The specific embodiment
With reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein identical Reference numeral is represented components identical, the exemplary flexible storage bag 100 that has shown the typical types that is used for storage food in Fig. 1.This storage bag comprises that the first side wall 102 is with overlapping with the first side wall and engage so that the second relative sidewall 104 of internal capacity 106 to be provided.Described first and second sidewalls 102,104 can be made by flexible thermoplastic diaphragm (web).The example of the thermoplastic that is fit to comprises: polyethylene (PE), high density polyethylene (HDPE) (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE) (LDPE), LLDPE (LLDPE), polypropylene (PP), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), nylon, polyester, polyamide, ethylene-vinyl alcohol (ethylene vinyl alcohol), and can form single or multiple lift.Described thermoplastic can be transparent, translucent, opaque or the band color.In addition, the described material that is used for sidewall can be a gas impermeable material.
First and second sidewalls 102,104 are bonded together along first lateral margin 110, the second parallel lateral margin 112 and the root edge 114 that seals by for example heat seal operation.In order to enter internal capacity 106, the corresponding apical margin 118 of the apical margin 116 of the first side wall 102 and second sidewall 104 keeps not engaging, so that opening 120 is provided.Because four square edges, illustrational storage bag 100 has rectangular shape.Yet, should be understood that described in other embodiments bag is owing to can have the sidewall of any amount and edge thereby can be any suitable shape.
In order to seal described opening 120, provide the locking device of second restraint zone 124 that comprises first restraint zone 122 and interlocking.Elongated restraint zone 122,124 can form by the semi-rigid thermoplastic materials of performance rebound characteristics is carried out extrusion modling.First and second restraint zones 122,124 link to each other with the inner surface of first and second sidewalls 102,104 respectively, extend to second lateral margin 112 near apical margin 116,118 and from first lateral margin 110 respectively.In order to connect described restraint zone, can adopt the operation of adhesive or heat seal.
In order to make first and second restraint zones 122,124 can interlocking, form first and second closure profile 130,132 respectively continuously along the length of every band.It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that first and second closure profile 130,132 have complementary shape, thereby they can mesh or mate each other in interlock mode.When such engagement, thereby complementary closure profile plays the function that first and second apical margins 116,118 is remained close to each other sealing opening 120.In order repeatedly to enter internal capacity 106, restraint zone 122,124 is constructed to each other interlocking releasably ideally.
According to an aspect of the present invention, in order to strengthen the sealing of being set up by the closure profile of engagement, encapsulant is applied to the interlocking restraint zone.Described encapsulant can be viscous fluid, flow-like material, waxy substance or other similar substance.The typical characteristics of this material is that they do not solidify or solidify, thereby keeps flowable or mobility.When the engagement of described closure profile, encapsulant moves to fill or sealing may be present in sealing slit or other leakage path between the semi-rigid closure profiles owing to what defective or misalignment caused.Like this, described encapsulant just provides the gas-tight seal or the vacuum seal of internal capacity.Described encapsulant should have be contained in the storage bag and air or all big density and the viscosity of gas in the environment around.The example of the encapsulant that is fit to comprises: silicone oil, mineral oil, monoglyceride, aliphatic acid, polybutene, vaseline and silica gel.At these embodiment that use with the bag that is used for storage food of the present invention, expectation be that encapsulant has the qualification of food grade materials.
An example of the interlocking restraint zone of design is shown in Figure 2 according to the present invention.Illustrated restraint zone the 122, the 124th, known " U-lag " type restraint zone.First restraint zone 122 is formed with the male closure profile 130 that the planar base element 140 from the inner surface that is suitable for being connected in the first side wall protrudes.This male closure profile 130 comprises first and second projectioies 142,144 parallel to each other and interval first distance.End in each projection 142,144 is formed with first and second hooks or the barb 146,148 that back points to base member 140 basically respectively.In addition, described barb 146,148 directed in opposite or away from each other each other.The distal most surface of barb 146,148 roughly is shaped or rounding, so that first and second guiding surfaces 150,152 to be provided respectively.Be understandable that, comprise that the male closure profile 130 of first and second projectioies 142,144 is extended basically on the whole length of first restraint zone 122.
On male closure profile 130, encapsulant 136 is deposited in three gaps or groove that is present between first and second projectioies 142,144 and the base member 140.Similarly, on female closure profile 132, encapsulant 136 be deposited on result from first the projection 162 and flange 174 between and the flange and second projection 164 between the gap in.In illustrational embodiment, described encapsulant should enough glue, thereby it is deposited in the closure profile and can freely flow out described gap.
