentations.  
   
   
       11 . The pouch of  claim 8 , wherein the indentations of the second plurality are spaced apart differently than the indentations of the first plurality.  
   
   
       12 . A closure for a pouch, comprising: 
 a first closure strip having a first profile and a plurality of indentation segments wherein the segments are spaced apart from one another by at least about three inches and wherein each of the segments includes indentations; and    a second closure strip having a second profile interlockable with the first profile.    
   
   
       13 . The closure of  claim 12 , wherein the second closure strip includes a further plurality of indentation segments.  
   
   
       14 . The closure of  claim 12 , wherein the indentations are formed in an exterior surface of the first closure strip.  
   
   
       15 . The closure of  claim 12 , wherein the indentations are formed in the first profile.
