Description

SACHET COMPRENANT DES PROFILES DE FERMETURE COMPLEMENTAIRES ACTIONNES PAR CURSEUR BAG INCLUDING ADDITIONAL CLOSING CLOSURE PROFILES
La présente invention concerne le domaine des sachets comprenant des profilés de fermeture complémentaires actionnés respectivement à l'ouverture et à la fermeture par un curseurThe present invention relates to the field of sachets comprising complementary closure profiles actuated respectively at the opening and at the closing by a slider
De tels sachets sont décrits par exemple dans les documents EP-A- 0051010, EP-A-0102301 et EP-A-0479661Such sachets are described for example in documents EP-A-0051010, EP-A-0102301 and EP-A-0479661
Ces sachets actionnés à l'ouverture et à la fermeture par un curseur ont déjà rendu de grands servicesThese bags activated at the opening and closing by a slider have already rendered great services
Les curseurs facilitent en effet l'ouverture et la fermeture des sachets La présence d'un curseur est en particulier fort appréciée par les personnes âgées ou malvoyantesThe sliders make it easier to open and close the bags. The presence of a slider is particularly appreciated by the elderly or the visually impaired.
Cependant la majorité des sachets à curseur connus ne donnent pas totalement satisfaction En particulier la plupart de ces sachets ne présentent pas une totale étanchéité en position de fermeture des profilés Ce défaut d'étanchéité est du au fait que les profilés restent séparés, en avant du curseurHowever, the majority of known slider sachets are not entirely satisfactory. In particular, most of these sachets do not have total tightness in the closed position of the profiles. This leakage is due to the fact that the profiles remain separate, in front of the cursor
L'étanchéité est pourtant demandée dans de nombreuses applications, notamment mais non limitativement pour les sachets utilisés pour la congélation de produits alimentairesSealing is however required in many applications, in particular but not limited to sachets used for freezing food products
On a tenté de remédier à cet inconvénient en proposant des profilés de fermeture présentant une discontinuité locale à proximité de l'extrémité recevant le curseur en position fermée du sachet, de sorte que le curseur pénètre dans cette discontinuité et permette un parfait engagement des profilés sur la totalité de leur longueur, en position ferméeWe have tried to remedy this drawback by proposing closure profiles having a local discontinuity near the end receiving the cursor in the closed position of the bag, so that the cursor enters this discontinuity and allows perfect engagement of the profiles on their entire length, in the closed position
Néanmoins les moyens proposés dans ce contexte s'avèrent fort complexes Ils ne permettent d'ailleurs pas toujours une parfaite étanchéité des sachets De plus ils présentent l'inconvénient majeur de ne pas retenir parfaitement le curseur et par conséquent d'occasionner par exemple un risque que le curseur soit ingéré par les jeunes enfantsHowever, the means proposed in this context prove to be very complex. They do not always allow perfect sealing of the sachets. In addition, they have the major drawback of not retaining the cursor perfectly and consequently of causing, for example, a risk. that the cursor is ingested by young children
La présente invention a maintenant pour but d'améliorer les performances des sachets à curseur connus Le but principal de la présente invention est de proposer des sachets présentant une étanchéité supérieure à celle des sachets antérieurs connusThe present invention now aims to improve the performance of known slider bags The main purpose of the present invention is to provide sachets having a greater seal than that of known prior sachets
Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer des moyens limitant le risque de retrait intempestif du curseur, notamment afin de limiter le risque d'ingestion par de jeunes enfantsAnother object of the present invention is to propose means limiting the risk of inadvertent withdrawal of the cursor, in particular in order to limit the risk of ingestion by young children.
Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer des moyens permettant une cadence de productivité élevée en automatiqueAnother object of the present invention is to propose means allowing a high productivity rate in automatic
Ces buts sont atteints dans le cadre de la présente invention grâce à un sachet comportant deux feuilles généralement parallèles formant les parois principales du sachet, des profilés de fermeture complémentaires fixés respectivement sur ces feuilles et un curseur pour actionner les profilés à la fermeture et à l'ouverture, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend en outre, parallèlement aux profilés de fermeture, entre lesdites feuilles et au niveau de l'embouchure du sachet, des moyens additionnels en relief disposés sur l'intérieur des profilés de fermeture, conçus pour assurer l'étanchéité en formant barrage entre les feuilles, en position de fermeture du sachet, lesdits moyens additionnels en relief étant adaptés pour être sollicités vers leur position d'étanchéité par le curseur lorsque le curseur est déplacé vers la position de fermeture du sachetThese aims are achieved in the context of the present invention by means of a bag comprising two generally parallel sheets forming the main walls of the bag, complementary closure profiles fixed respectively to these sheets and a slider for actuating the profiles at closure and at opening, characterized in that it further comprises, parallel to the closure profiles, between said sheets and at the mouth of the bag, additional relief means arranged on the inside of the closure profiles, designed to sealing by forming a barrier between the sheets, in the closed position of the bag, said additional raised means being adapted to be urged towards their sealing position by the cursor when the cursor is moved to the closed position of the bag
Selon certains modes de réalisation lesdits moyens additionnels en relief sont placés en regard des flancs du curseurAccording to certain embodiments, said additional relief means are placed opposite the sides of the cursor.
Comme on le précisera par la suite, de tels moyens additionnels en relief peuvent être formés par exemple d'au moins un bourrelet solidaire de la surface interne d'une feuille du sachet, voire de deux bourrelets symétriques solidaires respectivement de la surface interne des deux feuilles du sachet, ou encore d'éléments complémentaires mâle/femelle solidaires respectivement de la surface interne des deux feuilles du sachetAs will be explained below, such additional means in relief can be formed for example of at least one bead secured to the internal surface of a sheet of the sachet, or even of two symmetrical bulges respectively secured to the internal surface of the two sheets of the bag, or additional male / female elements respectively secured to the internal surface of the two sheets of the bag
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse de la présente invention, le sachet comporte sur son embouchure, des moyens situés à l'opposé desdits moyens additionnels d'étanchéité, par rapport aux profilés de fermeture, et adaptés pour définir un appui entre les faces internes opposées des parois du sachet et il est prévu sur le curseur des moyens aptes à solliciter les parois du sachet, vers l'intérieur, dans une zone de ces parois comprise entre les moyens additionnels d'étanchéité et les moyens d'appui Ainsi on garantit que lesdits moyens additionnels sont sollicités dans une position d'étanchéité, par le curseur De préférence cette sollicitation est faite au droit des profilés de fermetureAccording to another advantageous characteristic of the present invention, the bag comprises on its mouth, means situated opposite said additional sealing means, relative to the closure profiles, and adapted to define a support between the opposite internal faces of the walls of the bag and it is provided on the cursor means able to urge the walls of the bag, inwards, in a zone of these walls between the additional sealing means and the support means. This guarantees that said additional means are urged in a sealing position, by the cursor Preferably this request is made in line with the closing profiles
La présente invention concerne également les films équipés de tels moyens d'étanchéité et de tels profilés de fermeture, ainsi que des bandes extrudées portant ces moyensThe present invention also relates to films equipped with such sealing means and such closure profiles, as well as extruded bands carrying these means.
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse de la présente invention, le sachet comporte deux feuilles généralement parallèles formant les parois principales du sachet, des profilés de fermeture complémentaires fixés respectivement sur ces feuilles au niveau de l'embouchure du sachet et un curseur comportant deux ailes latérales reliées entre elles au niveau d'une embase, placées sur l'extérieur des feuilles au niveau de l'embouchure du sachet et qui définissent avec une semelle centrale allongée, deux couloirs de passage convergents pour les profilés de fermeture complémentaires et le sachet est caractérisé par le fait que la semelle est interrompue en retrait de l'extrémité longitudinale du curseur, au moins sur le côté le plus large du curseur correspondant au côté divergent des couloirs de passage, et que les ailes latérales sont munies au voisinage de leur bord libre opposé à l'embase, de moyens de sollicitation des feuilles du sachet en rapprochement, couvrant toute l'étendue longitudinale de la semelle et s'étendant au delà longitudinalement de part et d'autre de celle- ci, pour assurer l'étanchéité du sachet en position fermée de celui-ci D'autres caractéristiques, buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre et en regard des dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs et sur lesquelsAccording to another advantageous characteristic of the present invention, the bag comprises two generally parallel sheets forming the main walls of the bag, complementary closure profiles fixed respectively on these sheets at the mouth of the bag and a slider comprising two side wings connected between them at a base, placed on the outside of the sheets at the mouth of the bag and which define with an elongated central sole, two converging passageways for the complementary closure profiles and the bag is characterized by the fact that the sole is interrupted back from the longitudinal end of the slider, at least on the widest side of the slider corresponding to the divergent side of the passage lanes, and that the lateral wings are provided in the vicinity of their opposite free edge at the base, means for urging the sheets of the sachet in close proximity, c opening the entire longitudinal extent of the sole and extending beyond it longitudinally on either side thereof, to ensure the tightness of the bag in the closed position thereof Other characteristics, purposes and advantages of the present invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows and with reference to the appended drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples and in which

23 sont fixés sur la surface interne des feuilles 16, 18 Par contre selon la figure 11 , les feuilles 16, 18 formant, à l'embouchure du sachet, un soufflet replié vers l'intérieur du sachet pour former un voile témoin d'ouverture, les voiles support 21 , 23 sont fixés sur la surface externe des feuilles 16, 1823 are fixed on the internal surface of the sheets 16, 18 On the other hand according to FIG. 11, the sheets 16, 18 forming, at the mouth of the sachet, a bellows folded inwardly of the sachet to form an opening control veil , the support webs 21, 23 are fixed on the external surface of the sheets 16, 18
La liaison entre les voiles 21 , 23 et les films 16, 18 peut être réalisée par tout moyen classique approprié, par exemple par soudure à chaud ou collageThe connection between the webs 21, 23 and the films 16, 18 can be achieved by any suitable conventional means, for example by hot welding or gluing
L'utilisation de profilés de fermeture non pas venus d'extrusion sur les films 16, 18, mais rapportés par soudage ou collage n'est illustrée sur les dessins annexés que sur les figures 2, 8, 9 et 11 Cependant, l'utilisation de tels profilés de fermeture 20, 22 rapportés sur les films 16, 18 pourra s'appliquer à l'ensemble des variantes de réalisation conformes à l'inventionThe use of closure profiles not extruded from the films 16, 18, but reported by welding or gluing is illustrated in the accompanying drawings only in Figures 2, 8, 9 and 11 However, the use such closure profiles 20, 22 attached to the films 16, 18 may apply to all of the variant embodiments in accordance with the invention
Comme on l'a indiqué précédemment dans le cadre de la présente invention, le sachet comporte en outre d'une part un curseur 50 adapté pour actionner les profilés 20, 22 à la fermeture et à l'ouverture, et d'autre part, parallèlement aux profilés de fermeture 20, 22, entre lesdites feuilles 16, 18 et au niveau de l'embouchure 12 du sachet, des moyens additionnels en relief 100 conçus pour assurer l'étanchéité en formant barrage entre les feuilles 16, 18, en position de fermeture du sachet, lesdits moyens additionnels en relief 100 étant placés en regard des flancs 52, 54 du curseur 50 pour être sollicités vers leur position d'étanchéité par le curseur 50 lorsque celui-ci est déplacé vers la position d'étanchéitéAs indicated above in the context of the present invention, the bag further comprises on the one hand a slider 50 adapted to actuate the profiles 20, 22 when closing and opening, and on the other hand, parallel to the closure sections 20, 22, between said sheets 16, 18 and at the mouth 12 of the bag, additional relief means 100 designed to ensure sealing by forming a barrier between the sheets 16, 18, in position for closing the bag, said additional relief means 100 being placed opposite the sides 52, 54 of the cursor 50 to be urged towards their sealing position by the cursor 50 when the latter is moved to the sealing position
Le curseur 50 peut faire l'objet de nombreux modes de réalisation classiques Le curseur 50 peut être en particulier conforme aux dispositions décrites dans le document EP-A-0479661The cursor 50 can be the subject of numerous conventional embodiments. The cursor 50 can in particular conform to the provisions described in document EP-A-0479661.
