Definitions

  • the invention relates to a soft plastic bag for accomodating a stack of personal-hygiene articles, in particular of cosmetic cotton pads, according to the features mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Soft bags of the generic type which are produced in usual manner by doubling and welding a foil web made of e.g. polyethylene, comprise a substantially cylindrical side wall and a substantially circular bottom wall. The latter is formed by doubling and welding one end of a sheet-plastic tube which is an intermediate product of bag production.
  • a bag prefabricated in this usual manner, is filled with a stack of personal-hygiene articles, such as the aforementioned circular cotton pads, the direction of stacking running parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bag. Afterwards, the bag is closed by a combined weld and string closure, as shown for example in WO-A-94/19249.
  • a removal mechanism formed substantially by a removable tear-off latch surrounded by weakening lines, is located in the bottom area of the bag.
  • the prior art teaches various configurations for the tear-off latch.
  • a circular tear-off latch is used, having a diameter slightly reduced in comparison to the diameter of the bottom wall, the position of the tear-off latch in the bottom wall being concentrical, which can also be seen in the above-mentioned WO-publication.
  • the bottom article of the remaining stack rests on the circular marginal edge which is left over from the bottom wall and can thus be grasped with the fingers from below.
  • the grasping of the bottom article is impeded by the fact that during this procedure the stack usually recedes into the inner part of the bag. This is often found annoying, especially if the bag is already emptied partially.
  • two separate tear-off latches forming two separate removal openings are located on two sides of the bottom area of the bag facing away from each other in such a manner that the tear-off latches extend from the bottom wall into the respective side wall of the bag.
  • two large-surface removal openings facing away from each other are formed, so that the articles contained in the bag can be grasped and removed from two sides opposite of each other.
  • one removal opening is always accessible either from the front or from the side, so that the bag, independently of its position, never has to be turned around before the removal of an article.
  • a soft bag according to the invention comprises a substantially cylindrical side wall 1 as well as a substantially circular bottom wall 2, both being formed in one piece out of a thin web of a polyethylene foil.
  • the foil strip is doubled accordingly and welded together by means of a welding seam 3; thus a sheet-plastic tube is produced.
  • the sheet-plastic tube again is cut to a certain length and formed by doubling and welding one end of the bottom wall 2.
  • the doublings and welding seams usually taking a relatively complex course, are left out for the sake of clarity.
  • a combined weld and string closure is located in the head portion of the soft bag (not shown), as described in more detail in the above-mentioned WO-A-94/19249.
  • two separate tear-off latches 7, 8 are provided, each being defined by perforated lines 9.
  • the two tear-off latches 7, 8 are located on two sides of the bottom area 6 facing away from each other in such a manner that the tear-off latches 7, 8 extend from the bottom wall 2 into the side wall 1 of the bag.
  • the two legs 10, 11 of the perforated lines 9 running in the bottom wall 2 are formed as circular arcs curved in opposite direction to the circular lateral edge and disposed symmetrically to the central longitudinal plane M, the circular arcs continuing in the area of the lateral edge 12 as legs 13, 14 which also have the shape of circular arcs and are concave towards the bottom wall 2.
  • This configuration of the perforated lines 9 produces a supporting rib 15 connecting the two opposed areas of the side wall 1, which supporting rib 15 is left over after the two tear-off latches 7, 8 have been removed and on which rests the stack 16 of circular cotton pads 17 (see Figs. 2, 3) under the influence of gravity.
  • the minimum width b of the supporting rib 15 is approximately equivalent to one third of the diameter D of the bottom wall 1.
  • the two removal openings are formed symmetrically to the central longitudinal plane.
  • the bottom cotton pads 17 of the stack 16 resting on the supporting rib 15 can easily be grasped from the side and pulled out of the bag from two directions of access Z1, Z2 facing away from each other.
