Dual compartment bag

Abstract

A dual compartment bag is disclosed. The bag has a central panel with the two compartments being located on opposing sides of the central panel. The two other panels are positioned flat on opposing sides of the central panel, and fixed to the central panel around the perimeter of the panels. One edge of the perimeter of the central panel and a first of the other panels is not closed and another edge of the perimeter of the central panel and the second of the other panels is not closed. These unclosed edges provide access to the spaces between the central panel and the other panels in a preferred embodiment and these openings are located at opposing ends from each other around the perimeter of the bag. One of the edges at each opening may have a flap extending from the edge. The flap may have an adhesive strip for holding the flap closed and sealing the compartment.

1 . A bag comprising: 
 a) a first panel;    b) a second panel sealed to said first panel on a first side of said first panel, around a portion of the perimeter of the panels, leaving a portion of said first and second panels not sealed to each other;    c) a third panel sealed to said first panel on a second side of said first panel, around a portion of the perimeter of the panels, leaving a portion of said first and third panels not sealed to each other;    d) wherein the unsealed portion between panels one and two does not occur at the same area of the perimeter of the bag as compared to the unsealed portion between panels one and three.    
   
   
       2 . The bag of  claim 1  wherein said panels are rectangular in shape.  
   
   
       3 . The bag of  claim 2  wherein the unsealed edge of panel  1  includes a portion of material extending therefrom to form a flap when folded over.  
   
   
       4 . The bag of  claim 2  wherein the unsealed edge of panel  2  includes a portion of material extending therefrom to form a flap when folded over.  
   
   
       5 . The bag of  claim 2  wherein the unsealed edge of panel  3  includes a portion of material extending therefrom to form a flap when folded over.  
   
   
       6 . The bag of  claim 3  wherein said flap includes an adhesive strip for use in sealing said flap upon closure.  
   
   
       7 . The bag of  claim 4  wherein said flap includes an adhesive strip for use in sealing said flap upon closure.  
   
   
       8 . The bag of  claim 5  wherein said flap includes an adhesive strip for use in sealing said flap upon closure.  
   
   
       9 . A method of producing a multiple compartment bag comprising the steps of: 
 a) placing a first rectangular panel upon a second rectangular panel and sealing the two panels together around three edges leaving a pouch opening for the fourth edge;    b) placing a third rectangular panel upon said second rectangular panel and sealing around a portion of the perimeter of the panels, leaving a portion of said second and third panels not sealed to each other;    d) wherein the unsealed portion between panels one and two does not occur at the same area of the perimeter of the bag as compared to the unsealed portion between panels one and three.    
   
   
       10 . A method of producing a multiple compartment bag, comprising; 
 a) folding a first sheet of material to form a first panel and a second panel, said second panel being longer than said first panel by the width of a first flap;    b) placing a second sheet of material on said second panel so that said second sheet extends beyond the fold creating said first panel and said second panel by the width of a second flap;    c) sealing the edges of said first panel and said second panel together, along the common edge of said first and second panel with the exception of the area wherein said first flap is formed.    d) sealing the edges of said second sheet that contact said second panel to said second panel with the exception of the area wherein said second flap is formed.    
   
   
       11 . A method of producing a multiple compartment bag comprising; 
 a) taking a first sheet of material to form a first panel and a second panel, said second panel being longer than said first panel by the width of a first flap;    b) placing a second sheet of material on said second panel so that said second sheet extends beyond the fold creating said first panel and said second panel by the width of a second flap;    c) sealing of said first panel and said second panel together, with the exception of the area adjacent to said first flap.    d) sealing the edges of said second sheet that contact said second panel with the exception of the area adjacent to said second flap.    
   
   
       12 . The bag of  claim 10  wherein said flap includes an adhesive strip for use in sealing said flap upon closure.  
   
   
       13 . The bag of  claim 11  wherein said flap includes an adhesive strip for use in sealing said flap upon closure.