Pour cette raison, le curseur 50 ne sera pas décrit dans le détail par la suiteFor this reason, the cursor 50 will not be described in detail later.
On notera cependant, que de préférence le curseur 50, réalise en matière plastique, comporte deux ailes latérales 52, 54 (ou « flancs ») reliées entre elles au niveau d'une embase 56 et qui définissent avec une semelle centrale allongée (non représentée sur les figures annexées au niveau de la localisation du plan de coupe illustré) deux couloirs de passage convergents pour les profilés de fermeture complémentaires emboîtables 20, 22 Ainsi, lorsque le sens de déplacement relatif du curseur 50 par rapport aux profilés de fermeture 20, 22 tend à déplacer le curseur 50 en forçant les profilés de fermeture 20, 22 en prise, le sachet est ferme Lorsque le curseur 50 est déplacé dans le sens inverse, le sachet est ouvertNote, however, that preferably the cursor 50, made of plastic, has two lateral wings 52, 54 (or "sides") connected to each other at a base 56 and which define with an elongated central sole (not shown in the appended figures at the location of the illustrated cutting plane) two converging passage lanes for complementary nestable closure profiles 20, 22 Thus, when the relative direction of movement of the cursor 50 relative to the closure profiles 20, 22 tends to move the cursor 50 by forcing the closing profiles 20, 22 in engagement, the bag is closed When the cursor 50 is moved in the opposite direction, the bag is open
Les films 16, 18, les profilés de fermeture 20, 22 et les moyens additionnels d'étanchéité 100 peuvent être réalisés en tout matériau plastique approprié connu de l'homme de l'art De préférence, il s'agit de polyoléfine, très avantageusement de polyéthylene basse ou haute densité voire de polypropylène De préférence dans le cadre de la présente invention, les moyensThe films 16, 18, the closure profiles 20, 22 and the additional sealing means 100 can be made of any suitable plastic material known to those skilled in the art. It is preferably polyolefin, very advantageously low or high density polyethylene or even polypropylene Preferably in the context of the present invention, the means
100 sont disposés sur l'intérieur des profilés de fermeture 20, 22 (c'est à dire vers l'intérieur des sachets par rapport à ces profilés de fermeture 20,100 are arranged on the inside of the closing profiles 20, 22 (that is to say towards the inside of the bags relative to these closing profiles 20,
22) et s'étendent sur toute la longueur des sachets (c'est à dire qu'ils possèdent la même longueur que les profilés de fermeture 20, 22)22) and extend over the entire length of the bags (i.e. they have the same length as the closure profiles 20, 22)
Selon le premier mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 1 , lesdits moyens additionnels d'étanchéité 100 sont formés d'un bourrelet 102 parallèle au profilé 20 et solidaire de l'une des feuilles 16 Selon la figure 1 ce bourrelet 102 est venu d'extrusion sur le film 16 En variante cependant comme on l'a évoqué précédemment, le bourrelet 102 pourrait être venu d'extrusion sur un voile support rapporté sur ce film 16According to the first embodiment illustrated in Figure 1, said additional sealing means 100 are formed of a bead 102 parallel to the profile 20 and integral with one of the sheets 16 According to Figure 1 this bead 102 came from extrusion on the film 16 As a variant, however, as mentioned above, the bead 102 could have come from extrusion on a support veil attached to this film 16
Un tel bourrelet 102 est placé en regard des flancs 52, 54 du curseur 50 et sur l'intérieur de ceux-ci Ainsi le bourrelet 102 est sollicité en appui contre le film 18 opposé lorsque le curseur 50 est déplacé en position de fermetureSuch a bead 102 is placed opposite the sides 52, 54 of the cursor 50 and on the inside thereof. Thus the bead 102 is pressed against the opposite film 18 when the cursor 50 is moved to the closed position.
De préférence la géométrie des profilés 20, 22, des moyens 100 et du curseur 50 est telle que les flancs 52, 54 du curseur 50 imposent aux moyens 100, un jeu transversal (le perpendiculairement aux feuilles 16, 18) inférieur à celui toléré pour les profilés de fermeture 20, 22 Pour cela par exemple lorsque les surfaces internes des flancs sont parallèles comme cela est illustre sur les figures annexées, l'épaisseur L1 des moyens 100 est supérieure à celle L2 définie par les profilés de fermeture 20, 22 lorsque ceux-ci sont en prisePreferably the geometry of the sections 20, 22, of the means 100 and of the slider 50 is such that the sides 52, 54 of the slider 50 impose on the means 100, a transverse clearance (perpendicular to the sheets 16, 18) less than that tolerated for the closing profiles 20, 22 For this, for example, when the internal surfaces of the sidewalls are parallel as illustrated in the appended figures, the thickness L1 of the means 100 is greater than that L2 defined by the closing profiles 20, 22 when these are in engagement
Cette relation préférentielle L1 > L2 n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation de la figure 1 mais s'applique à l'ensemble des modes de réalisation de la présente invention, y compris lorsque lesdits moyens d'étanchéité 100 sont formes de deux bourrelets ou encore de moyens complémentaires mâle/femelle ou de tout autre moyen équivalent, comme on le décrira par la suite Cette disposition permet en effet de garantir que les moyens 100 assure un barrage etanche entre les deux films 16 et 18This preferential relationship L1> L2 is not limited to the embodiment of FIG. 1 but applies to all of the embodiments of the present invention, including when said sealing means 100 are formed from two beads or alternatively male / female complementary means or any other equivalent means, as will be described below. This arrangement indeed makes it possible to guarantee that the means 100 ensure a watertight barrier between the two films 16 and 18
Selon le mode de réalisation illustre sur la figure 2, les moyens d'étanchéité 100 sont formes de deux bourrelets 104, 106 solidaires respectivement des deux films 16 et 18 et placés en regard pour venir en contact par leurs sommet pour former un barrage étanche, lorsqu'ils sont sollicités par les flancs 52, 54 du curseur 50 Selon la figure 2, les deux bourrelets 104, 106 sont symétriques Cependant en variante, on peut prévoir des bourrelets 104, 106 dissymétriquesAccording to the embodiment illustrated in Figure 2, the sealing means 100 are in the form of two beads 104, 106 integral respectively of the two films 16 and 18 and placed facing each other to come into contact through their apices to form a tight barrier, when they are stressed by the sides 52, 54 of the cursor 50 According to FIG. 2, the two beads 104, 106 are symmetrical However as a variant, it is possible to provide beads 104, 106 asymmetrical
Selon le mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 3, les moyens d'étanchéité 100 sont formés d'éléments complémentaires 110, 112 mâle/femelle solidaires respectivement de la surface interne des deux feuilles 16, 18 du sachet Plus précisément encore selon la figure 3, l'élément femelle 112 est formé de deux lèvres 1 120 et 1122 adaptées pour venir reposer respectivement sur les flancs de l'élément mâle 110 Selon la figure 3, les deux lèvres 1120, 1122 sont symétriques Cependant en variante, on peut prévoir des deux lèvres 1120, 1122 dissymétriques Par ailleurs l'élément mêle 110 est globalement arrondi Les moyens d'étanchéité 100 illustrés sur la figure 4 sont identiques à ceux de la figure 3 Cependant on notera que selon la figure 4, le curseur 50 possède sur la surface interne de ses flancs 52, 54 des bossages 520, 540 placés en regard des moyens 100 pour garantir la sollicitation de ces derniers en position d'étanchéité, lors de la fermeture du sachet La géométrie de tels bossages 520, 540 peut faire l'objet de nombreuses variantes En variante on peut prévoir de tels bossages sur la surface extérieure des parois 16, 18, en regard du curseur, ou encore de tels bossages sur les parois du sachet et d autres bossages en regard sur le curseur 50 On a illustré sur la figure 5 une autre variante de réalisation selon laquelle l'élément mâle 110 présente une section sensiblement triangulaire Grâce à cette structure on garantit que le contact entre les flancs de l'élément mâle 110 et les lèvres 1120 et 1122 est renforcé lorsque les éléments mâle et femelle 110 et 112 sont sollicités en rapprochement par le curseur 50According to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the sealing means 100 are formed of complementary elements 110, 112 male / female integral respectively with the internal surface of the two sheets 16, 18 of the bag. More precisely still according to FIG. 3 , the female element 112 is formed by two lips 1120 and 1122 adapted to come to rest respectively on the sides of the male element 110 According to FIG. 3, the two lips 1120, 1122 are symmetrical However, as a variant, provision may be made for two asymmetrical lips 1120, 1122 Furthermore, the mixed element 110 is generally rounded. The sealing means 100 illustrated in FIG. 4 are identical to those of FIG. 3 However, it will be noted that according to FIG. 4, the cursor 50 has on the internal surface of its flanks 52, 54 of the bosses 520, 540 placed opposite the means 100 to guarantee the stressing of the latter in the sealing position, during the closing of the sachet The geometry of such bosses 520, 540 can be the subject of numerous variants. and other bosses facing the cursor 50 Another embodiment has been illustrated in FIG. 5 according to which the male element 110 has a substantially triangular section. Thanks to this structure, it is guaranteed that the contact between the sides of the element male 110 and the lips 1120 and 1122 is reinforced when the male and female elements 110 and 112 are brought into contact by the cursor 50
On notera par ailleurs que selon la figure 5 les deux lèvres 1120 et 1122 de l'élément femelle 112 sont dissymétriques De préférence la lèvre 1120 située vers l'intérieur du sachet par rapport a l'élément mâle 110 est plus longue et plus souple que la seconde lèvre 1122 située vers l'extérieur du sachet Ainsi la pression interne du sachet, voire éventuellement directement le contenu de celui-ci, tel qu'un contenu liquide, sollicite la première lèvre 1 120 élastiquement contre l'élément mâle 110 Par contre la seconde lèvre 1122 résiste à un tel effort et par conséquent ne s'écarte pas de l'élément mâle 110Note also that according to Figure 5 the two lips 1120 and 1122 of the female element 112 are asymmetrical Preferably the lip 1120 located towards the inside of the bag relative to the male element 110 is longer and more flexible than the second lip 1122 situated towards the outside of the sachet Thus the internal pressure of the sachet, or even possibly directly the content of the latter, such as a liquid content, urges the first lip 1120 elastically against the male element 110 On the other hand, the second lip 1122 resists such a force and consequently does not deviate from the male element 110
