In this regard, directional terminology, such as “top,” “bottom,” “front,” “back,” etc., is used with reference to the orientation of the Figure (s) being described. The components of the present invention can be positioned in a number of different orientations. As such, the directional terminology is used for purposes of illustration and is in no way limiting. Accordingly, the drawings and descriptions will be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive.


Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a sealing bag 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a partial exploded diagram of the sealing bag 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a partial enlarged sectional diagram of the sealing bag 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the sealing bag 1 includes a bag body 11 and a sealing system 12. The bag body 11 provides an inner space I therein to store things, like food. The sealing system 12 can seal the bag body 11 to isolate the inner space I from an outer atmosphere A, as shown in FIG. 3, so that the sealing bag 1 can prevent leakage of the food and keep the food fresh. In this embodiment, the bag body 11 can include two film layers 111 combined with each other and made of plastic material, such as Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), or silicone rubber, and the inner space I is enclosed by the two film layers 111. However, the structure and the material of the bag body of the present invention are not limited to this embodiment. It depends on practical demands.


Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a partial enlarged exploded diagram of the sealing system 12 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the sealing system 12 includes an elastomeric protruding component 121 and a covering assembly 122. The elastomeric protruding component 121 is disposed on the bag body 11 and protrudes from the bag body 11 along a protruding direction P. A slit S penetrates through the elastomeric protruding component 121 along the protruding direction P and is communicated with the inner space I of the bag body 11. In this embodiment, the elastomeric protruding component 121 can be integrally combined with the bag body 11 by high frequency welding and extend along an extending direction E substantially perpendicular to the protruding direction P to form a straight-shaped structure. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. It depends on practical demands. For example, in another embodiment, the bag body and the elastomeric protruding component can be a one-piece structure by injection molding, and the elastomeric protruding component can surround a periphery of the bag body.


The covering assembly 122 is for detachably engaging with the elastomeric protruding component 121 to seal the slit S. When the covering assembly 122 is detached from the elastomeric protruding component 121, the inner space I is accessible through the slit S, so as to allow a user to put things inside the inner space I or to take out things from the inner space I. When the covering assembly 122 engages with the elastomeric protruding component 121, the covering assembly 122 squeezes the elastomeric protruding component 121 along two directions, i.e., the protruding direction P and a lateral direction L different form the protruding direction P, to seal the slit S to isolate the inner space I from the outer atmosphere A. In this embodiment, the lateral direction L can be substantially perpendicular to the protruding direction P and the extending direction E. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. It depends on the structure of the covering assembly. For example, in another embodiment, the lateral direction can be inclined relative to the protruding direction and the extending direction E.


Specifically, the covering assembly 122 includes a covering component 1221 for engaging with the elastomeric protruding component 121 and a sealing component 1222 disposed on the covering component 1221. In this embodiment, the covering component 1221 can be attached to the bag body 11 with a connecting component 112 by high frequency welding for preventing loss of the covering component 1221. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. It depends on practical demands. For example, the covering component can be separated from the bag body, i.e., the connecting component can be omitted.


Furthermore, the elastomeric protruding component 121 includes a plurality of first interlocking portions 1211 located at two lateral portions thereof and arranged along the extending direction E, and the covering component 1221 includes a plurality of second interlocking portions 1221A located at two lateral portions thereof and arranged along the extending direction E for detachably engaging with the plurality of first interlocking portions 1211. The covering component 1221 squeezes the elastomeric protruding component 121 along the lateral direction L by cooperation of the plurality of first interlocking portions 1211 and the plurality of second interlocking portions 1221A. In this embodiment, each of the first interlocking portion 1211 and the second interlocking portion 1221A can be a tooth with an inclined surface, so that the covering component 1221 can engage with the elastomeric protruding component 121 along the protruding direction P in a snapping manner. However, the numbers and the arrangements of the first interlocking portion and the second locking portion are not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the elastomeric protruding component can include one first interlocking portion located at one lateral portion thereof, and the covering component can include one second interlocking portion located at one lateral portion thereof.


The sealing component 1222 squeezes the elastomeric protruding component 121 along the protruding direction P when the plurality of first interlocking portions 1211 engage with the plurality of second interlocking portions 1221A. In this embodiment, the sealing component 1222 can be a single-layer structure detachably installed on the covering component 1221 and made of elastomeric material.


In addition, in this embodiment, in order to keep food fresh or reduce an occupied space, the sealing system 12 can further include a vacuum valve 123 disposed on the bag body 11 for allowing or restraining discharge of fluid inside the inner space I of the bag body 11. The user can use a vacuum pump, which is not shown in the figures, to discharge the fluid, such as air, inside the inner space I via the vacuum valve 123. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the vacuum valve can be omitted.


When it is desired to store things inside the sealing bag 1 or take things out of the sealing bag 1, the covering assembly 122 can be detached from the elastomeric protruding component 121 to allow access to the inner space I of the bag body 11 through the slit S. After the things are placed into the inner space I or taken out via the slit S, the covering assembly 122 can be engaged with the elastomeric protruding component 121 to squeeze the elastomeric protruding component 121 along the lateral direction L by the covering component 1221 and along the protruding direction P by the sealing component 1222 for sealing the slit S. After the slit S is sealed by engagement of the elastomeric protruding component 121 and the covering assembly 122, the fluid, such as air, inside the inner space I of bag body 11 can be discharged via the vacuum valve 123 by the vacuum pump for long-term storage and reducing an occupied space.
