Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system opening / closing of packaging bag, and a packaging bag equipped with this opening / closing system.
- This bag is especially intended for the packaging of products relatively heavy, in granular or pulverulent form.
- the bag according to the invention finds a particularly interesting application for the packaging of animal feed products, such as kibbles or pasta, of foodstuffs sold in semi-wholesale, for example coffee, garden products such as potting soil, fertilizer or seeds, construction products such as cement or lime, or other.
- a packaging bag opening / closing system comprising a profiled longitudinal element which can be fitted into a another profiled longitudinal element having a complementary shape.
- the existing bags also have the disadvantage of not be very practical to handle when it comes to overturning them in order to realize the flow of the product they contain, and the conformation of openings of these bags is not always well suited to flow controlled product.
- the existing paper bags also have drawbacks to have a poor seal, which poses odor problems on the points of sale for certain products, in particular products from pet food like kibbles, or exchange problems fluids generally through the walls of the bag the time required for the sale of products, including in particular the collection of moisture by the product or the drying of that product.
- the walls of these bags may also not be perfectly assembled at the folds to form the bottom or the top of the bags, and sometimes there are openings at the level of these folds, which allow entry into bags of insects such as cockroaches.
- the present invention aims to remedy all of these significant disadvantages.
- Its main objective is to provide a system easy to open / close opening / closing, allowing easy opening and quick to make, having a good seal, not clogging when the product contained in the bag generates dust, and being strong enough to be used on packaging bags containing relatively heavy products.
- the invention also aims to significantly improve handling of the bag when it is overturned in order to the flow of the product, and to ensure perfect control of this flow.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a bag having a perfect seal, particularly with regard to odors and humidity.
- An additional objective is to provide a bag having, for compared to bags according to the prior art, an improved visual appearance, especially having a reduced tendency to wrinkle and having an appearance shiny and smooth.

- This basic part allows, in addition to the assembly of the system to the wall of the bag, to stiffen the areas of the bag bordering the opening in the wall of the bag, so as to favor the displacement of the slide.
- This middle wall of the slide thus covers the opening of the bag when said longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag are connected to the wall of the bag and that said longitudinal elements of the slide come into engagement with these longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag.
- the opening or closing of the bag is carried out simply by moving the slide relative to the wall of the bag.
- the opening / closing system according to the invention does not imply thus no assembly by the consumer of a longitudinal element with another, but simply the displacement of the slide relative to the longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag.
- This opening / closing system is easy to handle and allows quick and easy opening of the bag. It does not get dirty when when it equips a bag containing a product which generates dust, these dust being extracted from the guide means formed by said longitudinal elements with each movement of the slide.
- the slide In the closed position, the slide fully covers the opening of the bag, which allows it to close with good seal.
- the two pairs of longitudinal elements give the system according to the invention a resistance allowing the use of this system on packages containing relatively heavy products.
- the slide comprises at least one tab intended to be entered by the user to operate the movement of the slide. It may in particular have a tab at each end allowing its displacement by traction on these legs in the direction of opening then in the direction of closing the bag.
- said longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag and said longitudinal elements of the slide are shaped so that they can be snapped into place, which very significantly facilitates the manufacture and assembly of the system.
- said longitudinal elements intended for be connected to the bag, said slide, and / or said longitudinal elements of the slide comprise means forming limit stops of the displacement of the slide in the direction of opening of the bag.
- This stop eliminates the risk of elements coming longitudinal of the slide out of grip with the longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag.
- this slide and / or these longitudinal elements of the slide can also include means forming limiting stops of the displacement of the slide in the direction of closing the bag, allowing clearly define the closing position of the slide.
- the slide comprises a lug of grip connected to it by a connecting portion, and extends from one side of said base piece while said grip tab extends from the other side of the base part, said connecting portion thus being engaged at across the opening that delimits the base part.
- the latter can thus be fixed against the internal face of the wall of the bag, which allows to hide it and hide the slide that it contains.
- only the grip tab protrudes from the outside of the bag, which has the advantage of making handling of the obvious system for the consumer, that is to say the capture of this gripping tab for moving the slide.
- the basic part delimits the entirety of the opening that it includes, especially the ends of this opening, and the areas of this base piece that delimit these ends of the opening, as well as said connecting portion, are dimensioned for constitute said stops limiting the movement of the slide.
- each of said zones of the base part delimiting one end of said opening forms a flap projecting in direction of the interior of this opening.
- the flaps thus formed are covered by said portion of connection in the closed position, which ensures a perfect seal opening / closing system according to the invention.
- These shutters preferably have a shape which is substantially semicircular.
- the bag according to the invention is, in turn, equipped with the system opening / closing as mentioned above.
- Handling the bag for overturning to the flow of the product is particularly simple since enough, after said cutting has been carried out, to grasp said handle with one hand to lift the bag, grab the bottom of the bag with the other hand and raise the bottom until the product slides into the chute.
- the walls of the bag joined together are extend above said junction line so as to form a double wall strip, and this strip includes openings allowing to arrange said handle.
