Abstract

The infusion bag (1) includes a drawstring (11) that is doubled through an opening in an upper portion of a bag to form a loop (12). One portion of the drawstring extends from the loop and around the bag and back through the loop, with another portion of the drawstring proceeding from such loop. These two portions form pull members (13,14) for squeezing the bag. The drawstring can also extend around the bag in a doubled state. In addition to extending through the bag opening, the doubled drawstring can also extend through a looped end. The loop of the drawstring may be stabilized by a knot, or by adhesive or band.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Aufgussbeutel mit einem durch eine in dessen Kopfteil vorgesehenen Öffnung geführten Zugfaden, der den Aufgussbeutel in Längsrichtung umgibt und mittels dem dieser auspressbar ist.The invention relates to an infusion bag with one in one Head portion provided opening-guided pull thread that the infusion bag in Surrounds longitudinal direction and by means of which this can be squeezed out.

Durch die DE 87 07 075-U1 ist ein Aufgussbeutel dieser Art bekannt. Um eine Umschlingung bewerkstelligen zu können, ist es bei diesem Aufgussbeutel erforderlich, am Kopfteil eine Klammer oder Öse vorzusehen, durch die der Zugfaden zweifach hindurchzuführen ist. Die beim Auspressen des Aufgussbeutels auf den Zugfaden ausgeübten Zugkräfte sind nämlich an der Klammer oder der Öse abzustützen, da anderenfalls der Aufgussbeutel ausgerissen würde. Auch werden durch die Umlenkungen und die dabei in Kauf zu nehmenden Reibungsverluste die Zugkräfte reduziert. Durch die Klammern oder Ösen wird somit der Auspressvorgang ungünstig beeinflusst, vor allem aber ist von Nachteil, dass an dem Aufgussbeutel Fremdkörper aus einem metallischen Werkstoff angebracht sind, durch die das Aroma des aufgebrühten Tees beeinträchtigt werden kann.From DE 87 07 075-U1 an infusion bag of this type is known. To one It is possible with this infusion bag to be able to wrap it around necessary to provide a clip or eyelet on the head part, through which the Thread must be passed twice. The one when pressing out the infusion bag tensile forces exerted on the pull thread are namely on the clip or the eyelet support, otherwise the infusion bag would be torn out. Be too due to the deflections and the friction losses to be accepted Tractive forces reduced. The squeezing process is thus carried out by the clamps or eyelets Adversely affected, but above all it is disadvantageous that the infusion bag Foreign bodies made of a metallic material are attached, through which the Aroma of the brewed tea can be affected.

Bei dem ähnlich gestalteten Aufgussbeutel nach der DE 29601442 U1 sind, um ebenfalls ein Auspressen durch Ziehen an den beiden Enden eines um den Aufgussbeutel geschlungenen Fadens bewerkstelligen zu können, in das Kopfteil zwei nebeneinander angeordnete Öffnungen eingearbeitet, durch die der Faden wechselseitig hindurchgeführt ist. Außerdem ist der Faden im Boden des Aufgussbeutels in einer Querfalte geführt. Da zum Auspressen des Aufgussbeutels die an den beiden Enden des Zugfadens angebrachten Kopfstücke auseinander zu ziehen sind, werden im Bereich der Öffnungen dadurch erhebliche Zugkräfte auf den Aufgussbeutel ausgeübt, so dass dieser sehr oft ausreisst und der angestrebte Zweck nicht erreicht werden kann.In the similarly designed infusion bag according to DE 29601442 U1, um also a squeeze by pulling the two ends of one around the Infusion bag looped thread to be able to accomplish, in the head part two openings arranged side by side, through which the thread is passed alternately. In addition, the thread is in the bottom of the Infusion bag guided in a cross fold. As for squeezing the infusion bag the head pieces attached to the two ends of the pull thread apart are pulling, there are considerable tensile forces in the area of the openings Infusion bag exercised so that it tears out very often and the desired one Purpose cannot be achieved.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Aufgussbeutel der vorgenannten Gattung in der Weise auszubilden, dass an diesem der Zugfaden nicht nur äußerst fest und ohne metallische Klammern zu befestigen ist, sondern mittels des Zugfadens soll ein nahezu vollständiges Ausdrücken des Aufgussbeutels ermöglicht werden, ohne daß dieser dabei aufgerissen wird. Die Handhabung beim Aufbrühen eines Aufgussbeutels soll somit sehr vereinfacht werden, auch sollen keine Beeinträchtigungen des aufgebrühten Tees durch Fremdkörper in Kauf zu nehmen sein.The object of the invention is therefore an infusion bag of the aforementioned type to train in such a way that the pulling thread is not only extremely strong and is to be fastened without metallic clips, but by means of the pulling thread almost complete expression of the infusion bag are made possible without this is torn open. Handling when brewing a Infusion bags should thus be very simplified, and none should To accept the impairment of the brewed tea by foreign bodies his.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird dies bei einem Aufgussbeutel der vorgenannten Art dadurch erreicht, dass der Zugfaden doppelt durch die Öffnung des Kopfteiles hindurch gesteckt ist und auf einer Seite des Aufgussbeutels eine Schlinge bildet, dass das eine von der Schlinge abführende Teilstück des Zugfadens den Aufgussbeutel umgibt und durch die Schlinge zurückgeführt ist und dass das andere von der Schlinge abführende Teilstück und das durch diese hindurchgeführte Teilstück des Zugfadens die beiderseits des Kopfteils angeordneten Zugglieder zum Auspressen des Aufgussbeutels bilden.According to the invention, this is done with an infusion bag of the aforementioned type achieved by double pulling the thread through the opening of the headboard is inserted through and forms a loop on one side of the infusion bag, that one section of the pulling thread leading away from the loop Infusion bag surrounds and is returned through the sling and that the other section leading away from the loop and the section passed through it Section of the tension thread to the tension members arranged on both sides of the head part Squeeze out the infusion bag.

