Description

La présente invention concerne un sac, notamment en matière plastique, qui peut être utilisé, d'une part, pour le transport de produits divers et, d'autre part, après que la fonction de transport ait été remplie, pour la collecte des déchets et ordures ménagères.The present invention relates to a bag, in particular in plastic material, which can be used, on the one hand, for the transport of miscellaneous products and, secondly, after the transport function has completed, for the collection of household waste and garbage.

On sait que de nombreuses grandes surfaces de vente, ci-après désignées par le terme générique de "supermarchés", distribuent gratuitement à leurs clients, à la sortie des caisses, des sacs en matière plastique fine permettant le transport des produits qui ont été achetés dans le supermarché. Il arrive que les clients prélèvent un nombre de sacs supérieur au nombre minimum qui serait nécessaire pour le transport des marchandises achetées. Tous ces sacs dits "sacs sortie de caisse" se retrouvent malheureusement souvent dans la nature entraínés par le vent. La mauvaise image de marque liée à ce type de pollution par les sacs "sortie de caisse" a déjà amené certaines chaínes de supermarchés à supprimer la fourniture gratuite de ces sacs en la remplaçant par une fourniture payante de sacs plus solides susceptibles d'être réutilisés de nombreuses fois par l'utilisateur.We know that many large sales areas, below designated by the generic term "supermarkets", distribute free of charge to their customers, at the checkout, fine plastic allowing the transport of products that have been purchased in the supermarket. Customers may collect a number of bags greater than the minimum number that would be required for the transportation of purchased goods. All these bags called "bags out of box "unfortunately are often found in nature driven by the wind. The bad brand image linked to this type of pollution by the bags "checkout" has already brought some chains of supermarkets to remove the free supply of these bags by the replacing by a paid supply of more solid bags likely to be reused many times by the user.

On sait également que, de façon maintenant très généralisée dans les pays industrialisés, les particuliers stockent leurs ordures ménagères dans des sacs en matière plastique. Ces sacs sont constitués de feuilles en matière plastique relativement solides pour éviter que les divers détritus ne provoquent leur déchirement. Parmi ces sacs, désignés de façon générique ci-après sous le terme de "sacs-poubelles", une catégorie particulière a fait son apparition, à savoir les sacs-poubelles à liens coulissants. Ces sacs comportent, de part et d'autre de leur zone d'ouverture, des liens constitués par des bandes de matière plastique susceptibles de coulisser dans des gaines. Chaque gaine comporte au moins un embrèvement, qui permet de saisir le lien correspondant ; l'utilisateur peut donc saisir les deux liens et, en tirant, il assure la fermeture du sac-poubelle. Ce type de sac dit "à liens coulissants" peut difficilement servir de sac de transport étant donné que le lien coulissant, lorsqu'il est tiré pour fermer le sac, a une longueur telle que la prise en main du sac par ses liens coulissants tirés amènerait le sac à traíner par terre, si l'utilisateur le transporte avec un bras en position verticale.We also know that, now very widespread in industrialized countries, individuals store their household garbage in plastic bags. These bags are made of relatively strong plastic sheets for prevent the various detritus from tearing them apart. Among these bags, generically designated below under the term "trash bags", a particular category has emerged, namely trash bags with sliding links. These bags feature, on both sides and other than their opening area, links formed by bands of plastic material capable of sliding in sheaths. Each sheath has at least one recess, which allows to grasp the link correspondent; the user can therefore enter the two links and, by pulling, it ensures the closure of the trash bag. This type of bag says "with links "can hardly be used as a carrying bag given that the sliding link, when pulled to close the bag, has a length such as the grip of the bag by its drawn sliding links would cause the bag to drag on the ground, if the user carries it with a arms in vertical position.