- This handle is thus produced in a simple, easy and inexpensive manner. expensive, and is particularly solid, which ensures total security as for the resistance of this handle during transport of the bag.
- the walls of the bag are made of synthetic material can be welded.
- This material can be formed by so-called "bubble” extrusion with a polyethylene structure - EVOH - polyamide - polypropylene, and all types of medium, low or high density polyethylene, and be complexed on aluminum, polypropylene, polyester, aluminized polyester, paper, etc.
- This material proves to have, by its structure, a perfect sealing against fluid transfers between inside and outside from the bag.
- the figures represent a packaging bag 1, particularly intended for the packaging of a relatively heavy product, in the form granular or powdery, such as kibbles for feeding animals.
- the bag 1 has two main walls 2 and two walls side 3 of smaller dimensions.
- These walls 2, 3 are made of a material that can be heat sealed.
- the main walls 2 are joined together at the level of their upper parts, by heat sealing, along a line of junction 4, and each wall 3 is thermally welded to wall 2 adjacent, along junction lines that extend line 4.
- the walls 2 extend above the line 4 so as to form a strip 5 with double walls in the middle part of the bag 1.
- the walls 2, 3 include two openings 6 arranged in the middle zone of the strip 5, making it possible to arrange a handle 7 for carrying and handling the bag 1.
- Two pieces of material can be attached to the face internal walls 2 at the level of these openings 6, in order to reinforce these walls at the level of these openings.
- the wall 2 has a precut delimiting a band 9 in below and along line 4, and has a closure system 10 fixed on its internal face below this strip 9, as shown by the figure 2.
- the strip 9 has rounded ends, which are cut and which can thus be lifted and seized to allow the withdrawal of this band 9 by manual traction.
- the closure system 10 comprises a basic part 11 and a slide 12.
- the base part 11 is made of a synthetic material capable of to be fixed to the wall 2 in particular by heat sealing. It presents a elongated shape and rounded ends, and defines an opening central 15 in the form of a slot.
- these ribs and returns 22 are shaped to allow a snap of elements 30 shown on the parts upper of FIGS. 7 to 11 in the elements 20 shown on the lower parts of Figures 7 to 11.
- Each of the elements 20 can have a middle rib 23 forming an additional sliding surface, as well as appears in Figure 8.
- the base part 11 has, at one of its ends, a slot transverse 24 dimensioned to receive the slider 12 through it, with possibility of sliding.
- zones 11a of the part 11 which delimit the ends of the opening 15 form semi-circular flaps 25.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un système d'ouverture/fermeture de sac d'emballage, et un sac d'emballage équipé de ce système d'ouverture/fermeture.The present invention relates to a system opening / closing of packaging bag, and a packaging bag equipped with this opening / closing system.
Ce sac est notamment destiné à l'emballage de produits relativement pesants, sous forme granulaire ou pulvérulente. Le sac selon l'invention trouve une application particulièrement intéressante pour l'emballage de produits d'alimentation pour animaux, du genre croquettes ou pâtes, de produits alimentaires vendus en demi-gros, par exemple du café, de produits de jardinerie tels que du terreau, de l'engrais ou des graines, de produits de construction tels que du ciment ou de la chaux, ou autres.This bag is especially intended for the packaging of products relatively heavy, in granular or pulverulent form. The bag according to the invention finds a particularly interesting application for the packaging of animal feed products, such as kibbles or pasta, of foodstuffs sold in semi-wholesale, for example coffee, garden products such as potting soil, fertilizer or seeds, construction products such as cement or lime, or other.
L'emballage de produits relativement pesants sous forme granulaire ou pulvérulente est actuellement réalisé au moyen de sacs en papier comprenant des anses à leurs extrémités supérieures, formant deux poignées de portage. Ces anses sont constituées par des bandes en papier renforcé et sont rapportées sur les parois du sac.The packaging of relatively heavy products in the form granular or powdery is currently carried out using bags in paper with handles at their upper ends, forming two carrying handles. These handles are made up of paper strips reinforced and are reported on the walls of the bag.
La partie supérieure de tels sacs est fermée par collage ou par des coutures.The upper part of such bags is closed by gluing or by seams.
Ces sacs ont pour inconvénient important de ne pas être très faciles à ouvrir et de devoir être plus ou moins déchirés pour permettre leur ouverture, ce qui rend l'écoulement des produits relativement imprécis et peut conduire à des renversements.These bags have the significant disadvantage of not being very easy to open and to be more or less torn to allow them opening, which makes the flow of products relatively imprecise and can lead to spills.
Il existe un système d'ouverture/fermeture de sac d'emballage comprenant un élément longitudinal profilé pouvant être emboíté dans un autre élément longitudinal profilé présentant une forme complémentaire.There is a packaging bag opening / closing system comprising a profiled longitudinal element which can be fitted into a another profiled longitudinal element having a complementary shape.
