Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for receiving tubular packaging films. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for packaging frozen goods, goods to be disposed of and the like in tubular films and a welding device for carrying out the method.
  • Tubular packaging films are used in the household sector, for example, for packaging frozen goods, each being cut off from the film tube in the desired length and sealed at both ends with a film sealing device.
  • film tubes are commercially available mainly in flat-wound form.
  • packaging tubes are also known, which are wound up according to the so-called condom principle to form an annular bead, which is unwound as required.
  • a device for receiving tubular packaging films which is characterized by a tubular base body with a conical shape, which has at its one axial end an outer diameter which is less than the diameter of the packaging to be accommodated, so that the packaging film in ruched form can be pushed from this end over the base body, and which has at its other axial end an outer diameter which is so much larger than the diameter of the packaging films that a packaging film pushed onto the base body does not slip over this end, but through an operator can be pulled off the base body via the end and can be filled through the base body.
  • the tubular packaging film is thus placed in a gathered form on the base body of the device and can be removed from it over the larger edge against the resistance of the base body.
  • the bag thus formed can be filled through the base body in a simple manner without it being necessary to keep the bag open in a laborious manner by hand.
  • the base body is designed so resiliently at least at its axial end of a large outer diameter that the base body is compressed in this end region for welding a film section pulled off the base body can be. This opens up the possibility of welding the open end of a filled section of film cleanly, since when the base body is compressed, the film material also lies exactly on top of one another. The closure can thus take place before the filled film section is cut off, so that the waste can be kept very low.
  • edge of the base body is formed at the axial end of a large diameter so that the edge lies flat on one another when the base body is pressed together, forming a straight line.
  • a cover is detachably attached to the base body, which covers the outer surface of the base body at least in the area that carries the gathered packaging film *.
  • the dachshund can, for example, be designed so that it engages around the axial end of the small diameter of the base body and engages with an annular web in the base body, where it is expediently screwed to the inner surface of the base body.
  • a holder for attaching the device to a cabinet wall can be provided on the cover.
  • a handle or handle can be attached to the lid in order to transport the device with a filled bag in a simple manner.
  • the device according to the invention can be part of a packaging device for packaging frozen goods, goods to be disposed of such as household waste or the like.
  • the base body is expediently provided above a welding or heat sealing device, so that the tubular film is at the bottom can be removed from the base body and closed at the bottom or top.
  • the device includes an essentially tubular base body 1 with a conical shape made of plastic, which has a smaller outer diameter d on its open upper side than on its underside.
  • the smaller outer diameter d at the upper end 3 of the base body 1 is selected such that a packaging film 2 can be pushed in a gathered form from the upper end 3 over the base body 1, and the larger outer diameter D at the lower end 4 of the base body 1 is around chosen so much larger than the diameter F of the packaging film 2 that the packaging film 2 cannot slide down over the end 4, but can be pulled off from the base body 1 by an operator via the end 4.
  • a lid 6 made of solid plastic is provided, which is placed on the upper end 3 of the base body 1 and engages with an annular web 8 in the base body 1.
  • the annular web 8 has a thread 9 on the outside, which is screwed to a corresponding internal thread 11 on the inner surface 10 of the base body 1, so that the cover 6 is held securely on the base body 1.
  • a hook-shaped holder 12 is provided on the top of the cover 6 in order to be able to attach the device to a wall or the like. Furthermore, there is a handle 13 on the cover 6 provided to be able to transport the device.
  • the device can be part of a packaging device for packaging frozen goods, goods to be disposed of such as household waste or the like.
  • the base body is expediently provided above a welding or hot ironing device, so that the tubular film can be pulled down from the base body and closed at the bottom or top.
  • the packaging film 2 which is pushed onto the base body 1 in a gathered form, is then pulled down from the base body 1 against the resistance of the base body 1 over the larger outer diameter D from the base body 1.
  • the lower end of the packaging film 2 is then sealed to form a bag.
  • This bag can then be filled with frozen goods, garbage or the like from the upper end of the base body 1 without having to be stopped by hand.
  • the packaging film 2 is pulled down as far as necessary from the base body 1 and the filled packaging section is separated from the rest of the packaging film 2 and, if necessary, closed under vacuum.
  • the lower axial end 4 of the base body 1 is designed to be resilient and the lower edge 5 of the base body 1 is shaped such that the base body 1 can be pressed together and the edge 5 lies flat on one another to form a straight line. This ensures that the packaging film 2 also lies flat on top of one another, so that the filled film section can be welded cleanly by the two welding jaws of a conventional film welding device while it is still attached to the rest of the packaging film.
  • the welding device preferably has two welding units by means of which weld seams lying essentially parallel to one another can be produced on the film container are.
  • a first weld is then first made to close the container, and then at least one opening is made in the closed bag through which a vacuum is drawn in the bag, and then a second weld is made around the to seal the evacuated bag in such a way that no air can enter the bag through the opening.
