Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of filling a bag and/or a bag.
  • a number of individual bags/pouches are formed and these are used on an individual pouch filling machine, the bags or pouches being supplied from a magazine of unfilled bags or pouches.
  • the invention consists in a method of filling a bag of the type having a mouth end and a foot end, the foot end being shaped to provide a substantially stable base to allow the bag to stand on a surface and having recloseable elements adjacent the mouth to allow the bag to be opened and reclosed, said method comprising the steps of providing a string of bags interconnected by elongated support members adjacent said mouth or interconnected by the recloseable elements, opening the mouth of the bag, filling the bag, closing the bag, closing the recloseable elements, and separating the bags into individual closed bags.
  • said method further includes the step of heat sealing the mouth of the bag after filling and closing of the recloseable elements.
  • said support members are provided on a separate tape positioned adjacent the mouth of the bag and the method further includes the step of separating said tape from the remainder of the bag.
  • the invention may broadly be said to consist in a filled bag when filled by a method according to any one of the preceding paragraphs.
  • a string of bags are provided so that bags 1 are interconnected and the interconnection may be by means of a tape 2 which is connected to the mouth end of the bag.
  • the tape 2 is provided on each outer side surface of the bag and each tape carries an elongated support such as the support indicated at 3. This enables an interconnected chain of bags to be provided.
  • the bags have a stand up feature, that is to say the lower end of the bags 5 are shaped as necessary to provide a stable foot or base on which the bag can stand.
  • the material from which the bag is made is also sufficiently rigid to allow the bag to stand up on its base.
  • a particularly useful type of end for a plastic bag is that known by the name of duoy.
  • the bag also includes that its mouth end recloseable elements 8 which may comprise on one face a channel having a narrow mouth and on the other channel a rib having a bulbous head. These can extend from a narrow tape which is adhered to the inner surface of each face of the bag. Other methods of attaching the interconnection elements may be used such as the use of strips and direct attachment.
  • the supports 3 are held in suitable machinery so that the bags can be moved through a number of stations. It is possible to use the recloseable elements 8 for this purpose but in the preferred form a separate tape carrying ribs are provided as above described.
  • a gas jet 14 so that a jet of gas, for example, air or a gas flushing gas, can be directed to the mouth 15 of the bag.
  • a jet of gas for example, air or a gas flushing gas
  • the sides of the bag are forced apart substantially as shown at position 10 so that a spout 11 can be inserted into the bag and the bag filled. It is desirable that the spout 11 extend below the recloseable elements 8 so as to minimise splatter and any possibility of contamination through, for example, food stuff remaining in the mouth of the bag exterior of the recloseable element 8.
  • the spout 11 is then withdrawn and the bags move on to enable the recloseable elements 8 to be engaged and if desired to allow for heat sealing of the mouth and removal of the tape 2 with the supports thereon.
  • gas jet 14 is provided this is activated prior to the spout 11 being inserted.
  • the gas jet will force the recloseable elements into an open position and also inflate the bag.
  • a gas flushing gas is used the interior of the bag will also be gas flushed.
  • the bags once the tape 2 has been removed, become individual bags or if the recloseable elements 8 are used for support then of course the slits such as 12 between the bags can be extended to the mouth extremity to sever each bag from its neighbour.
  • a method of filling a bag of the type having a mouth end and a foot end, the foot end providing a stable base for the bag to stand on and/or a filled bag of that type which has the advantage that the filling operation, by making use of a chain of bags, is able to use simple and effective machinery for the purpose.
  • the bags can be satisfactorily closed in a suitable manner and are expected to be effective in use.
