Definitions

  • the present invention relates to prevention against unfairly unsealing of a plastic zipper, of a plastic zipper with a slider, and of a bag equipped with the plastic zipper, which are easily opened and re-closable while they keep hermetic sealing, and which are used as packaging materials of foods, medicines, electronic products, etc.

  • Fig. 15 which is a sectional view taken along arrows A-A' in Fig. 14 of the above-mentioned Patent document 1
  • the zipper and the slider fitted at the upper portion of the bag body are covered by a perforated covering film. Since a system is applied in this example wherein when a new bag is opened first, the zipper is opened or closed by the slider after the covering film is torn along the perforations, the system is simple and has a good operability. However, there is a disadvantage that the bag has bad appearance and inferior industrial productivity.
  • a partitioning film having perforations is disposed inside the bag.
  • a system is applied in this example wherein when a new bag is opened first, the perforations of the partitioning film are opened after the zipper is opened by the slider, and therefore, the bag has good appearance and productivity.

  • Fig. 18 of the above-mentioned Patent document 1 discloses a system applied to a bag body having a zipper with a slider, wherein an upper portion of the zipper is spot welded under a condition wherein the slider is in a closed position, and the spot welded portion of a new bag body is cut off by the slider at the first cut.
  • the films at the upper portion of the zipper are closely in contact with each other, it is hard to judge from appearance whether or not the spot welded portion is cut off when the zipper is in a closed state.
  • perforations are formed at the upper portion of the zipper, i.e., at the portion above the engaging portion, and while the zipper is in a closed state, a part of the upper portion of the zipper is partially cut off, and then, a slider is disposed at the cut off portion.
  • This example applies a system wherein the upper portion of the zipper is cut off from the perforations by means of the slider when it is opened, however, sometimes cutting off may not be done well. Further, this system can be adopted only such a type of zipper as having an (upper) flange portion projecting upward from the engaging portion.

  • the plastic zipper 1 has flange portions FLA and FLB, and the edges of the flange portions have protrusions FPA and FPB formed thereon.
  • the engaging portions 1A and 1B are different from those illustrated in Figs. 1 to Fig. 6(a) and comprise a pair of hooks, the female hook of which has a continuous pressing rib, and the male hook of which has a continuous tightening wall.
  • the guide rails 3A and 3B have thin thickness, and they sandwich and guide the flange portions FLA and FLB at a position near the protrusions FPA and FPB.
  • the guide rails 3A and 3B of this embodiment do not have any portion for guiding the tear tape, they can not be utilized in the case of using the tear tape, however, when the top surfaces TA and TB at the mouth side of the plastic zipper 1, i.e., the protrusions FPA and FPB in this embodiment, have easily peelable plastic layer formed thereon, they are suitable for welding with each other.
  • the guide rollers 2A and 2B and the heating member 4 are similar to those of the above-explained embodiments illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 and in Figs. 4 and 5 , and also the welding method can be carried out along the lines explained with regard to these embodiments.
  • Figs. 7(a) and 7(b) are perspective views of a plastic zipper according to another embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 7(a) shows the situation wherein the tear tape is welded, and Fig. 7(b) shows the situation wherein a part of the tear tape is peeled off.
  • the plastic zipper 1 of this embodiment has the flange portions FLA and FLB extending outward from the engaging portions 1A and 1B, and the tear tape 5 is welded to the top surfaces TA and TB at mouth side along a broken line.
  • the tear tape 5 can be easily peeled off even if the peel off intensity is strong.
  • the phrase "weld along a broken line” means that the shape of the welded portion TS is formed by short straight lines which continue intermittently, it is a dotted line comprising a plurality of dots and formed in a round shape, a square shape or a designed pattern, or it is a mixture of short straight lines and dot lines, and it is not limited to the case wherein a tear tape is used, but it also includes the case wherein the top surfaces at mouth side of the zipper are directly welded, too.
  • the tear tape 5 has slits 5A cut from the edge thereof and spaced in a lengthwise direction thereof as illustrated in Figs. 7(a) and 7(b) .
  • slits 5A When such slits 5A are formed, the tear tape 5 will be cut off on its way because of the slits 5A, if it is tried to peel off the tear tape 5 from the side, namely from the edge. Therefore, unfair peeling off can become clear.
  • the tear tape 5 is cut obliquely, namely forming an angle of less than 90°, from the side edge toward the closed end of the plastic zipper.
  • the tear tape 5 can be peeled off continuously without cutting off on its way, when the tear tape 5 is pulled and peeled off from the opening end of zipper towards its closing end.
  • the angle of the slit is in a range from 20° to 60°.
  • the angle ⁇ is below 20°, since the length of the slit 5A becomes too long, there occurs a risk that the slit portion hangs down and that its appearance becomes bad.
  • the position of the slits 5A in the tear tape 5, i.e., the space between the slits, and the number of the slits 5A are not particularly limited, as long as they are in ranges wherein unfair peeling off can be understood, and they may be formed uniformly in a lengthwise direction, and alternatively, they may be formed at a part of the lengthwise direction. Preferably, they are formed on both the sides of the tear tape as illustrated.
  • the width n (in mm) of the tear tape 5 is within a following range of inequality wherein the thickness of the top surfaces at the mouth side stands for m (in mm).
  • 0.5 ⁇ n ⁇ m+4 (in mm) Namely, if the width n (in mm) of the tear tape 5 is less than 0.5 mm, there is a possibility that the tear tape 5 may be cut off when it is peeled off, and contrary to this, when the width n is beyond (m+4) mm, there is a possibility that the tear tape may bulge out from the slider at the slider disposing position and may cause bad appearance.
  • the width of the remaining portion where the slit 5A exists i.e., the portion which is not cut, is not less than 0.5 mm.
  • Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the guide rails of the present invention, and the guide rollers and the heating member are omitted their illustration.
  • the guide rails 3A and 3B in this embodiment have the cross sectional shapes similar to those illustrated in Fig. 6(a) .
  • the two guide rails 3A and 3B have at least one connecting portion 3D, preferably two or more than two connecting portions, which connects them to each other at the heating member side which is not illustrated.
  • the connecting portion 3D can restrict such movement of the tear tape 5 and can prevent its coming out from the grooves 3C. Therefore, the producing speed, i.e., moving velocities of the plastic zipper 1 and the tear tape 5, can be enhanced.
  • any one of the following methods may be accepted.
  • the zippers are closed, and then, the top surfaces TA and TB at the mouth side are welded directly or using the tear tape by mean of the methods of the present invention.
  • the bag bodies having the preventing function against unfairly unsealing are obtained.
