Definitions

  • CONTAINERS inventors Adrien Patrick Rayner, Alperton,
  • ABSTRACT A bag, particularly for coins, is made from heat-sealable film material and has a pouch adjacent to the open end of the bag and extending across the front of the bag with the mouth of the pouch directed towards the bottom of the bag.
  • the novel feature is the provision of a free flap which extends from the back of the bag and which has a length such that the bag can be closed by folding the flap over the pouch and pushing it indiscriminately without flattening into the pouch so that the bulk of the flap, together with the contents of the bag, retains the bag in the closed condition.
  • Bags of the known kind when used to contain coins do not invariably hold the coins satisfactorily and sometimes, particularly with rough handling, coins spill out of the bags. It is a main object of the invention to provide a bag capable of remaining closed, and so retaining its contents, even if it is subjected to rough handling.
  • FIG. 1 shows a flat sheet of heat-sealable material from which the bag is to be fonned
  • FIG. 2 diagrammatically illustrates a stage in the manufacture of the bag
  • FIG. 3 is a front view of the finished bag
  • FIG. 4 is a section, to an enlarged scale, on line IV- 'IV, FIG. 3, showing the bag in a partly open condition,
  • FIG. 5 is a section illustrating the manner of closing the bag.
  • the bag is made from the elongate rectangular sheet of heat-scalable film material, for example polyethylene, and is formed by folding the sheet along firstand second fold lines l0, 11 substantially at right angles to the length of the sheet.
  • the second fold line 11 is nearer to one end 12 of the sheet than is the first fold line and the distance X between the fold lines 10 and I1 is less than the distance Y between the first fold line 10 and the opposite end 13 of the sheet.
  • the first fold line 10 fonns the bottom ,of the bag and the second fold line 11 defines a pouch-forming flap 14 During folding of the sheet, FIG.
  • the portion of the sheet which is to include the second fold line 11 is folded about the first fold line 10 to overlie the portion 15 of the sheet, which forms the backof the bag, and the pouch forming flap 14 is folded about'the second fold line 11 to overlie the portion 16 between the first and second fold lines l0, l1 and which forms the front of the bag.
  • the overlying longitudinal edge portionsl7, FIG. 3 are sealed one to the other by heat-sealing.
  • the back 15 of the bag extends beyond the open end 18 of the bag and forms a free flap 20 having a length Z, FIG. 3, such that it can be folded over the pouch and pushed into the pouch.
  • the bag is closed by pressing closed end 21 of the pouch to open the mouth 19 and the free flap 20 is then folded over the pouch, FIG. 5, and has its end portion 22 tucked into the pouch with deformation the edge portion 23 of the pouch.
  • the end portion 22 of the flap 20 is tucked indiscriminately into the pouch without flattening and so is retained the bag closing position thereof.
  • the bag is particularly suitable for containing coins and it is found that when it is so dimensioned as to be full when containing a predetermined amount of coin, the possibility of the coins coming out of the closed bag, even if roughly handled, is negligible.
  • the width across the bag is 3% inches
  • dimension X is 4% inches
  • dimension Y is 6% inches
  • the pouch-forming flap 14 being about 2 inches deep
  • the length Z of the free flap 20 about 2 inches
  • the film material being 300 gauge high-slip polyethylene.
  • a bag of heat-sealable film material adapted to receive a quantity of coins totalling a selected sum which coins might spill therefrom particularly due to rough handling of the filled and closed bag, said bag comprising: I front and back panels joined along a fold defining the bottom of the bag, and having heat seals joining the panels along opposite side edges thereof upwardly from said fold and terminating in spaced relation thereto to define the mouth of the bag in which the depth of the bag from its mouth to its bottom is greater than that required to accommodate said quantity of coins whereby when the bag is filled portions of said front and back panels are exposed above the coins; said back panel having an integral top flap extending upwardly from said mouth and of a width corresponding to the width of said back and front panels;
  • said front panel having a pouch flap integrally joined therewith along a fold at said mouth parallel to the first mentioned fold and having heat seals joining said pouch flap and said front panel along opposite sides thereof downwardly from said mouth of the bag to the end of said pouch flap to define a pouch mouth thereat;
