typiquement à partir d'un rouleau de réserve, selon sa direction d'élongation 12.The
Comme représenté sur la figure 1, des paires de découpes 20, 22, sont
réalisées séquentiellement dans la feuille 10, dans deux zones 30, 32 de la feuille 10
destinées à former ultérieurement des soufflets latéraux longitudinaux 40, 42.As shown in FIG. 1, pairs of
De telles découpes 20, 22, peuvent être réalisées à l'aide d'emporte-pièce
classiques schématisés sous la référence 21, 23, sur la figure 1. Le défilement du
film 10 dans la direction 12 peut être interrompu pendant le déplacement des
emporte-pièce 21, 23.
Sur la figure 1, on a référencé 18 une génératrice transversale à la direction d'élongation 12 qui coïncide avec le sommet d'un sachet.In Figure 1, there is referenced 18 a generatrix transverse direction of elongation 12 which coincides with the top of a bag.

Pour une soudure longitudinale finale de fermeture 60 du sachet située à
mi-largeur de celui-ci, (comme illustré sur la figure 4) les deux découpes 20, 22
sont symétriques par rapport au milieu de la feuille. Par contre, si la soudure
longitudinale de fermeture 60 doit être décalée par rapport au milieu du sachet, les

Selon l'illustration donnée sur les figures, les soufflets latéraux 20, 22 sont
ébauchés avant que les moyens de fermeture 70 ne soient placés sur la feuille 10.According to the illustration given in the figures, the
Cependant, la disposition inverse peut être retenue, c'est-à-dire qu'en
variante les moyens de fermeture peuvent être placés sur la feuille 10 avant que les
soufflets latéraux 40, 42 ne soient ébauchés ou réalisés.However, the opposite arrangement can be retained, ie
variant the closure means can be placed on the
Dans le cadre de la présente invention, les moyens de fermeture 70, sont
formés de préférence de profilés complémentaires 72, 74 portés par des ailes
supports respectives 77, 78, par exemple sous forme d'une bande 76 repliée sur
elle-même en U. Ainsi, la bande 76 forme deux ailes support 77, 78 globalement
parallèles entre elles orientées transversalement à la direction longitudinale 12 du
sachet.In the context of the present invention, the closure means 70 are
formed preferably of
Les profilés complémentaires 72, 74 peuvent faire l'objet de diverses
variantes. Il peut s'agir par exemple de structures en crochets complémentaires ou
encore respectivement d'un élément mâle en forme de flèche et d'un élément
femelle en forme de gorge à bords convergents.The

l'intérieur ou vers l'extérieur du sachet.The U-shaped

moyens de fermeture est fixée, de préférence par soudure (le cas échéant par
collage, ou tout autre moyen approprié) sur le panneau inférieur sous-jacent de la
feuille 10.Once positioned on the
Le cas échéant, pour faciliter la fixation des moyens de fermeture 70 par
soudure, les deux ailes 77, 78 peuvent avoir des largeurs différentes (dans cette
hypothèse l'aile inférieure 78 est la plus large).If necessary, to facilitate the fixing of the closure means 70 by
welding, the two
On a schématisé sous la référence 79 sur la figure 3, une machine de
soudure transversale, destinée à assurer la fixation de l'aile inférieure 78 sur le film

Les soufflets latéraux 40, 42 sont formés à l'aide de tous moyens
appropriés, par exemple à l'aide de lames parallèles 80, 82, 84, 86 s'étendant dans la
direction longitudinale 12 et dont les arêtes longitudinales 81, 83, 85 et 87
alternativement externe ou interne sont décalées d'une amplitude égale à la
profondeur souhaitée des soufflets, comme illustré sur la figure 5.The
Plus précisément encore selon la représentation illustrée sur les figures
annexées, les soufflets latéraux sont réalisés en deux temps : dans un premier temps
(figure 2) deux plis longitudinaux parallèles 44, 46 sont réalisés au niveau de
chaque soufflet 40, 42, alors conformés en Z, puis dans un deuxième temps (figure
4) un dernier pli longitudinal 48 est réalisé au niveau de chaque soufflet 40, 42 pour
achever ceux-ci.More precisely still according to the representation illustrated in the figures
appended, the lateral bellows are made in two stages: at first
(FIG. 2) two parallel
Le troisième pli 48 peut être réalisé par exemple à l'aide d'une troisième
lame 88, 90, comme illustré sur la figure 6, dont l'arête longitudinale externe 89, 91
est superposée à l'arête externe 81, 85 de la lame inférieure 80, 84.The
Typiquement la largeur d3 de chaque panneau élémentaire formé entre un
bord longitudinal 14, 16 et un pli interne 46 est égale à la somme de la moitié de la
largeur d2 du panneau inférieur formé entre les deux plis externes 44, la profondeur
d1/2 des soufflets (distance entre les plis 44 et 46) et la largeur d4 nécessaire pour
fixer les bords longitudinaux 14, 16 entre eux (ceci pour une soudure longitudinale
médiane). Dans le cas où la soudure longitudinale n'est pas médiane, la somme des
largeurs des deux panneaux élémentaires formés respectivement entre les bords
longitudinaux 14, 16 et un pli interne 46 est égale à la somme de la largeur d2 du
panneau inférieur formé entre les deux plis externes 44, le double d1 de la
profondeur des soufflets et le double de la largeur d4 nécessaire pour fixer les bords
longitudinaux 14, 16 entre eux.Typically the width d3 of each elementary panel formed between a
Il reste alors à rapprocher les deux bords longitudinaux 14, 16 de la feuille
10 et à fixer ceux-ci par tous moyens appropriés, de préférence par soudure, voire
par collage ou autre moyen équivalent et à fixer la seconde aile support 77 des
moyens de fermeture sur le panneau supérieur de la feuille composant le sachet.It then remains to bring the two

