Beverage packaging made from a tubular bag with welded edges

The invention relates to a beverage pack made from a tubular bag that is welded to the edge (whereby under "welded" also means "sealed"). Such packages have become increasingly popular in recent times. Even though in order to achieve a stable packing usually one of the two short sides of the regular elongated packs are tucked inwards so that the pack has an elongated oval crown, simple tubular bag packs are also known at those of the inner bag receiving the drink from an outwardly facing welded edge zone on all sides is surrounded.

The beverage packaged in such tubular bag packs is usually consumed immediately, that is to say drunk straight from the pack. The removal of the drink

takes place expediently with the help of a drinking straw, which bisr.ei: always ur.asnängi q is supplied by <? er Psrkuna. Only in the case of milk packs made of waxed cardboard, which are not discussed here, has the independently packaged drinking straw been glued to the pack.

The individual packaging of the drinking straw, its independent Delivery and its separate preparation are disadvantages, the elimination of which is the object of the present invention.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in a beverage pack of the type described above solved in that the opposite Bag walls vorr a chamber for receiving a drinking straw the rest of the donkey interior is separated. In this way the straw is always inside the tubular bag pack. It is ensured that every pack of drinks is supplied with a drinking straw, which is also hygienically perfect for the consumer without its own cover achieved. Since the drinking straw is simply shot in when making and filling the tubular bag pack the additional effort - especially in relation to the success achieved - is low.

A particularly advantageous development of the invention, which does not necessarily apply to one equipped with a drinking straw Tubular bag packaging is limited, consists in that the separation weld is interrupted. and the separated chamber with the rest of the bag interior communicates. The communicating connection is, so to speak, a throttle point between the larger remaining bag interior and the opposite

quite a small chamber, so that - if you have the hose bag The pack in the chamber opens - not the there is otherwise the usual risk that the te flood captured the entire contents of the bag and a large one Part of the drink is spilled.

To facilitate opening of the chamber it can be provided that the edge seal of the bag is cut in the area of the short side of the narrow, elongated chamber, In this way, when opening, one separates a corner of the pouch that forms one narrow side of the chamber away. If there is a drinking straw in the chamber, it either floats up by itself or can go through it light pressure on the opposite end of the chamber can be pushed out of this.

Preferably, the separating weld consists of a series of welds running parallel to the edge weld individual welding track sections. These can be easily welded to the edge of the tubular bag pack with establish and at the same time create a communicating connection between the chamber and the rest of the bag interior.

The drawing illustrates the invention using an exemplary embodiment. It shows:

swishes. Parallel to the left and right edges 2 of In Pig, 1 - closer to the left edge 2 - a series of welding track sections 3 is provided, which locally connect the opposing bag walls 4, 5 with one another. In this way , a chamber 7 separated from the rest of the bag interior 6 has been created, which, however , communicates with the rest of the bag inside 6 between the welding track sections 3.

In the chamber 7 a drinking straw 8 is arranged, which floats in the drink as a result of the communicating connection of the chamber 7 with the rest of the bag interior 6.

As an extension of the row of welding track sections 3, the upper edge 2 is cut over part of its width at 9, so that τ ^ η tear off the area 10 of the short side of the narrow, elongated chamber 7 along the dash-dotted line 11 to open the bag can and the chamber 7 opens in this way. This makes the drinking straw 8 accessible, and with its help the beverage in the bag 1 can be removed from the chamber 7 and thus also from the rest of the interior 6 of the bag.
