Zipper for reclosable container

摘要

The zipper (10) for a reclosable bag (100) includes a male profile (12) and a female profile (14). The female profile (14) includes first and second legs (26,28) extending from a planar base (24), with a space (36) formed therebetween for insertion of a male profile (12) therein. Apertures (34) are formed in the planar base (24) providing communication between the space (36) between the first and second legs (26,28) and an opposite side of the planar base. This allows the insertion of the male profile (12) into the female profile (14) to urge particles or powder (200) lodged in the space to pass through the apertures (34) to the opposite side of the planar base (24).
