Definitions
- the invention relates to a bag, particularly a bag intended to be filled with more or less bulbous articles or crops, such as onions and potatoes.
- Such bags are often used for packaging 25 kg of onions or potatoes, and the like, and comprise a front wall and a rear wall. They can be supplied on a roll or in stacks.
- Such bags are usually made of material having a more or less open or permeable structure (closed mesh or standard mesh), such as bags of knitted or woven material, particularly so-called gauze bags or net bags but also burlap sacks or the like, or even bags of non-woven material.
- the bags on a roll can be provided in the form of a layer of net-material folded double, which at intermediate distances corresponding to the bag length is provided with transverse seams and at both the longitudinal edges forms a longitudinal seam and a longitudinal fold, respectively.
- the bags optionally in a filling machine, are separated from each other next to the transverse seams. This causes the bags to fray, as a result of which they look messy. After use the bags are thrown away as waste.
- the bags in stacks may have a tidier look and as a result are more suitable to be reused.
- a drawback however may be that when opening the closed opening the bag may be damaged which renders it difficult to re-use the bag. Bags in a stack may also be knitted, due to which they are more easily deformable in their plane. Bags in stacks are often filled by picking them from a stack by hand and then hanging them on a fill machine.
- the apertures may be ripped already when on the support pegs or be broadened to such an extent that the position of the bag cannot be relied on any more.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a bag of the said type that can be automatically supplied and/or hung on a fill machine.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a bag of the above- mentioned type that is suitable for re-use.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a bag of the above- mentioned type that is versatile in its use.
- the invention provides a bag comprising a gauze-shaped first wall and a gauze-shaped second wall, which walls are attached to each other along their bottom edge and along two longitudinal edges and at their upper edge leave a fill opening open, wherein the walls near their upper edge are provided with at least one aperture for hanging or carrying the bag, wherein the walls in an upper area near or adjacent to their upper edge are each provided with a layer of added material attached thereto, wherein the aperture is situated in the upper area and wherein the layer of added material is provided with a hole substantially coinciding with the aperture.
- Gauze-shaped in this case means a more or less open or permeable structure (standard mesh or even more open), particularly a fabric, knitting or cloth (non-woven) having holes optionally in the form of a net.
- Both layers of material ensure stabilisation of the apertures in the bag walls, wherein ripping the gauze-shaped material can be prevented.
- the bags will indeed be properly suitable to be supplied using a supply machine provided with one or more support pegs and/or to be automatically hung on a fill machine.
- the bags are carried on both walls.
- the bags may for that purpose be provided with two apertures in each wall.
- the shape stability of the apertures in the bag walls is further increased when the aperture has an edge defining the passage of aperture and hole.
- the layers of added material may extend over the width of the walls, between the longitudinal edges, as a result of which they may optionally be used when closing the bag.
- the layers of added material are attached to the walls by supplying heat.
- the layers of added material are attached to the outside of the walls. They thus provide a surface suitable for applying characteristics, such as labels. Said labels are also placed such that, even when the bags are stacked, they can still easily be seen.
- the layers of added material are attached to the inside of the walls. In this way they can be attached directly onto each other when closing the bag.
- the layers of added material are applied in viscous, soft, plastic form, for instance by brushing on, on the gauze-shaped walls, in a laminating or coating process, after which the layers are cooled very quickly.
- the layers of added material are applied in the form of a sheet, particularly in the form of foil.
- the layers of added material are substantially air impermeable.
- the bags can then be engaged on both sides, near the opening by means of for instance suction cups, and optionally be opened with them.
- the material of the layers may be sealable onto itself.
- a bag according to the invention may due to easy handling in a fill machine also be adapted to lower filling weights, such as 10 kg, or 5 kg or even lower (for instance 0.5 kg). This makes it possible to intend the bag for the private market, particularly via super markets.
- the walls can each be provided with an aperture for forming a handle, by which means the consumer can easily carry the bag. Now as well the layer of added material ensures that the aperture in question in the gauze-shaped material will not be ripped apart.
- the walls of the bag can be made of a synthetic material, particularly a polyolefin, such as polyethene, or PVC.
- the walls of the bag are made of a fabric they can be form stable, which enhances the positioning and handling of the bag, particularly in automatic systems.
- the layers of added material can be made of a synthetic material, particularly a polyolefin, such as polyethene or polypropene, or PVC.
- the materials of the walls and of the layers of added material can be the same.
- the invention provides a bag for bulk goods, such as potatoes and onions, comprising a first wall and a second wall, which walls are attached to each other along their bottom edge and along two longitudinal edges and at their upper edge leave an opening open, wherein the upper edges of both walls are situated at approximately the same distance from the bottom edge and both walls near their upper edge are provided with at least two apertures for hanging the bag on support pegs.
- a bag is suitable for use in storage systems and supplying systems in which the bags are hung on so-called support pegs.
- the bag is at least almost air impermeable in areas of both walls situated near the upper edge.
- the apertures may be situated adjacent to these areas.
- the bag is suitable to be engaged by suction cups for transport and/or holding the bag open. If the walls of the bag are made of at least almost air impermeable material (closed mesh), for instance of polypropene thread fabric, the material needs no further adjustment. If it regards walls having a more open structure, such as gauze-shaped or net-shaped walls or burlap (standard mesh), use can be made of the layers of added material such as discussed above, that may or may not be locally applied.
