Abstract
Abstract A device for uniting components, for example opposite facing panels of a bag adjacent an opening of the bag, one to another having an opening in one of the components, a pressure sensitive contact adhesive member in adhesive contact with the component so as to bridge the opening and spacer member for spacing the components one from another. The components are united one with another by deforming the adhesive member or the opposite facing component into the opening so that the adhesive contacts an opposite facing surface of the opposite facing component.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A device for uniting a first component and a second component one to another, said first component being of flexible material having a first surface and a second surface reverse to said first surface and said first component having spaced substantially parallel folds defining an elongate gap, said device comprising said folds and a membrane having pressure sensitive contact adhesive thereon, the membrane being united with said folds such that said membrane bridges said gap and said gap is of dimension transverse to a longitudinal axis of said gap such that, when said second surface of said first component is located adjacent said second component, said adhesive is spaced from contact with said second component but is contactable therewith by deforming a portion of said second component or a portion of said membrane into said gap.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
136 words
A device for uniting a first component and a second component one to another, said first component being of flexible material having a first surface and a second surface reverse to said first surface and said first component having spaced substantially parallel folds defining an elongate gap, said device comprising said folds and a membrane having pressure sensitive contact adhesive thereon, the membrane being united with said folds such that said membrane bridges said gap and said gap is of dimension transverse to a longitudinal axis of said gap such that, when said second surface of said first component is located adjacent said second component, said adhesive is spaced from contact with said second component but is contactable therewith by deforming a portion of said second component or a portion of said membrane into said gap.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A device as in claim 1, wherein the material of the membrane is less flexible than the material of the first and second components.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A device as in claim 1, wherein the material of the first and second components is less flexible than the material of the membrane.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
19 words
A device as in claims 2 or 3, wherein the adhesive provided on the membrane is a re-usable adhesive.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
19 words
A device as in claims 2 or 3, wherein the adhesive provided on the membrane is a permanent adhesive.
