Definitions
- the invention relates to a packaging for rubbable goods from a tubular bag made of flexible material with a flat end of the bag when filled, which is formed by at least two bag parts lying flat against one another, which are connected to one another by means of a sealing seam extending essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the bag, the sealing seam is angled at least partially roof-shaped starting from the edge.
- Packaging in the form of a bag is known and is increasingly used as a refill bag for powdered detergents and / or cleaning agents, which are placed or poured into an original container or into a permanent use container.
- Such packaging bags made of flexible material consist, for example, of composite material (paper / polyethylene composite or polypropylene / polyethylene composite and the like) and are usually formed from a so-called gusseted tube which, after filling, is folded flat on the top to form a flat bag end and then transverse to the longitudinal axis of the bag with a continuous one straight seal is closed.
- composite material paper / polyethylene composite or polypropylene / polyethylene composite and the like
- the sealing seam is roof-shaped, which makes it possible to be able to open the packaging in a largely controlled manner without tools. It has been found that such a beveling of the sealing seam when tearing by hand no longer acts on the tearing force over the full length of the bag, but is largely deflected in the transverse direction, so that uncontrolled tearing is avoided during the tearing process. The tearing can take place, for example, in the manner of a chip mare. The deflection of the tear force also reduces the opening force acting on the bag. If such packaging can be opened largely without tools, the opening process is still relatively difficult since the sealing seam has to be destroyed by tearing. Therefore, inexperienced users often fail to open such packaging without tearing tools.
- the object of the invention is therefore to make it much easier to open such packaging without tools.
- sealing seam has at least one interruption and / or weakening over its length.
- the advantages of the roof-shaped design of the sealing seam remain completely, ie when tearing open by hand, the tearing force no longer acts on the full length of the bag, but is largely deflected in the transverse direction, so that uncontrolled tearing is avoided during the tearing process.
- the tearing process itself is, however, considerably facilitated, since the sealing seam has at least one type of predetermined breaking point, which is either formed by at least one interruption of the sealing seam or by a weakening of the sealing seam, which can be realized, for example, in such a way that the width of the weakened areas Sealing seam is less than in the other areas. It is advantageously provided that the sealing seam is angled roof-like over its entire length.
- a marking at the end of the tubular bag or an intervention bottle then preferably indicates to the user that the bag is to be torn open adjacent to the roof-shaped area of the sealing seam.
- the sealing seam is angled roof-like over its entire length, it is particularly advantageously provided that the sealing seam has several interruptions and / or weakenings, which are preferably arranged symmetrically over its length. With such a design, the opening process is made considerably easier because the sealing seam has several predetermined breaking points.
- the sealing seam is in the form of serrations, that is to say it is formed by a plurality of seam regions which are angled adjacent to one another and have a roof shape. Several interruptions and / or weakenings are preferably provided over the length of the sealing seam.
- Fig. 2 shows the packaging of Figure 1 during the opening and in
- a packaging according to the invention for debris-capable products which is designed in particular as a refill bag for powdered detergents and / or cleaning agents, consists of a tubular bag made of flexible material, generally designated 1, for example of a film with a peel medium integrated into the film layer (e.g. polyethylene) ( e.g. polybutene).
- a film with a peel medium integrated into the film layer e.g. polyethylene
- e.g. polybutene e.g. polybutene
- the tubular bag 1 is formed by a side-gusseted tube which, after the packaging has been filled, is closed on the upper side in such a way that the side gussets are folded in, this region is indicated by 2, so that there is a flat end of the bag, which is designated by 3, and that is essentially formed only by two layers of pouches lying flat against one another, with the folded-in side folds naturally also being present in the edge regions.
- the regions of the bag end 3 lying one on top of the other are connected to one another with a sealing seam 5 which extends essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the bag (parallel to the arrow 4 in FIG. 1).
- this sealing seam 5 is formed, in some areas, angled in a roof shape starting from the edge edges 6; in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 a, it is designed such that it is angled outward over its entire length.
- the sealing seam 5 has at least one interruption or weakening over its length; in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, three symmetrically arranged interruptions 9 are provided.
- a tear force is now initiated by the user in the direction of the arrow 4, preferably facilitated by an intervention bottle 7, and in the manner of a chip bag (arrows 10), as a result of which the sealing seam 5 is formed with interruptions 9 automatically a largely defined tear-open opening results without the risk that the bag is torn down in the direction of arrow 4, as a result of which product could escape in an uncontrolled manner.
- the sealing seam 5 can fundamentally have different shapes, essentially st that, starting from the edge edges ⁇ , it is at least partially roof-shaped and has at least one interruption or weakening.
- the sealing seam 5 is angled inward in a roof shape, resulting in a deflection of force in the direction of the arrows 4 'there and a tear line 8.
- only one interruption 9 is provided.
- FIG. 3c shows a variant in which the sealing seam is formed by a plurality of seam regions 5 ′ which are arranged adjacent to one another and are angled in a roof shape and are angled outwards. The entire sealing seam is thus jagged. This is provided with several interruptions 9.
- Figure 3d shows a variant in which the interruptions 9 are arranged differently.
- the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown. Further configurations are possible without leaving the basic idea. So it is of course also possible that, unlike in FIG. 1, the roof-shaped angled area of the sealing seam 5 does not extend over the entire length of the sealing seam, but only in a specific area of the same and the like. Depending on the product and the desired opening force, more or fewer interruptions 9 or weakening of the sealing seam are to be provided.