Comme illustré sur les figures 1 à 6 et 10 les moyens 100 peuvent être venus d'extrusion sur les feuilles 16, 18 composant le sachet (plus précisément sur la surface interne de ces feuilles 16, 18 selon les modes de réalisation des figures 1 à 6 et sur la surface externe de ces feuilles selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 10 lorsque les feuilles 16, 18 forment, à I embouchure du sachet, un soufflet replié vers l'intérieur du sachet pour former un voile témoin d'ouverture)As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6 and 10, the means 100 may have come from extrusion on the sheets 16, 18 making up the bag (more precisely on the internal surface of these sheets 16, 18 according to the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 6 and on the external surface of these sheets according to the embodiment of FIG. 10 when the sheets 16, 18 form, at the mouth of the sachet, a bellows folded inwardly of the sachet to form an opening control veil)
Cependant, selon une variante de réalisation, les moyens 100 peuvent être formés initialement sur des voiles support respectifs 121 , 123 rapportés sur les feuilles 16, 18, au niveau de l'embouchure 12 du sachet, comme on l'a illustré sur les figures 7 à 9 et 11 Là encore on notera que selon les figures 7 à 9 les voiles support 121 , 123 sont fixés sur la surface interne des feuilles 16, 18 Par contre selon la figure 1 1 , les feuilles 16, 18 formant, à l'embouchure du sachet, un soufflet replié vers l'intérieur du sachet pour former un voile témoin d'ouverture, les voiles support 121 , 123 sont fixés sur la surface externe des feuilles 16, 18However, according to an alternative embodiment, the means 100 can be formed initially on respective support webs 121, 123 attached to the sheets 16, 18, at the mouth 12 of the bag, as illustrated in the figures 7 to 9 and 11 Here again, it will be noted that according to FIGS. 7 to 9, the support webs 121, 123 are fixed to the internal surface of the sheets 16, 18 On the other hand according to FIG. 11, the sheets 16, 18 forming, at the mouth of the bag, a bellows folded inwards towards the inside of the bag to form an opening control veil, the support veils 121, 123 are fixed to the outer surface of the sheets 16, 18
On notera également que comme illustré sur les figures 8, 9 et 11 , les voiles support 121 et 123 peuvent être respectivement confondus avec les voiles support 21 et 23 des profilés de fermeture 20, 22It will also be noted that, as illustrated in FIGS. 8, 9 and 11, the support webs 121 and 123 can be merged respectively with the support webs 21 and 23 of the closure profiles 20, 22
La liaison entre les voiles 121 , 123 et les films 16, 18 peut être réalisée par tout moyen classique approprié, par exemple par soudure à chaud ou collageThe connection between the webs 121, 123 and the films 16, 18 can be achieved by any suitable conventional means, for example by hot welding or gluing
L'utilisation de moyens 100 non pas venus d'extrusion sur les films 16, 18, mais rapportés par soudage ou collage n'est illustrée sur les dessins annexes que sur les figures 7 a 9 et 11 Cependant, l'utilisation αe tels moyens 100 rapportés sur les films 16, 18 pourra s'appliquer à l'ensemble des variantes de réalisation conformes à l'invention On a illustré sur la figure 6 annexée une variante de réalisation selon laquelle il est prévu d'une part des encoches 160, 180 qui débouchent sur la surface externe du sachet, respectivement en regard des moyens 100, en l'espèce respectivement en regard de l'élément femelle 112 et de l'élément mâle 110, et d'autre part des nervures 522 et 542 en saillie sur la surface interne des flancs 52 et 54 du curseur 50, lesquelles nervures 522 et 542 sont adaptées pour pénétrer respectivement dans lesdites encoches 160 et 180The use of means 100 not extruded from the films 16, 18, but reported by welding or gluing is illustrated in the accompanying drawings only in Figures 7 to 9 and 11 However, the use of such means 100 reported on the films 16, 18 can be applied to all of the variant embodiments in accordance with the invention There is illustrated in FIG. 6 appended an alternative embodiment according to which there are provided on the one hand notches 160, 180 which open on the external surface of the bag, respectively opposite the means 100, in this case respectively opposite the female element 112 and the male element 110, and on the other hand ribs 522 and 542 projecting from the internal surface of the sides 52 and 54 of the slider 50, which ribs 522 and 542 are adapted to penetrate respectively into said said notches 160 and 180
La coopération ainsi définie entre les encoches 160, 180 et les nervures 522 et 542 permet d'améliorer la sollicitation des moyens 100 par le curseur 50 En effet elle permet de localiser précisément la zone de sollicitation due au curseur 50 Elle permet également de retenir en toute sécurité le curseur 50 sur le sachet Cette coopération interdit en effet tout retrait intempestif du curseur 50 L'utilisation de nervures 522 et 542 et d'encoches complémentairesThe cooperation thus defined between the notches 160, 180 and the ribs 522 and 542 makes it possible to improve the stress on the means 100 by the cursor 50 In fact it makes it possible to precisely locate the stress zone due to the cursor 50 It also makes it possible to retain in safely the cursor 50 on the bag This cooperation in fact prohibits any untimely withdrawal of the cursor 50 The use of ribs 522 and 542 and complementary notches
160, 180 n'est illustrée sur les dessins annexés que sur la figure 6 Cependant, l'utilisation de telles nervures 522 et 542 et d'encoches complémentaires 160, 180 pourra s'appliquer à l'ensemble des variantes de réalisation conformes à l'invention Le mode de réalisation de la figure 7 a été décrit précédemment II se distingue essentiellement des modes αe réalisation illustrés sur les figures antérieures par le fait que les moyens 100 sont portés par des voiles support respectifs 121 , 123 rapportés sur les feuilles 16 et 18, comme indiqué précédemment Le mode de réalisation de la figure 8 a été décrit précédemment II se distingue essentiellement des modes de réalisation illustrés sur les figures antérieures par le fait que les moyens 100 sont portés par des voiles support respectifs 121 , 123 confondus avec les voiles support 21 et 23 des profilés 20, 22 et rapportés sur les feuilles 16 et 18, comme indiqué précédemment160, 180 is illustrated in the appended drawings only in FIG. 6 However, the use of such ribs 522 and 542 and complementary notches 160, 180 may be applied to all of the variant embodiments in accordance with l The invention The embodiment of FIG. 7 has been described previously. It is essentially distinguished from the embodiments illustrated in the previous figures by the fact that the means 100 are carried by respective support webs 121, 123 reported on the sheets 16 and 18, as indicated previously. The embodiment of FIG. 8 has been described previously. It differs essentially from the embodiments illustrated in the previous figures by the fact that the means 100 are carried by respective support webs 121, 123 combined with the support webs 21 and 23 of the profiles 20, 22 and attached to the sheets 16 and 18, as indicated above
Il en est de même pour le mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 9 Cependant en outre selon la figure 9, les voiles support 121 , 21 et 123, 23 sont reliés entre eux par une boucle 24 Celle ci est disposée sur l'intérieur des moyens 100 et a sa concavité dirigée vers l'extérieur du sachetIt is the same for the embodiment illustrated in Figure 9 However, further according to Figure 9, the support webs 121, 21 and 123, 23 are connected together by a loop 24 This is arranged on the inside of the means 100 and has its concavity directed towards the outside of the bag
Ainsi ces voiles support 121 , 21 , 123, 23 et 24 forment un voile anti- violation ou témoin d'ouverture au niveau de l'embouchure 12 II convient en effet de rompre ce voile 24 avant d'accéder à l'intérieur du sachet Ce voile anti-violation 24 est formé d'un soufflet replié vers l'intérieur du sachet, au niveau de l'embouchure 12 dans la continuité des voiles support 121 , 21 et 123, 23Thus these support sails 121, 21, 123, 23 and 24 form an anti-violation veil or opening indicator at the mouth 12 It is indeed advisable to break this veil 24 before accessing the interior of the sachet This anti-violation veil 24 is formed by a bellows folded towards the inside of the bag, at the mouth 12 in the continuity of the support veils 121, 21 and 123, 23
On a illustré sur les figures 10 et 11 des variantes de réalisation selon lesquelles un tel voile anti-violation ou témoin d'ouverture, référencéFIGS. 10 and 11 have illustrated alternative embodiments according to which such an anti-violation veil or opening indicator, referenced
19, est formé par un pli dans le film composant les feuilles principales 16, 18 du sachet Selon la figure 10 les profilés 20, 22 et les moyens 100 sont venus de moulage sur ce film En revanche selon la figure 11 , les profilés19, is formed by a fold in the film making up the main sheets 16, 18 of the bag. According to FIG. 10, the profiles 20, 22 and the means 100 have come from molding on this film. However, according to FIG. 11, the profiles
20, 22 et les moyens 100 sont portés par des voiles support 121 , 21 et 123, 23 rapportés sur le film20, 22 and the means 100 are carried by support webs 121, 21 and 123, 23 attached to the film
Un tel soufflet 19 dirigé vers l'intérieur du sachet peut être conformé par tout moyen connu approprie, par exemple à l'aide d'une lame sollicitant le soufflet 19 vers l'intérieur entre les feuilles 16, 18, comme cela est bien connu de l'homme de l'art L'homme de l'art comprendra aisément, que de façon classique en soi, il convient de rompre le voile anti-violation 24 ou 19 pour accéder au produit contenu dans le sachet 10Such a bellows 19 directed towards the inside of the bag can be shaped by any suitable known means, for example using a blade urging the bellows 19 inwards between the sheets 16, 18, as is well known. skilled in the art Those skilled in the art will readily understand that in a conventional manner, it is necessary to break the anti-violation veil 24 or 19 to access the product contained in the sachet 10