Nach einer andersartigen Ausgestaltung ist es zu dem gleichen Zweck auch möglich, dass der Zugfaden doppelt um den Aufgussbeutel geführt ist, dass das Ende des den Aufgussbeutel umschlingenden Zugfadens als Schlinge durch die Öffnung des Kopfteils gesteckt ist und dass die beiden von der Schlinge abführenden Teilstücke des Zugfadens durch die Schlinge zurückgeführt und als Zugglieder weitergeführt sind. According to a different design, it is also possible for the same purpose that the pulling thread is passed twice around the infusion bag, that the end of the the infusion bag looping pull thread as a loop through the opening of the Head part is inserted and that the two sections leading away from the loop of the thread through the loop and continued as tension members are.

Gemäss einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist es auch möglich, den Zugfaden doppelt durch die Öffnung des Kopfteils hindurch zu stecken und doppelt um den Aufgussbeutel bis in Höhe der Öffnung zu führen sowie die beiden von der Öffnung des Kopfteils abstehenden Teilstücke des Zugfadens durch das schlingenförmige Ende des um den Aufgussbeutel gelegten Zugfadens zu stecken, derart, dass diese Zugglieder bilden.According to a further embodiment, it is also possible to double the pull thread through the opening of the head part and double around the Guide the infusion bag to the level of the opening and the two from the opening portions of the pulling thread protruding from the head part through the loop-shaped End of the pulling thread placed around the infusion bag in such a way that this Form tension members.

Angebracht ist es bei allen Ausgestaltungen, die Schlinge bzw. das schlingenförmige Ende des Zugfadens durch einen Knoten, durch Verkleben, durch eine Banderole oder auf ähnliche Weise zu stabilisieren.It is appropriate in all configurations, the loop or the loop-shaped End of the thread through a knot, by gluing, by a banderole or stabilize in a similar way.

Zur Bildung der Schlinge können in das Kopfteil des Aufgussbeutels auch zwei, vorzugsweise auf gleicher Höhe angeordnete, z.B. als Bohrungen ausgebildete Öffnungen eingearbeitet sein, durch die der Zugfaden wechselweise hindurchgeführt ist.To form the loop, two, preferably arranged at the same height, e.g. trained as holes Openings must be incorporated through which the tension thread is passed alternately is.

Des weiteren sollte der Zugfaden durch eine oder zwei mit seitlichen Abstand zueinander angeordnete jeweils im Bereich des Bodens des Aufgußbeutels vorgesehene Öffnungen geführt sein, so daß ein seitliches Abrutschen ausgeschlossen ist.Furthermore, the drawstring should be spaced by one or two arranged in relation to each other in the area of the bottom of the infusion bag provided openings must be guided so that a lateral sliding is excluded.

