Storage Bag Having an Integrated Manual Pump - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017902 titled 'Storage Bag Having an Integrated Manual Pump
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a resealable bag with an integrated manual pump. The bag has a front wall and a back wall that define a cavity, and a sealable closure to seal the opening to the cavity. The manual pump is positioned within an aperture in the front wall and includes a frame, a pump ball, and ingress and egress valves. Depressing the pump ball removes air from the bag through the egress valve, and the pump ball refills with air between depressions through the ingress valve.
- The resealable bag has an integrated manual pump for removing air from the bag.
- The manual pump includes a frame, a pump ball, and ingress and egress valves.
- Air is removed from the bag by depressing the pump ball, forcing air out through the egress valve.
- The pump ball refills with air between depressions through the ingress valve.
- The bag can be sealed and resealed using the sealable closure.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Food storage: The resealable bag with an integrated manual pump can be used for storing food items, allowing for easy removal of air to extend the shelf life of the food.
- Travel storage: The bag can be used for packing clothes or other items while traveling, reducing the volume of the packed items and maximizing space in luggage.
- Vacuum sealing: The integrated manual pump allows for vacuum sealing of the bag, preserving the freshness and quality of the contents.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Air removal: The manual pump provides a convenient and efficient way to remove air from the bag, preventing spoilage and extending the shelf life of the contents.
- Space-saving: By removing air from the bag, the volume of the contents is reduced, allowing for more efficient storage and transportation.
Benefits of this technology:
- Extended shelf life: By removing air from the bag, the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms is inhibited, leading to longer shelf life for perishable items.
- Space optimization: The ability to remove air from the bag allows for more efficient use of storage space, both in the refrigerator or pantry and during travel.
- Convenience: The integrated manual pump provides a simple and user-friendly method for removing air from the bag, eliminating the need for external vacuum sealing devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
a resealable bag having an integrated manual pump is provided. the resealable bag includes: a front wall and a back wall together defining a cavity, a sealable closure configured to seal an opening to the cavity, and a manual pump positioned within an aperture in the front wall, wherein the manual pump includes a frame around a perimeter of the aperture, a pump ball positioned within the frame, and an ingress valve and an egress valve in fluid communication with an interior of the pump ball. air is removed from the bag by depressing the pump ball, which forces air through the egress valve from the interior of the pump ball to an exterior of the bag. the pump ball refills with air between depressions due to air from the bag cavity entering the pump ball through the ingress valve disposed on a cavity-facing surface of the pump ball.
