US Patent:

7273065, Sep 25, 2007

Filed:

Aug 12, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/202512

Inventors:

James A. Robbins - Covington TN, US

International Classification:

F16K 15/20

US Classification:

137223, 137228, 137233, 137522, 137523, 410119, 441 41, 251 82

Abstract:

A valve assembly for a dunnage bag wherein in the valve body a valve diaphragm is mounted on a shaft and is supported by a mounting bar such that the valve diaphragm may be reciprocally moved from the closed position to the open position by a simple axial push on the valve shaft. The valve shaft is retained in the mounting bar in an orifice and the shaft diameter is enlarged at its end distant from the valve diaphragm so as to generate a frictional force fit or lock in the open position to facilitate the removal of air from the bag. The valve may be released form the friction lock by the air pressure of a recharged bag and/or by the manual movement of the valve diaphragm and shaft axially toward the open end of the valve assembly.

Abstract:

A valve assembly for a dunnage bag wherein in one embodiment of the valve a valve diaphragm is mounted on a shaft and is supported by a mounting bar such that the valve diaphragm may be reciprocally moved from the closed position to the open position by a simple axial push on the valve shaft. The valve shaft is retained in the mounting bar in an orifice and the shaft diameter is enlarged at its end distant from the valve diaphragm so as to generate a frictional force fit or lock in the open position to facilitate the removal of air from the bag. The valve may be released form the friction lock by the air pressure of a recharged bag and/or by the manual movement of the valve diaphragm and shaft axially toward the open end of the valve assembly. In an alternate embodiment, the valve diaphragm is mounted to a valve stem that it rotationally and axially moveably connected to the valve body. The valve may be frictionally locked in its open or closed position by rotation that valve stem no more than one quarter turn.

41367880, Jan 30, 1979

Filed:

Apr 1, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/783675

Inventors:

James A. Robbins - Covington TN

Assignee:

Signode Corporation - Glenview IL

International Classification:

B65G 114
B65D 5700

US Classification:

214 105D

Abstract:

A multi-ply dunnage bag is provided with an end closure which is both strong and easy to fabricate. The first wall of the dunnage bag has, at one end, an extension or flap on the end of each ply. The flaps on each ply of the first wall are segregated into pairs of adjacent flaps and the two flaps that make up each pair are secured together and folded over the end of the bag where they are inserted between two adjacent plies of the opposite, or second wall and wherein at least one of the flaps of each pair is secured to one of the plies of the second wall. An identical end closure is provided at the other end of the bag, but with the plies of the second wall having flaps folded over and secured to the first wall.