As shown in Figure 3, for convex and female closure profile 130,132 are meshed, the first and second interlocking restraint zones 122,124 are exerted pressure toward each other, contact with guiding surface 170,172 on the female projections 160,162 up to the guiding surface on the male projections 142,144 150,152.Because the semi-rigid characteristic of restraint zone material, the contact between the guiding surface causes male projections 142,144 to curve inwardly, and female projections 162,164 is outwardly-bent.Thereby the barb 166,168 on barb 146,148 on the male projections 142,144 and the female projections 162,164 can slip over each other.In case slip over each other, the elastic characteristic of restraint zone material makes convex and female projections to the back bending song, makes described barb be moved into engagement interlocked with one another.Because the semi-rigid and elastic characteristic of restraint zone material, pulling force enough, that apply on the contrary can make convex and female closure profile break away from engagement each other.
With reference to Fig. 3, when convex and female closure profile 132,134 such engagements, be in encapsulant 136 on the male closure profile and the encapsulant that is on the matrix profile and contact and interact.Thereby described encapsulant provides airtight barrier or sealing on whole closure profile.Further be convenient to provide sealing by the flange 174 that insertion is deposited in the encapsulant 136 in the gap between the male projections 142,144.In addition, encapsulant 136 can move to or suck in the slit or leakage path between the barb of engagement by capillarity.
In other embodiments, encapsulant need all not be provided with on first and second restraint zones.For example, with reference to accompanying drawing 4, encapsulant 136 only is arranged on the male closure profile 130 between first and second projectioies 142,144 of first restraint zone 122.When first and second " U-lag " type restraint zone 122,124 is pressed together, the flange 174 of female closure profile 132 is inserted in the encapsulant 136, so that airtight barrier to be provided, prevent that air or other liquid or gas from bleeding or spill the internal capacity of storage bag.
With reference to Fig. 5, encapsulant 136 only is set on the female closure profile 132 in the gap that is provided by first and second projectioies 162,164 and flange 174.When first and second " U-lag " type restraint zone 122,124 is pressed together, the guidance surface 150,152 of male projections 142,144 is pressed in the encapsulant 136, prevents that air or other liquid or gas from bleeding or spill the sealing barrier of the internal capacity of storage bag thereby provide.In addition, encapsulant 136 can move to or suck in the slit or leakage path between the barb of engagement by capillarity.
In other embodiments, encapsulant can be arranged in other zone outside the closure profile.For example, with reference to Fig. 6, except male closure profile 130, first restraint zone 122 can comprise from first flange 176 of planar base element 140 projectioies and isolated second flange 178.Described flange 176,178 is positioned at the relative both sides of convex profile 130 and spaced away, and extends along the length of first restraint zone 122 basically.Encapsulant 136 can be deposited in the space that is provided by another gap between the gap between first flange 176 and first male projections 142 and second flange 178 and second male projections 144.
When first and second restraint zones 122,124 are pressed together, first and second projectioies 162,164 of female closure profile 132 can be around corresponding first and second projectioies 142,144 motion of male closure profile 130 contacting with encapsulant 136, thus provide airtight barrier prevent air bleed in internal capacity or internally volume spill.
Referring to Fig. 7, be another embodiment of " U-lag " type restraint zone, encapsulant is arranged on male closure profile 130 and the female closure profile 132.Particularly, encapsulant 136 is arranged on the surface of male projections 142,144 and female projections 162,164.Encapsulant 136 is preferably glue or viscous oil so that encapsulant remains on the lip-deep correct position of closure profile as film.
When first and second restraint zones 122,124 were pressed together, the encapsulant 136 on the convex profile 130 contacted and interacts with encapsulant on the matrix profile 132, thereby sealing barrier is provided.In addition, encapsulant can move to or suck in the slit or leakage path between the barb that is present in engagement by capillarity.In other embodiments, encapsulant can only be deposited on the surface of male closure profile or only be deposited on the surface of female closure profile.
In other embodiments, encapsulant can immerse in the material of closure profile.With reference to Fig. 8, in one aspect, immerse closure profile in order to make encapsulant 136, a large amount of capillaries 180 can be set in the closure profile of not engagement.Described capillary 180 can be formed sulculus or the passage that is provided with along the surface of closure profile 130,132.Then, encapsulant 136 can be received in the capillary 180 by any suitable method.During meshing, when first and second restraint zones are pressed together, convex and female closure profile are held each other and the bending carried out makes encapsulant 136 discharge from capillary 180.Then, described encapsulant can move or sucking-off by capillarity, with slit or the leakage path between the closure profile of filling or sealing engagement.In other embodiments, by for example etching, capillary can be formed a plurality of small diameter bore or the eyelet in the material that is in closure profile.Then, by encapsulant is received in the capillary, the sealing profile can be dipped into.
In yet another aspect, immerse closure profile in order to make encapsulant, encapsulant can be mixed in the material of closure profile itself.The distortion during meshing of convex and female closure profile will make the surface of encapsulant emersion closure profile, and the removable or sucking-off of encapsulant is to fill or the sealing leakage path herein.
