  • the label made in a manner analogous to that described above, has a reinforcing portion that can be separated from the label and is intended to adhere permanently to the wall of the container around the cut area.
  • This reinforcing zone affects the shape of a frame which delimits, in cooperation with the label, the extraction opening of the products through said bag.
  • the self-adhesive label has portions of its adhesive face adhered directly to the outer wall of the packaging to be equipped with such an opening and closing device.
  • the adhesive of this label must be such that the label must be repositionable on the reinforcing portion which allows a clean delimitation of the opening when drawing the label.
  • the adhesive must be strong enough to allow the label to adhere to the packaging during the storage and transport steps and to drive the tear tape from the package upon opening. The adhesive must therefore take into account the compromise between a weak adhesion on the reinforcing portion and a strong adhesion on the packaging from where the difficulties of development which result from it.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a packaging opening and closing device whose design allows it to be affixed to any type of packaging without having to know the nature of this packaging.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a packaging opening and closing device whose design makes it possible, during the extraction operations, to automatically maintain the closure label in a position which limits the risk of soiling. the adhesive part of the label.

  • Figure 3 shows yet another top view of another embodiment of a packaging opening and closing device in the state affixed to a package
  • FIG. 4 represents a sectional view of another embodiment of the packaging opening and closing device of FIG. 3 and
  • FIG. 5 represents a perspective view of the opening and closing device applied to an open-ended packaging of the extraction opening.
  • the device 3 for opening and closing, object of the invention is intended to be positioned on a package 1, such as a bag, hermetically sealed.
  • This device 3 comprises, in a manner known per se, a self-adhesive label 4 provided, preferably at one of its ends, with a non-adhesive gripping zone 10 generally made in the form of a tab positioned along a longitudinal axis. transverse edge of the label 4 which affects a rectangular shape.
  • This label 4 is positionable in a partially detachable and attachable manner on the outer wall of the packaging 1, in correspondence with a breaking primer formed on said packaging envelope. This breakthrough can affect a large number of shapes.
  • This incipient fracture is to facilitate the tearing of the wall of the casing during the printing of the label and to control this tear during a first detachment of the label 4 in order to define an extraction opening 11 through which the products contained in the bag can be extracted.
  • This rupture of the wall develops to a limit stop 7, 8 delimiting an edge of the opening 11 extraction.
  • the label In this end-of-travel position, the label obviously remains attached to the torn envelope portion.
  • the extraction opening 11 can then be closed by refixing the self-adhesive label 4 which has adhesive portions extending generally around the torn envelope portion adhered to the label.
  • the device consisting of the self-adhesive label 4 and an end stop 7, 8 further includes, covering the entire detachable adhesive face of the label 4, which will be hereinafter called the dorsal of the label, at least one adhesive part reported.
  • This adhesive piece which can be made in one piece or in several pieces, constitutes an interface between the outer wall of the package 1 and the label 3 in the affixed state of the label 3 on the packaging wall 1.
  • the nature of the adhesive covering the dorsal of the label 3 can be chosen solely according to the nature of the interface 5 and no longer according to both the nature of the interface 5 and the wall of the conditioning. This results in a simplification of the design of the opening / closing device.
  • This adhesive interface is in turn intended to adhere permanently to the packaging wall 1.
  • the adhesive used may therefore be a relatively strong adhesive ensuring a secure hold of the opening and closing device on the wall 1 of packaging .
  • This adhesive interface is provided with at least one breaker primer 6 such as a notch, a prefent, a thinning of material, produced as a function of the rupture primer of the wall of the packaging 1 so as to cooperate with this last and ensure perfect control of the rupture of the interface 5 and the packaging wall caused during a first detachment of the label 4.
  • detachment of the label is meant the drawing of the label up to end stop in which it remains attached to the packaging.
  • the detached part of the opening and closing device is constituted by the label 4, the portion of the adhesive interface 5 extending inside the breakout primer 6 when this substantially affects the shape of an open frame, as shown in FIG. 1, and the packaging wall portion also being within this frame.
  • the cut strip thus formed, during the first detachment of the label 4, is stopped when an end stop 7, 8 end is reached by the tears. This limit stop defines an edge of the opening 11 of extraction.
  • this end stop can affect a large number of shapes.
  • the limit stop 7 is formed by a precut of the interface 5 extending in a direction transverse to the detaching direction of the label 4 (shown in dashed line). so as to form a barrier marking the end of the progression of the assembly formed of the label 4, the portion of the interface 5 and the packaging part 1 torn during the first detachment of the label 4.
  • the part shown in 5A in the figures which extends beyond the abutment 7 end of stroke, is a part of the device permanently adhered to the packaging, including after the first detachment of the label 4 whose progression was stopped by end stop 7.
  • the label 4 separates from the part of the interface 5 which is outside the frame delimited by the breakout primer 6 and causes the part of the interface 5 housed inside this frame 6.
  • the interface 5, in the open state of the packaging, defines the edges of the opening 11 extraction.
  • the precut of the interface 5, constituting the limit stop 7, affects the general shape of a U or a V.
  • this interface 5 is provided with two pre-cuts 6, 7 in the shape of a U or V fitting by partial overlap of the free ends of the U or V, the precut 7 constituting the limit stop of the receiving device interlocking the other pre-cut 6, the precut 6 nested constituting the initiation of rupture cooperating with the control of the rupture of the wall of the packaging 1.
  • the limit stop 8 is formed; by an adhesive strip extending transversely to the detaching direction of the label 4, preferably from one longitudinal edge to another longitudinal edge of the label 4.
  • This end stop 8 is positioned at the level of the label opposite the gripping area 10 of the label.
  • the adhesive tape constituting the limit stop 8 can be inserted between the label 4 and the interface 5 as shown in FIG. 4 and be positioned on the adhesive side of the label 4 opposite its end provided with a non-adhesive gripping area.
  • the adhesive tape constituting the limit stop 8 can, in another embodiment, not shown, be positioned between the interface 5 and the outer wall of the packaging 1.
  • this adhesive zone consists of the face of the top of the limit stop 8 made in the form of a double-sided adhesive tape extending in the plane of the interface 5 or between the interface 5 and the label 4. Thanks to the presence of this adhesive part, the user can block the cover label by its front face by positioning it on the adhesive strip thus released.
  • this strip detached can be thrown or repositioned on the adhesive strip after the spill operations performed.
  • this strip may be coated with a silicone or glacial material on its back.
  • this device is, before positioning on the casing wall 1, stored in the wound state on a peelable support strip. It can thus be applied in particular by licking on packaging passing beneath a laying head equipped with such a storage reel of the opening and closing device.
  • the opening of such a packaging is extremely easy. It is sufficient at first to grasp the tab 10 gripping and pull on the entire device. It is then noted, during a draw on the device, the detachment of the label 4 parts of the interface 5 intended to remain in position on the packaging and a drive by the label 4 of the part of the interface and the portion of the bag to be torn. This drive is performed to a predetermined end position that marks the delimitation of one of the edges of the opening 11 extraction thus formed. In this end-of-travel position, the label can be held in the open position of the opening by tearing off the strip 9 and fixing the front of the label 4 on the adhesive strip thus discovered by tearing off the strip 9. once the bag emptying operations performed, the label is repositioned on the interface 5 to close the opening 11 extraction. The bag can thus be kept in the closed position until a new use of the bag.
