- Figure 20 is a schematic illustration of the method according to an advantageous embodiment.
- Figure 21 is a schematic illustration of the method according to a particularly advantageous embodiment.
- the bag 1 according to the invention is consti ⁇ killed by a heat-sealable plastic, and in particular by polyethylene.
- This bag has in each of its two walls 2 a zone 3, close to its opening 4, in which a cutout 5 is formed forming a handle.
- This handle cutout can be, among other things, of the semi-carried type or completely cut out.
- this is reinforced, on the one hand, by a fold 6 folded over the wall 2 to form one of the edges 7 of the opening 4 of the bag 1, the edge free 8 of the fold being disposed on the other side of the cutout 5 that the edge 7 of the opening of the bag, and, on the other hand, by a reinforcement 9 produced for example from a portion of flat material, advantageously cut in the shape of a rectangle.
- This reinforcement 9 is associated with the bag, in a manner which will be described later, in order to be disposed between the fold 6 folded over the wall 2 and the latter.
- the dimensions of this reinforcement are greater than the corresponding dimensions of the contour 10 of the cutout 5 forming the handle and the position of the reinforcement is determined so that the cutout 5 is entirely located there. So that . the reinforcement is complete, the invention provides that the fold 6 folded over the wall is fixed, in 10 'to the latter at least along its free edge 8, facing the cutout 5, over a distance at least equal to the dimension of this cut taken parallel to the bottom 14 of the bag.
- the reinforcement 9, associated with the bag and located between the fold folded over the wall 2 and the latter will be fixed, as the case may be, to the fold 6 ( Figures 2, 4 and 7) or to the wall 2 ( Figures 3, 5 and 8 ). It can also (FIG. 6) have a larger dimension than in the previous figures and be fixed to the fold 6 and to the wall 2 and then folded up during the formation of the fold 6, this in order to obtain an even greater reinforcement.
- the reinforcement 9 is constituted by a heat-sealable material compatible with the material constituting the walls 2 and the folds 6, it can advantageously be welded to the wall and / or to the fold. Because, on the one hand, this weld is applied to a large surface of the reinforcement 9 and that, on the other hand, the reinforcement and the wall 2 or the fold 6 do not have the same thickness and possibly do not consist by the same material, the wall gathered at the place of this weld. To hide the phenomenon, we choose the arrangement of Figure 3 for which the reinforcement 9, being attached to the wall 2 of the bag, the weld mark is hidden inside the bag.
- the fixing of the fold 6 to the wall 2 is usually carried out by a weld 13, the latter consisting either of weld points or advantageously in a weld line. This does not cause significant deformation of the wall because the weld 13 combines two materials (wall and fold) identical from the point of view of their characteristics and their thicknesses.
- This weld 6 will preferably be arranged parallel to the free edge 8 of the fold, the latter normally being cut straight along a parallel to the bottom 14 of the bag.
- the reinforcement 9 consists partly of a material such as cardboard and partly of a heat-sealable material or entirely of a heat-sealable material compatible with the heat-sealable material of the fold 6 or of the wall 2.
- the reinforcement having a sufficient dimension B and being suitably arranged, can be joined, in its heat-sealable part, to the wall 2 and to the fold 6 by the weld 13 fixing the fold to the wall 2 (FIGS. 7 and 8). . This is added to the aforementioned fixing of the reinforcement to the wall or to the fold to ensure greater solidity of the reinforcement zone.
- the reinforcement 9 ( Figures 2 to 5) will have a dimension B, taken perpendicularly to the edge 7 of the opening of the bag, less than the distance taken between said edge 7 and the weld 13.
- the reinforcement 9 may be fixed to the wall 2 or to the fold 6 of the reinforcement zone 3 so as to be located away from the weld 13.
- the weld 13 extends from one edge 17 of the bag to the other, it is easier to make since it combines the same two materials from one end to the other (fold
- bags 1 there are inter alia bags called bags with lateral welds ( Figures 12, 14 and 16). These latter bags are produced from a sheet of plastic material folded in half, the fold 13 'thus obtained forms the bottom 14 of the bag (FIG. 13).
- the two walls 2 constituted by a portion of the plastic sheet are fixed to each other, along each of their edges 17 contiguous to the bottom 14 formed by the fold 13 ', by a weld 18 well known from the skilled person.
