Transparent pouch with zipper access opening

Abstract

A clear plastic pouch is in the form of a generally parallelepiped container having a zipper mechanism which extends along at least a portion of the lateral sides of the pouch and across the top of the pouch.

1 . A flexible, multi-sided transparent wall pouch including a single access zippered opening comprising, in combination:
 a generally rectangular parallelepiped pouch comprised of at least a first generally planar, transparent, flexible plastic panel having a generally rectangular configuration with a top side, a bottom side and opposite lateral sides;   a second panel substantially identical to the first panel, said first and second panels each having a top side edge with a top side dimension and said first and second panels having a circumferential dimension;   a third panel comprised of first and second elongate strips of flexible plastic material, each strip having an inner longitudinal boundary connected by a zipper mechanism and an outer longitudinal boundary generally parallel to the inner boundary, said elongate strips having a longitudinal dimension greater than the top side dimension of the first and second panels; said third panel having a dimension transverse to the longitudinal boundaries; and   a fourth panel comprising an elongate strip with a transverse dimension, a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal dimension, said outer boundaries of said first and second elongate strips of said third panel heat sealed with respectively to the top side and opposite lateral sides of the first and second panels; and   said fourth panel longitudinal boundaries heat sealed respectively to the bottom side and opposite lateral sides of the first and second panels with the first end and second end thereof overlying in part and heat sealed respectively to the opposite ends of the third panel, whereby said zipper opening is continuous and extends along a portion of each lateral side and the top side of the first and second panels to provide zippered access to the interior of the pouch.   
   
   
       2 . The pouch of  claim 1  further including a plurality of generally rigid sided separate containers therein. 
   
   
       3 . The pouch of  claim 1  further including a flap extension of one of said first and second front and back panels, said flap extension including a hanger opening therethrough. 
   
   
       4 . The container of  claim 1  further including a plurality of modular sized generally rigid containers dimensioned in combination to occupy the space between the side edges of the first and second panels. 
   
   
       5 . The container of  claim 3  wherein the flap extension extends from a side edge of the second panel.
