Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bag-shaped tear-open package for quick access to the packaged goods.
  • a variety of packaging such as three / four-edge sealed bags, tubular bags, gusseted bags, stand-up pouches are known, which are made of various materials, e.g. mono or composite materials, in a media-tight manner by means of adhesive bonding, sealing or welding.
  • the packaging materials used for this packaging generally consist of composite materials, which have the task of hermetically shielding the product and, above all, of preventing the permeation of vapors and gases. These properties also result in a higher strength of the packaging material, which is why these composite materials are very difficult to tear in and tear apart with a relatively large amount of force.
  • a cutting tool such as scissors, knives, cutters is often required, which disadvantageously is often not available at the scene.
  • auxiliary structures such as incisions, notches or serrations can alleviate the above difficulties, but can not be satisfactorily eliminated.
  • the aforementioned packaging glove In certain applications, such as in medicine, the aforementioned packaging glove must be opened ⁇ hen, where often slippery Product residues adhere so that the holding force of the fingers is not sufficient to tear open even notches and the fingers slide off.
  • WO 94/28837 describes another solution to this problem, in which the sliding of the fingers is avoided by creating a rough surface in the opening area of the packaging.
  • this requires the attachment of additional molding materials, which on the one hand lead to an increase in price and on the other hand make recycling of the packaging more difficult or even impossible.
  • the invention has for its object to improve and further develop a packaging of the type mentioned in the preamble of the main claim in order to overcome the above-mentioned difficulties and technical limits and, in particular, without using auxiliary means such as knives or scissors and to allow the pack to be torn open quickly for quick access to the packaged goods.
  • the object is achieved with a packaging of the type mentioned at the beginning with the invention in that the contours of punched-out areas in the vicinity of a Section or a notch in the sealing area are at least partially jagged.
  • At least one punched-out is provided for this, but preferably two punched-out sections can also be provided on the right and left-hand side of the weakening.
  • the equipment can be provided in the overlap area of the longitudinal and transverse seam.
  • the punched-out is preferably circular, but it can also be polygonal or strip-shaped.
  • the punch preferably has a size that allows the intervention of a human finger. At least their size should correspond to the tactile surface of a human fingertip.
  • the contour of the punching is at least partially jagged, which is a significant improvement as a handle and opening aid.
  • the effect can be intensified by bending the teeth out of the plane of the punching and thus forming a considerably increased sliding barrier.
  • FIG. 1 is a view of a part of a bag-shaped packaging with a cross seal and a notch and two punchings on the side thereof,
  • Fig. 3 is a view of a jagged punch in the intersection of a transverse and longitudinal seam.
  • FIG. 1 shows a partial section of a bag-shaped tear-open package (20) with a transverse sealing seam (1) arranged in its transverse side.
  • a tear-open aid this has a notch (3).
  • Punchings (5) are provided on both sides of this notch (3) as additional gripping and opening aids.
  • these have at least in part a serrated contour (6) on their edges (4).
  • the cut-out (5) can be seen in the sectional view, which is formed on the edge (4) with a serrated contour (6). This is at least partially bent out of the plane of the edge sealing seam (1) in a particularly handy manner.
  • FIG. 3 shows a partial view of the packaging according to the invention (20) with a punched-out area (5) in the overlap area of the transverse sealing seam (1) with a longitudinal sealing seam.
  • the serrated edge which is bent forward out of the plane of the seam (2), is clearly recognizable
  • the punched-out has a size that allows, for example, the intervention of a human finger. At least the size of the punched-out area (5) should correspond to the tactile area of a human fingertip.
  • Such a punch (5) can be circular, but it can also be polygonal or strip-shaped.