- the welds are inter alia bags called bags with lateral welds.
- the welds 16 transverse or perpendicular to the edge 7 of the opening 4 are advantageously made by the side welds 18 of the bag.
- the welds 16 may however complement these lateral welds 18, and be located between the latter and the handle cutout 5.
- the bottom 14 of the bag 1 can be formed by a fold
- the cutout 5 serving as a handle for the bags 1 is placed at equal distance from the edges 17 contiguous to the bottom 14 of the bag, the reinforcement also being practically at equal distance from these edges 17.
- the cutout 5 and the reinforcement 9 of each wall 2 are deliberately offset so as to be closer to one of the edges 17 (FIG. 16). This makes it possible to transport objects protruding from the bag along the edge 17 opposite the first cited edge.
- the bag according to FIG. 1 can be a bag the bottom of which is formed by a weld connecting the two walls 2, the lateral edges 17 being formed by the folds joining the two walls 2 and obtained for example by extrusion and blowing of the plas material ⁇ tick.
- the bags shown in Figures 9 to 11 are models that can also be applied to bottom weld bags. The side edges of these bottom welded bags have bellows in an advantageous embodiment of the bag according to the invention.
- the invention provides ( Figures 17 and 18) a method of manufacturing the bag 1 described above. This process applies either in the case of a bag already formed or for a bag in the process of being formed, regardless of whether the bag has a bottom weld or lateral welds.
- the method consists, in order to reinforce the zone 3 of each wall 2 where a cutout 5 is used as a handle, to present at 55 a pair of reinforcements 9, which have already been defined above, near the edges free 21 ( Figure 19) of the walls of the bag arranged flat, the method of manufacturing said reinforcements 9 being known per se.
- a reinforcement 9 of the pair is simultaneously fixed to each corresponding wall 2 of the bag so as to be associated with this wall 2 to occupy the position provided between the folded fold 6 below and the wall 2.
- This fixing can be obtained by gluing of the reinforcement 9 to the wall 2 or, if the reinforcement 9 consists of a heat-sealable plastic material compatible with the material of the bag, it can be welded to this wall 2 over a large part of its surface. Then the above fold 6 is formed simultaneously at 57 along the free edge 21 of each wall 2 and the two folds 6 are folded simultaneously at 58 'on their corresponding wall 2. These two folds 6 can be folded down either on the external face 11 of their corresponding wall 2 or on the internal face 12 of the latter. One could also if necessary fold down one of the two folds on the outer face 11 and the other on the inner face 12 of their wall 2 correspon ⁇ dante.
- each reinforcement 9 is located, on at least a large part of its surface, between the wall 2 and the corresponding fold 6.
- Each of the folded folds 6 is fixed simultaneously (at 59) to the corresponding wall 2 over a distance at least equal to the size of the cutouts 5, forming the handles, taken parallel to the bottom of the bag, this fixing being done along the free edge 8 of the fold 6, opposite said cut 5, between the latter and the free edge 8 of the folded fold.
- This fixing will advantageously consist of a weld 13. According to the dimensions and the relative positions of the folds and the reinforcements, the fold 6 is thus welded to the wall.
- the reinforcement 9 is welded to the fold 6 and to the wall 2 in the zone of said reinforcement (FIGS. 7 and 8) and optionally outside this zone, welds the folded fold 6 to the corresponding wall 2.
- the cutouts 5 serving as handles are practiced in the reinforcement zone 3 of each of the two walls 2 thus formed and comprising the wall 2, the reinforcement 9 and the folded fold 6 on the wall 2.
- the method more specifically comprises the following operations integrated in the course of the formation of said bag 1.
- a plastic strip 51 consisting of two thicknesses 52 (FIG. 19) superimposed which are joined by a fold 53 forming one of the longitudinal edges of the ribbon, this fold 53 being intended to constitute the funds 14 of the bags.
- This ribbon 51 can be obtained in different ways. We can take a single thickness material that we fold in half. One can also use a ribbon made up of two thicknesses 52, linked together by a fold along each of the edges of these two thicknesses.
- Such a tape is obtained by extrusion, blowing and winding after flattening the hose thus formed for plastics such as polyethylene.
- one of the two folds formed during the flattening of the hose is cut to serve as an opening to the bag while the second fold 53 is kept to constitute the bottoms 14 of the bags.