On sait, par ailleurs, que la réglementation environnementale entraíne le développement rapide des collectes sélectives de détritus. Selon cette technique, on demande aux utilisateurs de séparer dans des sacs-poubelles différents les papiers, le verre, les matières plastiques, les métaux et les autres déchets dits "déchets organiques".We also know that regulations environmental causes the rapid development of collections selective litter. According to this technique, we ask users to separate the paper, glass, plastics, metals and other so-called waste "organic waste".

On connait par le document FR-A-2 309 419 en sac conforme au préambule de la revendication 1. Toutefois, les ouvertures pour les doigts sont formées dans des poignées déchirables à distance des ourlets du sac. Le document US-A-3 543 999 montre des sacs munis des renforts localisés au voisinage des découpes.We know from document FR-A-2 309 419 in a conforming bag in the preamble to claim 1. However, the openings for fingers are formed in tear-away handles away from the hems from the bag. Document US-A-3,543,999 shows bags with localized reinforcements in the vicinity of the cutouts.

La présente invention a pour but de décrire un sac susceptible d'être utilisé, d'une part, pour le transport de produits en remplacement des sacs "sortie de caisse" et, d'autre part, pour le conditionnement des ordures ménagères, notamment de celles qui ne dégagent pas d'odeur violente, telles que les papiers, le verre et les matières plastiques. Le sac, selon l'invention, a l'avantage de permettre la suppression des sacs sortie de caisse, sans obliger les utilisateurs à acheter un sac spécifique pour le transport, puisque le sac selon l'invention pourra être utilisé ultérieurement en tant que sac-poubelle, dont l'utilisateur a, de toute façon, besoin.The present invention aims to describe a bag likely to be used, on the one hand, for the transport of products in replacement of "checkout" bags and, on the other hand, for packaging of household waste, in particular that which does not do not emit a strong odor, such as paper, glass and plastics. The bag according to the invention has the advantage of allowing the removal of checkout bags, without requiring users to buy a specific bag for transport, since the bag according to the invention may be used later as a trash bag, which the user needs, anyway.

Un but de l'invention est d'améliorer la resistance du sac, considéré comme sac de transport, au niveau des découpes des poignées qui risquent de se dechirer.An object of the invention is to improve the resistance of the bag, considered as a transport bag, at the cutouts of the handles that may tear.

La présente invention a, en conséquence, pour objet un sac selon la revendication 1.The present invention therefore relates to a bag according to claim 1.

On peut prévoir que les embrèvements associés aux liens coulissants et leurs parties centrales distantes l'une de l'autre d'une longueur sensiblement égale à la moitié du périmètre constitué par les deux zones d'ouverture des deux faces du sac.We can predict that the dimples associated with the links sliding and their central parts distant from each other by a length substantially equal to half the perimeter of the two opening zones on both sides of the bag.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation, les liens coulissants des deux faces sont reliés l'un à l'autre par leurs extrémités et chaque gaine comporte un embrèvement à chacune de ses extrémités pour laisser apparaítre les extrémités reliées entre elles des liens coulissants ; dans un autre mode de réalisation, chaque lien coulissant a ses extrémités solidaires de la gaine, où il est disposé, un embrèvement étant prévu dans la partie médiane de chaque gaine. En fait, le positionnement, sur chaque face du sac, des embrèvements associés à chacun des liens coulissants n'a qu'une importance tout à fait secondaire, car la fonction des embrèvements, à savoir la possibilité de préhension d'un lien coulissant, est remplie dès lors que l'embrèvement existe. Néanmoins, on préfère que les embrèvements aient, le long de l'ouverture du sac, une position relative telle que la distance entre les parties centrales des embrèvements soit sensiblement égale à la moitié du périmètre constitué par les deux zones d'ouverture des deux faces du sac. Les liens coulissants peuvent être en matière plastique et la solidarisation de leurs extrémités est alors effectuée par soudure ; on peut prévoir que les embrèvements des gaines soient pratiqués du côté opposé à la soudure longitudinale du repli.In a first embodiment, the sliding links of the two faces are connected to each other by their ends and each sheath has a recess at each of its ends to reveal the interconnected ends of the links sliding; in another embodiment, each sliding link has its ends secured to the sheath, where it is arranged, a recess being provided in the middle part of each sheath. In fact, the positioning, on each side of the bag, of the recesses associated with each of the sliding links is of utter importance secondary because the function of the kisses, namely the possibility of grip of a sliding link, is fulfilled as soon as the removal exist. Nevertheless, it is preferred that the recesses have, along the opening of the bag, a relative position such as the distance between the central parts of the footprints is substantially equal to half of the perimeter formed by the two opening zones of the two faces from the bag. The sliding links can be made of plastic and the joining of their ends is then carried out by welding; we can provide that the sheaths are removed from the side opposite the longitudinal weld of the fold.