Ce système ne donne pas parfaitement satisfaction. En effet, il n'est pas très facile à manipuler et n'a pas une très bonne étanchéité. De plus, il a pour inconvénient de s'encrasser lorsque le produit contenu dans le sac génère des poussières, comme cela est le cas des aliments pour animaux sous forme de croquettes. En outre, l'assemblage desdits éléments longitudinaux peut ne pas être suffisamment résistant pour permettre l'utilisation du système sur des sacs d'emballage contenant des produits relativement pesants.This system is not entirely satisfactory. Indeed, it is not very easy to handle and does not have a very good seal. Of more, it has the disadvantage of clogging when the product contained in the bag generates dust, as is the case with food for animals in the form of kibbles. In addition, the assembly of said longitudinal members may not be strong enough to allow the system to be used on packaging bags containing relatively heavy products.
Les sacs existants ont également pour inconvénient de ne pas être très pratiques à manipuler lorsqu'il s'agit de les renverser afin de réaliser l'écoulement du produit qu'ils contiennent, et la conformation des ouvertures de ces sacs n'est pas toujours bien adaptée à un écoulement contrôlé du produit.The existing bags also have the disadvantage of not be very practical to handle when it comes to overturning them in order to realize the flow of the product they contain, and the conformation of openings of these bags is not always well suited to flow controlled product.
Les sacs en papier existants ont également pour inconvénients d'avoir une étanchéité médiocre, qui pose des problèmes d'odeurs sur les lieux de vente pour certains produits, en particulier les produits de nourriture pour animaux du type croquettes, ou des problèmes d'échanges fluidiques en général à travers les parois du sac le temps nécessaire à la vente des produits, consistant notamment en la captation d'humidité par le produit ou la dessiccation de ce produit.The existing paper bags also have drawbacks to have a poor seal, which poses odor problems on the points of sale for certain products, in particular products from pet food like kibbles, or exchange problems fluids generally through the walls of the bag the time required for the sale of products, including in particular the collection of moisture by the product or the drying of that product.
Les parois de ces sacs peuvent en outre ne pas être parfaitement assemblées au niveau des plis permettant de former le fond ou la partie supérieure des sacs, et il arrive qu'il subsiste des ouvertures au niveau de ces plis, qui permettent l'entrée dans les sacs d'insectes tels que des blattes.The walls of these bags may also not be perfectly assembled at the folds to form the bottom or the top of the bags, and sometimes there are openings at the level of these folds, which allow entry into bags of insects such as cockroaches.
La présente invention vise à remédier à l'ensemble de ces inconvénients importants.The present invention aims to remedy all of these significant disadvantages.
Elle a pour objectif principal de fournir un système d'ouverture/fermeture facile à manipuler, permettant une ouverture facile et rapide à réaliser, ayant une bonne étanchéité, ne s'encrassant pas lorsque le produit contenu dans le sac génère des poussières, et étant suffisamment résistant pour pouvoir être utilisé sur des sacs d'emballage contenant des produits relativement pesants.Its main objective is to provide a system easy to open / close opening / closing, allowing easy opening and quick to make, having a good seal, not clogging when the product contained in the bag generates dust, and being strong enough to be used on packaging bags containing relatively heavy products.
L'invention a également pour objectifs d'améliorer notablement la manipulation du sac au moment du renversement de celui-ci en vue de l'écoulement du produit, et d'assurer un parfait contrôle de cet écoulement.The invention also aims to significantly improve handling of the bag when it is overturned in order to the flow of the product, and to ensure perfect control of this flow.
Un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir un sac ayant une étanchéité parfaite notamment à l'égard des odeurs et de l'humidité.Another object of the invention is to provide a bag having a perfect seal, particularly with regard to odors and humidity.
Un objectif supplémentaire est de fournir un sac ayant, par rapport aux sacs selon la technique antérieure, un aspect visuel amélioré, en particulier ayant une tendance réduite à se froisser et ayant un aspect brillant et lisse.An additional objective is to provide a bag having, for compared to bags according to the prior art, an improved visual appearance, especially having a reduced tendency to wrinkle and having an appearance shiny and smooth.
Selon l'invention, le système d'ouverture/fermeture comprend :
- deux éléments longitudinaux formant chacun un moyen de guidage en coulissement, l'un de ces éléments longitudinaux étant destiné à être relié, directement ou non, à l'un des bords du sac délimitant l'ouverture que comprend ce sac et l'autre de ces éléments longitudinaux étant destiné à être relié, directement ou non, à l'autre des bords du sac délimitant cette ouverture ;
- un coulisseau comprenant :
- (i) deux éléments longitudinaux formant chacun un moyen de guidage en coulissement, l'un de ces éléments longitudinaux étant destiné à venir en prise avec l'un desdits éléments longitudinaux destinés à être reliés au sac et pouvant coulisser par rapport à celui-ci, et l'autre de ces éléments longitudinaux étant destiné à venir en prise avec l'un desdits éléments longitudinaux destinés à être reliés au sac et pouvant coulisser par rapport à celui-ci ;
- (ii) une paroi médiane reliant les deux éléments longitudinaux du coulisseau l'un à l'autre.