- Each step of the aforementioned step-by-step movement corresponds to the dimension L of a bag to be produced, this dimension being taken parallel to the above fold 53 forming the bottom 14 of the bag.
- This step-by-step movement makes it possible to carry out operations during a cyclic stopping time of the ribbon 51.
- the two thicknesses forming the ribbon are separated at 54 from one another.
- This reinforcement 9 can be fixed either using of an adhesive either by means of a weld, made over a large part of its surface. Bonding is preferably done by coating the fixing face of the reinforcement 9, using a product or a mixture of products which becomes adhesive after a drying time, and possibly reheating to activate this drying.
- the fixing being carried out, the strip of material 51 is given at 56 a continuous movement along its longitudinal axis and in the same direction as the above-mentioned stepwise movement.
- a fold 6 is formed at 57 along each free edge 52 ′ of the thicknesses 52 of said strip 51, the dimension C of this fold, taken perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the ribbon, being greater than the distance which separates the most distant edge, 58 from a reinforcement of the free edge 52 'of the corresponding thickness 52. Then, during this continuous movement of the ribbon 51, the folds 6 formed on the faces of the above-mentioned thicknesses which are turned towards each other and which will constitute the internal faces 12 of the walls of the bag are folded down.
- the fixing of the folds thus folded down to the corresponding walls can advantageously be carried out by a weld 13. This can be done either at 59, during the continuous movement of the aforementioned ribbon, or at 60 at each stop of the stepwise movement of this ribbon.
- a continuous weld will be effected for example for each wall, by an element 61 elongated in the direction of movement of the ribbon, electrically heated and radiating sufficient heat towards the ribbon in order to melt the wall 2 together and the fold 6 along the free edge 8 of the latter.
- the continuous movement of the ribbon 51 is first transformed into 62 into a step-by-step movement whose step is equal to that of the aforementioned step-by-step movement and in the same direction and the same direction as those of continuous movement.
- an element is brought against the fold 6 and the wall 2
- the two thicknesses 52 are joined at 66 by the action of at least one heated element and arranged perpenicularly in the direction of movement of the ribbon 51 and pressed momentarily against the two thicknesses 52 to perform a weld.
- This weld 18 obtained by heat and pressure produces the contiguous lateral edges 17 of two successive bags 1 during formation. This welding is carried out between two pairs of cuts 5, either at an equal distance from these two pairs of cuts (FIG. 12) or even at unequal distances from these two pairs if it is desired to obtain a bag as illustrated in FIG. figure 16.
- the bag in formation which is furthest downstream with respect to the direction of movement of the plastic tape is formed by this last welding operation and it is separated from the bag in formation, which is immediately adjacent to it, between its edge lateral 17 and the lateral edge 17 which is contiguous to it and which belongs to the last bag in formation.
- Another method of manufacturing a bag 1 according to the invention consists, in order to reinforce the bags being formed, in carrying out the same operations as those described above, namely: driving step by step and along its longitudinal axis a ribbon 51 of plastic material formed of two superimposed thicknesses 52 joined by a fold 53 forming one of the longitudinal edges of the ribbon 51 and intended to constitute the bottoms of the bags.
- Each step still corresponds to the dimension L of the bag to be manufactured.
- the two thicknesses 52 are separated from one another, and between these two thicknesses 52 separated, transverse to the longitudinal axis of the ribbon 51, is introduced at each step and either when the ribbon is in motion or at stop, a pair of reinforcements 9 whose dimension A is less than one step.
- the weld 13 is then produced, at each stop of the step by step, folds 6 folded over the thicknesses 53 to the latter, parallel to the free edges 8.
- the weld 13 is advantageously arranged to obtain either a bag according to FIGS. 4 and 5 where the reinforcement 9 is not fixed to the fold 6 and to the wall 2 by this weld 13, or a bag for example according to FIG. 7, for which the reinforcement 9 is fixed to the fold 6 and to the wall 2 by the welding 13. From this step, we find the steps already described in the previous process.
- the cutting 5 is practiced at 64 at each stop of the ribbon 51.
- the lateral edges 17 of the bag are formed by a weld at 66 at each stop of the ribbon 51 and a bag 1 is separated formed from the immediately adjacent bag that is being formed.
- one technique consists in making the weld 13 at each stop of the movement step by step while the cut 5 is made simultaneously in the two thicknesses 52.