Dans une variante, le repli correspondant à chaque gaine comporte une jupe, qui prolonge ledit repli au-delà de sa soudure longitudinale délimitant la gaine, et qui, éventuellement, peut être soudée le long de son extrémité libre sur la face correspondante ; chaque découpe peut être prévue au niveau de la jupe, à la fois dans une face du sac et dans ladite jupe.In a variant, the fold corresponding to each sheath has a skirt, which extends said fold beyond its weld longitudinal delimiting the sheath, and which, possibly, can be welded along its free end to the corresponding face; each cut can be provided at the skirt, both in one side of the bag and in said skirt.

De préférence, les découpes ont leurs parties centrales qui, l'une par rapport à l'autre, sont, quand le sac est ouvert et que l'on se déplace le long de la périphérie de l'ouverture du sac, sensiblement distantes de la moitié à la moitié de la longueur du périmètre constitué par les deux zones d'ouverture des faces du sac ; les découpes prévues dans les deux faces sont en vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre et sur le même contour ; les deux faces peuvent avoir un plan de symétrie commun et les découpes sont prévues, de préférence, au droit de la partie médiane de la zone d'ouverture de chaque face, lesdites découpes pouvant avoir un contour sensiblement symétrique par rapport audit plan de symétrie.Preferably, the cutouts have their central parts which, relative to each other, are, when the bag is open and moves along the periphery of the bag opening, substantially half to half the length of the established perimeter by the two opening zones of the faces of the bag; the planned cuts in both sides are facing each other and on the same outline; the two faces can have a common plane of symmetry and the cutouts are preferably provided at the right of the middle part of the opening area of each face, said cuts being able to have a substantially symmetrical contour with respect to said plane of symmetry.

Selon une première réalisation, les découpes sont simplement délimitées par une ligne de prédécoupe permettant à l'utilisateur d'ouvrir aisément la découpe pour assurer le premier portage du sac. Selon une autre réalisation, les découpes sont ouvertes par ablation de la partie délimitée par leur contour.According to a first embodiment, the cuts are simply delimited by a precut line allowing the user can easily open the cutout to ensure the first carrying the bag. According to another embodiment, the cutouts are open by removing the part delimited by their outline.

On préfère que la découpe de chaque face soit entièrement prévue du côté de la gaine, qui est opposé au bord libre de la zone d'ouverture, de façon que ladite découpe n'empiète pas sur la gaine de ladite face mais se trouve néanmoins au voisinage immédiat de ladite gaine.We prefer that the cutting of each side is entirely provided on the side of the sheath, which is opposite the free edge of the zone opening, so that said cut does not encroach on the sheath of said face but is nevertheless in the immediate vicinity of said sheath.

Le sac selon l'invention comporte un fond qui, lorsque le sac est en service, peut avoir la forme d'un dièdre ou peut être un fond plat ; les faces du sac peuvent être sensiblement rectangulaires, la bordure desdites faces, qui est opposée à la zone d'ouverture et correspond au fond du sac, pouvant comporter un repli qui relie entre elles les deux faces.The bag according to the invention has a bottom which, when the bag is in use, may have the shape of a dihedral or may be a bottom dish ; the sides of the bag can be substantially rectangular, the border of said faces, which is opposite to the opening area and corresponds to the bottom of the bag, which may include a fold which connects between they both sides.