Ainsi, l'état du voile 24 ou 19 permet d'indiquer si une intervention a eu lieu ou non sur le sachet 10 Afin de faciliter l'ouverture du voile 24 ou 19, celui-ci peut être muni, de façon connue en soi, d'une ligne de faiblesse ou de prédécoupe, par exemple à mi-largeur, comme illustré schématiquement sous la référence 190 sur les figures 10 et 11Thus, the state of the veil 24 or 19 makes it possible to indicate whether an intervention has taken place or not on the bag 10 In order to facilitate the opening of the veil 24 or 19, the latter can be provided, in a manner known per se , a line of weakness or precut, for example at mid-width, as illustrated schematically under the reference 190 in Figures 10 and 11
Les sachets obtenus dans le cadre de la présente invention offrent de nombreux avantages par rapport aux sachets antérieurs connusThe sachets obtained in the context of the present invention offer many advantages compared to known prior sachets
En particulier, ils permettent une cadence de productivité élevée et une bonne étanchéité des sachets Par ailleurs, la coopération définie entre les encoches 160, 180 et les nervures 522, 542 des curseurs 50 permet d'éviter tout retrait intempestif des curseurs 50 sous l'effet de la pression interne aux sachets ou encore sous l'effet d'une sollicitation par un usager Le cas échéant, dans le cadre des modes de réalisation illustrés sur les figures 10 et 11 pour lesquels il est prévu un voile anti-violation 19 formé par un pli du film composant les sachets, on peut prévoir une soudure entre les surfaces internes des feuillets principaux 16, 18 composant le sachet et les tronçons 162, 182 formant le soufflet correspondant au voile anti- intrusion 19 comme on l'a schématisé sous la référence 60 sur les figures 10 et 11In particular, they allow a high productivity rate and a good seal of the bags. Furthermore, the cooperation defined between the notches 160, 180 and the ribs 522, 542 of the sliders 50 makes it possible to avoid any untimely withdrawal of the sliders 50 under the effect of the internal pressure in the sachets or even under the effect of a solicitation by a user Where appropriate, in the context of the embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11 for which an anti-violation veil 19 is provided, formed by a fold of the film making up the bags, a weld can be provided between the internal surfaces of the main sheets 16, 18 making up the bag and the sections 162, 182 forming the bellows corresponding to the anti-intrusion veil 19 as shown diagrammatically under the reference 60 in FIGS. 10 and 11
Bien entendu la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation particuliers qui viennent d'être décrits, mais s'étend à toutes variantes conformes à son esprit Les sachets conformes à la présente invention peuvent être réalisés sur tout type de machines connues et appropriées, notamment sur des machines de type FFS (Form, Fill and Seal), c'est à dire des machines conçues pour réaliser automatiquement des opérations de formation, remplissage et fermeture de sachets Par ailleurs la présente invention s'applique aussi bien à des mises en œuvre selon lesquelles les profilés de fermeture sont disposés longitudinalement en référence à la direction de défilement du film qu'à des mises en œuvre selon lesquelles les profilés de fermeture sont disposés transversalement De plus la présente invention s'applique aussi bien à des mises en œuvre selon lesquelles, les profilés de fermeture sont prééquipés du curseur lorsqu'ils sont acheminés sur la machine de formation de sachets, qu'à des mises en œuvre selon lesquelles le curseur est disposé ultérieurement sur les profilés On notera par ailleurs que la présente invention n'est pas limitée à la géométrie des encoches 160 180 et nervures 522, 542 illustrées sur la figure 6 annexée En effet ces encoches 160, 180 et nervures 522, 542 peuvent faire l'objet de nombreuses variantes de réalisation quant à leur section droite Ainsi, par exemple on peut envisager de donner aux encoches 522, 542 une section droite à bords convergents, par exemple en queue d'aronde ou en forme de rail (par exemple en T ou autres) Une telle disposition renforce le maintien du curseur 50 sur les sachets Comme indiqué précédemment, de préférence, dans le cadre de la présente invention, les moyens d'étanchéité 100 ainsi que les profilés de fermeture 20, 22 s'étendent sur toute la largeur du sachet En revanche, par définition, le curseur 50 ne s'étend que sur une zone limitée de cette largeur Par conséquent, le curseur 50 ne peut à lui seul solliciter les moyens d'étanchéité 100 en permanence sur toute leur longueurOf course, the present invention is not limited to the particular embodiments which have just been described, but extends to all variants in accordance with its spirit. The sachets in accordance with the present invention can be produced on any type of known machine and suitable, in particular on machines of the FFS (Form, Fill and Seal) type, that is to say machines designed to automatically carry out operations for forming, filling and closing sachets. Furthermore, the present invention also applies to implementations according to which the closure profiles are arranged longitudinally with reference to the direction of travel of the film than to implementations according to which the closure profiles are arranged transversely Furthermore, the present invention applies equally to layouts according to which, the closure profiles are pre-equipped with the slider when they are routed on the bag forming machine, only in implementations according to which the cursor is later placed on the sections. It will also be noted that the present invention is not limited to the geometry of the notches 160 180 and ribs 522, 542 illustrated on Figure 6 attached Indeed these notches 160, 180 and ribs 522, 542 can be the subject of many alternative embodiments as to their straight section Thus, for example, it is conceivable to give the notches 522, 542 a straight section with converging edges, for example in a dovetail or in the form of a rail (for example in a T or other). Such an arrangement reinforces the maintenance of the cursor 50 on the sachets As indicated above, preferably, in the context of the present invention, the sealing means 100 as well as the closure profiles 20, 22 extend over the entire width of the sachet. However, by definition, the slider 50 only extends over a limited area of this width Consequently, the slider 50 cannot alone solicit the sealing means 100 permanently over their entire length
Comme indiqué précédemment, pour garantir l'étanchéité, on peut envisager de donner au moyen 100 une épaisseur L1 supérieure à celle L2 des profilés de fermeture 20, 22As indicated above, to guarantee sealing, it is conceivable to give the means 100 a thickness L1 greater than that L2 of the closure profiles 20, 22
D'autres moyens peuvent être prévus pour induire une pression P transversale aux parois 16, 18 sur les moyens 100, en position de fermeture du sachet afin d'assurer une bonne étanchéité Cette pression P est schématisée sur les figures 2 et 5 Néanmoins, ces dispositions peuvent là encore s'appliquer à l'ensemble des modes de réalisation conformes à la présente invention Ainsi, dans le cadre de la présente invention, selon une variante, les profilés de fermeture 20, 22 sont adaptés pour assurer automatiquement une telle sollicitation P des moyens 100 lorsque le sachet est ferméOther means can be provided to induce a pressure P transverse to the walls 16, 18 on the means 100, in the closed position of the bag in order to ensure good sealing. This pressure P is shown diagrammatically in FIGS. 2 and 5 Nevertheless, these provisions can again apply to all of the embodiments in accordance with the present invention. Thus, in the context of the present invention, according to a variant, the closure profiles 20, 22 are adapted to automatically provide such stress P means 100 when the bag is closed
Différentes géométπes des profilés de fermeture 20, 22 peuvent être retenues pour cela Dans le cas de profilés de fermeture complémentaires type mâle/femelle comme illustré sur la figure 2, on peut par exemple prévoir un profil femelle dissymétrique, notamment tel que L3 soit inférieur à L4, c'est- à-dire que la hauteur ou encombrement L3 de l'élément 220 définissant la lèvre interne du profil femelle 22 soit inférieur à la hauteur ou encombrement L4 de l'élément 222 définissant la lèvre externe du profil femelle 22Different geometry of the closing profiles 20, 22 can be retained for this. In the case of complementary closing profiles of the male / female type as illustrated in FIG. 2, one can for example provide an asymmetrical female profile, in particular such that L3 is less than L4, that is to say that the height or overall dimensions L3 of the element 220 defining the internal lip of the female profile 22 is less than the height or overall dimensions L4 of the element 222 defining the external lip of the female profile 22
L'homme de l'art comprendra que grâce a cette disposition, l'élément interne 220 du profil femelle 22 induit une contrainte sur les moyens d'étanchéité 100 à l'état fermé du sachet, c'est-à-dire lorsque l'élément mâle 20 est en prise avec l'élément femelle 22 et ce sur toute la longueur des moyens 100Those skilled in the art will understand that thanks to this arrangement, the internal element 220 of the female profile 22 induces a constraint on the means sealing 100 in the closed state of the bag, that is to say when the male element 20 is engaged with the female element 22 and this over the entire length of the means 100
Un effet similaire peut être obtenu avec un profil mâle 20 dissymétrique (combiné le cas échéant avec un profil femelle 22 également dissymétrique comme indiqué précédemment)A similar effect can be obtained with a dissymmetrical male profile 20 (combined if necessary with a female profile 22 also asymmetrical as indicated above)
