Abstract

The present invention provides a system for forming a bag. The bag includes a first portion, a second portion having a series of plurality of accordion folds and a third portion having a base to support the bag. The series of plurality of accordion folds allow variations in the length of the second portion and the base provides the closing to the bag to hold food to be packed inside the bag. The second portion is positioned between the first portion and the third portion. The series of plurality of accordion folds of the second portion allows the bag to transition from an expanded state to a contracted state and the contracted state to the expanded state.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for packaging forming a bag, said bag comprising:
 a first portion;   a second portion having a series of plurality of accordion folds, wherein said series of plurality of accordion folds allow variations in the length of said second portion; and   a third portion having a base to support said bag, wherein said base provides the closing to said bag to hold food to be packed inside said bag, wherein said second portion is positioned between said first portion and said third portion, and wherein said series of plurality of accordion folds of said second portion allows said bag to transition from an expanded state to a contracted state and said contracted state to said expanded state.   
     
     
         2 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein width of said first portion and width of said third portion is more than said width of the second portion. 
     
     
         3 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said accordion folds of said second portion comprises a series of evenly spaced and parallel plates with alternating raised and recessed folds. 
     
     
         4 . The system as recited in  claim 3 , wherein length of said second portion decreases when a subset of said series of plurality of accordion folds get contracted. 
     
     
         5 . The system as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said length of said second portion decreases when said series of plurality of accordion folds get contracted in same ratio. 
     
     
         6 . The system as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said length of said second portion decreases when said series of plurality of accordion folds get contracted in different ratio. 
     
     
         7 . The system as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said contraction of said second portion of said bag is simultaneous to the consumption of the food packed inside said bag. 
     
     
         8 . The system as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said series of plurality of accordion folds get contracted in a direction of the alignment of said first portion and said second portion. 
     
     
         9 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said series of plurality of accordion folds varies the volume of said bag and facilitate insertion and consumption of food packed inside said bag. 
     
     
         10 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said bag further comprising:
 an outer layer, wherein said outer layer of said bag acts as an interface for a consumer to hold and is the visible surface of said bag and visually manipulated to enhance the look and feel of the packaging; and   an inner layer, wherein said inner layer is an interior region of the bag and is not visible to the person holding said bag.   
     
     
         11 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein design of said bag provides wide portions in said bag to catch various toppling foods. 
     
     
         12 . A system for packaging forming a bag, said bag comprising:
 a first portion;   a second portion having a plurality of accordion folds, wherein said series of plurality of accordion folds allow variations in the length of said second portion, said plurality of said accordion folds of said second portion comprises a series of evenly spaced and parallel plates with alternating raised and recessed folds; and   a third portion having a base to support said bag, wherein width of said first portion and width of said third portion is more than said width of the second portion, wherein said base provides the closing to said bag to hold food to be packed inside said bag, wherein said second portion is positioned between said first portion and said third portion, and wherein said series of plurality of accordion folds of said second portion allows said bag to transition from an expanded state to a contracted state and said contracted state to said expanded state.   
     
     
         13 . The system as recited in  claim 12 , wherein length of said second portion decreases when a subset of said series of plurality of accordion folds get contracted. 
     
     
         14 . The system as recited in  claim 12 , wherein said length of said second portion decreases when said series of plurality of accordion folds get contracted in same ratio. 
     
     
         15 . The system as recited in  claim 12 , wherein said length of said second portion decreases when said series of plurality of accordion folds get contracted in different ratio. 
     
     
         16 . The system as recited in  claim 12 , wherein said contraction of said second portion of said bag is simultaneous to the consumption of the food packed inside said bag. 
     
     
         17 . The system as recited in  claim 12 , wherein said series of plurality of accordion folds get contracted in a direction of the alignment of said first portion and said second portion. 
     
     
         18 . The system as recited in  claim 12 , wherein said series of plurality of accordion folds varies the volume of said bag and facilitate insertion and consumption of food packed inside said bag. 
     
     
         19 . The system as recited in  claim 12 , wherein said bag further comprising:
 an outer layer, wherein said outer layer of said bag acts as an interface for a consumer to hold and is the visible surface of said bag and visually manipulated to enhance the look and feel of the packaging; and   an inner layer, wherein said inner layer is an interior region of the bag and is not visible to the person holding said bag.
