Abstract

To cut the hole in each pouch, the sheet material is shaped near the fold line, between two molding sections (15, 16). It is clamped in this position. A knife is advanced into one section (15), to meet a counter blade on the other (16). Preferred features: The shaping sections are curved about an axis perpendicular to the connection plane of the strips bordering the pouch. The blade (20) section carries a centering peg (21); the opposite section includes a matching guide bore (27). In the fold line of the band sections, an incision is stamped, forming a hole for passage of the (smaller) centering peg. At least one shaping section is heated. The hole center cut-out, is sucked away through a bore (28).

Die miteinander verschweissten Randabschnitte können dann durch Kühlelemente 35 gekühlt werden. Die fertige, mit der Verschlusskappe 32 verschlossene, gefüllte und rundum längs der Ränder der Seitenwände versiegelte Beuteltube 7 ist ganz rechts in Fig. 7 dargestellt.Then in a further station the open end of the pocket 7 is drawn in the direction of the arrows A, and in a subsequent station the edge sections of the two side walls of the pocket 7 are welded together in the region of the previously open end of the pocket by welding tools 34. The edge sections welded to one another can then be cooled by cooling elements 35. The finished bag tube 7, which is closed with the closure cap 32, filled and sealed all around along the edges of the side walls, is shown on the far right in FIG. 7.
In der im Vorstehenden beschriebenen Ausführungs- form der Erfindung besitzt der Auslassstutzen 1 (Fig. 3) ein Aussengewinde, auf das dann die Verschlusskappe 32 (Fig. 7) aufgeschraubt wird, um den Auslassstutzen 12 zu verschliessen. Stattdessen kann auch ein Schulterstück 41 gemass Fig. 8 verwendet werden. Dieses besitzt einen Auslassstutzen 42 und einen von dem Auslassstutzen ausgehenden Flansch 43. Der Auslassstutzen 42 weist Rastmittel auf zum Festhalten einer Kupplungshülse 44 (Fig. 9) , die auf den Auslassstutzen 42 aufgeprellt werden kann und die ihrerseits ein Aussengewinde 45 aufweist. In Fig. 10 ist die Kupplungshülse 44 auf den Auslassstutzen aufgeprellt und mit einer aufgeschraubten Verschlusskappe 46 dargestellt . Das Aufschrauben (oder auch Aufprellen) der Ver- schlusskappe 46 auf die Kupplungshülse 44 kann vor oder nach dem Aufprellen der Kupplungshülse auf den Auslass- stutzen 42 erfolgen.In the embodiment of the invention described above, the outlet connector 1 (FIG. 3) has an external thread, onto which the closure cap 32 (FIG. 7) is then screwed in order to close the outlet connector 12. Instead, a shoulder piece 41 according to FIG. 8 can also be used. This has an outlet connector 42 and a flange 43 extending from the outlet connector. The outlet connector 42 has latching means for holding a coupling sleeve 44 (FIG. 9) which can be bounced onto the outlet connector 42 and which in turn has an external thread 45. In Fig. 10, the coupling sleeve 44 is bounced onto the outlet port and shown with a screwed cap 46. The closure cap 46 can be screwed (or also bounced) onto the coupling sleeve 44 before or after the coupling sleeve is bumped onto the outlet connector 42.
Ein Schulterstück mit Kupplungshülse der anhand der Fig. 8 bis 10 beschriebenen Art kann in Varianten auch so ausgebildet sein, dass der Rand des Lochs in der Stirnwand der Tasche 7, durch welches das Schulterstück gesteckt wird, zwischen dem Flansch des Schulterstücks und der Kupplungshülse festgeklemmt werden kann. Zwei solche Varianten sind in den Fig. 11 und 12 in grösserem Massstab dargestellt.A shoulder piece with a coupling sleeve of the type described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10 can also be designed in variants such that the edge of the hole in the end wall of the pocket 7 through which the shoulder piece is inserted is clamped between the flange of the shoulder piece and the coupling sleeve can be. Two such variants are shown on a larger scale in FIGS. 11 and 12.
Die Fig. 11 zeigt, wie ein Rand des Folienmaterials einer Tasche 7 zwischen einem Flansch 53 eines Schulterstücks 51 und dem Ende einer Kupplungshülse 54 festgeklemmt ist. Die Kupplungshülse 54 ist wie anhand der Fig. 8 bis 10 beschrieben auf einen Auslassstutzen 52 des11 shows how an edge of the film material of a pocket 7 is clamped between a flange 53 of a shoulder piece 51 and the end of a coupling sleeve 54. The coupling sleeve 54 is, as described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10, on an outlet connection 52 of the
Schulterstücks 51 aufgeprellt. Dank der Festklemmung des Folienmaterials kann das Verschweissen oder Verkleben des Folienmaterials mit dem Flansch 53 entfallen. Zur Verbesserung der Abdichtung zwischen Folienmaterial und Flansch 53 kann der Flansch zweckmässig kreisförmige Rippen 57 aufweisen, welche das Folienmaterial in entsprechende Nuten in der Endfläche der Kupplungshülse drücken.Shoulder piece 51 bounced. Thanks to the clamping of the film material, there is no need to weld or glue the film material to the flange 53. To improve the seal between the film material and flange 53, the flange can expediently have circular ribs 57 which press the film material into corresponding grooves in the end face of the coupling sleeve.
Die Fig. 12 zeigt ähnlich wie Fig. 11 ein Schulterstück 61 mit einem Flansch 63 und eine Kupplungshülse 64, wobei der Rand des Folienmaterials einer Tasche 7 zwischen dem Flansch 63 und der Endfläche der Kupplungshülse 64 festgeklemmt ist. Zwischen dem Flansch 63 und dem Folienmaterial ist ein geeignetes Dichtmedium 68 angeordnet, z. B ein Latex. In diesem Fall kann die Endfläche der Kupplungshülse 64 zweckmässig kreisförmige Rippen 69 aufweisen, welche das Folienmaterial in die Schicht 68 von Dichtmedium drücken. - Anstelle der Schicht von Dichtmedium 68, oder zusätzlich zu dieser, könnte eine Dicht- mediumschicht auch zwischen dem Folienmaterial und der Endfläche der Kupplungshülse 64 angeordnet sein. Mit einer solchen Dichtmediumschicht kann verhindert werden, dass Gase oder Dämpfe aus dem Inhalt der Beuteltube zwischen dem Auslassstutzen des Schulterstücks und der Kupplungshülse zum Folienmaterial und dann zwischen diesem und der Endfläche der Kupplungshülse nach aussen gelangen. Similar to FIG. 11, FIG. 12 shows a shoulder piece 61 with a flange 63 and a coupling sleeve 64, the edge of the film material of a pocket 7 being clamped between the flange 63 and the end face of the coupling sleeve 64. A suitable sealing medium 68 is arranged between the flange 63 and the film material, e.g. B a latex. In this case, the end surface of the coupling sleeve 64 can expediently have circular ribs 69 which press the film material into the layer 68 of sealing medium. Instead of the layer of sealing medium 68, or in addition to this, a sealing medium layer can also be arranged between the film material and the end face of the coupling sleeve 64. With such a sealing medium layer, gases or vapors from the contents of the bag tube can be prevented from reaching the film material between the outlet connector of the shoulder piece and the coupling sleeve and then between the latter and the end face of the coupling sleeve.