Dans le cas de profilés de fermeture complémentaire type crochet comme illustré sur la figure 5, on peut par exemple prévoir que les deux crochets complémentaires C1 , C2 situés vers l'intérieur du sachet définissent en position assemblée une largeur L5 entre les faces internes des feuilles 16, 18 inférieure à la largeur L6 prise entre les mêmes faces des feuilles 16, 18 au niveau de la paire de crochets complémentaires C3, C4 situés vers l'extérieur du sachet Cette disposition permet d'assurer la même contrainte sur toute la longueur des moyens 100 On a illustré sur la figure 12 une variante de réalisation selon laquelle les deux éléments 104, 106 solidaires respectivement de la surface interne des feuilles 16, 18 ne sont pas positionnés pour venir en appui par leur sommet, comme indiqué précédemment en regard de la figure 2, mais sont positionnés pour être juxtaposés et venir en appui au niveau de leur flancs adjacents en regard 103, 105 globalement perpendiculaires aux feuilles 16 et 18In the case of additional hook-type closure profiles as illustrated in FIG. 5, one can for example provide that the two complementary hooks C1, C2 located towards the inside of the bag define in the assembled position a width L5 between the internal faces of the sheets 16, 18 less than the width L6 taken between the same faces of the sheets 16, 18 at the level of the pair of complementary hooks C3, C4 situated towards the outside of the bag This arrangement makes it possible to ensure the same stress over the entire length of the means 100 An alternative embodiment has been illustrated in FIG. 12 according to which the two elements 104, 106 secured respectively to the internal surface of the sheets 16, 18 are not positioned to come to bear by their apex, as indicated above opposite Figure 2, but are positioned to be juxtaposed and come to rest at their adjacent flanks opposite 103, 105 generally perpendicular icons on sheets 16 and 18
On notera que de préférence selon les modes de réalisation illustrés sur les figures 12 et suivantes, le curseur 50 est muni sur les extrémités de ses ailes latérales 52, 54, de retours 53, 55 respectifs dirigés vers l'intérieur du sachet Ces retours 53, 55 sont positionnés pour être situés au delà des moyens d'étanchéité 100 D'une part ces retours 53, 55 participent à l'étanchéité du sachet D'autre part ces retours 53, 55 participent au maintien du curseur 50 sur les sachets pour interdire un retrait intempestif du curseur Comme on le voit sur la figure 12, ces retours 53, 55 sollicitent les feuilles 16, 18 en rapprochement, au delà des moyens d'étanchéité 100 On notera également que selon les modes de réalisation illustres sur les figures 12 et suivantes, de préférence, les portions de films supports 16, 18 situés en regard des profilés de fermeture 20, 22 et des moyens d'étanchéité 100, possèdent une épaisseur supérieure à l'épaisseur du reste du film composant le sachet Cette surépaisseur des films supports 16, 18 au droit du curseur 50 permet de maintenir les moyens 100 dans leur position d'étanchéité lorsque le sachet est en position fermée Une telle surépaisseur localisée des films 16, 18 peut être obtenue sous forme d'une surépaisseur formée à l'extrusion du film ou encore peut résulter de la fixation de voiles supports des profilés de fermeture 20, 22 ou des moyens 100, comme indiqué précédemmentIt will be noted that preferably according to the embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 12 and following, the cursor 50 is provided on the ends of its lateral wings 52, 54, with respective returns 53, 55 directed towards the inside of the bag. These returns 53 , 55 are positioned to be located beyond the sealing means 100 On the one hand these returns 53, 55 participate in the sealing of the bag On the other hand these returns 53, 55 participate in maintaining the cursor 50 on the bags for prohibit an inadvertent withdrawal of the cursor As can be seen in FIG. 12, these returns 53, 55 urge the sheets 16, 18 towards each other, beyond the sealing means 100 It will also be noted that according to the embodiments illustrated in the figures 12 and following, preferably, the portions of support films 16, 18 situated opposite the closure profiles 20, 22 and the means sealing 100, have a thickness greater than the thickness of the rest of the film making up the bag. This additional thickness of the supporting films 16, 18 to the right of the slider 50 makes it possible to maintain the means 100 in their sealing position when the bag is in closed position Such localized excess thickness of the films 16, 18 can be obtained in the form of an additional thickness formed when the film is extruded, or else it can result from the fixing of support webs of the closure profiles 20, 22 or means 100, such as previously indicated
On a illustré sur la figure 13 une autre variante de réalisation selon laquelle les deux éléments 104, 106 solidaires respectivement de la surface interne des feuilles 16, 18 sont munis à leur sommet d'une aile respective 1040, 1060 orthogonale audits éléments Ainsi lesdites ailes 1040, 1060 s'étendent globalement parallèlement aux feuilles 16, 18 Les éléments 104, 106 sont en appui à leur sommet par l'intermédiaire de ces ailes 1040, 1060Another embodiment has been illustrated in FIG. 13 according to which the two elements 104, 106 secured respectively to the internal surface of the sheets 16, 18 are provided at their top with a respective wing 1040, 1060 orthogonal to said elements Thus said wings 1040, 1060 extend generally parallel to the sheets 16, 18 The elements 104, 106 are supported at their top by means of these wings 1040, 1060
Selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 13, lesdites ailes 1040, 1060 sont dirigées vers l'intérieur du sachet En variante on peut prévoir que les ailes 1040, 1060 sont au contraire dirigées vers l'extérieur du sachet Selon encore une autre variante, on peut prévoir de telles ailes 1040, 1060 sur le sommet des éléments 104, 106 à la fois vers l'intérieur et vers l'extérieur du sachet Dans ce cas, les éléments 104, 106 munis des ailes 1040, 1060 ont la forme générale d'un TAccording to the embodiment of FIG. 13, said wings 1040, 1060 are directed towards the inside of the bag. As a variant, it can be provided that the wings 1040, 1060 are on the contrary directed towards the outside of the bag. According to yet another variant, such wings 1040, 1060 can be provided on the top of the elements 104, 106 both inward and outward of the bag. In this case, the elements 104, 106 provided with the wings 1040, 1060 have the general shape of a T
On a illustré sur la figure 14 une variante de réalisation de la figure 12 selon laquelle l'un au moins des deux éléments juxtaposés 104, 106 est muni à son sommet d'une aile 1060 orthogonale Celle ci est destinée à venir reposer contre la face interne de la feuille 16 opposée pour parfaire l'étanchéité Selon la figure 14 on a représenté une telle aile 1060 sur l'un seulement des éléments 106 En variante on peut cependant prévoir une telle aile additionnelle destinée à venir reposer contre la face interne de la feuille opposée sur le sommet des deux éléments 104, 106There is illustrated in FIG. 14 an alternative embodiment of FIG. 12 according to which at least one of the two juxtaposed elements 104, 106 is provided at its top with an orthogonal wing 1060 This is intended to come to rest against the face internal of the opposite sheet 16 to perfect the sealing. According to FIG. 14, such a wing 1060 is shown on only one of the elements 106. As a variant, it is however possible to provide such an additional wing intended to come to rest against the internal face of the opposite sheet on the top of the two elements 104, 106
On a illustré sur la figure 15 une autre variante de réalisation de la figure 12 selon laquelle les deux éléments juxtaposes 104, 106 sont munis à leur sommet d'une excroissance arrondie 1042, 1062 Celle ci est destinée à venir reposer contre la face interne de la feuille 16, 18opposée pour parfaire l'étanchéité Selon la figure 15, il est prévu une telle excroissance sur les deux éléments 104, 106 En variante on peut prévoir une telle excroissance 1042, 1062 sur un seul élément 104, 106 Selon la figure 15 ces excroissances ont une section droite circulaire et sont symétriques par rapport au plan médian des éléments 104, 106 Cependant l'invention n'est pas limitée à cette géométrie particulièreFIG. 15 illustrates another alternative embodiment of FIG. 12 according to which the two juxtaposed elements 104, 106 are provided at their top with a rounded protrusion 1042, 1062 This is intended to come to rest against the internal face of the sheet 16, 18 opposite to perfect the sealing. According to FIG. 15, there is provided such a protrusion on the two elements 104, 106 As a variant, such protuberance 1042, 1062 can be provided on a single element 104, 106 According to FIG. 15, these protuberances have a circular cross section and are symmetrical with respect to the median plane of the elements 104, 106 However, the invention is not limited to this particular geometry
On a illustré sur la figure 16 une variante de réalisation de la figure 13 selon laquelle le curseur 50 est en outre muni au niveau des extrémités de chacun des retours 53, 55 d'une aile additionnelle 530, 550 dirigée vers l'embase 56 du curseur 50, c'est à dire vers l'extérieur du sachet Ces ailes 530, 550 sont ainsi orientées globalement parallèlement aux ailes latérales 52, 54 du curseur 50 Ces ailes additionnelles 530, 550 sont conçues pour prendre position dans le volume défini entre les feuilles 16, 18 et les 1040, 1060 des moyens d'étanchéité 100 On comprend à l'examen de la figure 16 que ces ailes 530, 550 assurent une ondulation sur les feuilles 16, 18 propre à renforcer encore l'étanchéité des sachets obtenusFIG. 16 illustrates an alternative embodiment of FIG. 13 according to which the cursor 50 is further provided at the ends of each of the returns 53, 55 with an additional wing 530, 550 directed towards the base 56 of the cursor 50, ie towards the outside of the bag These wings 530, 550 are thus oriented generally parallel to the lateral wings 52, 54 of the cursor 50 These additional wings 530, 550 are designed to take position in the volume defined between the sheets 16, 18 and the sealing means 1040, 1060 100 On examining FIG. 16, it is understood that these wings 530, 550 ensure undulation on the sheets 16, 18 capable of further strengthening the tightness of the sachets obtained
Selon les modes de réalisation précédemment décrits, le curseur 50 présente une symétrie par rapport à un plan longitudinal Ainsi selon les figures 12 à 14, chacun des flancs 52, 54 est muni d'un retour 53, 55According to the embodiments previously described, the cursor 50 has symmetry with respect to a longitudinal plane. Thus according to FIGS. 12 to 14, each of the sides 52, 54 is provided with a return 53, 55.
En revanche selon la variante illustrée sur la figure 17, le curseur présente une dissymétrie en ce sens que seul l'un 52 des flancs est muni d'un tel retour 53 dirigé vers l'intérieur du sachetOn the other hand according to the variant illustrated in FIG. 17, the cursor has an asymmetry in the sense that only one 52 of the flanks is provided with such a return 53 directed towards the inside of the bag.
