Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Aufgußbeutel, insbesondere für Tee, an dessen Kopfteil ein zur Handhabung und/oder Information dienender Faden mit Etikett befestigt ist, wobei der mit seinem freien Fadenende auf der einen Seite des Etiketts liegende Faden in einer Schlaufe durch das Etikett gezogen ist. Die Erfindung betrifft weiter ein Verfahren zum Befestigen eines Etiketts am Faden eines Aufgußbeutels.The invention relates to an infusion bag, especially for tea, on the head part a thread for handling and / or information is attached with a label with the free end of the thread on one side of the label lying thread is pulled through the label in a loop. The invention further relates to a method for attaching a label to the thread of a Infusion bag.

Ein derartiger Aufgußbeutel sowie ein derartiges Verfahren sind aus der US 1 857 625 bekannt. Die in diesem Zusammenhang seitens der US 1 857 625 offenbarte Vorrichtung ist technisch aufwendig und läßt eine sichere Fixierung des Etiketts am Faden durch eine Fadenverbindung bei hoher Herstellungsgeschwindigkeit nicht zu.Such an infusion bag and such a method are known from US 1 857 625 known. In this connection by the US 1 857 625 disclosed device is technically complex and leaves a safe Fixation of the label on the thread by a thread connection at high Manufacturing speed not too.

Ferner ist es bekannt, Aufgußbeutel ausschließlich durch einen Faden zu verschließen. Hierzu werden am Kopfteil des Aufgußbeutels zuerst die Ecken umgefaltet und anschließend das Mittelteil über die umgefalteten Ecken gefaltet, so daß sich ein zuverlässiger Verschluß des Aufgußbeutels ergibt. Dieser Verschluß wird durch einen Faden gesichert, für dessen Anbringung es mehrere Möglichkeiten gibt. It is also known to seal infusion bags exclusively with a thread. To do this, the corners of the infusion bag are first folded over and then folded the middle part over the folded corners, so that there is a reliable closure of the infusion bag. This closure will secured by a thread, there are several ways of attaching it gives.

Bei einer bekannten Ausführungsform gemäß deutschem Gebrauchsmusters 296 13 448 wird der an das Kopfteil des Aufgußbeutels angelegte Faden mittels eines separaten Befestigungsfadens angeheftet. Entsprechend wird der Faden mittels eines separaten Befestigungsfadens an dem zur Handhabung und/oder Information dienenden Etikett befestigt. Diese Verbindung des jeweiligen Fadenendes mit dem Aufgußbeutel bzw. dem Etikett hält höheren Belastungen nicht stand und ist verfahrenstechnisch aufwendig.In a known embodiment according to German utility model 296 13 448 is the thread applied to the head part of the infusion bag by means of a separate fastening thread attached. Accordingly, the thread is by means of a separate fastening thread on the for handling and / or information serving label attached. This connection of the respective thread end with the infusion bag or the label cannot and does not withstand higher loads procedurally complex.

Um eine einfachere Fadenanbringung zu schaffen, ist es aus der EP 0 807 579 bekannt, das gefaltete Kopfteil mit zwei Ausnehmungen zu versehen und den Aufgußbeutel derart neben einem gespannten Faden anzuordnen, daß dieser in Höhe der Ausnehmungen verläuft und durch jede der Ausnehmungen eine Fangnadel hindurchgeführt werden kann, die den Faden aufnehmen und durch die Ausnehmungen mit seinen beiden Enden durchziehen. Die freien Enden des durch die Ausnehmungen des Aufgußbeutels hindurchgeführten Fadens werden am Etikett, beispielsweise durch Anschweißen oder Anheften, befestigt. Nachteilig ist hierbei, daß die Befestigung locker und damit unsicher ist und die Möglichkeit besteht, daß sich die umgefalteten Bereiche des Kopfteils auffalten, so daß der Inhalt des Aufgußbeutels herausfallen kann bzw. ein Aroma- und Frischeverlust eintreten kann.In order to create a simpler thread attachment, it is known from EP 0 807 579 known to provide the folded headboard with two recesses and the infusion bag to be arranged next to a tensioned thread in such a way that it is in height of the recesses and a catch pin through each of the recesses can be passed through, which take up the thread and through the recesses pull through with both ends. The free ends of the through the Recesses of the thread passed through the infusion bag are on the label, for example, by welding or tacking. The disadvantage here is that the attachment is loose and therefore unsafe and there is a possibility that unfold the folded areas of the head part so that the contents of the infusion bag can fall out or a loss of aroma and freshness can occur.