Avec le sac selon l'invention, qui vient d'être défini, l'utilisateur peut assurer le transport de marchandises sans difficulté puisqu'il peut saisir le sac en engageant une main dans les découpes prévues au-dessous des gaines des liens coulissants, de sorte que le sac ne traíne pas par terre dès lors que sa hauteur au-dessous de la découpe est inférieure à la distance de la main au sol pour une position verticale du bras de l'utilisateur. Il convient de noter que, dans un tel transport, les liens coulissants participent à la résistance du sac étant donné que les découpes au niveau desquelles s'effectue le report de charge sur la matière plastique sont situées juste au-dessous des liens coulissants, de sorte que les efforts sont reportés par les liens coulissants sur les parties latérales du sac, ce qui contribue grandement à la solidité du sac considéré comme sac de transport. With the bag according to the invention, which has just been defined, the user can transport goods without difficulty since he can grab the bag by engaging a hand in the cutouts provided below the sheaths of the sliding links, so that the bag does not drag on the ground since its height below the cutout is less than the distance from the hand to the ground for a vertical position of the user's arm. It should be noted that in such transport, the sliding links contribute to the resistance of the bag since the cuts at which the load is transferred to the plastic are located just below the sliding links, so that the efforts are transferred by the sliding links on the side parts of the bag, which greatly contributes to the strength of the bag considered as a transport bag.

Dans le cas où les découpes sont prévues dans une zone où existe une jupe prolongeant le repli formant gaine et dans le cas où le bord longitudinal libre de la jupe est soudé sur une face du sac, la zone de prise en mains au niveau des découpes est une zone renforcée puisque chaque face du sac est doublée par la jupe ; la présence de cette double épaisseur permet d'améliorer la résistance mécanique du sac au niveau de la découpe et d'éviter que le sac ne se déchire en bordure de découpes tout en reportant les charges sur toute la largeur du sac grâce aux deux soudures longitudinales qui bordent la jupe. Il est possible de prévoir que le contour de chaque découpe soit bordé par une soudure pour améliorer la résistance au déchirement en bord de découpe ; dans un tel cas, si nécessaire, on peut prévoir que la zone comprise entre la jupe et la face correspondante du sac, entre les deux soudures longitudinales qui délimitent la jupe, communique avec l'extérieur par au moins une perforation permettant le passage de l'air.In the case where the cuts are provided in an area where exists a skirt extending the fold forming a sheath and in case the free longitudinal edge of the skirt is welded to one side of the bag, the area grip in the cutouts is a reinforced area since each side of the bag is lined by the skirt; the presence of this double thickness improves the mechanical resistance of the bag at the cutout and to prevent the bag from tearing in border of cutouts while transferring the loads over the entire width of the bag thanks to the two longitudinal welds which border the skirt. he it is possible to provide that the outline of each cut is bordered by a weld to improve the tear resistance at the edge of cutting; in such a case, if necessary, provision can be made for the area between the skirt and the corresponding side of the bag, between the two longitudinal welds which delimit the skirt, communicate with the exterior by at least one perforation allowing the passage of air.

Dans la mesure où le sac selon l'invention est utilisé pour stocker des déchets constitués de papier, verre, ou matière plastique, il est clair que l'existence des ouvertures, que constituent les découpes, ne présente aucun désavantage.Insofar as the bag according to the invention is used for store waste consisting of paper, glass, or plastic, it it is clear that the existence of the openings, which constitute the cutouts, has no disadvantages.

Pour mieux faire comprendre l'objet de l'invention, on va en décrire maintenant, à titre d'exemple purement illustratif et non limitatif, un mode de réalisation représenté sur le dessin annexé.To better understand the object of the invention, we will describe it now, as a purely illustrative example and not limiting, an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing.