On a illustré sur la figure 18 une variante de réalisation de la figure 17 selon laquelle ce retour 53 est muni sur sa surface interne, d'un bossage 532 dirigé vers l'embase 56 pour solliciter les deux éléments juxtaposés 104, 106 en appui par l'intermédiaire de leur flancs adjacents 103 105 Pour cela le bossage 532 exerce sur l'élément 104 une sollicitation dirigée vers l'embase 56 On a illustré sur la figure 19 une autre variante de réalisation selon laquelle les portions de films supports 16, 18 portant les profiles de fermeture 20, 22 et les moyens d'étanchéité 100 ne sont pas situes dans le prolongement direct des feuilles composant le corps du sachet, mais sont décalées vers l'extérieur du sachet au niveau de décrochements respectifs 1600, 1800 Ces décrochements 1600, 1800 peuvent être obtenus par extrusion lors de la fabrication du film ou être obtenus ultérieurement par pliage du film On comprend à l'examen de la figure 19 que de tels décrochements 1600, 1800 permettent de faciliter la juxtaposition des feuilles 16, 18 à la sortie du curseur 50, bien que les feuilles 16, 18 soient nécessairement séparées, à l'intérieur du curseur en raison de la présence des profilés de fermeture 20, 22 et des moyens 100There is illustrated in FIG. 18 an alternative embodiment of FIG. 17 according to which this return 53 is provided on its internal surface with a boss 532 directed towards the base 56 to urge the two juxtaposed elements 104, 106 supported by through their adjacent sides 103 105 For this, the boss 532 exerts on the element 104 a bias directed towards the base 56 Another FIG. 19 is illustrated in another embodiment according to which the portions of support films 16, 18 carrying the closure profiles 20, 22 and the sealing means 100 are not located in direct extension of the sheets making up the body of the bag, but are offset towards the outside of the bag at respective recesses 1600, 1800 These recesses 1600, 1800 can be obtained by extrusion during the production of the film or can be obtained subsequently by folding the film. It will be understood on examining FIG. 19 that such recesses 1600, 1800 make it possible to facilitate the juxtaposition of the sheets 16, 18 at the exit of the cursor 50, although the sheets 16, 18 are necessarily separated, inside the cursor due to the presence of the closure profiles 20 , 22 and means 100
On notera également à l'examen de la figure 19 que le cas échéant l'un des décrochements 1800 peut être muni lui même d'un prolongement 1802 dirigé vers la feuille support opposée 16 Ce prolongement 1802 est conçu pour venir reposer contre le décrochement 1600 opposé afin la encore de renforcer l'étanchéité des sachets obtenusIt will also be noted on examining FIG. 19 that if necessary one of the recesses 1800 may itself be provided with an extension 1802 directed towards the opposite support sheet 16 This extension 1802 is designed to come to rest against the recess 1600 opposite so as to further strengthen the tightness of the sachets obtained
On a illustré sur la figure 20 une variante de réalisation selon laquelle il est prévu d'une part un bossage 530 ou retour vers l'intérieur du curseur sur le retour unique 53 et d'autre part un élément 106 en saillie sur la feuille 18 Ainsi comme on le voit sur la figure 20, le bossage 530 impose une incurvation ou trajet en labyrinthe à la seconde feuille 16 en sortie du curseur 50, propre la encore à renforcer l'étanchéité du sachet obtenu On a illustré sur la figure 21 une variante de réalisation de la figureThere is illustrated in FIG. 20 an alternative embodiment according to which there is provided on the one hand a boss 530 or return towards the interior of the cursor on the single return 53 and on the other hand an element 106 projecting from the sheet 18 Thus, as can be seen in FIG. 20, the boss 530 imposes a curvature or labyrinth path on the second sheet 16 at the outlet of the cursor 50, again suitable for reinforcing the tightness of the sachet obtained. FIG. variant of the figure
12 selon laquelle l'un au moins des deux éléments 104 ou 106 présente une épaisseur croissante en direction de son sommet ou possède un flanc incliné de telle sorte qu'il exerce un effort sur l'autre élément 106 ou 104 juxtaposé, en position de fermeture du sachet On a illustré sur les figures 22 et suivantes des variantes de réalisation selon lesquelles les moyens d'étanchéité 100 sont formés essentiellement de structures souples et élastiques, pour être défomnables lors de la fermeture du sachet, alors que selon les représentations données sur les figures 12 à 21 , les moyens 100 sont essentiellement rigides On a ainsi illustre sur la figure 22 une variante de réalisation selon laquelle les moyens d'étanchéité 100 comprennent une lèvre incurvée, souple et élastique 130 solidaire de la feuille 18 portant le profilé de fermeture femelle 22 En variante une telle lèvre souple et élastique 130 pourrait être solidaire de la feuille 16 qui porte le profilé de fermeture mâle 2012 according to which at least one of the two elements 104 or 106 has an increasing thickness towards its apex or has an inclined side so that it exerts a force on the other element 106 or 104 juxtaposed, in the position of closing the bag FIGS. 22 et seq. have illustrated alternative embodiments according to which the sealing means 100 are formed essentially of flexible and elastic structures, so as to be defomnable when the bag is closed, while according to the representations given on Figures 12 to 21, the means 100 are essentially rigid There is thus illustrated in Figure 22 an alternative embodiment according to which the sealing means 100 comprise a curved, flexible and elastic lip 130 integral with the sheet 18 carrying the profile female closure 22 As a variant, such a flexible and elastic lip 130 could be integral with the sheet 16 which carries the male closure profile 20
Selon la figure 22 la lèvre 130 est formée d'un secteur de cylindre dont l'angle au centre est supérieur à 180° Selon la figure 22, la concavité de la lèvre 130 est dirigée vers l'intérieur du sachet En variante cependant on pourrait prévoir que la concavité de la lèvre 130 soit dirigée vers l'extérieur du sachetAccording to FIG. 22, the lip 130 is formed of a cylinder sector whose angle at the center is greater than 180 °. According to FIG. 22, the concavity of the lip 130 is directed towards the inside of the bag. Alternatively, however, one could provide that the concavity of the lip 130 is directed towards the outside of the bag
Comme on le voit sur la figure 22, en position de fermeture du sachet le sommet de la lèvre 130 vient reposer contre la feuille support opposée 16 Pour cela comme on le voit sur la figure 23, à l'état ouvert du sachet, ladite lèvre 130 s'étend au delà du profilé de fermeture associé 22 Grâce à cette disposition on garantit que à l'état ferme du sachet, ladite lèvre 130 exerce une pression sur la feuille opposée 16As can be seen in FIG. 22, in the closed position of the bag the top of the lip 130 comes to rest against the opposite support sheet 16 For this, as can be seen in FIG. 23, in the open state of the bag, said lip 130 extends beyond the associated closure profile 22 Thanks to this arrangement, it is guaranteed that in the closed state of the bag, said lip 130 exerts pressure on the opposite sheet 16
On a illustré sur la figure 24 une variante de réalisation de la figure 22 selon laquelle la localisation de la lèvre 130 et la géométrie de cette lèvre 130 sont telles que ladite lèvre 130, lorsqu'elle repose sur la feuille 16 opposée, reçoit une réaction qui la sollicite elle même en appui contre l'un des profilés de fermeture, en l'espèce le profile de fermeture femelle 22There is illustrated in FIG. 24 an alternative embodiment of FIG. 22 according to which the location of the lip 130 and the geometry of this lip 130 are such that said lip 130, when it rests on the opposite sheet 16, receives a reaction which itself urges it to bear against one of the closure profiles, in this case the female closure profile 22
On a illustré sur la figure 25 une autre variante de réalisation selon laquelle une telle sollicitation de la lèvre 130 en appui contre l'élément de fermeture femelle 22 est renforcée par la présence sur la surface interne des flancs 52, 54 du curseur 50 de bossage 520, 540. En l'espèce selon la représentation donnée sur la figure 25, ces bossages 520, 540 ont un profil général triangulaire Cependant ces bossages 520, 540 ne sont pas limités à cette géométrie et peuvent faire l'objet de nombreuses variantes de réalisationAnother embodiment has been illustrated in FIG. 25 according to which such a biasing of the lip 130 bearing against the female closing element 22 is reinforced by the presence on the internal surface of the sides 52, 54 of the boss 50 of the boss. 520, 540. In the present case, according to the representation given in FIG. 25, these bosses 520, 540 have a general triangular profile. However, these bosses 520, 540 are not limited to this geometry and can be the subject of numerous variants of production
On notera que sur la figure 25 la semelle centrale du curseur 50 qui contrôle l'engagement, respectivement la séparation des profilés de fermeture 20, 22 est référencée 57 On a illustré sur la figure 26 une vue latérale d'un sachet ainsi équipé On distingue sur cette figure 26 un curseur 50 possédant de tels bossages de sollicitation 520, 540, ainsi que les profilés de fermeture 20, 22 et les moyens d'étanchéité 100 On notera à l'examen de la figure 26 que de préférence les bossages 520, 540 ne s'étendent que sur une partie de la longueur du curseur 50 et par ailleurs convergent vers l'embase supérieur 56 du curseur 50 en rapprochement de l'extrémité du curseur 50 située côté ouverture du sachet Grâce à cette disposition, les bossages 520, 540 sollicitent la lèvre 130 en appui contre le profilé de fermeture 22, à proximité de la zone d'ouverture du sachetIt will be noted that in FIG. 25 the central sole of the cursor 50 which controls the engagement, respectively the separation of the closure sections 20, 22 is referenced 57. FIG. 26 shows a side view of a bag thus equipped. in this FIG. 26, a cursor 50 having such biasing bosses 520, 540, as well as the closure profiles 20, 22 and the sealing means 100. It will be noted on examining FIG. 26 that preferably the bosses 520, 540 extend only over a part of the length of the slider 50 and moreover converge towards the upper base 56 of the slider 50 near the end of the slider 50 situated on the opening side of the bag. this arrangement, the bosses 520, 540 urge the lip 130 to bear against the closure profile 22, near the opening zone of the bag
De même les retours 53, 55 prévus sur les ailes 52, 54 du curseur 50 peuvent converger vers l'embase 56 en rapprochement de l'extrémité du curseur 50 située du côté de l'ouverture du sachet, pour améliorer l'étanchéité du sachet à ce niveauLikewise, the returns 53, 55 provided on the wings 52, 54 of the cursor 50 can converge towards the base 56 near the end of the cursor 50 situated on the side of the opening of the bag, to improve the sealing of the bag. at this level
On a illustré sur la figure 27 une autre variante de réalisation selon laquelle chacun des deux feuilles 16, 18 est munie sur sa surface interne d'une lèvre élastique 130 en secteur de cylindre Ces deux lèvres 130 sont ainsi en appui par leur sommet lors de la fermeture du sachet Pour cela la encore, au repos, c'est à dire en position d'ouverture, l'une au moins des deux lèvres 130 s'étend de préférence au delà du profilé de fermeture associé, comme on l'a schématisé sur la figure 28Another variant embodiment has been illustrated in FIG. 27 according to which each of the two sheets 16, 18 is provided on its internal surface with an elastic lip 130 in the cylinder sector. These two lips 130 are thus supported by their top during closing the bag For this again, at rest, that is to say in the open position, at least one of the two lips 130 preferably extends beyond the associated closure profile, as has been shown schematically in Figure 28