Die beiden die Zugglieder bildenden Teilstücke des Zugfadens können durch einen Knoten fest miteinander verbunden sein, diese können aber auch gemeinsam an einem Etikett angebracht bzw. einzeln mit Etiketten versehen sein.The two sections of the tension thread forming the tension members can be separated by one Knots are firmly connected, but they can also be connected together be attached to a label or individually provided with labels.

Wird ein Zugfaden gemäß der Erfindung an einem Aufgussbeutel angebracht, so ist es ohne weiteres möglich, den Aufgussbeutel ohne Hilfsmittel auszuquetschen und die restliche Flüssigkeit aus diesem herauszudrücken. Dazu sind lediglich die beiden Teilstücke des doppelt von dem Kopfteil abgeführten Zugfadens auseinander zu ziehen. Durch den in Längsrichtung um den Aufgussbeutel geschlungenen Zugfaden wird nämlich der Aufgussbeutel fest zusammengedrückt, so dass dessen Volumen verkleinert wird, ohne dass es dazu irgendwelcher Hilfsmittel bedarf.If a pull thread according to the invention is attached to an infusion bag, it is it is easily possible to squeeze the infusion bag without tools and to push the remaining liquid out of it. Only the two are Portions of the pulling thread which is removed twice from the head part pull. Through the drawstring looped in the longitudinal direction around the infusion bag namely, the infusion bag is squeezed tightly, so that its volume is reduced in size without the need for any tools.

Da der Zugfaden somit ohne Hilfsmittel an dem Aufgussbeutel gehalten ist, wird beim Aufbrühen das Aroma des Tees durch metallische Fremdkörper nicht beeinträchtigt und verfälscht. Auch wird beim Zusammenpressen des Aufgussbeutels dieser nicht beschädigt, auf diesen werden nämlich beim Auseinanderziehen der beiden Endstücke des Zugfadens keine seitlich gerichteten Kräfte ausgeübt, diese Kräfte werden vielmehr von der Schlinge, durch die die Teilstücke des Zugfadens hindurchgeführt sind, aufgenommen. Mit sehr geringem Fertigungsaufwand wird demnach die Handhabung beim Aufbrühen von Getränken sehr vereinfacht und erleichtert, auch ist der Zugfaden an jeder Art von Aufgussbeuteln problemlos anzubringen.Since the pull thread is thus held on the infusion bag without any aids When brewing, the aroma of the tea is not caused by metallic foreign bodies impaired and adulterated. Also when compressing the Aufgussbeutels this not damaged, because these are at Pulling the two end pieces of the pulling thread apart no laterally directed Powers are exerted rather by the noose through which the Portions of the thread are passed through. With very little Manufacturing effort is accordingly handling when brewing beverages very simplified and relieved, the pulling thread on every type of Easy to attach infusion bags.

Die in den Figuren 1 bis 11 dargestellten und mit 1 bzw. 1' bzw. 1" bezeichneten Aufgussbeutel sind in unterschiedlicher Weise ausgebildet und jeweils mit einem Kopfteil 2 bzw. 2' bzw. 2" versehen, an dem ein Zugfaden 11 bzw. 11" angebracht ist. Bei der Ausgestaltung nach den Figuren 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 und 11 ist an den Teilstücken 13 und 14 bzw. 13" und 14" des Zugfadens 11 bzw. 11" ein Etikett 21 angebracht, bei der Ausgestaltung nach den Figuren 3 und 4 sind die Teilstücke 13 und 14 durch einen Knoten 22 fest miteinander verbunden.Those shown in Figures 1 to 11 and designated 1 or 1 'or 1 " Infusion bags are designed in different ways and each with one Head part 2 or 2 'or 2 "provided on which a pull thread 11 or 11" attached is. In the embodiment according to Figures 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 is to the Parts 13 and 14 or 13 "and 14" of the tension thread 11 or 11 "a label 21st attached, in the embodiment according to Figures 3 and 4, the sections 13th and 14 firmly connected to each other by a node 22.

