Definitions
- the invention relates to a resealable waterproof bag with opening by A tear according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a bag resealable composed of a synthetic material tablecloth whose edges longitudinal are linked by a weld to form a sheath, the edges of which transverse are closed by transverse welds and whose wall front has a snap closure.
- This closure includes two elements provided with complementary connecting means which can be disengaged to form an opening, and be reengaged later. These elements are arranged inside the bag against a tear-off tab Pluck.
- the bag can be closed by re-engaging the means complementary to the closure.
- the bag is perfectly waterproof, since its content is generally intended for fast consumption, for certain applications it is however desirable that this content cannot be altered by air or external humidity, between the bag filling phase and its first opening.
- this type of closure is not perfectly waterproof due to even of its structure and its method of installation. Indeed, despite their latching, the two elements of the closure do not have a sufficient air and moisture tightness entering the bag through the perforations of the tearable cutout.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy this by providing a waterproof bag, easily opened the first time over a limited length and capable of being closed after the first opening.
- the cutout is completely covered by the fragment to adhesive which thus forms a barrier guaranteeing the airtightness of the bag and moisture.
- the cutout is arranged laterally on one side of the junction area of the two reclosable closure elements, while the breakpoint is on the opposite side.
- the sheet or at least the outer layer of this tablecloth is made of a synthetic material easily tearable and, for example, composed of a polyolefin and a ionomer.
- the traction on the tear-off tab causes, by the cutting, the initiation of rupture of the plastics material easily tearable up to the point of stopping.
- the sheet is composed an outer layer of synthetic material which can be weakened by a beam laser and at least one other layer of a material which cannot be broken down by this bundle, and comprises, at least in the extension of the cutout and to the breakpoint, two lines of spaced microperforations produced by laser beam in the only outer layer of the web.
- the pulling of the tongue leads, by cutting, breaking the intervals between microperforations, and breaking the others layers of the tablecloth.
- the cutout is arranged at middle of the junction area of the two closable closing elements, while the breakpoints are formed by the ends of two lines microperforations, made in the outer layer of the web, on the one hand and on the other side of the cut, above the junction area of the two elements closure and constituting lines of weakness.
- the bag is made at from a tablecloth 2, simple or multilayer with at least the layer exterior is made of easily tearable synthetic material and for example, composed of a polyolefin and an ionomer.
- tablecloths and films are well known to those skilled in the art for their tearability, and it is not necessary to specify more the composition which varies according to manufacturers.
- the sheet is shaped into a sheath with connection of its longitudinal edges by means of a longitudinal weld 3.
- This sheath is then closed by a lower transverse weld 4 for form a pocket which, after filling, is closed by a weld upper transverse 5, juxtaposed or not, to a strip 6 forming handle.
- This headband, or the top of the bag is cut from the sheath during realization of the lower transverse weld 4 concerning the following bag.
- This bag is equipped with a reclosable closure composed of two elements 7 and 8 which, snapping into each other, are welded transversely at 7a and 8a against the internal face of the bag. These elements are, of course, arranged transversely near the upper weld 5.
- the bag comprises, in its part covering the junction zone 11 of the two elements 7 and 8 and near one of the sides of this zone, a 5 cutout 9 and, near the other side of the same area, a breakpoint 10.
- the cutout 9 is shaped semicircle whose concavity is facing the breakpoint 10. This semicircle is extended by two branches 9a, 9b which are substantially parallel between them and parallel to the junction zone 11 of the elements 7 and 8. In a variant not shown, this cut is in the shape of a cross or half cross.
- the breakpoint 10 is formed by a longitudinal weld not not extending beyond the junction zone of the two elements 7 and 8, but the length L is greater than the interval D between the two branches 9a, 9b of the cutting.
- the cutout 9 is covered by a fragment of adhesive tape 12 comprising, at its end which is opposite the stopping point 10, a tear-off tab 13, that is to say a tab whose face 13a is not covered with glue.
- Cutting 9 and welding 10 are carried out on the web 2 before conformation of the bag, and the fragment 12 of adhesive tape is placed on the cutting, before welding of elements 7 and 8 of the reclosable closure.
- This simple device seals the bag, while allowing to obtain a frank and clean opening, of length adapted to the needs.
- the web 2 is composed of an outer layer 2a which can be weakened by a laser beam, and by example in biaxially oriented polypropylene, polyester terephthalate, polyamide bioriented, and at least one other layer 2b which cannot be weakened by the same laser beam and, for example polyolefins. So when making by this bundle of microperforations 16, spaced apart to form dotted lines, only the outer layer 2a is affected. In this way, the inner layer or the other layers of the bag are not affected and ensure the sealing moisture.
- the microperforations are carried out as an extension of the branches of the cutout 9 which, as shown in FIG. 5, can also be produced by microperforations to suppress the cutting operation.
- the adhesive fragment 12 does not act on the tightness of the cut but remains the driving element generating the creation tear lines.
- the web 2 is also composed of an outer layer 2a which can be weakened by a beam laser and at least one non-embrittable layer 2b.
- the “U” cut 19 is delimited by perforations and is arranged in the middle of the junction 11 of the two elements 7 and 8 of the closure and at 90 ° relative to the previous embodiments, i.e. so as to be pulled longitudinally with respect to the bag 2 and not transversely.
- the ends of the cutout 19 are juxtaposed to the inner ends of two microperforation lines 20, produced by laser beam only in layer 2a of the sheet, and locally weakening the sheet, substantially above the junction zone 11.
- the cutout 19 is covered by a fragment 12 of adhesive tape with tear-off tab 13, closing the perforations in the cutout 19 and guaranteeing the waterproofness of the bag, while allowing its first opening.
- This first opening is carried out by pulling the tab 13 to tear the cut 19 to the microperforation lines 20 which yield, at less in their parts under the adhesive fragment 12. At this point it is possible to insert one or more fingers into the opening created for separate elements 7 and 8 from the closure and open the bag. Under these forces perpendicular to the sheets, the weakening lines give way to their outer ends 20a, forming a breakpoint, and allow access to content.