Le curseur 50 utilisé dans le cadre de la variante de réalisation de la figure 27 peut également comporter des bossage de sollicitation 520, 540 ascendant, comme illustré sur la figure 26, pour solliciter ces lèvres élastiques 130 contre les profilés de fermeture 20, 22, en position de fermeture du sachetThe slider 50 used in the context of the variant embodiment of FIG. 27 can also include upward biasing bosses 520, 540, as illustrated in FIG. 26, to bias these elastic lips 130 against the closure profiles 20, 22, in the bag closed position
On a illustré sur la figure 29 une autre variante de réalisation selon laquelle chacun des deux films supports 16, 18 est muni d'une lèvre élastique 130, mais cependant celles-ci sont positionnées non pas pour venir en appui par leur sommet, mais pour être juxtaposées latéralement comme on le voit sur la figure 29 Pour cela les deux lèvres 130 formées chacune d'un secteur de cylindre présentant un angle au centre supérieur à 180° ont leur concavité dirigée respectivement vers l'intérieur et vers l'extérieur du sachetAnother embodiment has been illustrated in FIG. 29 according to which each of the two support films 16, 18 is provided with an elastic lip 130, but however these are positioned not to come to bear by their top, but to be juxtaposed laterally as seen in Figure 29 For this the two lips 130 each formed of a cylinder sector having an angle at the center greater than 180 ° have their concavity directed respectively inward and outward of the bag
On va maintenant décrire les variantes de réalisation illustrées sur les figures 30 à 39 annexées Comme on l'a indiqué précédemment, selon ces variantes, le sachet comporte sur son embouchure 12, des moyens 150 situés à l'opposé desdits moyens additionnels d'étanchéité 100, par rapport aux profilés de fermeture 20, 22, et ces moyens 150 sont adaptés pour définir un appui entre les faces internes opposées des parois du sachet De plus il est prévu sur le curseur 50 des moyens aptes à solliciter les parois du sachet, vers l'intérieur, dans une zone de ces parois comprise entre les moyens additionnels d'étanchéité 100 et les moyens d'appui 150 Ainsi on garantit que lesdits moyens additionnels 100 sont sollicités dans une position d'étanchéité, par le curseur 50 De préférence cette sollicitation est faite au droit des profilés de fermeture 20 et 22We will now describe the alternative embodiments illustrated in Figures 30 to 39 attached As previously indicated, according to these variants, the bag comprises on its mouth 12, means 150 situated opposite said additional sealing means 100, relative to the closure profiles 20, 22, and these means 150 are adapted to define a support between the opposite internal faces of the walls of the bag. In addition, means 50 are provided on the slider capable of urging the walls of the bag inwards, in an area of these walls comprised between the additional means. sealing 100 and the support means 150 Thus, it is guaranteed that said additional means 100 are biased in a sealing position, by the slider 50 Preferably this biasing is made in line with the closing profiles 20 and 22
Ainsi de préférence comme on le voit sur les figures annexées, les moyens additionnels d'étanchéité 100 sont situés sur l'intérieur des profilés de fermeture 20, 22, tandis que les moyens 150 définissant l'appui sont situés sur l'extérieur des profilés de fermeture 20, 22Thus preferably, as can be seen in the appended figures, the additional sealing means 100 are located on the inside of the closure profiles 20, 22, while the means 150 defining the support are located on the outside of the profiles. closing 20, 22
Cette disposition comprenant des moyens 150 associés à des moyens de sollicitation des moyens d'étanchéité 100 par le curseur 50, peut s'appliquer à l'ensemble des variantes de réalisation précédemment décrites Elles n'est donc pas limitée aux modes de réalisation des figures 30 à 39 En particulier cette disposition s'applique à tout type de moyens d'étanchéité 100, a tout type de profilés de fermeture 20, 22 et à toutes variantes de curseur 50 ou de sachet équipe d'un voile antiviolation, etcThis arrangement comprising means 150 associated with means for urging the sealing means 100 by the slider 50, can be applied to all of the previously described variant embodiments. They are therefore not limited to the embodiments of the figures. 30 to 39 In particular, this provision applies to all types of sealing means 100, to all types of closure profiles 20, 22 and to all variants of slider 50 or of bag fitted with an anti-insulation veil, etc.
On a illustre sur la figure 30 une variante selon laquelle les moyens additionnels d'étanchéité 100 sont formés de deux lèvres souples et élastiques 170, 172, symétriques et solidaires respectivement de la face interne des parois 16 et 18, et dirigés vers l'intérieur et le fond du sachet En variante ces lèvres 170, 172 peuvent être dirigées vers l'intérieur du curseur 50 (notamment par exemple pour des sachets sous vide) Comme indiqué précédemment la disposition à moyens d'appui 150 s'applique à tout type de moyens 100 d'étanchéité et n'est pas limitée aux moyens 100 de la figure 30 Elle peut notamment s appliquer a des lèvres 170, 172 non symétriques De même selon la figure 30, les profilés de fermeture 20, 22 sont de type mâle/femelle Cependant l'invention peut s'appliquer à tout autre type de profilés de fermeture, notamment des profilés à crochetFIG. 30 illustrates a variant in which the additional sealing means 100 are formed by two flexible and elastic lips 170, 172, symmetrical and integral respectively with the internal face of the walls 16 and 18, and directed towards the inside. and the bottom of the sachet As a variant, these lips 170, 172 can be directed towards the inside of the cursor 50 (in particular for example for vacuum sachets). As indicated above, the arrangement of support means 150 applies to any type of sealing means 100 and is not limited to means 100 of FIG. 30 It can in particular be applied to lips 170, 172 which are not symmetrical Similarly according to FIG. 30, the closure profiles 20, 22 are of the male / female type. However, the invention can be applied to any other type of closure profiles, in particular hook profiles.
Selon la figure 30, les moyens d'appui 150 sont formés de deux éléments symétriques 152, 154, solidaires respectivement des faces internes des parois 16, 18, au niveau de l'embouchure du sachet Plus précisément encore selon la figure 30, chacun de ces éléments 152, 154 présente une section droite rectangulaire et s'étend en direction du plan médian du sachet au niveau duquel, ces éléments sont en appui mutuel, en position fermée du sachet Ainsi ces éléments 152 et 154 s'étendent globalement perpendiculairement à ce plan médianAccording to FIG. 30, the support means 150 are formed by two symmetrical elements 152, 154, respectively secured to the internal faces of the walls 16, 18, at the mouth of the bag. More precisely still according to FIG. 30, each of these elements 152, 154 have a rectangular cross section and extend in the direction of the median plane of the bag at which these elements are in mutual support, in the closed position of the bag. Thus these elements 152 and 154 extend generally perpendicularly to this. median plane
On notera que selon la figure 30, les moyens 100, les profilés 20, 22 et les moyens 150 sont venus de matière, le cas échéant de matières, de préférence venus d'extrusion, avec les parois 16, 18 Plus précisément encore on notera que les tronçons de ces parois compris entre les moyens d'étanchéité 100 et les moyens d'appui 150 sont plus épais que les feuilles 16, 18 composant le reste et l'essentiel des sachets Ainsi les tronçons précités présentent une certaine rigidité entre les moyens 100 et les moyens 150 L'homme de l'art comprendra que grâce aux caractéristiques précitées, lorsque les éléments 152, 154 sont en appui et que le curseur 50 exerce une sollicitation sur les tronçons précités des parois 16, 18, situés entre les moyens 100 et 150, les moyens d'étanchéité 100 sont sollicités eux mêmes dans leur position de contact et d'étanchéité maximale Sur la figure 31 on a illustré les moyens de sollicitation prévus sur le curseur 50, sous forme de bossages 520, 540 prévus sur la surface interne des ailes 52, 54, au droit des profilés de fermeture 20, 22 II s'agit ICI de bossages formés de calottes cylindriques, mais l'invention n'est pas limitée à cette géométrie particulière Sur la figure 31 on a référencé F1 l'effort exercé par le curseur 50 sur les tronçons d'embouchure des parois du sachet, F2 la réaction due aux moyens 150 et F3 l'effort exercé alors sur les moyens d'étanchéité 100 On notera par ailleurs que selon la figure 31 les tronçons précités définissent au niveau de l'embouchure du sachet une cage de section droite rectangulaire qui fait saillie par rapport aux parois principales 16 et 18 du sachet En d'autres termes les parois principales du sachet ne sont pas coplanaires des surfaces externes de ces tronçons, mais situées en retrait vers l'intérieur, par rapport à celles-ci, d'une valeur « d » Il est ainsi défini sur les parois 16 et 18 du sachet un décrochement qui sert d'appui aux retours 53 et 55 prévus sur les ailes 52 et 54 du curseur 50, pour éviter un retrait intempestif de celui-ci On a illustré sur la figure 32, une variante selon laquelle un tel décrochement est supprimé Ainsi selon la figure 32, au contraire, les parois principales du sachet sont coplanaires, au repos, des surfaces externes des tronçons situés entre les moyens 100 et 150 Cependant une telle variante peut également coopérer avec un curseur 50 équipé de retours 53, 55, sur ses ailes 52, 54 grâce à la déformation autorisée des feuilles 16, 18It will be noted that, according to FIG. 30, the means 100, the sections 20, 22 and the means 150 have come from material, if necessary from materials, preferably from extrusion, with the walls 16, 18 More precisely, again, it will be noted that the sections of these walls comprised between the sealing means 100 and the support means 150 are thicker than the sheets 16, 18 making up the remainder and most of the sachets. Thus the above-mentioned sections have a certain rigidity between the means. 100 and the means 150 Those skilled in the art will understand that by virtue of the aforementioned characteristics, when the elements 152, 154 are in abutment and the cursor 50 exerts a stress on the aforementioned sections of the walls 16, 18, located between the means 100 and 150, the sealing means 100 are biased themselves in their maximum sealing and contact position. In FIG. 31, the biasing means provided on the slider 50 are illustrated, in the form of e bosses 520, 540 provided on the inner surface of the wings 52, 54, in line with the closure profiles 20, 22 These are HERE bosses formed by cylindrical caps, but the invention is not limited to this particular geometry In FIG. 31, the force exerted by the cursor 50 on the mouth sections of the walls of the bag has been referenced F1, F2 the reaction due to the means 150 and F3 the force then exerted on the sealing means 100 Note also that according to Figure 31 the aforementioned sections define at the mouth of the bag a cage of rectangular cross section which projects from the main walls 16 and 18 of the bag In other words the main walls of the bag are not coplanar with the external surfaces of these sections, but situated inwards towards the inside, with respect to them, of a value "d" It is thus defined on the walls 16 and 18 of the bag a step which serves to support the returns 53 and 55 provided on the wings 52 and 54 of the cursor 50, in order to avoid inadvertent withdrawal of the latter. FIG. 32 illustrates a variant according to which such an offset is eliminated. Thus according to FIG. 32 , on the contrary, the main walls of the bag are coplanar, at rest, of the external surfaces of the sections located between the means 100 and 150 However, such a variant can also cooperate with a slider 50 equipped with re turns 53, 55, on its wings 52, 54 thanks to the authorized deformation of the sheets 16, 18