Es ist ferner aus der EP 0 691 268 ein Fadenverschluß bekannt, bei dem durch ein einziges Loch im Kopfteil des Aufgußbeutels eine Nadel hindurchgeführt wird, die einen dahintergelegten Faden erfaßt und durch die Öffnung unter Bildung einer Schlinge zurückzieht, die sodann zur Bildung eines Knotens verwendet wird. Nachteilig ist dabei, daß nicht sichergestellt ist, daß die eingefalteten Ecken und das darüber gefaltete Mittelteil des Kopfteils miteinander und mit dem Beutel durch die Fadenverbindung erfaßt werden und durch den gebildeten Knoten verbunden werden. Der Verschluß ist selbst bei hoher Herstellungspräzision beim Falten, Lochen und bei der Fadenführung nicht ausreichend sicher.A thread closure is also known from EP 0 691 268, in which a only hole in the head part of the infusion bag a needle is passed through captured a thread behind it and through the opening to form a Pulls back the loop, which is then used to form a knot. The disadvantage here is that it is not ensured that the folded corners and the middle part of the head part folded over with each other and with the bag the thread connection are detected and connected by the knot formed become. The closure is even with high manufacturing precision when folding, punching and not sufficiently safe when threading.

Der Erfindung liegt in Anbetracht dieses Standes der Technik die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine sichere Fixierung des Etiketts am Faden durch eine Fadenverbindung sicherzustellen, die einfach mit geringem technischen Aufwand bei hoher Herstellungsgeschwindigkeit angebracht werden kann. In view of this prior art, the invention is based on the object of ensuring a secure fixation of the label on the thread by means of a thread connection which can be easily attached with little technical effort at high production speed.

Die Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß an einem Aufgußbeutel der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß die Schlaufe von der anderen Seite in zwei Schlitze im Randbereich des Etiketts derart eingelegt ist, daß ihr geschlossener Teil auf der einen Seite des Etiketts liegt und die Umschlingung durch Zug am Faden festgezogen ist.The object is inventively achieved in an infusion bag of the type mentioned in that the loop from the other side in two slits is inserted in the edge region of the label such that its closed part lies on the one side of the label and the wrap by train on the thread is tightened.

Die Befestigung des Etiketts am freien Ende des Fadens erfolgt auf einfache Weise und kann insbesondere in einem kontinuierlich arbeitenden Verfahren bei ruhigem Maschinenlauf und hohen Stückzahlen durchgeführt werden. Der Knoten löst sich aufgrund der Reibkräfte auch unter geringer Vorspannung, das heißt lockerem Festziehen, nicht.The label is attached to the free end of the thread in a simple manner Wise and can in particular in a continuous process quiet machine operation and high numbers of pieces can be carried out. The knot loosens due to the frictional forces even under low preload, that is loose tightening, not.

Verfahrensgemäß wird zur Lösung der Aufgabe der mit seinem freien Fadenende auf der einen Seite des Etiketts liegende Faden von einer das Etikett durchdringenden Nadel erfaßt und in einer Schlaufe durch das Etikett gezogen. Die Schlaufe wird anschließend von der anderen Seite in zwei Schlitze im Randbereich des Etiketts derart eingelegt, daß ihr geschlossener Teil wieder auf der einen Seite des Etiketts zu liegen kommt. Anschließend wird die Umschlingung durch Zug am Faden festgezogen.According to the method, the problem is solved with the free end of the thread thread on one side of the label from a thread penetrating the label Gripped the needle and pulled it through the label in a loop. The The loop is then from the other side in two slots in the edge area the label inserted so that its closed part again on one Side of the label comes to rest. Then the loop is through Pull on the thread.

Mit der Erfindung wird ein mit einfachen technischen Vorrichtungen und hoher Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit arbeitendes Verfahren zum Befestigen eines Etiketts am freien Ende eines mit dem anderen Ende an einem Aufgußbeutel befestigten Fadens geschaffen, das nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert wird.

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Aufgußbeutel 1 ist an seinem Kopfteil 6 durch Umfalten der Ecken 1a und 1b und anschließendes Darüberfalten des Mittelteils 1c verschlossen, und mit einem Fadenverschluß 7 versehen, so daß das im Inneren der Kammer befindliche Substrat, insbesondere Tee, nicht heraustreten kann.The infusion bag 1 shown in Fig. 1 is at its head 6 by folding closed the corners 1a and 1b and then folding the middle part 1c over them, and provided with a thread closure 7, so that the inside the substrate located in the chamber, especially tea, cannot emerge.