- the invention further provides a stack of unfilled bags according to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic view of an exemplary embodiment of a net bag according to the invention, in a slightly opened condition, as well as a storage holder for it;
- Figure 2 shows a schematic cross-section, in longitudinal direction, of an exemplary embodiment of a net bag according to the invention, in slightly opened condition;
- Figure 3 shows a schematic cross-section, in longitudinal direction of a further exemplary embodiment of a net bag according to the invention, in slightly opened condition;
- Figure 4 show a net bag of figure 2, in filled and closed condition
- Figure 5 shows another embodiment of a bag according to the invention.
- the unfilled net bag 1 in figure 1 comprises a front wall 2 and a rear wall 3 of broad-gauze-shaped or net-shaped material, for instance having warp and woof of polypropene threads or polyethene threads, optionally braided.
- the mesh of the material is 6x6, that means six 650 denier threads per inch in both directions, in the form of a so-called "leno" fabric.
- the front wall 2 and the rear wall 3 of this woven synthetic bag are obtained by folding a rectangular piece of net bag material, wherein a longitudinal fold 6 is formed.
- the bag 1 can be 43x65 cm.
- the weight of the bag 1 can be 46 grams.
- the front wall 2 and the rear wall 3 form a fill opening 9.
- the net-shaped material is covered at the outside with strips of synthetic foil-like material 7, for instance of polyethene film.
- the strips 7 can be applied by spreading a plastic material onto the outside of the front wall 2 and the rear wall 3 over nearly the full strip surface.
- use can be made of strips of foil material, which by means of an adhesive, for instance a coating, is attached on the net material.
- FIG 1 a storage holder 20 of net bags 1 is schematically shown, which storage holder has two support pegs 21 a, 21 b.
- Such a holder is intended for holding a store of net bags for supply to a fill machine that is not further shown. Also during the transport to the fill machine it can ' be desirable that the net bags are supported on pegs.
- the net bag 1 in the said upper area of the front wall 2 and. the rear wall 3 is provided with continuous apertures 1 0a, 1 0b with which the net bag 1 can be hung on the support pegs 21 a, 21 b so as to be slidable (direction A and back again).
- the apertures 10a, 10b are made circular in the strips 7, for instance by punching. Apertures that are substantially congruent thereto are made in the net/gauze-shaped material of the front wall 2 and the rear wall 3. The exact shape of the apertures 1 0a, 1 0b is defined by the added material of the strips 7.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows the layer buildup of the net bag 1 .
- the layer of material 7 is attached at the outside of the net/gauze material of the front wall 2 and the rear wall 3.
- the material of the strips 7 is at least almost air impermeable, so that the upper areas in question -adjacent to the apertures 1 0a, 10b and 1 1 - can be engaged by suction cups 25, schematically shown.
- the net bags can be moved by the suction cups 25 in particular over the pegs 21 a, b, from a store to a filling station, and optionally be opened there for engagement with a next bag holder, in order to be filled with for instance potatoes or onions, from the direction B.
- FIG 2 it is furthermore shown that at the outside of the front wall 2 and the rear wall 3 a layer 1 2 of foil material can be applied for instance showing a mark of the producer or trader.
- Closing the net bag 1 can take place by means of stitching or heat sealing.
- the net-shaped material of the front wall 2 and the rear wall 3 can be melted together, and, in case of sufficient closing pressure, the foil material of both strips 7 can also be brought into contact with each other, for sealing them, for instance line-shaped.
- FIG 3 an alternative embodiment is shown, wherein the strips of material 7 are attached to the inner surface of the front wall 2 and the rear wall 3.
- the suction cups 25 can now also be effective in taking along and opening net bag 1 of figure 3.
- the strips 7 can be directly sealed onto each other, optionally line-shaped again.
- the bag 1 /1 00 can be used for bulk packagings of for instance 25 or 50 kg of for instance onions or potatoes. Particularly when a bag 1 00 is suitable for low filling weights, such as consumer packagings, for instance 10 kg, 5 kg or lower, such as 0.5 kg, the net bag 1 00 can be carried (direction D) by a consumer, with a hand in the handles 1 1 .
- the user Prior to use the user can open the net bag 1 /100 by breaking the closure, particularly a heat sealing, particularly a line-shaped heat sealing, of the strips 7 and optionally the net bag material.
- the net bag 1/1 00 then remains substantially undamaged here, and can be re-used after use.
- the bag 201 shown in figure 5 is simple in build-up and has a front wall 202 and a rear wall 203 of identical material, that is at least almost air impermeable.
- the material can be closed woven polypropene threads.
- the material of the walls 202 and 203 is in any case closed to such an extent that suction cups can effectively engage it.
- the bag 202 is closed at both the longitudinal edges 205 and 206 and at the bottom edge 204.
- the upper edges 208 of the walls 202 and 203 define an opening 209.
- the longitudinal edges 205, 206 extend up to the upper edges 208.
- apertures 210a, 210b are provided in both walls 202 and 203.
- the apertures 210a, 210b are circular and adapted to the support pegs 21 a, 21 b shown in figure 1 of a support peg storage system.
- the engagement area in question can be made sufficiently air-tight by locally applying a said layer 7.
