Abstract
Method and material for wrapping items using a wrapping material made up of separate wrapping portion of a predetermined length. The wrapping portions are attached and released at their ends using a Z-lock system. The Z-lock system holds the wrapping portions together during manufacturing but can also easily release or separate the wrapping portions at a desired point in the wrapping process. The separating of the wrapping portions exposes an adhesive that is use to securely bond at least one wrapping portion to the item being wrapped at the end of a wrapping cycle.
Claims45
A wrapping material, comprising:
- a first wrapping portion;
- a second wrapping portion;
- at least one Z-lock portion bonding said first and second wrapping portions at their respective lateral ends for holding together and releasing said first and second portions during a wrapping cycle.
A wrapping material, comprising:
- a first wrapping portion;
- a second wrapping portion;
- at least one laminate portion bonding said first or second wrapping portions at their respective lateral ends for holding together and releasing said first and second wrapping portions during a wrapping cycle.
A method of wrapping;
- comprising:
- wrapping the circumference of an item using a first wrapping portion bonded at a lateral end to a second wrapping portion by at least one Z-lock portion;
- stopping the movement of said first wrapping portion;
- continuing the movement of said item;
- separating said first portion from said second portion at a low adhesion boundary in said Z-lock portion;
- and
- sealing the said item using the lateral end of said first wrapping portion to complete a wrapping cycle of said item,
- wherein stopping of said first wrapping portion and movement of said item separates said first portion from said second wrapping portion at the end of the wrapping cycle.
A wrapping material, comprising:
- a plurality of wrapping portions bonded together at their respective lateral end to form a continuous wrapping material, said respective lateral ends being bonding by a Z-lock portion that holds together and releases said plurality of wrapping portions during a wrapping cycle.