Sur ce dessin :

  • la figure 1 représente, en perspective, un sac selon l'invention, en position ouverte ;
  • la figure 2 représente une coupe selon II-II de la figure 1;
  • la figure 3 représente, en élévation, un sac selon une variante des figures 1 et 2, sac dans lequel on a prévu une jupe prolongeant le repli de chaque face ;
  • la figure 4 représente une coupe partielle selon IV-IV de la figure 3.
On this drawing :
  • Figure 1 shows, in perspective, a bag according to the invention, in the open position;
  • Figure 2 shows a section on II-II of Figure 1;
  • 3 shows, in elevation, a bag according to a variant of Figures 1 and 2, bag in which there is provided a skirt extending the fold of each face;
  • FIG. 4 represents a partial section along IV-IV of FIG. 3.

On voit que le sac selon l'invention est constitué de deux faces sensiblement parallèles 1a, 1b rectangulaires ; les faces 1a, 1b sont constituées par une même feuille de matière plastique qui est pliée pour former le fond 1c du sac ; ce fond 1c est arrondi lorsque le sac est en position de portage, comme cela est représenté sur le dessin, mais dans la position de stockage, les faces 1a, 1b sont ramenées l'une contre l'autre et se raccordent au niveau du fond par un pli plat. Sur leurs bords latéraux, les faces 1a et 1b sont reliées entre elles par des soudures 2. Du côté opposé au fond 1c, la périphérie du sac comporte, sur chaque face 1a, 1b, une zone d'ouverture 1d, le long de laquelle on a ménagé un repli 3, dont l'extrémité est soudée sur la face correspondante selon une soudure longitudinale 4.It is seen that the bag according to the invention consists of two substantially parallel faces 1 a, 1 b rectangular; the faces 1a, 1b are constituted by a single plastic sheet which is folded to form the bottom 1c of the bag; this bottom 1 c is rounded up when the bag is in carrying position, as shown in the drawing, but in the storage position, the faces 1a, 1b are brought against one another and are connected to bottom level by a flat fold. At their side edges, the faces 1a and 1b are interconnected by welds 2. On the opposite side to the bottom 1 c, the periphery of the bag comprises, on each face 1 a, 1 b, an opening area 1 d , along which a fold 3 has been provided, the end of which is welded to the corresponding face in a longitudinal weld 4.

Le repli soudé 3 délimite intérieurement une gaine 5 à l'intérieur de laquelle est disposé un lien coulissant 6 constitué par une bande de matière plastique, généralement de couleur différente de la couleur de la feuille constitutive des faces 1a, 1b. Le lien coulissant 6 est accessible de l'extérieur grâce à un embrèvement 7 pratiqué dans les parois de chaque gaine 5, le long du bord libre de la zone d'ouverture 1d du sac. Chaque embrèvement est obtenu en coupant, selon une forme semi-circulaire, les deux parois de chaque repli 3. Les deux embrèvements 7 sont disposés en vis-à-vis l'un de l'autre symétriquement par rapport au plan de symétrie du sac, plan qui est visualisé sur la figure 1 par la ligne II-II et qui est parallèle aux deux soudures latérales 2 du sac.The welded fold 3 internally defines a duct 5 inside which is disposed a slider 6 consisting of a plastic web link, usually a color different from the color of the sheet constituting the faces 1a, 1b. The sliding link 6 is accessible from the outside thanks to a recess 7 made in the walls of each sheath 5, along the free edge of the opening area 1 d of the bag. Each recess is obtained by cutting, in a semi-circular shape, the two walls of each fold 3. The two recesses 7 are arranged opposite one another symmetrically with respect to the plane of symmetry of the bag , plane which is visualized in FIG. 1 by the line II-II and which is parallel to the two lateral welds 2 of the bag.

