Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stand-up pouch made of a heat-sealable or weldable plastic film for receiving liquid or pasty material with two side walls and a pouring element, which can be brought from a basic position into an upturned pouring position.
  • Such a bag is already out of the DE-A-199 57 563 known.
  • the known bag also has two side walls and a bottom and a ceiling part, wherein between the ceiling part and side wall a pouring element is inserted.
  • the pouring element can be tilted forward to pour out the contents and has means for stabilizing and holding the closure element in the forward tilted-over position. From the folded position, liquid can be safely and easily poured out through the closure element, even with very full bags, without the bag having to be greatly inclined.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a stand-up pouch which is improved with regard to handling and to prevent inadvertent discharge of liquid from the opened stand-up pouch.
  • this object is achieved by a sealing film which is fixed between the side walls on the spout and protrudes into the bag interior, that it rests in the basic position of the spout on a side wall and thus closes the inlet to the spout and in an overturned pouring of the spout from the Sidewall protrudes and releases the inlet to the pouring element. Due to the fact that the closing foil in the basic position, for example the upright position, of the pouring element rests against a side wall and thus closes the feed to the pouring element, for example, when a stand-up pouch is opened and firmly enclosed by a hand, no more liquid can flow inside the pouch pushed up and spilled by the pouring element.
  • the sealing film in the upper region corresponds at least to the width of the pouring element, so that the feed to the pouring element can be closed well by the sealing film.
  • the material of the closure film preferably corresponds to the material of the inner film of the multilayer plastic film. This has the advantage that the sealing film fits better against the side wall. Due to the fact that the sealing film protrudes into the bag interior, i. may also come into contact with the contents should it have the same characteristics as e.g. Temperature resistance, food compatibility etc. have as the inner foil of the bag ..
  • the sealing film is a monofilm of polyethylene and has a thickness in a range of 150 microns to 300 microns, preferably about 200 microns.
  • the sealing film has at least one surface-treated roughened surface, e.g. was subjected to a corona treatment. Such a treated surface is even closer to the side wall.
  • the two side walls are connected to each other at their longitudinal edges, wherein at the lower pouch end between the lower transverse edges a foldable, lying between the side walls, serving as a floor standing bottom part is located at the upper pouch end between the side walls a foldable ceiling part , And between a first side wall and the cover part, the pouring element is inserted.
  • the length of the first side wall may be greater than the length of the second side wall, so that the pouring element comes to rest above the lower transverse edge of the second side wall.
  • the sealing film between the pouring element and the ceiling part is welded.
  • the closure film may further be welded between the ceiling part and the first side wall, preferably along the outer sealing seams. This has the advantage that the sealing film can be easily inserted and welded without further process steps during welding of the ceiling part and the first side wall.
  • the sealing film is rounded in the lower region.
  • the sealing film can create very good and close to the corresponding side wall.
  • the stand-up pouch according to the invention comprises a first side wall 2, a further side wall 3, serving as a floor standing bottom part 10 and a ceiling part 11.
  • the bottom and top part comes to lie in the connected state of the bag within the contour of the side walls. These parts then fold when filling the container accordingly.
  • a ceiling partilla 15 is formed here.
  • the heights of the side walls 2, 3 are the same in this embodiment, however, the height of the side wall 3 may be smaller than the height of the side wall 2, the side wall flap 14 is formed in one piece with the side wall 2.
  • the stand-up pouch further has a closure film 25 and a pouring element 20.
  • the pouring element 20 can be closed, for example via a screw cap, not shown.
  • the bag can thus easily be closed again if it has not been completely emptied after use.
  • the individual parts are connected together to create the bag.
  • the longitudinal edges 4 and 5 of the side wall 3 are sealed with the longitudinal edges 6 and 7 of the side wall 2 along the dashed lines shown areas.
  • the bottom part 10 is welded across the hatched four corner regions 10a, b, c) with the four corner regions 3c, 2a, 2b of the side walls 2 and 3, for example in the manner of a triangle and at the corresponding hatched transverse edges.
  • the ceiling part is via sealing seams 30 which extend from both ends of the longitudinal edges 4, 7 obliquely to the discharge opening 12, in which the pouring element 20 is inserted, or obliquely to the transverse edge 31 of the second side wall 3 with the respective side wall 3, 2 connected.
  • the oblique edges 30a of the side wall 3 are sealed with the oblique edges of the ceiling part 30b and the upper transverse edge 22 of the ceiling part 11th is welded to the upper transverse edge 31 of the side wall.
  • the ceiling part 11 may also be formed integrally with the second side wall 3.
