Abstract
Methods for positioning a mounted slider device on a recloseable package include inoperably mounting the slider device onto the closure arrangement and contacting the inoperably mounted slider device with a surface to operably position the slider device on the reclosable closure mechanism. Methods of manufacturing recloseable packages include providing a package, a recloseable closure mechanism, and a slider device. Attaching the recloseable closure mechanism to the package. Mounting the slider device on the recloseable closure mechanism and contacting inoperably mounted slider devices with a surface to operably position the slider device on the recloseable closure mechanism.

A method of positioning a mounted slide device on a recloseable closure mechanism for a resealable package;
- the method comprising:
- (a) providing a recloseable closure mechanism and a slider device for opening and closing the recloseable closure mechanism;
- the slider device being inoperably mounted on the recloseable closure mechanism;
- and
- (b) contacting the inoperably mounted slider device with a hinged device to operably position the slider device on the reclosable closure mechanism, the hinged device having a contact surface and a spring operably connected to the contact surface.
A method of positioning a mounted slider device on a recloseable closure mechanism for a resealable package;
- the method comprising:
- (a) providing a recloseable closure mechanism;
- (b) mounting a slider device for opening and closing the recloseable closure mechanism onto the recloseable closure mechanism at a first station;
- and then
- (c) at a finishing station, downstream of the first station, contacting the mounted slider device with a hinged surface having a spring contacting the hinged surface, to ensure that the slider device is operably positioned on the reclosable closure mechanism.
