Benefits of technology

The invention is a system that includes a liner and a tubing construction. The tubing runs inside the liner to help remove excess air. It has a valve that allows air to be pulled out of the liner but prevents outside air from getting in. This system is small and affordable, making it easy to distribute and use as a premium item inside or along boxes.

Problems solved by technology

The main problem with them is that they all have their limitations and drawbacks such as not fully user friendly and fun to use, production cost, size.
The main problem with boxes and their configuration is that once the box and bag / liner containing the content is opened, it is very laborious and almost impossible to adequately close them of again in a fun and user friendly manner.
They all have a number of drawbacks and finally are laborious and not fully user friendly.
A problem with conventional boxes when using an other container is that you first have to pour the content from the original package into a container, this leaves you with an empty box and liner.
While these devices may be suitable for the particular purpose to which they address, they are not as suitable for providing a special device that allows the user to close of boxes having a liner inside of different sizes such as cereal—and other boxes.
The main problem with conventional box and container sealing devices are: cardboard boxes with a bag / liner inside containing a content are very unpractical to open and close.
Once the box and bag containing the content is opened, it is very laborious to adequately close them off.
Furthermore containers don't display the name and brand name of the product.

second embodiment

[0042]The device comprising two main pieces A and B, both pieces A and B preferably having a rectangular longitudinal member 2, preferably comprising a channel section 25 created by protrusions 22 and 24 (See FIG. 4) running parallel with the longitudinal direction of the member 2 and protruding downwardly from the bottom surface of said member. This for installing pieces A and B onto the longitudinal sides of the boxes, snapping and detachably fixing the sides of the boxes between said protrusions 22 and 24. The short end sections of said members can be left open or be capped 21 and can also have a channel sections for gripping the short sides of the boxes. (See FIGS. 2 and 5) at least one gripping protrusion 7 depending inwardly from member 2, preferably also running parallel with the longitudinal configuration of said member 2 for firmly pressing the sides of the liner / bag between those gripping sections 7 of pieces A and B. (See FIGS. 1-6) A tubing construction 10 preferably is ...

fourth embodiment

[0051]In the device See FIGS. 25-30. The shape of the device is improved as it has a somewhat bended form along its longitudinal sides 2 and griping members 7 improving the strength of the product as well as the camping power. Furthermore little protrusions 400 for creating a tighter clamping fit onto the boxes are constructed alongside channel 25.

[0052]Very important is that the invention rather than being a separate device can certainly also be applied, constructed and arranged directly into the boxes themselves in any form, material and method and thus being implemented directly with the box construction itself.

Additional Embodiments

[0053]Fastener means 5 and 6 can be installed and positioned onto both the short sides also. The locking means for when the box is closed by bringing the front or back or both front and back of the two longitudinal sides together can also be integrated both into the short box sides as well as into the long box sides of the box or in both sides of the ...
