Abstract

A vending pack has a simple construction with a paper backing sheet of selected size onto which is bonded a cover sheet of any selected material, e.g. a transparent cover. The cover sheet is bonded to the backing sheet along three sides, leaving the fourth side for filling and access. Labelling is printed directly onto either sheet. The packs can be made in a continuous process using continuous feed sheet material.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Beutel zum Transportieren bzw. Aufbewahren von Gegenständen, insbesondere Lebensmitttelnwobei der Beutel aus einer auf das Grundmaß des Beutels zugeschnittenen Papierbahn besteht, welche die erste Beutelseite bildet, und daß auf dieser ersten Beutelseite die zweite Beutelseite durch Kleben befestigt istThe invention relates to a bag for transporting or storing objects, in particular food items, wherein the bag consists of a cut to the basic size of the bag paper web, which forms the first side of the bag, and that on this first side of the bag, the second bag side is fixed by gluing

Derartige Beutel sind beispielsweise aus der WO 03/037734 A1 bekannt, in der eine Verpackung beschrieben wird, die an Verkaufsständen aufgehängt werden kann.Such bags are for example from the WO 03/037734 A1 known in which a package is described, which can be hung at stalls.

Weiterhin sind Beutel zum Transportieren bzw. Aufbewahren von Gegenständen, inbesondere Lebensmitteln, bekannt. Sie dienen zum Verpacken insbesondere von Fleisch- und Wurstwaren sowie von Back- und Konditorwaren. Derartige Beutel werden aus einer zu einem Schlauch gebogenen Papierbahn mit seitlichen Falzen gefertigt, die an der Verbindungsstelle längs verklebt, geschnitten und am unteren Ende umgefalzt und ebenfalls verklebt wird.Furthermore, bags for transporting or storing objects, in particular food, are known. They are used for packaging, in particular, meat and sausage products as well as baked goods and confectionery. Such bags are made of a bent to a tube paper web with lateral folds, which is glued longitudinally at the junction, cut and folded at the bottom and also glued.

Allerdings sind die Möglichkeiten derartiger Beutel begrenzt. Zum einen ist es nicht möglich, einen Teil des Beutels transparent auszubilden, so daß der darin enthaltene Gegenstand erkennbar ist, was beispielsweise bei unterschiedlichen Sandwiches das Erkennen der verschiedenen Sorten erleichtert. Zum anderen ist es nicht möglich, sehr große Beutel, beispielsweise zum Transport mehrerer französischer Stangenweißbrote, anzufertigen, da es keine Maschinen gibt, mit denen eine Papierbahn entsprechend großer Breite zu einem Schlauch geformt werden kann.However, the possibilities of such bags are limited. Firstly, it is not possible to form a part of the bag transparent, so that the object contained therein is recognizable, which facilitates, for example, in different sandwiches, the recognition of the different varieties. On the other hand, it is not possible to make very large bags, for example for the transport of several French bars of white bread, since there are no machines with which a paper web of correspondingly large width can be formed into a tube.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es somit, eine neue Art von Beuteln zu schaffen, die zumindest eines der oben genannten Probleme lösen und preisgünstig in großen Mengen herstellbar sind.The object of the invention is thus to provide a new type of bags that solve at least one of the above problems and are inexpensive to produce in large quantities.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die zweite Beutelseite aus transparentem Material besteht, wobei die erste Beutelseite an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten umgefalzt ist, daß die zweite Beutelseite auf die Falze geklebt ist und daß an einer der verbleibenden Seiten die erste Beutelseite über die zweite Beutelseite gefalzt ist.This object is achieved in that the second side of the bag made of transparent material, wherein the first side of the bag on two opposite sides folded over, that the second side of the bag is glued to the folds and that on one of the remaining sides, the first side of the bag is folded over the second side of the bag.

Durch diese neue Art der Beutelfertigung werden neue Möglichkeiten eröffnet: Zum einen können Beutel gefertigt werden, deren Beutelseiten aus verschiedenen Materialien (z.B. Papier und transparenter Kunststoff) bestehen und zum anderen können mit herkömmlichen Maschinen größere Beutel als bisher gefertigt werden. Beide Vorteile können kombiniert werden, so daß aufgrund der vorliegenden Erfindung nunmehr auch größere Beutel als die bekannten mit Beutelseiten aus verschiedenen Materialien herstellbar sind.This new method of bag production opens up new possibilities: on the one hand, pouches can be made whose bag sides are made of different materials (for example, paper and transparent plastic) and, on the other, larger bags can be produced with conventional machines. Both advantages can be combined, so that now larger bags than the known with bag sides of different materials can be produced due to the present invention.

Diese Art der Beutelfertigung ist vor allem für sehr große Beutel von Bedeutung, wie sie für mehrere französische Stangenweißbrote verwendet werden (beispielsweise vom Format 40 x 85 cm), da durch die drei Falze eine große Stabilität des Beutels erreicht wird. Die aufgeklebte zweite Beutelseite wird somit nur geringfügig belastet.This type of bag production is particularly important for very large bags, such as those used for several French bar white breads (for example, 40 x 85 cm format), since the three creases provide great bag stability. The glued second side of the bag is thus charged only slightly.