- two longitudinal elements each forming a sliding guide means, one of these longitudinal elements being intended to be connected, directly or not, to one of the edges of the bag delimiting the opening that comprises this bag and the other of these longitudinal elements being intended to be connected, directly or not, to the other of the edges of the bag delimiting this opening;
- a slide comprising:
- (i) two longitudinal elements each forming a sliding guide means, one of these longitudinal elements being intended to come into engagement with one of said longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag and capable of sliding relative to the latter , and the other of these longitudinal elements being intended to come into engagement with one of said longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag and being able to slide relative to the latter;
- (ii) a central wall connecting the two longitudinal elements of the slide to one another.
Suivant la caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, le système comprend une pièce de base plane délimitant au moins partiellement une ouverture à travers elle et comportant les deux éléments longitudinaux destinés à être reliés au sac, cette pièce de base pouvant ainsi recevoir le coulisseau et étant destinée à être fixée à la paroi du sac de telle sorte que l'ouverture qu'elle délimite coïncide avec l'ouverture aménagée dans la paroi du sac.According to the essential characteristic of the invention, the system comprises a flat base part defining at least partially a opening through it and comprising the two longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag, this basic part can thus receive the slider and being intended to be fixed to the wall of the bag so that the opening it defines coincides with the opening in the wall of the bag.
Cette pièce de base permet, outre l'assemblage du système à la paroi du sac, de rigidifier les zones du sac bordant l'ouverture aménagée dans la paroi du sac, de manière à favoriser le déplacement du coulisseau.This basic part allows, in addition to the assembly of the system to the wall of the bag, to stiffen the areas of the bag bordering the opening in the wall of the bag, so as to favor the displacement of the slide.
Cette paroi médiane du coulisseau recouvre ainsi l'ouverture du sac lorsque lesdits éléments longitudinaux destinés à être reliés au sac sont reliés à la paroi du sac et que lesdits éléments longitudinaux du coulisseau viennent en prise avec ces éléments longitudinaux destinés à être reliés au sac.This middle wall of the slide thus covers the opening of the bag when said longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag are connected to the wall of the bag and that said longitudinal elements of the slide come into engagement with these longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag.
L'ouverture ou la fermeture du sac est réalisée simplement en déplaçant le coulisseau par rapport à la paroi du sac.The opening or closing of the bag is carried out simply by moving the slide relative to the wall of the bag.
Le système d'ouverture/fermeture selon l'invention n'implique ainsi aucun assemblage par le consommateur d'un élément longitudinal avec un autre, mais simplement le déplacement du coulisseau par rapport aux éléments longitudinaux destinés à être reliés au sac. The opening / closing system according to the invention does not imply thus no assembly by the consumer of a longitudinal element with another, but simply the displacement of the slide relative to the longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag.
Ce système d'ouverture/fermeture est facile à manipuler et permet une ouverture facile et rapide du sac. Il ne s'encrasse pas lorsque lorsqu'il équipe un sac contenant un produit qui génère des poussières, ces poussières étant extraites des moyens de guidage que forment lesdits éléments longitudinaux à chaque déplacement du coulisseau.This opening / closing system is easy to handle and allows quick and easy opening of the bag. It does not get dirty when when it equips a bag containing a product which generates dust, these dust being extracted from the guide means formed by said longitudinal elements with each movement of the slide.
En position de fermeture, le coulisseau recouvre intégralement l'ouverture du sac, dont il permet une fermeture avec une bonne étanchéité.In the closed position, the slide fully covers the opening of the bag, which allows it to close with good seal.
En outre, les deux paires d'éléments longitudinaux confèrent au système selon l'invention une résistance permettant l'utilisation de ce système sur des emballages contenant des produits relativement pesants.In addition, the two pairs of longitudinal elements give the system according to the invention a resistance allowing the use of this system on packages containing relatively heavy products.
Avantageusement, le coulisseau comprend au moins une patte destinée à être saisie par l'utilisateur pour opérer le déplacement du coulisseau. Il peut notamment comporter une patte à chaque extrémité permettant son déplacement par traction sur ces pattes dans le sens de l'ouverture puis dans le sens de la fermeture du sac.Advantageously, the slide comprises at least one tab intended to be entered by the user to operate the movement of the slide. It may in particular have a tab at each end allowing its displacement by traction on these legs in the direction of opening then in the direction of closing the bag.
De préférence, lesdits éléments longitudinaux destinés à être reliés au sac et lesdits éléments longitudinaux du coulisseau sont conformés pour pouvoir être amenés en prise par encliquetage, ce qui facilite très notablement la fabrication et l'assemblage du système.Preferably, said longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag and said longitudinal elements of the slide are shaped so that they can be snapped into place, which very significantly facilitates the manufacture and assembly of the system.
Avantageusement, lesdits éléments longitudinaux destinés à être reliés au sac, ledit coulisseau, et/ou lesdits éléments longitudinaux du coulisseau comprennent des moyens formant des butées limitatives du déplacement du coulisseau dans le sens de l'ouverture du sac.Advantageously, said longitudinal elements intended for be connected to the bag, said slide, and / or said longitudinal elements of the slide comprise means forming limit stops of the displacement of the slide in the direction of opening of the bag.
