Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sack made of thermoplastic film, the front and back of which are formed from a flat tubular film.
  • the invention further relates to a method and devices for producing sacks, in particular garbage sacks made of thermoplastic film tubes, the extruded blown film tubes being flattened to form tubular webs, possibly cut open in the longitudinal extension of the tubular web by at least one longitudinal cut, then the tubular web in cross-section and / or continuously welded lengthways and optionally the weld seams are separated or cut off next to the weld seams, whereby bags with side seams and / or bottom seams are obtained. After being folded, the sacks can be stacked in sack packs and packed into display packs.
  • Plants for the continuous production of pack sacks made of thermoplastic are known in a wide variety of designs, for example to those in DE-PS 24 57 039, DE-PS 62 36 321, DE-PS 21 04 082, DE-PS 34 21 680, DE -AS 27 55 860 and 27 43 494 and DE-OS 28 10 204 as well DE-PS 26 30 341 devices described.
  • a bag is already known from DE-OS 22 49 584, in which the edge is perforated along the open end during manufacture, so that a tear-off tensile strip is formed from the bag material.
  • this tearable tensile strip does not have sufficient tear strength in the case of thin pouch films, which ensure that the filled pouch is properly tied.
  • the invention has for its object to improve pack sacks made of plastic films l for handling when they are used, in particular to provide a suitable closure means, which enables the filled sack to be closed effortlessly at any place and at any time, and to provide an economical, environmentally friendly manufacturing process. Furthermore there is the task to assemble large-format sacks, such as garbage sacks, in handy display packs, which, in the case of small formats, obtained by folding the parts, nevertheless allow the individual sacks to be removed individually and prevent the sacks remaining in the display packaging from slipping.
  • a tear-resistant closure tape parallel to the upper edge of the sack opening and extending across the width of the sack is firmly connected to at least one of the sides of the sack and in the area between the upper edge of the sack opening and the a perforated line is formed parallel to the closure band with the closure band connected to the sack, along which the closure band can be torn off.
  • a fastening tape is not only a tape, but also a cord, thread or the like.
  • the fastening tape is connected to the flap in a manner that runs parallel to the upper edge of the sack opening and in the area between the perforated line parallel to the upper edge of the bag opening along the top edge of the bag opening and the fastening tape fixed to the flap, along which the fastening tape can be torn off.
  • To tie the sack is then at the appropriate time with the flap torn fastener tape available.
  • the invention allows various possibilities of attaching the fastener tape to the projecting flap of the sack. It is particularly preferred to fasten the fastener tape by welding it into an envelope formed by folding the flap over. However, it is also possible to weld the fastener tape directly onto the flap. Adhesive connections can also be used as adhesive connections for the closure tape with the sack or the flap. For example, tapes coated with hot-melt adhesive can be connected to the plastic film of the sack or flap using pressure and heat. The flap with closure tape to be torn off along the perforation line is then used to close the sack. It is also conceivable to strip the flap from the fastener tape, i.e. to release the fastener tape from the envelope if the connection allows.
  • the closure tape is inserted and welded between the two sides of the sack along the upper edge thereof and the perforation is provided in both sides of the sack and the sack opening is formed along the perforation.
  • Such an attachment of the sealing tape, preferably by welding, is particularly advantageous for very thin plastic films used for the production of the bags, in particular less than 20 ⁇ m thick.
  • An advantageous method for producing the bags with a tear-off sealing tape suggests that before the production of the weld seams a tear-resistant sealing tape which can be welded continuously to the plastic film of the bag in the longitudinal direction along a side edge of the tubular web intended for forming the bag opening with at least one tubular web side is particularly adherent Welding, is connected and at least one side of the tube sheet with a perforation line is formed parallel to the inner side of the sealing tape, along which the sealing tape can be torn off the tube sheet.
  • a closure tape is not only to be understood as a tape or ribbon, but also a cord, thread or the like, which is suitable for binding.
  • the preferred connection of the fastener tape to the tubular web is produced by welding, the fastener tape consisting of a suitable plastic that can be welded to the tubular web and is either welded onto the tubular web or preferably welded in, namely over the entire surface.
  • bags are produced which have a flap projecting on one side of the sack opening across the width of the sack in the extension of one side of the sack, with which the fastening tape is connected to the flap so that it runs parallel to the upper edge of the sack opening, in particular welded and in the area between the flap Top edge of the bag opening and the fastening tape fastened to the flap, the perforated line is formed parallel to the upper edge of the bag opening and the fastening tape, along which the fastening tape can then be torn off.
  • the fastening tape can be attached in different ways to the projecting flap of the sack or the tube sheet.
  • the fastener tape is continuously applied to the flap and hemmed in by flipping over the flap edge and continuously welded to the flap over the entire surface.
  • a further possibility of producing sacks with a tear-off closure band is proposed according to the invention in accordance with the features of claim 9.
