Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bag with handles usable particularly for horticultural and fruit products, affording notable characteristics of novelty and inventive step with respect to those of the prior art.
  • the bag with handles of the present invention is especially applicable to mesh bags which are intended to hold items of fruit or other horticultural or fruit products and which have, in their upper portions and in their lower portions, respective semi-rigid regions formed by bands or plates which are preferably attached by welding and which close the bag and also allow for the writing of advertizing information or information relating to the type of material contained in the bags, or the like.
  • the arrangement of proper handles on the upper edge of the bag is a feature which is advantageous for a sector of the public; this feature facilitates handling of the bag and can also positively increase its value from the qualitative point of view.
  • the handle in the upper portion of the bag represents a complication in manufacture and an increase in cost.
  • the handle in a currently known type, is constituted by a single strip of laminar material which is secured by its ends in the inside of the mouth of the bag during the welding of the edges of the bag or their securing by another method.
  • this type of handle has the disadvantage that it necessarily forms a twisted central region in which the central portion of the strip is disposed in a plane substantially parallel to the bag, that is, with the strip arranged substantially on edge, which makes manipulation of the handle difficult since the contact region of the user's hand grasping the bag handle receives a rather unpleasant, possibly even painful pressure produced by the bag handle, especially depending on the weight contained therein.
  • the present invention is intended to solve the problems mentioned by providing a bag with a handle, for horticultural and fruit products, in which the handle is arranged with its upper manual grasping portion in a flat position in the area level with the area of contact with the hand, which considerably increases the contact area and reduces the unitary pressure, making handling easy and convenient;
  • the handle can be fitted on bags of the type which comprises a mesh body constituting the bag of which the lower end is secured by means of a narrow transverse welded band and the upper end has opposed laminar elements secured to the edges of the bag and constituting the mouth through which the bag is filled, including the type which comprises a mesh body constituting the bag of which the upper and lower ends are welded between two laminar plastics bands which extend from the upper end to the lower end of the mesh which is interposed between the two bands, the bag having a handle formed by a single laminar element in the form of a narrow strip.
  • the bag has, in its semi-rigid mouth portion, a laminar element in the form of a single band or strip which is fitted at its ends on the lateral ends of the semi-rigid closure region of the bag and which has a structure that may be, for example, U-shaped, clasping the front and rear faces and the upper closure region of the bag, the handle being welded to the above-mentioned semi-rigid laminar closure region of the bag by the U-shaped regions themselves, achieving the desired effect.
  • a laminar element in the form of a single band or strip which is fitted at its ends on the lateral ends of the semi-rigid closure region of the bag and which has a structure that may be, for example, U-shaped, clasping the front and rear faces and the upper closure region of the bag, the handle being welded to the above-mentioned semi-rigid laminar closure region of the bag by the U-shaped regions themselves, achieving the desired effect.
  • the single laminar strip itself has, at its ends, respective short, centred, longitudinal incisions enabling the two branches which the incision forms to be fitted on one and the other of the front and rear sides of the semi-rigid closure region of the bag, respectively.
  • the ends of the laminar element which constitutes the handle which are in the form of two branches, are attached to the inner faces of the upper closure elements of the bag, that is, to the inner portion of the mouth, in a manner such that, at each of the ends of the handle, one of the branches is secured to one of the sides and the other to the opposite side.
  • the handle is thus formed in a manner such that its upper grasping portion has its flat side facing the user's hand.
  • another variant may be constituted by a single strip of material which is secured, at one end, to the outer face of the semi-rigid laminar closure element of the bag and, at the other end, is secured on the other face or rear face of the laminar closure element of the bag by the opposite face of the laminar band itself.
  • the bag may correspond to the type which has a mesh body with a narrow welded lower band and an upper, semi-rigid laminar element normally formed by two pieces welded together, or may also have laminar extensions in the upper portion to provide a larger area for the printing of advertizing designs, etc.
  • a conventional bag 1, Figure 1 has an upper closure element 2 with a handle 3 constituted basically by a single laminar element the ends 4 and 5 of which are secured between the individual laminar elements which constitute the closure 2, and are clasped and welded in the inside of the mouth of the closure element 2.
  • the attachment is performed by the same welding operation that closes the bag.
  • the upper portion 6 of the handle 3 is necessarily arranged substantially edgewise relative to the hand which will grasp the handle 3, so that handling of the bag is inconvenient.
  • FIG. 2 shows a mesh bag 7 according to the present invention which has a handle 8 in the form of a single laminar strip the ends 9 and 10 of which are U-shaped transversely and overlap the front face 11 and the rear face 12 of the upper laminar closure element of the bag 7.
  • the handle is secured during the same welding operation which closes the bag so that the upper portion 13 of the handle is arranged in a transverse plane, practically perpendicular to the upper closure element of the bag constituted by the faces 11 and 12.
  • the user's hand will thus receive the flat region 13, facilitating convenient handling of the bag.
  • the bag is closed at the bottom by means of a narrow band 14 welded to the lower ends of the bag 7.
  • the present invention also comprises an alternative version in which the bag 15, which also has a lower closure band 16, has a laminar element 17 constituting the handle, the ends of which have a short longitudinal incision defining two opposed branches, as indicated 18 and 18' at one end and 19, 19' at the other end.
  • the branches are secured to the front face 20 and to the rear face 21 of the laminar closure element of the bag, respectively.
  • the upper portion 22 is again arranged in a plane perpendicular to the bag, that is, transversely relative thereto, achieving the same effect as the bag of Figure 2, that is, having a wide and comfortable region to be handled in the user's hand.
  • a bag 23 which, as in the previous embodiments, is provided with a lower closure band 24 and with two, opposed, upper closure elements 25 and 26 between which the ends of the single laminar strip 27 which constitutes the handle of the bag are introduced; as in the embodiment of the bag of Figure 5, the ends of the strip are also provided with short longitudinal incisions defining respective branches which are attached to the inner faces of the elements 25 and 26, respectively, in respective opposed positions.
  • the upper portion 28 of the handle 27 again presents a wide and easily grasped region to the user's hand.
  • Figure 11 shows another version in which the bag 29, which is provided with a lower closure band 30 and opposed laminar closure elements 31 and 32, has a handle 33, again in the form of a single strip, which is attached at one of its ends, indicated 34, to the outer face of the laminar element 31 whereas, at the other end, indicated 35, it is fitted on the outer face of the laminar element 32 so that the faces that are attached to the elements 31 and 32 correspond to distinct faces of the laminar element 33.
  • the upper portion 36 of the handle again presents its wider side to the user's hand, facilitating grasping thereof.
  • the bag of the present invention may adopt the general structure shown in Figures 2 to 11, or may have laminar bands on one or on both faces, such as the band 37 shown in Figure 14, which is attached to the lower transverse band 38 and to the upper closure element or elements of the bag 39, respectively, the bag being able to receive handles 40, 41 or 42 corresponding, respectively, to the version with the U-shaped end, to the version with the end provided with a longitudinal incision, and to the version with the straight end, as in the drawings indicated and described above.
  • the bag of the present invention may also be formed with a lower transverse band 43 and upper flat laminar closure elements 44 which will form the mouth of the bag and to which the three basic versions of the elements constituting the handle, indicated 45, 46 and 47, will be secured.
  • the essential characteristic of the bag of the present invention is that the handle is produced as a single laminar element in the form of a straight strip, but is secured by its ends to the laminar elements for closing the mouth of the bag in a manner such that the upper portion is included substantially in a plane perpendicular to that of the laminar closure elements of the bag, the strip which forms the handle being in a flat arrangement for its contact with the user's hand, facilitating the handling of the bag.