Cette butée permet d'éliminer le risque de venue des éléments longitudinaux du coulisseau hors de prise d'avec les éléments longitudinaux destinés à être reliés au sac.This stop eliminates the risk of elements coming longitudinal of the slide out of grip with the longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag.
Ces mêmes éléments longitudinaux destinés à être reliés au sac, ce coulisseau et/ou ces éléments longitudinaux du coulisseau peuvent également comprendre des moyens formant des butées limitatives du déplacement du coulisseau dans le sens de la fermeture du sac, permettant de définir nettement la position de fermeture du coulisseau.These same longitudinal elements intended to be connected to the bag, this slide and / or these longitudinal elements of the slide can also include means forming limiting stops of the displacement of the slide in the direction of closing the bag, allowing clearly define the closing position of the slide.
Cette définition nette de la position de fermeture du coulisseau réduit fortement le risque de mauvaise manipulation du système.This clear definition of the closed position of the slide greatly reduces the risk of improper handling of the system.
Avantageusement, le coulisseau comprend une patte de préhension reliée à lui par une portion de liaison, et s'étend d'un côté de ladite pièce de base tandis que ladite patte de préhension s'étend de l'autre côté de la pièce de base, ladite portion de liaison étant ainsi engagée au travers de l'ouverture que délimite la pièce de base.Advantageously, the slide comprises a lug of grip connected to it by a connecting portion, and extends from one side of said base piece while said grip tab extends from the other side of the base part, said connecting portion thus being engaged at across the opening that delimits the base part.
Cette dernière peut ainsi être fixée contre la face interne de la paroi du sac, ce qui permet de la masquer et de masquer le coulisseau qu'elle comporte. De plus, seule la patte de préhension dépasse sur l'extérieur du sac, ce qui a pour avantage de rendre la manipulation du système évidente pour le consommateur, c'est-à-dire la saisie de cette patte de préhension en vue du déplacement du coulisseau.The latter can thus be fixed against the internal face of the wall of the bag, which allows to hide it and hide the slide that it contains. In addition, only the grip tab protrudes from the outside of the bag, which has the advantage of making handling of the obvious system for the consumer, that is to say the capture of this gripping tab for moving the slide.
De préférence, la pièce de base délimite l'intégralité de l'ouverture qu'elle comprend, en particulier les extrémités de cette ouverture, et les zones de cette pièce de base qui délimitent ces extrémités de l'ouverture, ainsi que ladite portion de liaison, sont dimensionnées pour constituer lesdites butées limitatives du déplacement du coulisseau.Preferably, the basic part delimits the entirety of the opening that it includes, especially the ends of this opening, and the areas of this base piece that delimit these ends of the opening, as well as said connecting portion, are dimensioned for constitute said stops limiting the movement of the slide.
Avantageusement, chacune desdites zones de la pièce de base délimitant une extrémité de ladite ouverture forme un volet faisant saillie en direction de l'intérieur de cette ouverture.Advantageously, each of said zones of the base part delimiting one end of said opening forms a flap projecting in direction of the interior of this opening.
Les volets ainsi constitués sont recouverts par ladite portion de liaison en position de fermeture, ce qui assure une parfaite étanchéité au système d'ouverture/fermeture selon l'invention.The flaps thus formed are covered by said portion of connection in the closed position, which ensures a perfect seal opening / closing system according to the invention.
Ces volets ont de préférence une forme sensiblement hémi-circulaire.These shutters preferably have a shape which is substantially semicircular.
Le sac selon l'invention est, quant à lui équipé du système d'ouverture/fermeture tel que précité.The bag according to the invention is, in turn, equipped with the system opening / closing as mentioned above.
De préférence, ce sac comprend :
- deux parois réunies l'une à l'autre au niveau de leurs parties supérieures, le long d'une ligne de jonction, dont une comprend ladite ouverture le long de cette ligne de jonction et à proximité de celle-ci, et
- une poignée aménagée au niveau de ces parties supérieures, dans la zone médiane de ladite ligne de jonction.
- two walls joined to each other at their upper parts, along a junction line, one of which comprises said opening along this junction line and close to it, and
- a handle arranged at the level of these upper parts, in the median zone of said junction line.
Une traction exercée sur la poignée en vue de soulever le sac provoque un soulèvement de la zone médiane de ladite ligne de jonction par rapport aux zones extrémales de celle-ci, qui tend à rapprocher ces deux zones extrémales l'une de l'autre. Ce rapprochement tend à conférer une courbure concave au sac au-dessus de ladite ouverture et, corrélativement, une courbure convexe au sac au-dessous de cette ouverture. Ce simple soulèvement tend ainsi à former une goulotte d'écoulement du produit.Pulling on the handle to lift the bag causes an uplift of the middle area of said junction line with respect to the extreme zones thereof, which tends to bring these two extreme zones from each other. This rapprochement tends to confer a curvature concave to the bag above said opening and, correlatively, a convex curvature to the bag below this opening. This simple lifting thus tends to form a chute product flow.