  • the oblique edges 30c of the top part 11 are welded to the oblique edges 30d of the first side wall 2 and the intermediate edge 25a of the closure film 25 and thus form the outer sealing seam 30. Between the tab 15 of the top part 11 of the closure film 25 formed in the tab 33 and the tab 14 of the first side wall 2, the closure element 20 is sealed.
  • the side walls 2 and 3 are provided with spaced apart outwardly directed longitudinal tabs 21 which cause the filled bag, taken in plan view taken along the line V-V of Figure 2, to assume a shape as shown in Figure 5.
  • the bag here in a region below the pouring element has a device for stabilizing and holding the pouring element in the tilted pouring position, here in the form of an embossment 40.
  • the embossment 40 is not urgently necessary for the present invention, since the sealing foil also stabilizes the position of the pouring element in the tilted pouring position. In FIGS. 2 and 6, this embossment is not shown.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show, respectively, the longitudinally-cut shapes of the stand-up pouch.
  • the closure film 25 is aligned essentially parallel to the side walls 2 and 3.
  • the sealing film 25 is welded along the oblique side edges 25a and the longitudinal edges of the flap 33 of the sealing film 25 between the respective oblique edges 30c and 30d of the top part and the first side wall 2 and the respective longitudinal edges of the flaps 15 and 14. This is advantageous because no separate process step for inserting the sealing film 25 is necessary.
  • the longitudinal edges 25b of the sealing film 25 are not welded to the bag in this embodiment, but can also be welded between the longitudinal edges 4 and 6 of the side walls.
  • closure film 25 is connected to the pouring element 20, it can follow the tilting movement of the pouring element 20 so that the lower transverse edge 25c moves away from the first side wall 2 at least in the middle region in the direction of the arrow R, if the Pouring element 20 is moved forward in an overturned pouring position.
  • the sealing film 25 is spaced further from the second side wall 3 than from the first side wall 2.
  • the sealing film 25 projects with its lower transverse edge 25c at least 20% and preferably at least 35% of the bag height into the bag interior, the bag height being considered as the distance between the lower bag edge 8, 9 and the upper edge 16 of the pouring element.
  • the sealing film projects at least 8 cm into the interior of the bag.
  • Figure 6a is the pouring element 20, in which here a cap is screwed in the basic position, here in a substantially upright position.
  • the basic position is understood to be the position of the pouring element 20 in which no filling material is to be poured out of the stand-up pouch and in which e.g. the longitudinal axis L of the pouring element extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis I of the bag 1.
  • a basic position can also be understood to mean a position in which the longitudinal axis I of the pouring element 20 is aligned at a small angle, for example ⁇ 45 ° to the longitudinal axis I of the bag 1, to the side walls 2, 3.
  • the closure film 25 projects into the interior of the bag in the basic position.
  • the liquid would not escape through the inlet Z, but the pressure would rather push the sealing film 25 in the direction of the side wall 2 , Even if the entire bag 1 for removal of the filling material in the direction of the arrow D would be tilted down, so no liquid would escape, and in contrast, the sealing film 25 would be pressed by the contents even closer to the side wall 2.
  • the pouring element 20 is then tilted into a pouring position in the direction of arrow D, as shown in Figure 6b, wherein the longitudinal axis I of the pouring element 20 at an angle of about 70 to 100 °, preferably 90 °, to the longitudinal axis I of the bag in the direction is inclined to the first side wall 2, the sealing film 25 moves simultaneously in the direction of the arrow R, ie away from the front side wall 2, and sets the inlet Z to the pouring element 20 free.
  • contents can run out of the bag interior through the pouring outward.
  • the plastic film used for the side walls 2, 3, the ceiling part 11 and the bottom part 10 is preferably a multilayer film, in this embodiment, for example, a three-layered film whose outwardly facing outer film is e.g. a PET film having a thickness of e.g. 12 microns, whose middle film is a PA film with a thickness of z. B. 15 microns and their inner film is a PE film with a thickness of about 180 to 200 microns.
  • the material of the sealing film 25 is selected according to the material of the inner film, that is, in this embodiment, the sealing film 25 is also a PE film and has a thickness of 150 to 300 ⁇ m. At least the side of the sealing film 25 facing the first side wall 2 has been subjected to a surface treatment, such as a corona treatment, to roughen the surface and thus improve the adhesiveness of the sealing film 25 to the side wall surface 2.
  • Figure 7 shows a further embodiment of the present invention, which corresponds to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 6, with the exception that the closure film 25 is rounded at its lower end, which faces the bag bottom.
  • the lower transverse edge 25c extends, not parallel as in Figure 1, but has a rounded shape, e.g. a semi-oval shape. Such a rounded transverse edge allows the sealing film 25 to fit even better to the corresponding side wall.
