Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging bag for articles placed side by side, in particular for diapers, and a method for the making of this bag.
  • a plastic bag from of a continuous film of synthetic material, this film being, at the time of constitution of the bag, folded so as to present two parallel walls and a inner fold along one of its longitudinal edges, so that it presents, seen at the end, a section in the shape of an "M".
  • the bag is made up of arranging two transverse welds on the film and cutting this film beyond these welds. Spacers then come open the bag thus formed while other organs introduce compressed diapers in the bag. The bottom of the bag is then closed by welding or gluing the side walls of the bag.
  • a strip of synthetic material can be put in place the inside of said inner ply and can be welded to the film by points of welding, this strip being intended to constitute a carrying handle for the bag.
  • Some bags of the same type receive a material transparent synthetic added on their upper part, which forms a carrying handle.
  • International application W092 / 21582 shows such a bag.
  • the existing handle systems on this type of bag are considered to be subject to improvement, as regards in particular their possibilities of use by consumers, their use implemented at the time of the bag's manufacture or their capacity to receive information and / or other decorations.
  • the present invention aims to provide a bag packaging for articles placed side by side, in particular for diapers, including a handle system improved from this point of view.
  • This bag is of the aforementioned type, comprising a carrying handle from the bag.
  • the bag comprises at least a second synthetic band, placed at the time of constitution of the bag, parallel to and against the other strip, these two strips extending over only part of the length of the bag; one of these strips is connected by one of its longitudinal ends to one of the walls forming said inner fold while the other strip is connected by its longitudinal end adjacent to the other of the walls forming said fold inside, and the two bands are connected to each other by their others longitudinal ends.
  • the latter can be used to hang the bag on the hook that usually includes a department store cart, or to receive a decoration.
  • Said bands can be independent of each other and be simply welded or glued to each other at the time of bag making; this welding or this bonding can be carried out before putting the strips on the film, or when this set up.
  • These same bands can also be formed by transverse folding of a primary strip, and are thus connected to each other by the continuity of the material of said primary strip at cross fold level; any joining of the two strips to each other is therefore eliminated.
  • the bands are preferably connected to the bag in one location longitudinally set back from the location of said transverse welds, so as not to interfere with the holding of these welds transverse to the film.
  • the bag can advantageously include a line of precut passing near the ends of the bands which are fixed on it, this line delimiting a flap for opening / closing the bag and said ends being integral with this flap.
  • These bands can be used to pull on said flap in order to easily and quickly separate this flap from the rest of the wall of the bag.
  • At least one of the bands integral with said flap can include a "repositionable" adhesive, that is to say suitable for allowing several collages / takeoffs of this strip relative to the bag.
  • This adhesive keeps these strips against the wall of the bag before the first opening of this bag then to maintain said flap in closed position, by gluing the strip (s) against the wall of the bag.
  • the bag includes, in addition to the two aforementioned bands, two other bands attached to it on its side opposite to that on which the two bands are located mentioned above, these two other bands being connected to the bag by one of their longitudinal ends and being connected to each other by their others longitudinal ends, as mentioned above.
  • the bag thus includes two pairs of bands located in two locations near its ends, forming two handles. One of these handles, or both, can be used for gripping the bag.
  • the bag may include a precut line and / or a repositionable adhesive as above, so that the handle connected to the flap can be used as pull tab and / or bag closure, as previously stated.
  • the strips of the two pairs of bands are joined together at the level of their free ends by a junction zone, this zone comprising a frangible portion, in particular a pre-cut line.
  • the two pairs of strips thus extend along the wall top of the bag before the first opening of the latter, and constitute a handle allowing the gripping of the bag in various ways.
  • the bag is opened by separating the free ends of the two pairs of bands, at the level of said frangible portion, and in using one of these pairs of bands as a pull tab for tear the wall of the bag.
  • the method also comprises an operation consisting to connect these two free ends of the strips to one another.
  • These bands can in particular be made of a material coextruded comprising a layer of polyethylene and a layer of polypropylene.
  • Figure 1 shows a portion of an elongated synthetic film 1 and two bands 2, 3 made of synthetic material.