La manipulation du sac en vue d'un renversement pour l'écoulement du produit est particulièrement simple à réaliser puisqu'il suffit, après que ladite découpe ait été effectuée, de saisir ladite poignée avec une main pour soulever le sac, de saisir le fond du sac avec l'autre main et de soulever ce fond jusqu'à faire glisser le produit dans la goulotte.Handling the bag for overturning to the flow of the product is particularly simple since enough, after said cutting has been carried out, to grasp said handle with one hand to lift the bag, grab the bottom of the bag with the other hand and raise the bottom until the product slides into the chute.
Avantageusement, les parois du sac réunies l'une à l'autre se prolongent au-dessus de ladite ligne de jonction de manière à former une bande à doubles parois, et cette bande comprend des ouvertures permettant d'aménager ladite poignée.Advantageously, the walls of the bag joined together are extend above said junction line so as to form a double wall strip, and this strip includes openings allowing to arrange said handle.
Cette poignée est ainsi réalisée de manière simple, facile et peu onéreuse, et est particulièrement solide, ce qui assure une totale sécurité quant à la résistance de cette poignée au cours du transport du sac.This handle is thus produced in a simple, easy and inexpensive manner. expensive, and is particularly solid, which ensures total security as for the resistance of this handle during transport of the bag.
De préférence, les parois du sac sont en matériau synthétique pouvant être soudé.Preferably, the walls of the bag are made of synthetic material can be welded.
Cette soudabilité permet l'obtention d'une parfaite étanchéité, qui élimine les problèmes de diffusion d'odeurs ainsi que les échanges fluidiques entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du sac, ou de pénétration d'insectes à l'intérieur du sac.This weldability makes it possible to obtain a perfect seal, which eliminates the problems of diffusion of odors as well as the exchanges fluidic between the inside and outside of the bag, or penetration insects inside the bag.
En outre, l'emploi d'un tel matériau permet l'obtention d'un sac ayant un aspect visuel amélioré, résultant en particulier d'une tendance réduite au froissement et d'un aspect brillant et lisse.In addition, the use of such a material allows obtaining a bag having an improved visual appearance, in particular resulting from a tendency reduced to wrinkling and a shiny and smooth appearance.
Ce matériau peut être formé par extrusion dite "bulle" avec une structure polyéthylène - EVOH - polyamide - polypropylène, et tout type de polyéthylène à moyenne, basse ou haute densité, et être complexé sur de l'aluminium, du polypropylène, du polyester, du polyester aluminisé, du papier, etc..This material can be formed by so-called "bubble" extrusion with a polyethylene structure - EVOH - polyamide - polypropylene, and all types of medium, low or high density polyethylene, and be complexed on aluminum, polypropylene, polyester, aluminized polyester, paper, etc.
Ce matériau s'avère présenter, de par sa structure, une parfaite étanchéité à l'égard des transferts fluidiques entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du sac.This material proves to have, by its structure, a perfect sealing against fluid transfers between inside and outside from the bag.
Les problèmes de diffusion d'odeurs et de captation d'humidité ou de dessiccation du produit le temps de l'exposition des sacs à la vente sont ainsi éliminés.The problems of diffusion of odors and capture of humidity or drying the product while the bags are on sale are thus eliminated.
Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention est à nouveau décrite
ci-dessous en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre
d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée du sac
d'emballage qu'elle concerne.
Les figures représentent un sac d'emballage 1, particulièrement destiné à l'emballage d'un produit relativement pesant, sous forme granulaire ou pulvérulente, tel que des croquettes pour l'alimentation des animaux.The figures represent a packaging bag 1, particularly intended for the packaging of a relatively heavy product, in the form granular or powdery, such as kibbles for feeding animals.