- Another technique consists in making this weld 13 continuously while the ribbon 51 is moved continuously along its longitudinal axis to form the folds 6 and fold them over their corresponding thickness.
- the bag according to the invention is formed from a ribbon of single-thickness material 70 (FIG. 20 ) that is driven continuously, for example to unwind a coil on which it is stored.
- This movement is transformed into a step-by-step movement to place the reinforcements 9 at 71 along the two longitudinal edges 52 ′ of the ribbon and to fix them there at each stop of the step-by-step movement then the step-by-step movement of the ribbon 70 in one piece continuous vement better suited to the following operation which consists in folding in two the single thickness ribbon 70 along its longi ⁇ tudinal axis to obtain a double thickness ribbon.
- the following operations are those already described above and consist in forming and folding the folds 6, in fixing these folds 6, in cutting.
- the reinforcements 9 of a pair are communicated a speed substantially equal to the speed of the ribbon 70 so that they move in the same direction and the same direction as this ribbon 70 and the 'is fixed, either by gluing or by welding, the reinforcements 9 of a pair to the simple thickness of material during this common movement.
- the measurement is repeated to cyclically detect this length.
- the pairs of reinforcements 9 will be fixed along the edges 52 'so that the reinforcements located along the same edge are equidistant while the reinforcements of the same pair are opposite one another. Then, still during this same continuous movement, the folds 6 are formed in 72 so that they have a dimension
- the present invention also provides an installation for implementing the method or one of the methods described above.
- An installation according to the invention comprises (figures
- the installation described below is provided for making bags with lateral welds and it advantageously comprises, to reinforce the zone 3 of the walls 2, means 81 for animate the ribbon 51 with a translational movement in step by step (for example by a rack or sector system actuated by a device with connecting rod and crank) or continuously (for example by one or more motors with electronic control), means 75 for presenting the reinforcements in pairs, such as the rotary and suction table already mentioned , transversely to said longitudinal axis, along the two edges
- This installation also includes means 77 for forming a fold 6 along each of the edges 52 ′ and means 78 for folding this fold 6 over the corresponding wall so that the reinforcements 9 are located between the folded fold 6 on the wall and this last.
- These means 77 and 78 consist, when this folding is done during a continuous movement of the ribbon 51, of folding rods, folding plates and rollers guiding the walls and the folds.
- means 79 for fixing the folded folds 6 to their corresponding wall, by a continuous weld, during the continuous movement of the ribbon or by an alternative weld if the ribbon is moved step by step means 80 equipped with a knife, the shape of which can be chosen as a function of the form of cutout which it is desired to make for the handles, and means 82 comprising at least one heated element for carrying out, by heat and by pressure, the welding of the lateral edges 17 of the bags in formation perpendicular to the direction of movement of the tape 51 and of the means 82 ′ associated with the means for welding the lateral edges, like a knife housed between two heated elements for welding, and intended to separate a bag formed of a bag in formation.
- the means 82 for carrying out the welding and the means for carrying out the separation may be only one heated element, arranged perpendicular to the direction of movement of the tape 51, for welding and for separating. These two means for welding the lateral edges and for separating a formed bag are moved back and forth so that they are in contact with the tape 51 at each stop of the latter and so that they deviate from it before the ribbon 51 is set in motion by the step by step.
- a step taken by this training corresponds to the dimension L of the bag to be manufactured.
- the installation also includes, at 54, means not shown, consisting for example of rods, for spreading the two thicknesses 52 from one another, over a distance greater than the dimension A of the reinforcements, so that the means 75 which introduce the reinforcements 9 between the thicknesses 52 do so without the reinforcements 9 and or the thicknesses 52 interfering and deforming by being pushed one against the other.
- means 76 for fixing by welding comprise a heated element which is pressed against the strip and the reinforcement to melt them together at least along weld lines distributed over a large surface of the reinforcement.
- means 84 Downstream of these means for welding the reinforcements in the direction of movement of the ribbon 51, means 84, such as motorized drive rollers, are provided to communicate a continuous movement at constant speed to the ribbon 51 and in the same direction as the step by step movement. During this continuous displacement, means
- each of these folds 6 is welded continuously, during the movement continuous of the ribbon 51, by means 85 which consist for example of heated and curved elements 61 each radiating sufficient heat towards a thickness and its associated ply, along a line parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ribbon 51, the thicknesses and their fold being stretched over a passage cylinder 60 'whose diameter matches the radius of bending of the elements 61 to create a determined air gap between an element 61 and a cylinder.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of the installation according to the invention comprises, for the manufacture of bags with lateral welds according to FIGS. 12, 14 and 16, the same means as those defined for the above installation, up to and including those which fix the reinforcements 9.