Der Fadenverschluß 7 weist einen Faden 3 auf, der unter Bildung einer Schlaufe 3a mit seinem einen Ende 3b durch ein Loch 9 und mit seinem anderen Ende 3c durch ein zweites Loch 8 geführt ist, wobei sich die Schlaufe 3a in der Zeichnung auf der Vorderseite des Beutels 1 und die Enden 3b und 3c sich auf der in der Zeichnung Rückseite des Beutels 1 befinden. Die Schlaufe ist über die Kopfkante 10 des Aufgußbeutels 1 gelegt und die beiden Enden 3b und 3c des Fadens 3 sind von unten durch die Schlaufe 3a geführt. Durch Anziehen eines oder beider Enden des Fadens 3 ist ein doppelt gesicherter Knoten 11 gebildet, der die Ecken 1a und 1b sowie das Mittelteil 1c des Kopfteils 6 in Schließstellung miteinander und mit dem Aufgußbeutel 1 fixiert.The thread closure 7 has a thread 3, which forms a loop 3a with one end 3b through a hole 9 and with its other end 3c is guided through a second hole 8, the loop 3a in the drawing on the front of the bag 1 and the ends 3b and 3c on the in the Drawing back of bag 1 are located. The loop is over the top edge 10 of the infusion bag 1 and the two ends 3b and 3c of the thread 3rd are guided from below through the loop 3a. By tightening one or both End of the thread 3 is a double secured knot 11 which forms the corners 1a and 1b and the central part 1c of the head part 6 in the closed position with one another and fixed with the infusion bag 1.

Wie Fig. 1 zeigt, ist an dem freien Ende 3e des Fadens 3 ein Etikett 5 befestigt, wobei der mit seinem freien Fadenende 3e auf der einen Seite des Etiketts 5 liegende Faden 3 von einer das Etikett 5 durchdringenden Nadel erfaßt und in einer Schlaufe 3f durch das Etikett 5 gezogen ist, die Schlaufe 3f anschließend von der anderen Seite in zwei Schlitze 5a im Randbereich des Etiketts 5 derart eingelegt ist, daß ihr geschlossener Teil wieder auf der einen Seite des Etiketts 5 zu liegen kommt, und wobei anschließend durch Zug am Faden 3 die Umschlingung festgezogen ist.1 shows, a label 5 is attached to the free end 3e of the thread 3, the free thread end 3e lying on one side of the label 5 Thread 3 is gripped by a needle penetrating the label 5 and in a Loop 3f is pulled through the label 5, then the loop 3f from the the other side in two slots 5a in the edge region of the label 5 so inserted is that its closed part is again on one side of the label 5 comes, and then tightened by pulling the thread 3 the loop is.

Zur Befestigung eines in den Fig. 2a bis 5b dargestellten Etiketts 5 am anderen Ende des Fadens 3 wird dieser mit seinem Ende 3e gemäß den Fig. 2a und 2b an eine Seite des Etiketts 5 gelegt. Vorzugsweise mittels einer mit Widerhaken versehenen Nadel wird das Etikett 5 durchstochen und der Faden 3 an seinem Fadenende 3e erfaßt. Das Fadenende 3e wird gemäß den Fig. 3a und 3b in Form einer Schlaufe 3f durch das Etikett 5 hindurchgezogen.For attaching a label 5 shown in FIGS. 2a to 5b to the other The end of the thread 3 is at its end 3e according to FIGS. 2a and 2b one side of the label 5 is placed. Preferably using a barbed one Needle is pierced through the label 5 and the thread 3 on his Thread end 3e detected. The thread end 3e is shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b in shape a loop 3f pulled through the label 5.

Diese Schlaufe 3f wird nunmehr erfaßt und gemäß den Fig. 4a und 4b in Schlitze 5a gelegt, die im Randbereich des Etiketts ausgebildet sind. Der geschlossene Teil der Schlaufe 3f kommt auf diese Weise wieder auf derselben Seite des Etiketts 5 zu liegen, auf der sich das Fadenende 3e und der durchlaufende Teil des Fadens 3 befindet. Diese Situation ist am besten in Fig. 5a zu erkennen.This loop 3f is now detected and in slots according to FIGS. 4a and 4b 5a, which are formed in the edge region of the label. The closed part in this way the loop 3f comes again on the same side of the label 5 to lie on which the thread end 3e and the continuous part of the thread 3 is located. This situation is best seen in Fig. 5a.

Durch Ausüben von Zug auf den Faden 3 wird schließlich die Umschlingung um das Etikett 5 festgezogen, so daß sich die in Fig. 5b dargestellte Situation ergibt.By exerting tension on the thread 3, the loop is finally around the label 5 is tightened so that the situation shown in Fig. 5b results.

Wie aus den voranstehenden Erläuterungen hervorgeht, wird mit einfachen Mitteln ein Umschlingen des Etiketts 5 erreicht, wobei die Haftung des Fadens 3 ausreicht, um ein zuverlässiges Befestigen des Etiketts 5 zu erreichen.As can be seen from the above explanations, using simple means a looping of the label 5 is achieved, the adhesion of the thread 3 is sufficient to achieve a reliable attachment of the label 5.
