An improved carrier tape is disclosed comprising an elongated base strip and an elongated cover strip both formed of a plastic film material. The base strip is provided with longitudinally spaced cavities for components to be transported therein as well as a series of spaced, longitudinally extending sprocket drive holes for advancing the tape. The cover strip has a raised hump on its top surface positioned so as to align with the sprocket holes when the tape is assembled. The hump defines a living hinge for the adjacent surfaces of the cover strip top face. Accordingly, when the hump is depressed the sidewalls of the cover strip move outwardly so as to clear the edges of the base strip. Conversely, when the hump is released, the sidewalls return to their relaxed position. A device for applying the cover strip to the base strip applies pressure to the hump of the cover strip while guiding the sidewalls of the cover strip around the top edge of the base strip.

A method of and apparatus for controlled coextrusion of plastic bag making film and a reclosable fastener male profile comprising extruding the film through an orifice with which is aligned a profile orifice and one or more alignment rib orifices as well as one or more stablizing ridge orifice cooperating with the profile and/or rib orifices. The resulting extruded product provides a bag making material comprising a plastic film carrying the zipper profile and with one or more alignment ribs in spaced parallel relation to the profile, with a reinforcing ridge or ridges effecting stabilizing beam effect in respect to the alignment rib or ribs and/or the profile during the processing of the extruded product into its final bag making material form. The extrudate for the film and the extrudate for the alignment rib or ribs may be derived from separate sources so that different plastics of different density or characteristics may be supplied to the alignment rib or ribs. The plastic for the alignment rib or ribs and the stabilizing ridge or ridges may be derived from a common source.

A reclosable package for a consumer product includes a zipper strip having male and female interlocking profiles. The former has a male interlocking member having a cross section in the shape of an asymmetric arrowhead. The latter has a female interlocking member in the form of two mutually curving members defining a channel therebetween. The male interlocking member is snappingly engaged into the channel to reclose the package. The asymmetric male interlocking member has an acute edge outward of the interior of the package, and a rounded edge facing the inside of the package. This asymmetry makes the package easier to open from within than from without.

A zipper strip for a reclosable package having a transverse zipper is provided. The zipper strip comprises a male interlocking profile and a female interlocking profile. Each profile includes an interlocking member and an integral web which defines a trailing flange. One or both of the profiles are provided with high compression members which allow one or both of the interlocking members to be sealed to thermoplastic film without being crushed or distorted.

A method for substantially reducing the variance in results obtained in pull tests on reclosable plastic bags, wherein the forces needed to open the bags from within and from without are measured and compared, by controlling the attachment point of the bag wall to the base of the zipper profile requires the use of selectively placed preferential seal areas. These seal areas are provided by disposing an interlayer between each profile and its respective bag wall. The interlayers include a strip of material having a lower melting point than those of the profiles and the bag walls and having a preselected width greater than any possible lateral displacement, or "float", of the profiles that may occur in the sealing apparatus. Where the strip does not take up the entire width of the interlayer, it has a preselected, constant width and runs parallel to the zipper profiles. The lower melting point of the material of the strip, and the width of the strip, ensure that the seal location on the profiles remains fixed.

A reclosable bag is formed of walls defining a closure with a mouth. The closure includes an asymmetric arrowhead male profile extending along an internal surface of one of the walls and a female profile having stubs adapted to interengage with said male profile and extending along an internal surface of the other wall. Both profiles also include stabilizer wedges on both sides thereof and parallel thereto across the width of the bag. The stabilizer wedges give the zipper formed by the male and female profiles a wide-track feel, and determine the force required to open the bag both from inside and from outside.

A reclosable plastic bag is provided having a zipper with profile strips on opposed walls. The profile strips consist of male and female profiles each surrounded by stabilizing wedges with the male wedges within the female wedges. An interlayer of low temperature melt material is interposed between at least a portion of each of the profile strips and its associated wall. The interlayer may span the full width of the profile strip or only a partial width of the strips.