- This other embodiment of the installation therefore comprises the means 83 for driving the ribbon 51 in double thickness step by step, the means not shown for spreading the two thicknesses 52 at 54 from one another, the means 75 for introducing the reinforcements 9 between the thicknesses 52 and the means 76 for welding the reinforcements 9 to the corresponding thickness 52. Downstream of these means for welding the reinforcements 9, the step-by-step movement is preserved, in order to present the strip in double thickness to the means which follow.
- the ribbon 51 is brought in step by step to means 77 which form a fold along the free edge (52 ′) of the two thicknesses 52 of the ribbon 51.
- These means can be rods placed on the passage of said free edges in case these folds are formed during the movement of the step by step.
- These means 77 can be parts marking the fold at the stop of the step by step.
- Means 78 fold the two folds 6 thus formed over the corresponding thickness 52 either during the movement of the step by step, in case they may consist of rods deforming the edge to fold the fold, or during the stopping of the step by step, for example if these means are pliers which at each stop take the folds to fold them over the corresponding thickness.
- the ribbon is brought to the means 79 which weld the folds 6 to the thickness corresponding to each stop of the step by step.
- These means generally consist of two heated elements, each being pressed at each stop of the strip 51, against a fold 6 and the corresponding thickness for welding them and forming the weld 13; the elements are put away from the fold and the thickness before the ribbon is set in motion.
- the step-by-step movement brings the area for reinforcing the thicknesses 52 of the ribbon 51 to the location of the means 80. From these means 80 for cutting 5 in the reinforcement areas 3, the description is identical to that of the 'previous installation.
- Another particularly advantageous embodiment of the installation comprises (FIG. 21) means for continuously driving, along its longitudinal axis, a ribbon 70 in simple thickness, for example wound on a coil not shown.
- the ribbon 70 is thus brought at 71 opposite known means which have, transversely to said longitudinal axis, pairs of reinforcements, a reinforcement 9 of each pair being disposed near one of the free edges 52 '.
- Means not shown such as a meter or a pulse counter and an encoder, are arranged to measure the passage of a length of tape 70 corresponding to the dimension L of a bag, taken parallel to the abovementioned longitudinal axis.
- these means detect the passage of a length L, on the one hand, they reset to zero to measure a new identical length and, on the other hand, they give each detection, a signal that is used to communicate , at each reinforcement of each pair, a speed equal to the speed of the ribbon 70 in the same direction and in the same direction as the latter by means not shown, for example constituted by rubberized rollers driven momentarily at each signal, and to fix by means not shown each reinforcement to the simple thickness of material
- the reinforcement being for example coated with glue, will be applied to the tape by these fixing means which can be an applicator and presser element.
- These means communicating a speed to the reinforcements 9 and these fixing means are arranged and arranged so that the reinforcements of the same pair are opposite one another.
- the ribbon being always driven continuously, folds are formed along its two free edges 52 ', at 72, using folding rods arranged on the passage of said free edges. Complementary rods fold the folds 6 formed on the ribbon 70 at 73 in single thickness so that the reinforcements
- this device generally comprises a passage cylinder 60 ′ and a heated and curved element 61 by fold to be welded.
- a single passage cylinder 60 ′ is sufficient and a heated and curved element 61 is positioned at the location of each of the two fixings, of a fold and of the thickness, to be produced by welding.
- the folds 6 are fixed by a weld 1 3 to the thickness 70, the latter is folded in half at 71 'along its longitudinal axis by a provision known beach aid comprising a folding triangle and pinch rollers.
- the ribbon 70 folded to form a double thickness ribbon 51 is then animated with a step-by-step movement, in the same direction as the above-mentioned continuous movement, by means such as those bearing the reference 85 'in FIG. 17 and which consist of rubberized rollers controlled step by step for example by a sector having a reciprocating movement.
- This step-by-step movement is used to carry out, at each of its stops, the operations practicing cutting 5, forming the welding of the edges 17 and effecting the separation of a formed bag.