  • This procedure is particularly advantageous for tubular webs, the width of which corresponds to a bag length - or for which, in the case of a tubular web width corresponding to two bag lengths, a separating weld seam forming a bag bottom weld seam is made in the center in the longitudinal direction in addition to side weld seams - and in which the closed side edges of the flat tubular web are not cut open.
  • the later sack opening is formed at the same time and the perforation line in the lower hose web side remains for tearing off the fastener tape, which is caused by the tearing of a perforation line formed envelope of the lower side of the tube sheet can be inserted.
  • a fastener tape made of ribbons made in particular of stretched polyolefins such as HDPE or polypropylene is preferably used.
  • the sealing tape is applied continuously and extends over the entire sack width in the finished sack, and is flush on both sides with the sack width, ie the side edges or seams.
  • the fastener tape can advantageously have a width of approximately 3 mm to 6 mm and a thickness of approximately 10 to 50 ⁇ m. Other dimensions are also possible.
  • the height of the flap of the tubular web protruding during production, which is caused by the offset of the longitudinal cuts, should be approximately 10 to 40 mm.
  • the flap is preferably turned over by almost half of its protrusion for welding in the fastener tape.
  • the invention can be used with particular advantage for the production of garbage bags, garment bags, etc. for the household, which have formats of about 500 to 900 mm in width and about 700 to 1200 mm in length; however, smaller bag formats can also be produced using the method according to the invention.
  • the bag shapes suitable for the invention can be different, but preference is given to packing bags without side gussets, but with side weld seams or side parting seam seams and with or without bottom fold.
  • Such pack sacks have the highest possible level of safety thanks to folded edges instead of a weld seam on the bottom of the sack.
  • pack sacks with bottom weld seam and with or without side gussets can also be equipped with a tear-off closure tape in the area of the subsequent bag opening.
  • Monoplastic or mixed films made of polyolefins, such as LDPE, HDPE, and / or LLDPE or e.g. Co-extruded multilayer films from such or other suitable thermoplastic plastics in question.
  • Thermoplastic materials that can be welded particularly well can be used with advantage.
  • the film thicknesses are selected from 10 ⁇ m to approximately 50 ⁇ m.
  • the sacks produced according to the invention with welded-on and welded-on and tear-off sealing straps directly at the sack opening are to be transferred for the individual use by the end user in suitable handy display packaging in suitable quantities, for example 6 to 30 sacks per packaging, in the continuous production of the sacks .
  • suitable handy display packaging in suitable quantities, for example 6 to 30 sacks per packaging, in the continuous production of the sacks .
  • the bags equipped with the sealing tape if necessary after single or double U-folding of the individual bags in their longitudinal extent with a closed side or Fold edge in the transport direction at the front, are stacked one above the other in a predetermined number to form a flat bag pack and the bag pack is folded into a stack in a W-like shape, with either the outer folding leg of the W stack, on the edge of which the closure straps of the bags run, longer than the other, in particular, the same long folding leg is formed and forms an edge strip projecting on one side over the W stack and the W stack is introduced into a display packaging or one of the folds of the W stack is formed by two folding legs which are longer than the other folding legs and thus forms the above plucked hem.
  • the process according to the invention enables large-format sacks to be continuously folded not only into small formats, but also to create a pack of a plurality of sacks in a pack or stack, which enables simple and safe removal of an individual sack from the display packaging.
  • This simple, safe removal is done by accessing the protrusion the edge strip of the sack inside the W fold of the stack.
  • the sacks that are not required remain in the orderly position in the W-shape in the display packaging and are not disturbed by the removal of the sack inside the W-fold.
  • the bags made of plastic films can be easily converted into the folded shape of the W stack due to their suppleness, although it is surprising that the bags can be removed safely and in an orderly manner, since they tend to stick together due to electrostatic charging and also have no inherent strength and thus also tend to slip strongly.
  • the individual flat sacks can be folded continuously at least once in order to reduce at least one of their dimensions, namely length or width, and are then collected in this folded flat form on top of one another to form sacks of a predetermined number of sacks.
  • the individual sacks can be folded together, for example, to half a sack width or length or by double folding to a third sack width or length or to a quarter sack width or length. In this way it becomes possible, for example with a sack width of 800 mm, to reduce this to 200 mm with a double fold and with a length of 1000 mm by a W-fold with 6 legs, which takes place transversely to the previous individual fold, this to 200 mm To shorten.
  • the display packaging then has a dimension that only insignificantly exceeds the format of the W stack of approximately 200 ⁇ 200 mm, the height or thickness of the packaging being based on the number of bags unfolded in the stack and, for example, 10 packed bags aforementioned size is in the millimeter range.
  • the fold line is offset from the center line of the bag approximately according to a width of the weld seam of the weld seams running parallel to the fold line. This enables the bags to be laid correctly and W stacks to be formed for the subsequent display packaging and prevents welding.
