Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of sachets or sheets equipped with closure or attachment assemblies.
  • closure assemblies are known composed of two support webs which respectively carry complementary male / female elements opposite at the mouth of the bag.
  • functionally equivalent closure assemblies comprising hooks on sails intended to be positioned opposite the level of the mouth of the bag.
  • closure or fastening assemblies made of polyolefins, mainly polyethylene and polypropylene.
  • polyolefins mainly polyethylene and polypropylene.
  • these sets after extrusion, and before fixing on films intended to compose the bags or sheets, are generally wound on circular coils, for storage purposes.
  • the polymers thus used have an elastic memory of their transformation conditions and recrystallize over time through different phases and under different types of crystallites.
  • the present invention aims to improve the situation.
  • the present invention proposes a closure or attachment assembly intended to equip the mouth of a packaging bag or a sheet, said closure or fastening assembly comprising at least one support veil which carries a closure or hooking element, characterized in that it comprises sequential cuts covering a part of the width of the support web, on the outside of the closure or fastening element, distributed over the length of the together, to eliminate the effects of warping, curvature or pitching of the assembly.
  • the aforementioned sequential cutouts open on a slice of the support webs of said sets, that is to say on the thin edge thereof.
  • the sequential cuts may be made on an intermediate zone of the support webs of said assemblies, ie between the two lateral edges thereof, without opening onto these slices.
  • the sequential cuts are carried out at the pitch of the bags.
  • the sequential cuts can be made with a pitch that is very different from that of the bags if the means for fixing the assemblies on the films forming the said sachets make it possible to guarantee good contact between the said sets and the said films, including in the vicinity of these cuts.
  • the present invention also relates to sachets and sheets obtained using the aforementioned closing and fastening assemblies,
  • a closure assembly 10 or hooking may equip the mouth of a packaging bag or sheets and formed of two sections 12, 14, complementary provided for example male elements / complementary female 122, 142 or complementary hooks 124, 144 carried by support webs 120, 140.
  • the two profiles 12, 14 are each provided with cutouts 13, 15, in the webs 120, 140, on the outside of the fastening elements 124, 144.
  • These cutouts 13, 15 may be formed in steps p bags.
  • the distance p separating two cuts 13 or 15 on the profiles 12, 14 is in this case equal to the width of the mouth of the bags on which the profiles are intended to be fixed.
  • the sequential cuts 13, 15 can be made with a pitch very different from that of the bags if the means for attaching the profiles to the films forming said bags make it possible to ensure good contact between said profiles 12, 14 and said films, including in the vicinity of these cuts, ie if the fastening means prevent a detachment of the profiles 12, 14, at this level.
  • the cutouts 13, 15 have a rectangular contour. However this provision is not imperative.
  • the cutouts 13, 15 all open on the same slice of sections 12, 14. They extend between this slice and an area adjacent to the fastening elements 124, 144, without extending below them.
  • the cuts 13, 15 have a width greater than their height h.
  • This slider 20 comprises a sole 22 provided with two lateral flanks 24, 26 and a central wall 28.
  • the wall 28 and the lateral flanks 24, 26 define between them two channels 27, 29, nonparallel.
  • the channels 27, 29 converge towards an axial end of the slider.
  • the channels 27, 29 are intended to receive respectively one of the profiles 12, 14.
  • closure profiles 12, 14 concerning the present invention, equipped with cutouts 13, 15 and, where appropriate, with a slider 20 can be associated with any type of film capable of producing a packaging bag or sheets, in particular but not exclusively plastic films or even composites.
  • attachment of the closure or fastening sections 13, 15 to these films can be achieved by any appropriate means, preferably by thermal welding.
  • the height h of the cuts 13, 15 is preferably between 1/3 and 1/10 th of the height h0 of the closure profiles 13, 15.
  • the cutouts 13, 15 are oriented perpendicularly to the edges 30, 32 of the closure profiles.
  • the cutouts 13, 15 open on an edge 30 of the closure profiles.
  • the oblique arrangement of the cutouts illustrated on the figure 9 is also applicable in the case where, as previously indicated, the cut-outs do not open on one edge of the closure profiles but extend between them (as illustrated schematically on the figure 8 ).
  • the oblique cutouts 13, 15 illustrated on FIG. figure 9 are inclined at an angle ⁇ of the order of 30 to 60 ° relative to the edge 30 of the profiles.
  • closure profiles illustrated on the figure 9 are adapted to be moved in the direction illustrated by the arrow referenced D on the figure 9 such that a guide or fixed support relative to which the closure profiles are thus moved first sees the end 130 of the cutouts 13, 15 located inwardly of the closure profiles and lastly, the free edge 132 of the cutouts which opens on the wafer 30.
  • the closure profiles do not have acute leading edge but only obtuse angles facing said guide or support, which avoids any risk of snagging between the closure profiles and guides or associated media.
  • the oblique arrangement of the cutouts illustrated on the figure 9 is thus particularly advantageous when the closure profiles are moved in a guide for their attachment to the films for making the bag.
  • the cutouts 13, 15 have parallel edges, where appropriate without removal of material as mentioned above.
  • the cutouts 13, 15 have edges 134, 135, 154, 155 not parallel to each other.
  • the cut-outs 13, 15 form dihedrams whose concavity is directed and open towards the edge 30 of a closure profile.
  • cuts 13, 15 symmetrical with respect to a plane orthogonal to the edge 30.
  • the cuts 13, 15 may indeed be asymmetrical with respect to such an orthogonal plane edge 30.