Selon la variante illustrée sur la figure 33, les tronçons précités, entre les moyens 100 et 150, définissent au niveau de l'embouchure du sachet non pas une cage de section droite rectangulaire, mais une cage globalement arrondie Selon les figures 30 à 33 précédemment décrites, les éléments d'appui 152, 154 sont symétriques et se contactent dans le plan médian du sachet En variante, cependant ces éléments 152, 154 peuvent être dissymétriques et se contacter ainsi en dehors du plan médian On a ainsi illustré sur la figure 34, une variante selon laquelle seule la paroi 18 est muni d'un élément d'appui 154 en saillie sur sa face interne Cet élément 154 est adapté pour venir reposer sur la face interne de la paroi opposée 16According to the variant illustrated in Figure 33, the aforementioned sections, between the means 100 and 150, define at the mouth of the bag not a cage of rectangular cross section, but a generally rounded cage According to Figures 30 to 33 previously described, the support elements 152, 154 are symmetrical and contact each other in the median plane of the bag. Alternatively, however, these elements 152, 154 can be asymmetrical and thus contact each other outside the median plane. FIG. 34 thus illustrates , a variant according to which only the wall 18 is provided with a support element 154 projecting from its internal face This element 154 is adapted to come to rest on the internal face of the opposite wall 16
Selon les figures 30 à 34 précédemment décrites, les moyens d'étanchéité 100, les profilés de fermeture 20, 22 et les moyens d'appui 150 sont venus de matière, le cas échéant de matières, de préférence venus d'extrusion, sur les parois 16, 18 En variante ces différents moyens peuvent être venus sur des voiles supports respectifs rapportés, par exemple soudés thermiquement ou collés sur les faces internes des feuilles 16, 18 II peut s'agir de voiles supports respectifs et séparés pour chacun des moyens 100, profilés 20, 22 et moyens 150, ou encore des voiles supports commun à plusieurs de ces moyens On a ainsi par exemple illustré sur la figure 35 une variante de réalisation selon laquelle les moyens 100, les profilés de fermeture 20, 22 et les moyens d'appui 150 sont portés par deux voiles respectifs rapporté l'un sur la face interne de la feuille 16, et rapporté l'autre sur la face interne de la feuille 18According to FIGS. 30 to 34 previously described, the sealing means 100, the closure profiles 20, 22 and the support means 150 have come from material, if necessary from materials, preferably from extrusion, on the walls 16, 18 As a variant, these different means may have come on respective added support webs, for example thermally welded or glued to the internal faces of the sheets 16, 18 These may be respective and separate support sails for each of the means 100, profiles 20, 22 and means 150, or else support sails common to several of these means. variant according to which the means 100, the closure profiles 20, 22 and the support means 150 are carried by two respective webs, one attached to the internal face of the sheet 16, and the other attached to the face sheet 18 internal
On a illustré sur la figure 36 une variante de réalisation selon laquelle les moyens de sollicitation sont formés non pas de bossages solidaires de la face interne des ailes du curseur, mais de bossages 15 en saillie sur la face externe des tronçons de parois situés entre les moyens 100 et 150, de préférence au droit des profilés de fermeture 20, 22 Selon encore une autre variante on peut ainsi prévoir des bossages à la fois sur le curseur et sur les parois du sachet On a illustré sur la figure 37 une autre variante de réalisation selon laquelle les extrémités en regard des éléments 152 et 154 formant moyens d'appui sont élargies, pour garantir un appui de ceux-ci et éviter que ces éléments, par décalage ne se retrouvent adjacents, auquel cas le bras de levier attendu pour exercer la sollicitation sur les moyens 100 ne serait pas obtenu Selon la figure 37 les extrémités adjacentes des éléments 152 et 154 ont une section droite généralement triangulaire dont la base est située dans le plan de contact Cependant l'invention n'est pas limitée a cette disposition particulièreAn alternative embodiment has been illustrated in FIG. 36 according to which the biasing means are formed not of bosses integral with the internal face of the wings of the cursor, but of bosses 15 projecting from the external face of the wall sections situated between the means 100 and 150, preferably in line with the closure profiles 20, 22 According to yet another variant, it is thus possible to provide bosses both on the slider and on the walls of the bag. Another variant of embodiment according to which the opposite ends of the elements 152 and 154 forming support means are widened, to guarantee support for the latter and to prevent these elements, by offset from finding themselves adjacent, in which case the lever arm expected to exert stress on the means 100 would not be obtained According to FIG. 37, the adjacent ends of the elements 152 and 154 have a generally triangular cross section, the l based is located in the contact plane However the invention is not limited to this particular arrangement
On a illustré sur la figure 38 une variante selon laquelle le curseur 50 est équipé sur la face interne de ses ailes 52, 54 de structures en saillie 522, 542 de section droite complémentaire de gorges 13 formées dans les bossages 15 précités, les structures 522 et 542 étant engagées dans ces gorges 13 Plus précisément encore les structures 522, 542 sont évasées, tandis que les gorges 13 ont des bords convergents Grâce a cette disposition on évite un retrait intempestif du curseur 50A variant has been illustrated in FIG. 38 according to which the cursor 50 is equipped on the internal face of its wings 52, 54 with projecting structures 522, 542 of complementary cross section of grooves 13 formed in the abovementioned bosses 15, the structures 522 and 542 being engaged in these grooves 13 More precisely still the structures 522, 542 are flared, while the grooves 13 have converging edges Thanks to this arrangement, an untimely withdrawal of the cursor 50 is avoided
On a illustré sur la figure 39 une autre variante de réalisation selon laquelle il est ainsi défini des moyens a complément de formes entre le curseur 50 et les parois du sachet, au niveau des retours 53, 55 formes sur les ailes 52, 54, sous forme d'éléments 530, 550 comme décrit précédemmentAnother embodiment has been illustrated in FIG. 39 according to which means with complementary shapes are defined between the cursor 50 and the walls of the bag, at the returns 53, 55 shapes on the wings 52, 54, in the form of elements 530, 550 as described above
Le cas échéant les éléments composant les moyens d'étanchéité 100 peuvent être coextrudés avec le sachet et /ou les profilés de fermeture, en un matériau plus souple que le matériau formant ces derniers On peut par exemple envisager de coextruder les lèvres 170, 172 en un copolymère de l'éthylène ou un élastomère de synthèseWhere appropriate, the elements making up the sealing means 100 can be coextruded with the bag and / or the closure profiles, in a material more flexible than the material forming the latter. One can for example consider coextruding the lips 170, 172 in an ethylene copolymer or a synthetic elastomer
Comme on l'a indiqué précédemment bien entendu la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation particuliers qui viennent d'être décrits, mais s'étend à toutes variantes conformes à son espritAs indicated above, of course, the present invention is not limited to the particular embodiments which have just been described, but extends to all variants in accordance with its spirit.
Par « étanchéité » on entend dans le cadre de la présente invention que les moyens 100 sont adaptés (selon leur géométrie et/ou leur force d'appui) soit pour assurer un barrage complet interdisant toute pénétration de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur du sachet et toute fuite de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur du sachet, soit pour assurer au moins un barrage dans un sens, c'est à dire pour interdire une pénétration de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur du sachet, ou interdire une fuite de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur du sachetBy "sealing" is meant in the context of the present invention that the means 100 are adapted (according to their geometry and / or their bearing force) either to ensure a complete barrier preventing any penetration from the outside to the inside of the sachet and any leakage from the inside to the outside of the sachet, either to ensure at least one barrier in one direction, i.e. to prevent penetration from the outside to the inside of the sachet, or to prevent a leak from inside to outside of the bag
On notera par ailleurs que les moyens de retour 53, 55 et les structures telles que 522 et 542, prévus sur le sachet et qui participent au maintien du curseur 50 sur le sachet, ne sont généralement pas seules à assurer ce maintien, mais par exemple complètent dans cette fonction des moyens évasés prévus sur la semelle centrale du curseur 50It will also be noted that the return means 53, 55 and the structures such as 522 and 542, provided on the sachet and which participate in maintaining the cursor 50 on the sachet, are generally not alone in ensuring this maintenance, but for example complement in this function flared means provided on the central sole of the cursor 50
L'homme de l'art comprendra par ailleurs que dans le cadre des modes de réalisation illustrés sur les figures 30 à 39, les moyens d'étanchéité 100 peuvent ne pas être placés en regard des flancs 52, 54, du curseur, mais à l'extérieur de ce dernier En d'autres termes, dans ce cas, l'extrémité du curseur est située entre ces moyens 100 et les profilés de fermeture 20, 22Those skilled in the art will also understand that within the framework of the embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 30 to 39, the sealing means 100 may not be placed opposite the sides 52, 54 of the slider, but at outside of the latter In other words, in this case, the end of the cursor is located between these means 100 and the closure sections 20, 22
Comme indiqué précédemment, selon une variante de réalisation, la semelle 59 est interrompue en deçà (c'est-à-dire en retrait) de l'extrémité longitudinale du curseur, au moins sur le côté le plus large du curseur correspondant au côté divergent des couloirs 590, 592, comme on le voit notamment sur les figures 40, 42, 43 et 44, et les ailes latérales 52, 54 sont munies au voisinage de leur bord libre opposé à l'embase 56, de moyens 520, 540 de sollicitation des feuilles 16, 18 du sachet en rapprochement, couvrant toute l'étendue longitudinale de la semelle 59 et s'étendant au delà longitudinalement de part et d'autre de celle-ci, pour assurer l'étanchéité du sachet en position fermée de celui-ciAs indicated above, according to an alternative embodiment, the sole 59 is interrupted below (that is to say behind) the longitudinal end of the slider, at least on the widest side of the slider corresponding to the divergent side. corridors 590, 592, as can be seen in particular in FIGS. 40, 42, 43 and 44, and the lateral wings 52, 54 are provided near their free edge opposite the base 56, means 520, 540 for biasing the sheets 16, 18 of the bag in approach, covering the entire longitudinal extent of the sole 59 and extending longitudinally beyond and the other of this, to ensure the tightness of the sachet in the closed position thereof