Zur Befestigung des Zugfadens 11 ist in das Kopfteil 2 bzw. 2' des Aufgussbeutels 1 bzw. 1' jeweils eine Ausnehmung 3 in Form einer Bohrung eingearbeitet, durch die der Zugfaden 11 in Form einer Schlinge 12 zweifach hindurchgezogen ist. Das eine Teilstück 13 des Zugfadens 11 ist im Anschluss an die Schlinge 12 um den Aufgussbeutel 1 bzw. 1' geschlungen, sodann durch die Schlinge 12 gezogen und mit Abstand zu dem Aufgussbeutel 1, wie auch das andere Teilstück 14 des Zugfadens 11, an dem Etikett 21 befestigt. To fasten the pull thread 11 is in the head part 2 or 2 'of the infusion bag. 1 or 1 'each have a recess 3 in the form of a bore, through which the pulling thread 11 in the form of a loop 12 is pulled through twice. The one Section 13 of the tension thread 11 is following the loop 12 around the Infusion bag 1 or 1 'looped, then pulled through the loop 12 and at a distance from the infusion bag 1, as well as the other section 14 of the Drawstring 11, attached to the label 21.

Werden nach dem Aufbrühen des Aufgussbeutels 1 bzw. 1' die beiden von diesem abführenden Teilstücke 13 und 14 des Zugfadens 11, wie dies in den Figuren 2 bzw. 4 dargestellt ist, auseinandergezogen, so wird das um den Aufgussbeutel 1 bzw. 1' geführte Teilstück 13 des Zugfadens 11 verkürzt. Der Aufgussbeutel 1 bzw. 1' wird dadurch zusammengedrückt und somit ausgewrungen, so dass die in diesem befindliche restliche Flüssigkeit, ohne dass es eines Hilfsmittels bedarf, ausgequetscht wird. Und da dieser Vorgang ohne weiteres über einem Gefäß vorgenommen werden kann, werden nicht nur die Aromastoffe des in dem Aufgussbeutel 1 bzw. 1' befindlichen Tees nahezu vollständig genutzt, sondern es werden auch Verunreinigungen durch abtropfende Flüssigkeit bei der Entsorgung des Aufgussbeutels 1 bzw. 1' vermieden.After the infusion bag 1 or 1 'has been brewed, the two of it laxative portions 13 and 14 of the tension thread 11, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, is pulled apart, so that is around the infusion bag 1 or 1 ' guided section 13 of the thread 11 is shortened. The infusion bag 1 or 1 ' thereby squeezed and wrung out, so that in this remaining liquid, without the need for an auxiliary, is squeezed out. And since this process easily over a vessel can be made, not only the flavorings of the in the Infusion bags 1 or 1 'teas almost completely used, but it there will also be contamination from dripping liquid during disposal of the infusion bag 1 or 1 'avoided.

Bei der Ausführungsvariante nach Figur 5 ist zu dem gleichen Zweck im Bereich des Kopfteils 2" des Aufgussbeutels 1" eine Schlinge 12' gebildet, durch die das um den Aufgussbeutel 1" geschlungene Teilstück 13 des Zugfadens 11 gezogen ist. In das Kopfteil 2" sind, um die Schlinge 12' bilden zu können, hierbei zwei auf gleicher Höhe angeordnete Ausnehmungen 3 und 4 eingearbeitet, durch die der Zugfaden 11 jeweils einfach hindurchgeführt ist. Durch Auseinanderziehen der beiden an dem Etikett 21 befestigten Teilstücke 13 und 14 des Zugfadens 11 im Bereich zwischen diesem und dem Aufgussbeutel 1" wird dieser in seinem Volumen verkleinert, so dass die restliche Flüssigkeit aus diesem herausgepresst wird.5 is for the same purpose in the area of Head part 2 "of the infusion bag 1" formed a loop 12 'through which the Infusion bag 1 "looped section 13 of the pulling thread 11 is pulled. In the Head part 2 "are in order to be able to form the loop 12 ', here two on the same Recesses 3 and 4 arranged in height, through which the tension thread 11 is simply passed through. By pulling the two apart on the Label 21 attached portions 13 and 14 of the tension thread 11 in the area between this and the infusion bag 1 "is reduced in volume, so that the remaining liquid is squeezed out of it.