appropriés, par exemple à l'aide de galets ou goulottes connus.The
Sur la figure 4 on a schématisé en 61, 62 deux mâchoires de soudure
susceptibles d'assurer la soudure longitudinale 60 et on a schématisé en 63 une
mâchoire transversale susceptible de fixer la seconde aile 77 des moyens de
fermeture 70.FIG. 4 shows schematically in 61, 62 two welding jaws

Les modalités de fermeture transversale et de remplissage des sachets peuvent faire l'objet de diverses variantes de réalisation.The methods of transverse closure and filling of the sachets may be subject to various embodiments.
A titre d'exemples non limitatifs :
- l'ensemble tubulaire obtenu après mise en oeuvre des étapes précitées peut être conditionné en l'état, par exemple enroulé sur lui-même ou plié en zig-zag autour de plis transversaux, afin d'être exploité ultérieurement, par tronçonnage pour individualiser les sachets, remplir ceux-ci puis les fermer, par exemple à l'aide d'une soudure transversale au niveau du fond des sachets ;
- en variante, chaque élément formant un sachet peut être individualisé par tronçonnage transversal en vue d'un remplissage et d'une fermeture ultérieurs ;
- chaque élément de l'ensemble tubulaire précité correspondant à un sachet peut
recevoir son contenu avant réalisation du
dernier pli 48. Dans ce cas chaque sachet peut être fermé hermétiquement par réalisation d'un joint transversal, par exemple par soudure, et individualisé par tronçonnage transversal entre ce joint correspondant au fond d'un sachet et les moyens de fermeture correspondant au sommet d'un sachet adjacent ; - en variante l'ensemble tubulaire précité peut être pourvu séquentiellement de
découpes transversales 100 réalisées dans l'un de ses éléments de parois, comme
schématisé sur la figure 7, pour constituer un chapelet de sachets en série. Ces
découpes 100 sont réalisées sur lagénératrice 18, entre le sommet d'un sachet et le fond du sachet adjacent. Detelles découpes 100 peuvent être formées dans lefilm 10 simultanément aux 20, 22. La présence de telles découpes facilitent le remplissage ultérieur en cascade des sachets. Une fois les sachets remplis, ceux-ci peuvent être obturés en scellant lesdécoupes découpes 100 par soudure.
- the tubular assembly obtained after implementation of the above steps may be packaged in the state, for example wound on itself or folded zig-zag around transverse folds, to be operated later, by cutting to individualize the sachets, fill them and then close them, for example using a transverse weld at the bottom of the bags;
- alternatively, each bag-forming member may be individualized by transverse cutting for subsequent filling and closing;
- each element of the above-mentioned tubular assembly corresponding to a sachet can receive its contents before the
last fold 48 is made. In this case each sachet can be hermetically closed by making a transverse seal, for example by welding, and individualized by transverse cutting. between this seal corresponding to the bottom of a bag and the closing means corresponding to the top of an adjacent bag; - alternatively, the above-mentioned tubular assembly may be provided sequentially with
transverse cuts 100 made in one of its wall elements, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 7, to constitute a series of sachets in series. Thesecuts 100 are made on thegenerator 18, between the top of a bag and the bottom of the adjacent bag.Such cuts 100 may be formed in thefilm 10 simultaneously with the 20, 22. The presence of such cutouts facilitate the subsequent cascade filling of the bags. Once the bags are filled, they can be closed by sealing thecuts cuts 100 by welding.
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.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the modes of particular embodiments which have just been described, but extends to all variants consistent with his spirit.
Comme évoqué précédemment et comme illustré sur la figure 8, les
moyens de fermeture 70 peuvent être équipés d'un curseur de commande 110. Un
tel curseur de commande connu en lui-même ne sera pas décrit dans le détail. On
rappellera simplement qu'un tel curseur 110 comprend généralement une embase
112 lié à deux flancs latéraux 113, 114 disposés de part et d'autre d'une semelle
centrale 116 conçue pour être placée entre les profilés de fermeture
complémentaires. Les flancs latéraux 113, 114 définissent en combinaison avec la
semelle centrale deux canaux convergents vers une extrémité du curseur. Le
déplacement du curseur dans un sens (extrémité convergente des canaux en aval)
rapproche les profilés de fermeture et ferme le sachet. Le déplacement du curseur
110 dans le sens inverse sépare les profilés de fermeture 72, 74 grâce à la semelle
