Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bag made of plastic film according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Bags of this type are, in particular, to a large extent for the packaging of relatively large-sized hygiene articles such as toilet paper rolls, diapers, sanitary napkins u. Like. Used, which are often relatively light material and therefore allow large packages.
  • From the EP 0 425 008 A1 is a bag of paper material known to be filled cuboid and the wall material on the top side in a top seam is merged and forms a supernatant to a handle bar.
  • a removal opening is provided there on a transversely to the handle bar front side, are still arranged at the edge to the removal opening stiffeners. The stiffness of the material and the formation of the removal opening with edge stiffeners can not be transferred to a package made of plastic film with a thin wall thickness.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a bag made of thin plastic film, which is inexpensive to manufacture and with conventional mechanical means and for the storage and continued partial emptying of such a bag provides a coverable removal opening.
  • this object is achieved by the preamble of claim 1, starting by the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • This solution is based on a predetermined storage position an overhead top weld, which is already conventional in bags with an overhead handle bar and is readily provided in other bags in the context of common manufacturing techniques.
  • a film projection is already given with a previously known handle, which is usable for a cover flap. It is understood, however, that even if a handle bar is not provided, a film projection beyond the top seam outside of the filling space of the package can be provided independently of a handle bar.
  • the film projection can then form a cover flap for the removal opening as a whole.
  • a weakening line preferably a perforation line
  • the size of the cover flap can be suitably dimensioned so that it projects beyond the removal opening at several or all sides and then rests in edge strip areas on the edge of the removal opening.
  • a support supports the cover flap on the plastic film on the edge of the filling space and holds it with adhesive and frictional engagement on the edge of the film Medraumwandung.
  • the top seam forms the approach to a solid connection between the film surrounding the removal opening and the cover flap, on which the cover flap remains movable in the manner of a film hinge.
  • a smaller, not (multi-sided) over the removal opening projecting cover flap can be kept in the covering by a obtained with the opening of the removal opening foil lug, by a toothed edge shape of the removal opening or by adhesive strips in the covering position.
  • a film overhang may have a folded shape to reduce its dimension prior to use as a cover flap.
  • the folded shape is readily obtained when the film projection is already given with a handle bar, which is led out laterally on the bag over a narrower, usually centrally located, Griffloch Scheme, which then double-layered with a fold edge on the top of the top seam and after tearing open a cover flap from the originally double-layered handle strip is stretched flat over the removal opening.
  • Plastic films of this type are generally produced as a monofilm of polyethylene or as a layered film with a sealable polyethylene inner layer, on the processability of which the machine production lines are set wide.
  • a single layer foil may be used.
  • there are also "monofilm" use which are coextruded at a total thickness of less than 50 microns in layers of different (polyethylene) compositions to the high stresses of the bag when filling in short work cycles, when spreading with gripping arms or when pressing heavily compressed contents to catch.
  • a film made of only one base material, such as polyethylene has the advantage that it can be sorted and recycled according to type.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 is denoted by 1 a bag of thin plastic film as a whole, but only shown with its upper area of interest here, for relatively light but bulky cargo such as toiletries - toilet paper, Diapers, sanitary napkins - etc. is provided and is contoured by the house by the cutting of the film, the course of sealing seams and side or bottom seams to match the content of a well approximated cuboid shape.
  • the parallelepiped shape meets the practical requirements for space utilization during transport, storage and sales presentation and can be made of plastic film with proven mechanical operations well.
  • This also includes the formation of a handle bar 2 with a handle hole 3, which is formed here as a longitudinal strip at the top of the bag from the double-ply folded film and divided by a top seam 4 of an underlying filling chamber 5.
  • such a bag also includes a removal opening 6, which is given for example by a three-sided circumferential tear line 7, 8 and 9 and a rectangular opening, otherwise possibly also a rounded opening largely bounded:
  • a removal opening 6 is given for example by a three-sided circumferential tear line 7, 8 and 9 and a rectangular opening, otherwise possibly also a rounded opening largely bounded:
  • the tear lines terminate at a distance from one another and leave a film connection 10, at which a foil lug 11 remains hinged to the wall foil of the bag 1.
  • Such a foil lug 11 is regularly found in bags with a removal opening according to the prior art, to close the removal opening 6, if necessary by folding back the foil lug again.
  • This easy handling With the development of bags to thinner plastic film is not possible because the film is no longer used as a flap for lack of inherent rigidity, but folds, bends together and without any fall in itself and would go down through the removal opening 6.
  • a (larger) deck flap 12 is formed which, as shown in FIG Fig. 2 extends beyond the removal opening 6 with the side lines 7 and 9 up to the Anlenkline the film connection 10 or beyond.
  • the cover flap 12 is removed from a part of the handle strip 2, which has for this purpose easy tear lines of weakness 13, 14.