  • the film 1 comprises two parallel walls 5 and an inner fold the along one of its longitudinal edges, formed by two walls 6, 7.
  • the film 1 thus has a section in the shape of an "M”, visible by the section transverse of the film 1 shown in FIG. 1.
  • the film 1 is cut beyond the welds 10 to individualize a bag 15 as shown in Figure 2, this bag 15 having two longitudinal walls 16, comprising the welds 10, two walls side 17 and a top wall 18.
  • This bag is filled by mechanized operations, consisting of open the bag 15 and engage the articles to be packaged in this bag, especially diapers. These items are compressed before introduction into the bag so that they hold the walls 16 to 18 tense.
  • the bottom of the bag 15 is then closed by flap parts remaining and bonding or welding of these parts to each other.
  • the ends 2a, 3a are placed side by side substantially in the plane of the wall 16 and are substantially perpendicular to the plane in which the ends 2b, 3b, at line 11.
  • the two bands 2, 3 are thus each twisted over a quarter of turn, which tends to separate them from each other. They are a handful 20 gripping the bag, and the space between them due to their twisting facilitates the introduction by a consumer of one or more fingers or thumb to grab the bag 15.
  • FIG. 3 represents a bag comprising two pairs of bands 2, 3 constituting two handles 20.
  • the bands 2, 3 of a pair of strips are fixed to film 1 in the aforementioned manner, close to the location of one of the welds 10 while the strips 2, 3 of the other pair of bands are fixed to film 1, also in the aforementioned manner, at proximity to the other weld 10.
  • the bag 15 includes a precut line 25 arranged transversely on the wall 18 and extending over a part walls 17, and passing close to the zone for fixing the strips 2, 3 of a handle 20.
  • the two handles 20 can be used individually or simultaneously to carry the bag 15, and the line 25 delimits a flap 26 opening / closing of the bag 15.
  • the handle 20 integral with this flap 26 can be used as a pull tab to easily tear the wall of bag 15 at line 25, so that access to articles is easy and quick to make.
  • the strips of this handle 20 may include an adhesive repositionable allowing the flap 26 to be kept in the closed position and thus protecting the articles remaining in the bag 15.
  • FIG. 4 represents a bag 15 also comprising two tape pairs 2, 3, each of which is attached to film 1 in the manner cited above.
  • the bands 2, 3 are joined together at their free ends, by a weld zone 11, this zone 11 comprising a transverse precut line 30.
  • This bag 15 includes a precut line 25 similar to the above.
  • the two pairs of bands 2, 3 extend, before the first opening of the bag 15, along the wall 18 and thus constitute a handle allowing gripping of the bag 15 in various ways.
  • the two pairs of bands 2, 3 are separated by tearing at line 30, so that the pair of strips 2, 3 secured to the flap 26 can be used as a pull tab to open the bag 15, and / or as a pull tab closing of the bag 15, as indicated above.
  • the invention thus provides a packaging bag for placed articles. side by side, especially for diapers, to remedy to the disadvantages of bags homologous to the prior art.
  • this bag includes an improved handle system from the point of view in particular the possibilities of use of this system by consumers, bag making or bag capacity to receive information and / or other decorations.
  • bands 2, 3 may be formed by transverse folding of a primary strip, and thus be connected to each other by the continuity of the material of said strip primary at the transverse fold; in the case of the bag shown in the figure 4, the two pairs of strips 2, 3 can be formed by assembly of two longitudinal primary bands, having a corresponding length to that of the bag and intended to be connected by their ends, to said film, one of these longitudinal primary bands constituting two of the bands 2 pairs of bands and one of these longitudinal primary bands constituting the other two bands 3 of these pairs of bands, these two longitudinal primary bands being joined to each other apart of their ends assembled to the film; the precut 30 can be arranged at the level of the portion by which these two primary bands longitudinal are assembled to each other; this assembly and this pre-cutting can be done before the bands are placed in said inner ply, or, alternatively, these two primary bands longitudinal may have an arcuate shape in the longitudinal direction so