Au-dessous des lignes de soudure 4 des replis 3, on a pratiqué, dans chacune des faces 1a et 1b du sac, des découpes 8a, 8b de forme oblongue et de dimension suffisante pour pouvoir introduire une main à travers lesdites découpes. Les découpes 8a, 8b pratiquées respectivement dans les faces 1a, 1b sont disposées en vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre et sont symétriques par rapport au plan de symétrie repéré par II-II sur la figure 1. Les découpes 8a, 8b se trouvent donc au-dessous des embrèvements 7 et elles sont disposées de façon à ne pas empiéter sur les gaines 5 et à être juste au-dessous des soudures 4 des gaines 5. Dans une variante, on pourrait prévoir que les découpes 8a, 8b, au lieu d'être réalisées par ablation de la partie de feuille définie par le contour des découpes, soient réalisées par un simple prédécoupage pointillé des faces 1a, 1b, l'ouverture des découpes étant alors réalisée au moment où l'utilisateur veut passer sa main à travers les découpes 8a, 8b pour assurer le portage du sac. Below the weld lines 4 of the folds 3, cuts 8 a , 8 b of oblong shape and of sufficient size were made in each of the faces 1 a and 1 b of the bag. cuts. The cuts 8 a , 8 b made respectively in the faces 1 a , 1 b are arranged opposite one another and are symmetrical with respect to the plane of symmetry identified by II-II in FIG. 1 The cutouts 8 a , 8 b are therefore located below the recesses 7 and they are arranged so as not to encroach on the sheaths 5 and to be just below the welds 4 of the sheaths 5. In a variant, one could provide that the cuts 8 a , 8 b , instead of being made by ablation of the sheet part defined by the outline of the cuts, are made by a simple dotted pre-cutting of the faces 1 a , 1 b , the opening of the cutouts then being made when the user wants to pass his hand through the cutouts 8 a , 8 b to ensure the porting of the bag.

Lorsque le sac selon l'invention est utilisé pour le portage de produits, l'utilisateur, après avoir disposé les produits à l'intérieur du sac, passe sa main à travers les découpes 8a, 8b et supporte avec cette main le poids des produits placés dans le sac. La force de portage s'exerce donc au niveau des découpes 8a, 8b, mais elle est reprise par les lignes de soudure 4 et par les liens coulissants 6, de sorte que la solidité du sac est considérablement améliorée par rapport à celle que l'on aurait pu escompter avec la simple résistance de la feuille de matière plastique constitutive des faces 1a et 1b.When the bag according to the invention is used for carrying products, the user, after having placed the products inside the bag, passes his hand through the cutouts 8 a , 8 b and with this hand supports the weight products placed in the bag. The porting force is therefore exerted at the cutouts 8, 8b, but is recaptured by the weld lines 4 and the drawstring 6, so that the strength of the bag is considerably improved compared to the one one could have expected with the simple resistance of the plastic sheet constituting the faces 1 a and 1 b .

Lorsque la fonction de portage est terminée et que l'utilisateur veut utiliser ce sac comme sac-poubelle, il suffit, lorsque le sac est rempli des déchets, de tirer les liens coulissants 6 à partir des embrèvements 7 pour assurer la fermeture du sac, comme il est bien connu, avec les sacs à liens coulissants existants. La présence des ouvertures constituées par les découpes 8a, 8b n'a aucune importance lorsque les déchets conditionnés dans le sac-poubelle sont destinés à une collecte sélective et sont constitués, par exemple, de papiers, verres ou matières plastiques, ou lorsque le sac n'est pas plein.When the carrying function is completed and the user wants to use this bag as a trash bag, it suffices, when the bag is filled with waste, to pull the sliding links 6 from the recesses 7 to ensure the closure of the bag, as is well known, with the existing drawstring bags. The presence of the openings formed by the cutouts 8, 8b does not matter when conditioned waste in the trash bag are intended for selective collection and consist, for example, paper, glasses or plastics, or when the bag is not full.