  • an even number of folding legs is preferably formed, in particular 6 folding legs.
  • the number of folding legs depends on the length of the sacks to be unfolded and the desired format.
  • the number of bags contained in a W stack also plays a role. For household packs, i.e. Small packs for the individual removal of bags, as required, are usually provided in a stack of about 5 to 30 bags.
  • the stack is preferably folded with the folding height of the folding legs remaining the same except for one protruding folding leg.
  • the overhang of the edge strip of the protruding folding leg should be approximately 15 to 30 mm in order to ensure that the sack can be gripped and gripped correctly for individual removal.
  • Bags or boxes or folding boxes made of plastic films or paper or cardboard or the like can be provided as display packaging, into which the W stacks of bags are filled.
  • the display packaging can be sealed with a flap, which is either designed with a tear-off perforation for the production of the removal opening or with a flap, which is provided as an envelope with a self-adhesive layer, or can be simply welded closed or with a tear-off tape that creates a removal slot when torn off.
  • the display packaging can also have a hanging tab to make it easily accessible to place hanging strips.
  • the W-shaped unfolding of the sacks into a stack has the further advantage that the sack areas with the welded-in sealing tapes, which represent a material accumulation compared to the other sack parts, are laid in the protruding edge strips of the W stack and thus space compensation in the display packaging , ie a uniform use of space is made possible and the bulging over the remaining flat sack parts is avoided.

  • the storage rack, not shown, assigned to the W folding device is centered with the arrangement of the folding wedges and guide fingers.
  • the fingers 22 which are in the rest position during the placement process, are pushed forward similarly to the function of a clipboard calculation above the bag pack and at the same time lowered onto the bag packs in order to clamp them slightly.
  • rotating rollers for example, are arranged as a counter support.
  • a gripper (not shown in detail above the folding area) descends from above and sits on the vertical fold arranged in the middle position in order to clamp the sack pack so that it cannot slip during the subsequent W folding.
  • Smoothing brushes can now be lowered to the right and left of the gripper on the sack packs in order to smooth them while they are being drawn into the folding device and to remove the air from the sacks.
  • the middle folding wedge 21 is pushed vertically upwards and thus executes the first folding process, the gripper, which clamps the sack packs, goes up with it. Subsequently, the folding wedges are pushed up on the left and right at the same time and thus perform the second and third folding, for example with the same folding height leads to a 1/6 product length pack in a W fold, ie with a bag length from 1100 mm to approx. 183 mm.
  • the stroke of the folding wedges is also adjusted according to this length.
  • Figure 12 shows schematically the position of the W-folding device after folding.
  • the direction of movement of the folding wedges 21 is shown by the arrows.
  • the fold lines calculated in the middle of the sack are defined such that a protruding edge strip of approx. 15 to 20 mm in the area of the sack opening remains, which serves as a starting line for the plucking of the individual sack.
  • This protruding edge strip of the bag pack designated by 201, also includes the sealing tapes welded in along the bag openings.
  • the W folding device can also be designed in such a way that sack pack folding can be carried out over a quarter of a sack length, only one of the outer folding wedges being switched off after the sack pack being positioned on the storage rack in a correspondingly offset manner, and the gripper being designed with a corresponding clamping strip for clamping the sack pack.
  • the stroke of the folding wedges 21 can be adjusted according to different bag lengths and the desired folding height of the W '.
  • the finished folded W stack 200 is taken over by another gripper in order to transport the ready to pack stack of W bags from the W folding device to the packing station and in suitable display packaging fill in.
  • this gripper is matched to the shape of the folding wedges in accordance with a gripping system, that is, it is designed like a comb.
  • the folding wedges 21 are retracted into their starting position, ie downward, and the guide finger unit is in the starting position, thus clearing the storage rack for the next bag pack for W folding.
  • the gripper now transports the W stack to the packing station next to the W folding device.
  • the gripper can be part of an automatic transfer station, for example, which is equipped with two swivel arms, each with a gripper. After the folding process has ended, the grippers then take over the stack of sacks folded in an alternating rhythm.
  • the gripper can preferably be formed in two parts, as shown in FIG. 13, with an upper rigid part 311 which takes over the W stack from the W folding device and extended outer clamping fingers 312 which are adapted to the length of the bag stack this is also recorded in full length. These extended clamping finger parts 312 are folded outwards and upwards during the stack transfer and only close in the direction of the arrow after the complete W stack has been freed from the W folding device.
  • the actual clamping hand 311 is to be adjusted in the width of the respective sack stack width and thus the width of the display packaging, while the outer clamping fingers should grasp the sack stack up to the edge or slightly beyond the edge due to their length, so that the clean and trouble-free insertion of the Ensure W stacks in the display packaging.