Durch die Transparenz der zweiten Beutelseite wird es möglich, den Beutelinhalt auch im verpackten Zustand zu erkennen, so daß beispielsweise ein Abpacken der Ware im voraus ermöglicht wird. Es können z.B. bereits in Beutel verpackte Sandwiches mit unterschiedlichen Füllungen durch den Kunden voneinander unterschieden werden, was zum einen hygienischer ist (das Befüllen kann unabhängig von dem Kassiervorgang erfolgen) und zum anderen einen Zeitgewinn beim Verkaufen in Stoßzeiten mit sich bringt.Due to the transparency of the second side of the bag, it is possible to recognize the bag contents even in the packaged state, so that, for example, a packaging of the goods is made possible in advance. For example, sandwiches already packed in bags with different fillings can be distinguished from one another by the customer, which on the one hand is more hygienic (the filling can take place independently of the cashier process) and on the other hand brings a saving in time when selling at peak times.

Eine erste Ausführungsform der Erfindung besteht darin, daß die zweite Beutelseite aus Kunststoff besteht.A first embodiment of the invention is that the second bag side is made of plastic.

Hierbei ist es zweckmäßig, daß die zweite Beutelseite mit drei Längsnähten an der ersten Beutelseite befestigt ist.It is expedient that the second side of the bag is fastened with three longitudinal seams on the first side of the bag.

Über die vierte offene Seite wird der Beutel befüllt.About the fourth open side of the bag is filled.

Weiterhin ist es sinnvoll, daß die zweite Beutelseite mit einem Heißschmelzkleber an der ersten Beutelseite befestigt ist.Furthermore, it makes sense that the second side of the bag is attached to the first side of the bag with a hot melt adhesive.

Heißschmelzkleber ermöglichen das Verkleben unterschiedlicher Materialien miteinander und sind zudem in lebensmittelechter Qualität erhältlich.Hot melt adhesives allow the bonding of different materials together and are also available in food grade quality.

Erfindungsgemäß ist ebenfalls vorgesehen, daß die erste Beutelseite auf einer Seite, vorzugsweise auf ihrer der zweiten Beutelseite zugewandten Seite, bedruckt ist.According to the invention, it is likewise provided that the first side of the bag is printed on one side, preferably on its side facing the second side of the bag.

Durch die transparente Beutelseite wird der Aufdruck nach Entnahme des Inhalts aus dem Beutel sichtbar und kann in einem Sachbezug zu dem Inhalt stehen.Through the transparent side of the bag, the print is visible after removal of the contents of the bag and can be in a non-material relation to the content.

Hierbei ist es vorteilhaft, daß die bedruckte Seite zur Versiegelung des Aufdrucks mit einer Beschichtung versehen ist.It is advantageous that the printed side is provided for sealing the imprint with a coating.

Die Beschichtung verhindert den direkten Kontakt zwischen dem Inhalt des Beutels und dem Aufdruck.The coating prevents direct contact between the contents of the bag and the print.

Nachfolgend werden Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung anhand von Zeichnungen beschrieben.Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to drawings.

ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel eines großen Beutels mit drei Falzen in Draufsicht und in geschnittener Darstellung.
Show it
Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b
A first embodiment of a bag with a transparent bag side in plan view and in side view,
Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b
a second embodiment of a large bag with three folds in plan view and in a sectional view.

Wie aus den Fig. 1a und 1b ersichtlich, besteht der erfindungsgemäße Beutel aus einer ersten Beutelseite 1, die im vorliegenden Beispiel aus Papier besteht, und einer zweiten Beutelseite 2, welche hier aus transparentem Kunststoff besteht. Die zweite Beutelseite 2 ist mit drei Längsnähten 3 aus Heißschmelzkleber (hotmelt) mit der ersten Beutelseite 1 verbunden. Auf der ersten Beutelseite 1 ist - auf der der zweiten Beutelseite 2 zugewandten Seite - ein Aufdruck 4 aufgebracht, der durch eine Beschichtung von dem Beutelinhalt getrennt ist und durch die transparente zweite Bcutelseite 2 hindurch lesbar ist. Bei Entnahme des Inhalts aus dem Beutel wird der Aufdruck 4 sichtbar.Like from the Fig. 1a and 1b As can be seen, the bag according to the invention consists of a first side of the bag 1, which in the present example is made of paper, and a second side of the bag 2, which here consists of transparent plastic. The second bag side 2 is connected to the first bag side 1 with three longitudinal seams 3 made of hot melt adhesive (hotmelt). On the first side of the bag 1, on the side facing the second side 2 of the bag, there is applied an imprint 4 which is separated from the contents of the bag by a coating and can be read through the transparent second side of the bag 2. When removing the contents from the bag, the imprint 4 becomes visible.

Die Fig. 2a und 2b zeigen einen Großbeutel vom Format 85 x 40 cm. Dieser wird aus einer ersten Beutelseite 1 gebildet, die an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten umgefalzt wird. Auf die Falze 5 wird eine zweite (kleinere) Beutelseite 2 aufgeklebt. Anschließend wird an einer der verbleibenden Seiten ein weiterer Falz 5 um die zweite Beutelseite 2 gelegt und auf dieser verklebt. Es entsteht so ein sehr großer Beutel, der dennoch auf Maschinen von herkömmlicher Größe aus Papierbahnen in großen Mengen und somit wirtschaftlich gefertigt werden kann. Auch hier kann die zweite Beutelseite 2 aus transparentem Material bestehen, so daß der Beutelinhalt sichtbar ist.The Fig. 2a and 2b show a large bag of the format 85 x 40 cm. This is formed from a first bag side 1, which is folded over on two opposite sides. On the folds 5, a second (smaller) bag side 2 is glued. Subsequently, another fold 5 is placed on the remaining sides of the second side of the bag 2 and glued to this. The result is a very large bag, which can still be made on machines of conventional size from paper webs in large quantities and thus economically. Again, the second side of the bag 2 made of transparent material, so that the bag contents is visible.
