Definitions

  • the invention relates to an infusion bag, in particular for tea, which has a head part with folded corners and a folded middle part on which a thread with two free ends is attached, which is from one side of the Headboard through a hole forming one on the other side of the headboard arranged loop is passed through and returned, the two free ends from below through the one placed over the top edge of the infusion bag Loop are pulled through and form a knot by tightening.
  • the invention further relates to a method for closing at the head end closed corners and subsequently folded middle part closed Infusion bag, especially for tea, preferably by one on the other End the thread to be labeled with two needles.
  • German utility model 296 13 448 is the thread applied to the head part of the infusion bag by means of a separate fastening thread attached. This connection of the thread end with the infusion bag cannot withstand higher loads procedurally complex.
  • a thread closure is also known from EP 0 691 268, in which a only hole in the head part of the infusion bag a needle is passed through captured a thread behind it and through the opening to form a Pulls back the loop, which is then used to form a knot.
  • the disadvantage here is that it is not ensured that the folded corners and the middle part of the head part folded over with each other and with the bag the thread connection are detected and connected by the knot formed become.
  • the closure is even with high manufacturing precision when folding, Punching and not sufficiently secure when threading.
  • the invention has for its object to ensure a secure fixation of the folded parts of an infusion bag with each other and with the bag itself by a thread connection that can be easily attached with little technical effort at high production speed.
  • the loop is preferably formed from cross-over thread parts, a short and a long thread end can be provided, in particular for attaching labels to the long thread end, and wherein to increase the security of the knot the short thread end in the preferred embodiment in the cross-over thread parts the loop is arranged beneath the long thread end against the bag wall.
  • the invention provides a secure fixation of the folded corners and of the middle part folded over them with each other and with the bag, a simplified manufacture resulting from the fact that the comparatively thick and thus difficult to machine central longitudinal seam of conventional bags does not have to be pierced or perforated .
  • the connection itself through the knot is doubly secured against loosening by the spaced two holes and the separate passage of the thread ends, so that even if one thread end should come loose from the loop, the knot through the second thread end and the additional looping thereby provided holds securely.
  • the procedural solution to the problem of the invention is in further development of the known method mentioned in the introduction characterized in that the end of the thread in a loop over a Recess of a holder is placed that the head part of the infusion bag in the Holder is inserted and the loop of the thread here around the The top edge of the infusion bag places the thread on its free one End and at its long, continuous part by two the folded over Parts penetrating holes in the head part is detected and the free end as well continuous part first in a loop and then completely out of the Infusion bags are pulled out and that the wrapping of the thread finally tightened by train in particular on its continuous part becomes.
  • the holder For grasping the thread, two are preferably below the closed part of the loop needles penetrating the infusion bag used, the holder having guide openings for the needles can. To pull the thread through, it must be on the continuous part be cut off at the latest before the needles are withdrawn.
  • the continuous part forms such a long thread end that for label attachment can be used.
  • the method according to the invention closes the folded head part of the Infusion bag only with the help of the thread, so it is not on one Guide instructed.
  • the thread is through the needles through the head part of the Infusion bag pulled or pushed, the bracket guide openings contains for the needles.
  • the needles only lead to a simple movement Piercing the head part of the infusion bag so that a simple and faster movement is possible. Punch the headboard beforehand the infusion bag is unnecessary.
  • the bag head is through the two stitches securely closed to the right and left of the center, including the folded corners be fixed.
  • the attachment can be done in a continuous process be carried out when the machine is running smoothly and in large quantities.
  • the Knot loosens due to the frictional forces even under low pretension means easy tightening, not.
  • the infusion bag 1 shown in FIGS. 1a to 1c is initially shown in FIG. 1c on its head part 6 by folding the corners 1a and 1b and then Fold the middle part 1c closed, so that it is inside the chamber located substrate, especially tea, can not emerge. Subsequently the infusion bag 1 according to FIGS. 2a to 9b with a thread closure 7th provided, the construction of which in particular Fig. 1b can be easily removed.
  • For Formation of the thread closure 7 are two in the head part 6 with lateral Distance next to each other to the left and right of the longitudinal axis of the bag Holes 8 and 9 formed, each a folded corner 1a and 1b and that Reach through the middle part 1c of the head part 6.
  • FIG. 1c in the head part 6 of the infusion bag 1 with the middle part 1c not yet folded over A total of four recesses are provided after folding the middle section 1c correspond in pairs with each other and the one with the same axis Form holes 8 and 9.
  • the thread closure 7 also has a thread 3, which forms a Loop 3a with one end 3b through one hole 9 and with its the other end 3c is guided through the second hole 8, the loop 3a on the front of the bag 1 in the drawing and the ends 3b and 3c themselves located on the back of the bag 1 in the drawing.
  • the loop is over placed the top edge 10 of the infusion bag 1 and the two ends 3b and 3c of the Thread 3 are guided from below through the loop 3a.
  • a double secured knot 11 is formed, the corners 1a and 1b and the central part 1c of the head part 6 in the closed position fixed with each other and with the infusion bag.
  • the infusion bag 1 is in accordance with 2a and 2b with its closed head part 6 in a recess 2a a holder 2 inserted.
  • the holder 2 is in the recess 2a
  • Thread 3 has been laid in the form of a loop 3a, which is best shown in Fig. 2b is recognizable.
  • the free end 3b of the loop 3a lies together with the continuous part 3c of the thread 3 on one side of the recess 2a, whereas the closed part of the loop 3a on the other side of the Recess 2a rests on the holder 2.
  • the loop 3a is through the top edge of the infusion bag 1 pressed into the recess 2a, so that it wraps around the edge of the head.
  • FIGS. 3a and 3b penetrate two needles 4, which in FIGS. 2a and 2b in the Starting position are drawn below the loop 3a in the head part of the Infusion bag. They capture with theirs trained on the bottom Barb 4a (see Fig. 2a) on the one hand the free end 3b and on the other hand that continuous part 3c of the thread 3, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b.
  • part 3c that is, the long one Pull the thread end of the thread 3 completely out of the infusion bag 1. This is done, for example, by further transport of the infusion bag 1, so that the remaining part of the continuous part 3c of the thread 3 completely through the Loop 3a is pulled through. By applying a certain pulling force on continuous part 3c of the thread 3 is finally the loop tightened so that the situation shown in Figs. 5a and 5b results.
  • FIGS. 6a to 9b For attaching a label 5 shown in FIGS. 6a to 9b to the other
  • the end of the thread 3 is at its end 3e according to FIGS. 6a and 6b one side of the label 5 is placed.
  • the label 5 is pierced and the thread 3rd detected at its thread end 3e.
  • the thread end 3e is shown in FIGS. 7a and 7b in the form of a loop 3f pulled through the label 5.