  • the extended clamping fingers are pressed firmly around the W stack during the transfer by the gripper to the packing station, in order to do this to make it as flat as possible while squeezing out the air.
  • the display packing station XVI can be designed, for example, as a wicket bag filling unit, the bags prefabricated as a display pack being hung in packs of 200 to 250 pieces in a bag pack holder, which is equipped, for example, as a double unit with a storage bag pack holder and in automatic changing operation works to maintain the continuous production operation of the plant.
  • Such filling units are generally known.
  • the bag pack receptacle is equipped with a blow nozzle that inflates the display bag at the top in the area of the flap opening and keeps it open for filling.
  • the gripper brings the stack of W bags into the bag to be filled and tears it out of the hanging hole tear-off perforation by pushing the bag bottom forward.
  • the filled bag is taken over by the gripper of a second robot station, the finger surfaces of which are in turn adapted to the design of the first gripper device already described and overlap one another.
  • the gripping device belonging to the display bag packing station pulls the completely filled bag into a closing welding station after being gripped, the other gripper withdrawing after releasing the clamping action and being ready to take over the next W stack.
  • the filled display bag is pulled back, it is pulled by the gripper under a smoothing brush, the air escaping from the bag and the bag opening being pulled smooth for closing.
  • the gripping device interrupts the removal of the bag, whereby the opening edge lies in the area of the welding station, which is equipped with a clamping and separation welding system and the bag is still tightly closed underneath the gripper by means of a welded seam.
  • the wicket hanging edge remaining above the weld seam is suctioned off with the rising welding head.
  • the fully filled and closed display bag is further removed from the gripping device and placed in a collecting container which, after filling, is transported to the central packaging plant, where the display bags are packed in shipping boxes.
  • FIG. 6p shows such a display bag 40 with a hanging tab and eyelets, which contains a stack of sacks folded in a W-shape, for example 10 garbage bags with a length of 1100 mm and a width of 700 mm and a bag size of 230 ⁇ 280 mm (without a hanging tab ).
  • FIGS. 18 to 21 show further variants of folded W stacks of bags.
  • FIG. 18 schematically shows a W-fold stack 200 with 4 folding legs 251-254 of the W-fold in a somewhat pulled-apart form.
  • Three sacks 1 are schematically provided in the stack 200, but usually there are 10 or more, which are usually already individually folded.
  • the stack 200 according to FIG. 18 is folded symmetrically, the two middle folding legs 252, 253 being longer than the two outer folding legs 251, 254, so that the fold 250 formed by them in the W is above the folded stack 200, ie in this case, over the two outer folding legs 251, 254 with the folded edge forming the plucked hem, protrudes.
  • the height H of the protrusion of the fold 250 see FIG. 21, should be such that it can be accessed with the fingers can easily pull out the sack lying on top of the protruding fold in the direction of arrow A.
  • the protrusion H, which forms the plucked hem is approximately 15 to 30 mm.
  • the bags 10 are folded in so many different ways that they obtain the desired handy dimensions for the display packaging 40, that is to say widths S S of the stack of approximately 10 to 30 cm and lengths L S of the stack of approximately 10 to 30 cm. If the bags have a sealing tape 7 welded to the flap projecting on one side over the bag opening, which can be torn off along the perforated line 8 formed parallel thereto, are to be packed together as a folded W stack, it is advantageous to give this flap area a short sealing tape 7 to form outer folding legs of the stack 200. The accumulation of material through the fastener tape finds enough space here for accommodation due to the shorter remaining folding legs.
  • FIG. 19 shows a W-fold stack 200 with 6 folding legs 251-256, in which one of the folds 250 on the inside is formed with folding legs 252, 253 which are longer than the other folding legs. These fold legs are at the desired height H of the protrusion of the fold 250 over the stack, i.e. the plucked hem is longer.
  • the stack 200 contains, for example, 20 sacks 10 which have already been individually folded by folding them twice, and which are folded together like a W, as shown in FIGS. 18 to 21.
  • one of the outer folds 250 of a W stack 200 with 4 folding legs 251-254 is formed above the other folds.
  • the W-shaped stack 200 unfolded according to FIG. 18 to 21 is each placed in a display packaging 40. See FIG. 22, so that the plucking hem of the protruding fold 250 is easily accessible through the removal opening 401 and an orderly removal of the sack located at the top in Arrow direction is possible.
  • FIG. 14 shows a partial view of a garbage bag 10 that can be produced according to the invention in the position ready for filling with a sealing tape 7 that can be torn off along the perforation 8 from the bag 10 at the bag opening 12.
  • the folding device according to the invention with a take-over gripper station for a display packaging device can also be used for sacks or bags made of plastic films without a welded-on sealing tape, which may even have carrying straps, in order to advantageously reduce the size by folding them up and to subsequently order them individually to enable the bags from the display packaging.
