5. A cut-away side view of a package having the assembly shown in
Figure 5 as the reclosable sealing system is shown in Miller Figure 2, which
is shown below:
{Miller Figure 2 is said to depict a package according to Miller's invention.}
6. According to Miller, "[t]he pressure sensitive adhesive used in
layer 13 [sic: 12] is of a well known type. Such adhesives have a high
degree of tackiness at room temperature and consequently bond almost
instantly when pressed with slight pressure against almost any surface."
(Miller at 3:24–28.)
7. Miller teaches that:
[t]he release material used in layer 5 also represents a well
known category of materials. It is a smooth-surfaced, non-
fibrous material to which the pressure sensitive layer 5 [sic: 12]
adheres but from which it may be lifted manually. Materials of
this type are frequently used as a coating on the back of
pressure sensitive adhesive tape which is wound into rolls. It
forms a sufficiently strong bond to prevent the roll from coming
part and yet not so strong as to interfere with unwinding the
roll."
(Miller at 3:41–49.)