En se référant maintenant aux figures 3 et 4, on voit que l'on a représenté un sac dans lequel la zone d'ouverture de chaque face, telle que 11a, comporte une gaine 15 à l'intérieur de laquelle est disposé un lien coulissant 16. Les deux faces du sac sont identiques et reliées l'une à l'autre par des bordures latérales soudées 20, seule la face 11a étant représentée sur les figures 3 et 4. Chaque gaine 15 renferme un lien coulissant 16 en matière plastique soudé à ses deux extrémités au niveau des soudures 20 ; chaque gaine comporte, dans sa partie médiane, un embrèvement 17 analogue à l'embrèvement 7. Le repli 13, qui constitue la gaine 15, est soudé selon une soudure longitudinale 14 mais se prolonge au-delà de cette soudure par une jupe 130, dont le bord longitudinal d'extrémité est soudé sur la face correspondante du sac selon une soudure longitudinale 140. Dans la zone comprise entre les deux soudures longitudinales 14 et 140, chaque face du sac est donc constituée de deux feuilles de matière plastique superposées et, dans cette zone on a pratiqué les découpes permettant le portage du sac. Referring now to Figures 3 and 4, it is seen that there is illustrated a bag in which the opening region of each face, such as 11a, has a sheath 15 within which is disposed a link sliding 16. The two sides of the bag are identical and connected to each other by welded side edges 20, only the side 11 a being shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. Each sheath 15 contains a sliding link 16 made of material plastic welded at its two ends at the welds 20; each sheath has, in its middle part, a recess 17 similar to the recess 7. The fold 13, which constitutes the sheath 15, is welded according to a longitudinal weld 14 but is extended beyond this weld by a skirt 130, the longitudinal end edge of which is welded to the corresponding face of the bag in a longitudinal weld 140. In the zone between the two longitudinal welds 14 and 140, each face of the bag is therefore made up of two superimposed sheets of plastic, and in this area we made the cuts allowing the bag to be carried.

Sur le dessin, on a représenté la découpe 18a prévue dans la face 11a et, selon le même contour, la découpe 180a prévue dans la jupe 130, les deux découpes 18a et 180a étant exactement en vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre ; le même type de découpe se trouve pratiqué dans l'autre face du sac, exactement en vis-à-vis des découpes 18a, 180a. On peut, le cas échéant, prévoir, pour améliorer la résistance de la bordure des découpes 18a, 180a, que l'on soude la face 11a et la jupe 130 tout le long du contour des découpes 18a, 180a ; une telle soudure autour des découpes permet de réduire le risque de déchirement à partir de la découpe lorsque l'on effectue le portage du sac à la main. D'autre part, l'existence d'une double épaisseur dans la zone où sont pratiquées les découpes 18a, 180a permet d'améliorer la résistance du matériau constituant les faces, et le report de charges sur toute la largeur du sac est encore amélioré par la présence de la soudure 140.In the drawing, there is shown the blank 18 is provided in the face 11a and, as the same contour, the cut 180 is provided in the skirt 130, the two cutouts 18 a and 180 a being exactly vis-à-vis one from the other ; the same type of cut is made in the other face of the bag, exactly vis-à-vis the cutouts 18 a, 180 a. It may, where appropriate, include to improve the resistance of the edge of the cutouts 18a, 180 a, which is welded to the face 11 and the skirt 130 along the contour of the cut-outs 18 a, 180 a; such welding around the cutouts reduces the risk of tearing from the cutout when carrying the bag by hand. On the other hand, the existence of a double thickness in the area where are formed the recesses 18 a, 180 a allows to improve the resistance of the material constituting the faces, and the carry loads over the entire width of the bag is further improved by the presence of weld 140.

Lorsque la fonction de portage est terminée pour cette variante de réalisation, l'utilisation du sac comme sac-poubelle s'effectue comme indiqué pour le mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2.When the carrying function is completed for this variant, the use of the bag as a trash bag is carried out as indicated for the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2.
