Abstract

Container comprising a bag net (1) along which there are arranged two flexible laminar bands (2, 3) which are laterally opposed, reinforcing the whole and susceptible of admitting graphical impression, being these bands superposed and united by their ends (4, 5) as well as to the bag and separated from the latter along the remaining zones, said bands being provided in their upper ends with at least one opening (7) defining a handle.

Description

  • The present invention is relating to a closed container comprising a net bag and a flexible band joined to the outside and extending between the closed upper and lower ends of the bag.
  • It is already well known that packages for containing fruits and various garden products, for instance packages like a bag consisting of a tubular net with clamped ends are not very strong, so that such nets can only contain a small quantity of said products.
  • Manufacture of conventional bags forming packages, comprising a handle, is quite expensive, as such handle is to be added during the manufacturing process.
  • As bags comprising a handle are not usually very flexible, they do not properly fit into useful transportation spaces, such as boxes, cases, and so on. Besides, containers such as the traditional bags do not present a suitable surface for an imprint or graphic representation, so that it is necessary to provide said containers with a label or the like with the consequent disadvantages of tearing, deterioration, difficulty of identification, etc.
  • U.S.-A 3.454.441 relates to a container which does not comprise a net bag but which is made of completely tight material, such as polyethylene.
  • DE-A 2.636.821 shows and describes a net bag with a single flexible laminar band to admit graphical impression without having any supporting function.
  • The improved container, now available according to the present invention has satisfactorily solved the problem of all these existing containers and is characterized by the fact that a second band is provided on the laterally opposed outside of the bag, that the bands are joined to the bag only in the region of its upper and lower ends and cover said end regions, and that there is at least one carrying opening provided in the joined upper end regions of the bag and the bands.
  • The features and advantages of the present invention will be more fully appreciated by reference to the following detailed description of a presently preferred embodiment, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
    • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the container,
    • Fig. 2 illustrates the container in a vertical section.
  • Referring to the figures the improved container consists of a bag net, designated 1, made of a suitable material, specially a thermo- weldable plastic material. This bag net comprises on two lateral opposed zones the laminar bands 2 and 3 of a flexible material, joined to each other and the bag 1 at their ends by lines of plastic thermowelding 4 and 5, said bands 2 and 3 remaining separate or loose along the remaining zones. At the extreme upper uniting zone between the bands 2 and 3 and the bag 1 and once the bag is filled with the corresponding products 6, there are provided some openings 7, defining a handle for manual transportation.
  • It is most interesting to state that this bag or container is being formed in proportion of the goods being filled up, with the consequent substantial industrial saving with respect to the already known containers.
  • The referred bag is extremely flexible and mouldable to any place for transportation, being at the same time very strong due to the bands 2 and 3, and taking up a higher load than the conventional containers existing presently on the market.
  • Besides, these bands 2 and 3, specially suitable to receive any type of literature and graphical impressions, as it may be appreciated from Fig. 1, facilitate commercialisation of the packaged product.
  • The union between the bands 2 and 3 and to the bag net 1 can also be made by means of other processes, differing from the stated thermowelding, such as adhesion, sewing, and the like.
  • It should also be stated that the orifices 7 for holding the bag and acting as handle can be replaced by only one opening with the same purpose.
  • The described container, besides the described advantages of a greater resistance, higher adaptability to useful spaces for transportation, cheaper manufacturing, bigger capacity and the like allows for a complete ventilation of fruits or the like, favouring preservation, the goods being moreover quite well displayed.
  • Although a particular preferred embodiment of the present invention has been disclosed in detail for illustration purposes, it will be recognized that variations or modifications of the disclosed bag, including the configuration, sizes, materials, and the like remain within the scope of the present invention as claimed.

Claims (1)

1.
