  • the invention has for its object to provide a secure fixation of the folded parts of a Aufguß milks each other and with the bag itself by a thread connection, which can be easily installed with little technical effort at high production speed.
  • the loop is preferably formed of cross-superimposed thread parts, with a short and a long thread end is provided, in particular for label attachment to the long end of the thread, and wherein to increase the safety of the node, the short end of the thread in the preferred embodiment in the cross-superimposed thread parts of Loop is arranged below the long end of the thread to the bag wall fitting.
  • the procedural solution of the object of the invention is in further development of the above-mentioned known method according to the invention thereby in that the first free end of the thread in a loop over a recess of a holder is placed, that the head part of the infusion bag is inserted into the recess of the holder and the loop of the thread here around the Head edge of the infusion bag sets that the thread then at its free End and at its long, continuous part by two each one folded corner and the middle part of the head part through holes two below the closed part of the loop the infusion bag penetrating needles is detected and the free end and the continuous Part first in a loop and then completely out of the infusion bag pulled out and that the wrap of the thread finally through Train is tightened in particular at its continuous part.
  • the holder has guide openings for the needles. To pull through the Thread must this at the passing part at the latest before the withdrawal of the Needles are cut off.
  • the continuous part forms such a long Thread end that can be used for label attachment.
  • the inventive method closes the folded head part of Infusion bag exclusively with the help of the thread, so it is not on one Needed help thread.
  • the thread is passed through the needles through the head section of the Infusion bag pulled or pushed, with the holder guide openings contains for the needles.
  • the needles only lead to a simple movement Piercing the head portion of the infusion bag, so that a simple and fast movement is possible.
  • a previous punching of the head part the infusion bag is dispensable.
  • the bag head goes through the two stitches the right and left of the center securely closed, with the folded corners be fixed.
  • the attachment can be done in a continuous process be carried out in a quiet machine and high volumes. Of the Knot dissolves due to the frictional forces even under low bias, the means easy tightening, not.
  • the infusion bag 1 shown in Figs. 1a to 1c is shown in FIG. 1c first at its head part 6 by folding over the corners 1a and 1b and then Closed folds of the central part 1c, so that the inside of the chamber located substrate, especially tea, can not escape. Subsequently is the infusion bag 1 according to FIGS. 2a to 5b with a thread closure. 7 provided, the construction of which in particular of Fig. 1b is easily removed. to Formation of the thread closure 7 are in the head part 6 two with lateral Distance juxtaposed left and right of the longitudinal axis of the bag Holes 8 and 9 are formed, each having a folded corner 1a and 1b and the Pass through center part 1c of the head part 6. In order to make this possible, according to FIG. 1c in the head part 6 of the infusion bag 1 with the middle part 1c not yet folded over a total of four recesses provided after folding the middle section 1c in pairs correspond to each other and the equiaxed through Holes 8 and 9 form.
  • the thread closure 7 also has a thread 3, which forms a Loop 3a with its one end 3b through the one hole 9 and with his the other end 3c is guided through the second hole 8, wherein the loop 3a on the front in the drawing of the bag 1 and the ends 3b and 3c on the back of the bag 1 in the drawing.
  • the loop is over placed the top edge 10 of the infusion bag 1 and the two ends 3b and 3c of the Thread 3 are guided from below through the loop 3a.
  • a double-secured node 11 is formed, the corners 1a and 1b and the middle part 1c of the head part 6 in the closed position fixed together and with the infusion bag.
  • Thread 3 has been placed in the form of a loop 3a, the best in Fig. 2b to recognize.
  • the free end 3b of the loop 3a is in this case together with the continuous part 3c of the thread 3 on one side of the recess 2a, whereas the closed part of the loop 3a on the other side of the Recess 2a rests on the holder 2.
  • the loop 3a is through the head edge of the infusion bag 1 is pressed into the recess 2a, so that she lays around the head edge.
  • Figs. 3a and 3b penetrate two needles 4, which in Figs. 2a and 2b in the Starting position are drawn below the loop 3a in the top of the Infusion bag. They capture with their trained at the bottom Barb 4a (see Fig. 2a) on the one hand the free end 3b and on the other hand the continuous part 3c of the thread 3, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b show.