Gemäß den Figuren 6 bis 8 ist der Zugfaden 11" doppelt um den Aufgussbeutel 1" geschlungen und dessen Ende ist als Schlinge 12" durch die in dem Kopfteil 2" vorgesehene Öffnung 3 gesteckt. Die beiden von der Schlinge 12" abführenden Teilstücke 13" und 14" sind hierbei durch die Schlinge 12" zurückgeführt und als Zugglieder, die an dem Etikett 21 befestigt sind, weitergeführt. Auf diese Weise kann beim Auspressen, wie dies in Figur 7 dargestellt ist, eine verstärkte Kraft auf den Aufgussbeutel 11" ausgeübt werden.According to FIGS. 6 to 8, the pull thread 11 "is double around the infusion bag 1" looped and its end is a loop 12 "through the in the head part 2" provided opening 3 inserted. The two leading away from the loop 12 " Portions 13 "and 14" are returned through the loop 12 "and as Tension members, which are attached to the label 21, continued. That way when squeezing, as shown in Figure 7, an increased force on the Infusion bags 11 "are exercised.

Um ein seitliches Abrutschen des Zugfadens 11" von dem Aufgussbeutel 1", insbesondere bei dessen Lagerung und/oder Transport, auszuschließen, sind, wie dies in den Figuren 8 und 9 gezeigt ist, im Bereich des Bodens in den Aufgussbeutel 11" eine Öffnung 5 bzw. zwei Öffnungen 6 und 7 eingearbeitet, durch die die Teilstücke 13" und 14" hindurch gesteckt sind. Außerdem sind gemäß Figur 8 an den Enden der Teilstücke 13" und 14" einzelne Etiketten 21' bzw. 21" angebracht.In order for the pulling thread 11 "to slide sideways off the infusion bag 1", especially when storing and / or transporting it, how this is shown in Figures 8 and 9, in the region of the bottom in the infusion bag 11 "an opening 5 or two openings 6 and 7 incorporated through which Pieces 13 "and 14" are inserted through. In addition, according to Figure 8 the ends of the sections 13 "and 14" individual labels 21 'and 21 "attached.

Mittels des Zugfadens 11 bzw. 11" können somit unterschiedlich gestaltete Aufgussbeutel 1, 1' bzw. 1" ausgepresst werden, ohne dass dabei auf diesen im Bereich der Öffnung 3 Kräfte ausgeübt werden. Die Zugkräfte werden vielmehr von der Schlinge 12 bzw. 12" aufgenommen, dennoch ist ein nahezu vollständiges Auspressen des Aufgussbeutels 11, 11' oder 11" gewährleistet.By means of the pull thread 11 or 11 ″, differently designed can thus Infusion bags 1, 1 'or 1 "are squeezed out without this in the Area of opening 3 forces are exerted. The traction is rather from the sling 12 or 12 "added, but is almost complete Squeezing the infusion bag 11, 11 'or 11 "guaranteed.

Bei der Ausgestaltung nach den Figuren 10 und 11 ist der Zugfaden 11" doppelt durch die in das Kopfteil 2" des Aufgussbeutels 1" eingearbeitete Öffnung 3 gesteckt und bis in Höhe der Öffnung 3 um den Aufgussbeutel 1" geführt, so dass in deren Bereich ein schlingenförmiges Ende 15 gebildet ist. Des weiteren sind die beiden von der Öffnung 3 abstehenden Endstücke 13" und 14" durch das schlingenförmige Ende 15 gesteckt und bilden Zugglieder, an deren Enden wiederum das Etikett 21 befestigt ist. Sobald die Endstücke 13" und 14" auseinander gezogen werden, wird somit der Aufgussbeutel 1" ausgepresst.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 10 and 11, the pull thread 11 "is double inserted through the opening 3 machined into the head part 2 "of the infusion bag 1" and up to the level of the opening 3 around the infusion bag 1 ", so that in the Area a loop-shaped end 15 is formed. Furthermore, the two are from the opening 3 protruding end pieces 13 "and 14" through the loop-shaped Inserted end 15 and form tension members, at the ends of which the label 21st is attached. As soon as the end pieces 13 "and 14" are pulled apart thus the infusion bag 1 "pressed out.

Um das schlingenförmige Ende 15 zu stabilisieren, sind vor diesem die beiden Teile des Zugfadens 11" durch einen Knoten 16 fest miteinander verbunden, das schlingenförmige Ende 15 verbleibt somit, auch bei ungleichmäßiger Kraftausübung auf die Endstücke 13" und/oder 14", stets im Bereich der Öffnung 3 des Kopfteiles 2".In order to stabilize the loop-shaped end 15, the two parts are in front of it of the thread 11 "firmly connected to each other by a knot 16, the loop-shaped end 15 thus remains, even when the force is applied unevenly on the end pieces 13 "and / or 14", always in the area of the opening 3 of the head part 2 ".