Le sac 1 présente deux parois principales 2 et deux parois
latérales 3 de plus faibles dimensions.The bag 1 has two
Ces parois 2, 3 sont en un matériau pouvant être thermosoudé.These
Les parois principales 2 sont réunies l'une à l'autre au niveau de
leurs parties supérieures, par thermosoudure, le long d'une ligne de
jonction 4, et chaque paroi 3 est reliée par thermosoudure à la paroi 2
adjacente, le long de lignes de jonction qui prolongent la ligne 4.The
Les parois 2 se prolongent au-dessus de la ligne 4 de manière à
former une bande 5 à doubles parois dans la partie médiane du sac 1.The
Les parois 2, 3 comprennent deux ouvertures 6 aménagées
dans la zone médiane de la bande 5, permettant d'aménager une poignée 7
de portage et de manipulation du sac 1.The
Deux pièces de matériau peuvent être rapportées sur la face
interne des parois 2 au niveau de ces ouvertures 6, afin de renforcer ces
parois au niveau de ces ouvertures. Two pieces of material can be attached to the face
La paroi 2 présente une prédécoupe délimitant une bande 9 en
dessous et le long de la ligne 4, et comporte un système de fermeture 10
fixé sur sa face interne en dessous de cette bande 9, ainsi que le montre la
figure 2.The
La bande 9 a des extrémités arrondies, qui sont découpées et
qui peuvent ainsi être soulevées et saisies pour permettre le retrait de cette
bande 9 par traction manuelle.The
Comme le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 4 à 6, le
système de fermeture 10 comprend une pièce de base 11 et un
coulisseau 12.As shown more particularly in FIGS. 4 to 6, the
La pièce de base 11 est en un matériau synthétique susceptible
d'être fixé à la paroi 2 notamment par thermosoudage. Elle présente une
forme allongée et des extrémités arrondies, et délimite une ouverture
centrale 15 en forme de fente.The
Sur l'une de ses faces, elle comprend deux éléments
longitudinaux profilés 20 formant des glissières, qui s'étendent le long des
bords de la pièce 11 délimitant longitudinalement l'ouverture 15,
jusqu'au-delà des extrémités de celle-ci.On one of its faces, it includes two elements
Chacun de ces éléments 20 peut avoir l'une des formes montrées à échelle agrandie sur les parties inférieures des figures 7 à 11, à savoir :
- deux parois longitudinales parallèles 21 pourvues de nervures extérieures 22, comme le montre la figure 7,
- deux parois longitudinales parallèles 21 pourvues de retours intérieurs 22 de différentes formes, comme le montrent les figures 8 à 11.
- two parallel
longitudinal walls 21 provided withexternal ribs 22, as shown in FIG. 7, - two parallel
longitudinal walls 21 provided withinternal returns 22 of different shapes, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 11.
Dans tous les cas, ces nervures et retours 22 sont conformés
pour permettre un encliquetage d'éléments 30 montrés sur les parties
supérieures des figures 7 à 11 dans les éléments 20 montrés sur les
parties inférieures des figures 7 à 11.In all cases, these ribs and returns 22 are shaped
to allow a snap of
Chacun des éléments 20 peut présenter une nervure médiane
23 formant une surface supplémentaire de glissement, ainsi que cela
apparaít sur la figure 8.Each of the
En référence de nouveau aux figures 4 à 6, il apparaít que la
pièce de base 11 présente, au niveau de l'une de ses extrémités, une fente
transversale 24 dimensionnée pour recevoir le coulisseau 12 à travers elle,
avec possibilité de coulissement. Referring again to Figures 4 to 6, it appears that the
En outre, les zones 11a de la pièce 11 qui délimitent les
extrémités de l'ouverture 15 forment des volets 25 hémi-circulaires.In addition, the zones 11a of the
Le coulisseau 12 comprend deux éléments longitudinaux profilés 30 dont chacun peut avoir l'une des formes montrées à échelle agrandie sur les parties supérieures des figures 7 à 11, à savoir :
- deux parois longitudinales parallèles 31 présentant des rainures intérieures 32 aptes à être engagées par encliquetage sur les nervures 22 de l'élément 20, comme le montre la figure 7, ou
- une ou deux parois 31 à nervures d'encliquetage extérieures 32 aptes à être engagées par encliquetage sur les retours 22 des éléments 20, comme montré sur les figures 8 à 11.
- two parallel
longitudinal walls 31 havinginternal grooves 32 able to be engaged by snap-fastening on theribs 22 of theelement 20, as shown in FIG. 7, or - one or two
walls 31 withexternal snap ribs 32 capable of being snapped onto thereturns 22 of theelements 20, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 11.
Cette ou ces parois 31 peuvent être reçues contre le fond que
forment les éléments 20 ou, ainsi que le montre la figure 8, sur la nervure
supplémentaire de glissement 23.This or these
En référence de nouveau aux figures 4 à 6, il apparaít que les
éléments 30 s'étendent parallèlement à l'un à l'autre et sont conformés et
positionnés de manière à venir en prise par encliquetage avec les éléments
20, cet encliquetage permettant le coulissement du coulisseau 12 par
rapport à la pièce de base 11.Referring again to Figures 4 to 6, it appears that the
Le coulisseau 12 présente une paroi médiane 33, reliant les
éléments 30 l'un à l'autre, et comprend deux parties arrondies 34, 35
reliées à ses extrémités, ayant une largeur supérieure à la sienne. Ces
parties arrondies 34, 35 forment des pattes de traction qui peuvent être
saisies par le consommateur et qui facilitent le déplacement du
coulisseau 12.The
L'une de ces pattes 34 est séparée du coulisseau 12 par deux
fentes transversales, qui délimitent une portion 36 de liaison de la patte 34
au coulisseau 12, cette portion de liaison 36 ayant une largeur inférieure à
la largeur de l'ouverture 15.One of these
L'autre patte 35 est attenante au coulisseau 12 et forme deux
rebords transversaux 37 propres à venir en appui contre les zones 11b de
la pièce 11 qui délimitent l'ouverture 24.The
Le coulisseau 12 comporte en outre une pièce transversale 38
fixée à lui à proximité des fentes séparant le coulisseau 12 de la patte 34.