  • the lines of weakness 13, 14 may be formed safely as a permeable perforation lines, as they do not lead to the bag contents in the filling space 5 and thus have to take into account no high requirements for dust or moisture protection.
  • the weakening lines 13, 14 extend in accordance with the gaze device in FIG Fig. 1 on the front of the handle bar 2, continue their congruence on their back and then close on the back with a course along the top seam 4 to a U-shape, which results in the cover flap 12 by tearing open by hand, which unfolded over the top seam 4 remains connected to the plastic film of the bag 1.
  • For a light one Behind reaching and tearing the weakening lines, in particular at the back "U-yoke" as connection of the weakening lines 13,14 along the top seam 8, as well as long cut lines with short residual connections between or at the corners are executed.
  • the weakening lines 13, 14 could also be brought together on the front side along the top seam 8 and end on the rear side of the grip strip 2 in front of the top seam 8.
  • the cover flap 12 requires for a given size of the removal opening a length that must be taken out of the height of the double-layered handle 2.
  • the cover flap 12 should project beyond the removal opening 6 with its length.
  • cover flap 12- if possible on both sides-projects beyond the tear-open lines 7 and 9 and covers the edge region of the film of the bag around the removal opening 6.
  • a cover is achieved, even if the film curls or creases to some extent.
  • cover flap 12 for fixing and securing position still with adhesive strips (not shown) can be equipped, as they already found in conventional foil flags.
  • the cover flap with its protrusion also opens up the possibility of providing adhesive dots or adhesive lines with a detachable and adhesive (permanent) adhesive at the edge of the bearing surfaces. Such provided with an adhesive edge areas may be arranged on the inside before tearing the handle bar when the handle bar from the perspective of the Fig. 1 from the front to tear and hinged at the back.
  • the cover flap 12 may be shorter than the removal opening 6 and may close the removal opening 6 only together with the (folded-back) foil lug 11.
  • the cover flap 12 can be placed over the (folded) Fotienfahne 11 and fixed on this - such as adhesive edges or adhesive strips - but it can also be placed over the removal opening and thereby supported with an optionally larger width by edge-side support before the Foil lug 11 folded back and placed or glued on.
  • the handle bar 2 quite common practice - from a simple double layer of thin-walled plastic film, for example, a thickness of only 30 or 40? m formed.
  • polyethylene comes into consideration because of its low sealing temperature, which is cheap to dispose of, sorted and easy to recycle.
  • Such a thin and flexible material which has been further developed in the course of material development to ever higher strengths, especially as a "tight" wrapping the contents provide a total tight to handle packaging, including the continuous handle bar contributes to this, as in Fig. 2 shown, is torn open. Then arises in the handle bar according to Fig.
  • This can be countered in a simple manner that, for example, in the handle strip a reinforcing strip of any material, but preferably also made of a polyethylene material for unmixed disposal, loosely inserted or that with the top seam 4, a reinforcing strip is sealed from a material that has at least sealable layers on its surfaces.
  • FIG. 3 By way of illustration, in simplified schematic representation in FIG Fig. 3 First, a section through the handle bar 2 and the adjacent film areas between the lines of weakness 13 and 14 of a bag 1 shown in ready-to-ship closed form, as he already said on the basis of Fig. 1 and 2 has been described.
  • Fig. 4 shows the unilaterally to the top seam 4 (and along the line of weakness 13, 14) torn and folded over to the cover flap 12 handle bar.
  • a bag 21 is shown made of plastic film, in which a handle 2 is contoured again from a longitudinal fold of the film by means of a top seam 4, however, in the top seam 4, a sealable reinforcing strip 22, for example, from a stronger polyethylene material, integrated, the The handle bar stiffened and reinforced when closed.
  • the reinforcing strip 22 remains after formation of the cover flap 12 by tearing the handle bar 2 with the film strip from one side and after folding over to the other side and then closes the gap 15 Fig. 2 not only for the visual appearance, but also by permanent stiffening of the handle when handling after opening. This is in Fig. 6 shown.
  • reinforcing strip 22 is found, for example, in a folded and thus double-layered longitudinal strip made of film, for example from the same film as that of the remaining bag 1, used as reinforcing strip 23 in a bag 24 according to FIG Fig. 7 , Again, then after tearing open the cover flap 12 a gap 15 according to Fig. 2 avoided and achieved a stiffening for better handling after opening.
  • a multi-layered handle designed for improved rigidity can also be achieved by folding the foil into a concertina-like zig-zag cross section in the handle strip area or by rolling it up several times in the same direction.
  • the tear-out cover flap according to the present illustrations then does not need all To detect layers of the handle bar, but can, if two layers of a (narrow) handle strip for a cover flap 12 are too tight, provide for expansion possibilities.