Cette pièce 38 dépasse de part et d'autre du coulisseau 12 et peut venir
en appui contre les zones 11b de la pièce 11. The
Ainsi que cela se comprend par comparaison des figures 5, 6 et
4, le coulisseau 12 est destiné à être engagé au travers de la fente 24 de
telle sorte que les éléments 30 puissent venir en prise avec les éléments
20 par encliquetage des nervures ou rainures 32 derrière les retours ou
nervures 22.As can be understood by comparing Figures 5, 6 and
4, the
La patte 34 est engagée au travers de la fente 15 et s'étend
donc du côté de la pièce 11 opposé à celui sur lequel se trouve le
coulisseau 12, ladite portion de liaison 36 s'étendant au travers de
l'ouverture 15.The
Les portions de la pièce 38 débordant de part et d'autre du
coulisseau 12 prennent appui contre la pièce 11.The portions of the
Comme cela se comprend en référence à la figure 6, le
coulisseau 12 peut être déplacé par rapport à la pièce 11 entre une
position de complète occultation de l'ouverture 15 et une position de
complète libération de cette ouverture 15. Dans la position de complète
occultation, la portion de liaison 36 vient porter contre le volet 25, ce qui
assure une fermeture de l'ouverture 15 avec une bonne étanchéité, et les
rebords 37 viennent porter contre lesdites zones 11b, limitant ainsi
nettement la course de déplacement du coulisseau 12. Dans la position de
complète libération de l'ouverture 15, les portions de la pièce 38 débordant
de part et d'autre du coulisseau 12 viennent porter contre les zones 11b
de la pièce 11, limitant également la course de déplacement du coulisseau
12.As can be understood with reference to FIG. 6, the
En pratique, comme cela apparaít en référence à la figure 1, la
bande 9 est arrachée de manière à permettre l'accès au système 10 et à
libérer le coulissement de la patte 34, et donc du coulisseau 12.In practice, as appears with reference to Figure 1, the
La patte 35 est saisie par le consommateur et est déplacée
dans le sens de l'ouverture du sac 1.
La poignée 7 est ensuite saisie, ce qui provoque un
soulèvement de la zone médiane de la ligne 4 par rapport aux zones
extrémales de celle-ci, et tend à rapprocher ces deux zones extrémales
l'une de l'autre. Ce rapprochement tend à conférer une courbure concave à
la partie supérieure du sac 1 et corrélativement une courbure convexe à la
partie de la paroi 2 située en dessous du système 10, comme le montre la
figure 3. Ce soulèvement permet ainsi de former une goulotte 40
d'écoulement du produit. The handle 7 is then grasped, which causes a
line 4 midline uplift from zones
extremes thereof, and tends to bring these two extreme zones closer together
one from the other. This approximation tends to give a concave curvature to
the upper part of the bag 1 and correspondingly a convex curvature to the
part of the
La manipulation du sac 1 en vue d'un renversement pour
l'écoulement du produit est particulièrement simple à réaliser puisqu'il
suffit de saisir ladite poignée 7 avec une main pour soulever le sac, de
saisir le fond du sac avec l'autre main et de soulever ce fond jusqu'à faire
glisser le produit dans la goulotte 40.Handling the bag 1 with a view to overturning
the flow of the product is particularly simple since
just grasp said handle 7 with one hand to lift the bag,
grab the bottom of the bag with the other hand and lift the bottom until
slide the product into the
Après versage, la fermeture du sac 1 est réalisée simplement en
saisissant la patte 34 et en déplaçant le coulisseau 12 jusqu'à occultation
de l'ouverture 15.After pouring, the bag 1 is closed simply by
grabbing
Ainsi qu'il apparaít de ce qui précède, l'invention fournit un système d'ouverture/fermeture de sac d'emballage facile à manipuler, permettant une ouverture facile et rapide à réaliser, ayant une bonne étanchéité, ne s'encrassant pas lorsque le produit contenu dans le sac génère des poussières, et étant suffisamment résistant pour pouvoir être utilisé sur des sacs d'emballage contenant des produits relativement pesants.As appears from the above, the invention provides a easy to handle packaging bag opening / closing system, allowing easy and quick opening, having good tightness, not clogging when the product contained in the bag generates dust, and being strong enough to be used on packaging bags containing relatively small products heavy.
L'invention fournit également un sac d'emballage dont la manipulation est notablement améliorée et dont l'étanchéité est parfaite notamment à l'égard des odeurs et de l'humidité.The invention also provides a packaging bag, the handling is significantly improved and the seal is perfect especially with regard to odors and humidity.
Il va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple mais qu'elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes de réalisation. Ainsi, le sac peut être du type à arêtes de soufflets soudés, comme représenté sur les figures, ou peut être du type à fond carré ou à soufflet de fond, ou peut encore être dépourvu de soufflets.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the form of realization described above by way of example but that it embraces otherwise all variants. So the bag can be of the type with welded bellows edges, as shown in the figures, or may be of the square bottom or bottom gusset type, or may still be without bellows.
