Abstract

The invention relates to a packaging for pourable products, consisting of a tubular bag (1) made of a flexible material with a bag end (3) that lies flat when the bag is full, said bag end being formed from at least two side bag parts which lie flat against each other, which are interconnected by means of a sealing seam that extends essentially crosswise to the longitudinal axis (4) of the bag. Said sealing seam is configured in such a way that is angled in a roof shape, starting from the side edges (6), at least in sections. The aim of the invention is to substantially facilitate opening without the use of a tool. To this end, the sealing seam (5, 5') has at least one break (9) and/or weak area in its length.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für schüttfähige Güter aus einem Schlauchbeutel aus flexiblem Material mit einem im gefüllten Zustand flachliegenden Beutelende, das von wenigstens zwei flach aneinanderliegenden Beutelseitenteilen gebildet ist, die mittels einer sich im wesentlichen quer zur Beutellängsachse erstreckenden Versiegelungsnaht miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Versiegelungsnaht ausgehend von den Randkanten wenigstens bereichsweise dachförmig angewinkelt ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a package for pourable goods from a tubular bag made of flexible material with a flat-lying in the inflated bag end, which is formed by at least two flat juxtaposed bag side parts, which are connected by means of a substantially transverse to the bag longitudinal sealing seam, wherein the sealing seam is formed at least partially roof-shaped starting from the marginal edges.

Verpackungen in Beutelform sind bekannt und werden in verstärktem Maße für pulverförmige Wasch- und/oder Reinigungsmittel als Nachfüllbeutel verwendet, welche in ein Originalgebinde bzw. in ein Dauergebrauchsbehältnis eingestellt oder umgeschüttet werden.Packages in bag form are known and are used to a greater extent for powdered detergents and / or cleaning agents as refill bags, which are set or poured into a original container or in a long-life container.

Solche Verpackungsbeutel aus flexiblem Material bestehen z.B. aus Verbundmaterial (Papier/Polyethylenverbund oder Polypropylen/Polyethylenverbund und dgl.) und sind üblicherweise aus einem sogenannten Seitenfaltenschlauch gebildet, welcher nach dem Füllen oberseitig zur Bildung eines flachen Beutelendes flach zusammengelegt und anschließend quer zur Beutellängsachse mit einer durchgehenden geraden Versiegelungsnaht verschlossen wird.Such packaging bag 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 folded after filling the top flat to form a flat bag end and then transverse to the bag longitudinal axis with a continuous straight sealing seam is closed.

Zum Öffnen einer solchen Verpackung zur Produktentnahme bzw. Umfüllung in ein Dauergebrauchsbehältnis ist es bisher bei herkömmlichen Schlauchbeuteln notwendig, das flache Schlauchende unterhalb der Versiegelungsnaht mit einer Schere oder dgl. aufzuschneiden, wodurch sich der Schlauchbeutel öffnet. Alternativ ist es grundsätzlich auch möglich, den Schlauchbeutel ohne Werkzeug mit der Hand aufzureißen, was jedoch eine sehr unkontrollierte Öffnung bewirkt, wodurch Produkt unkontrolliert aus der Verpackung austritt.To open such a package for product removal or refilling into a long-life container, it has hitherto been necessary in conventional tubular bags to cut open the flat end of the hose below the sealing seam with scissors or the like, thereby opening the tubular bag. Alternatively, it is also possible in principle to tear the tubular bag without tools by hand, but this causes a very uncontrolled opening, whereby product uncontrollably escapes from the package.

Bei einer beispielsweise aus EP 0 343 629 A1 bekannten Beutelverpackung ist die Versiegelungsnaht dachförmig ausgebildet, was es ermöglicht, die Verpackung ohne Werkzeug weitgehend kontrolliert öffnen zu können. Es hat sich nämlich herausgestellt, dass durch eine derartige Anschrägung der Versiegelungsnaht beim Aufreißen von Hand die Aufreißkraft nicht mehr auf der vollen Länge des Beutels angreift, sondern weitgehend in Querrichtung umgelenkt wird, so dass beim Abreißvorgang ein unkontrolliertes Einreißen vermieden wird. Das Aufreißen kann dabei z.B. nach Art einer Chipstüte erfolgen. Durch die Umlenkung der Aufreißkraft verringert sich zudem die auf den Beutel einwirkende Öffnungskraft. Läßt sich eine solche Verpackung zwar bereits ohne Werkzeug auch weitgehend kontrolliert öffnen, ist der Öffnungsvorgang jedoch nach wie vor relativ schwierig, da die Versiegelungsnaht durch das Aufreißen zerstört werden muss. Ungeübten Anwendern gelingt es deshalb häufig trotzdem nicht, eine solche Verpackung ohne Aufreißwerkzeug zu öffnen.For example, off EP 0 343 629 A1 known pouch packaging, the sealing seam is roof-shaped, which makes it possible to open the packaging largely controlled without tools. It has been found that such a bevel of the sealing seam when tearing 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 an uncontrolled tearing is avoided during the tearing process. The tearing can take place, for example, in the manner of a chip bag. By the deflection of the tearing force also reduces the force acting on the bag opening force. Although such a package can already be opened largely without tools, the opening process is however still relatively difficult because the sealing seam must be destroyed by the tearing. Nevertheless, it is often not possible for inexperienced users to open such a package without a tearing tool.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es deshalb, das Öffnen einer derartigen Verpackung ohne Werkzeug wesentlich zu erleichtern.The object of the invention is therefore to facilitate the opening of such a package without tools essential.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Verpackung der eingangs bezeichneten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Versiegelungsnaht über ihrer Länge wenigstens eine Unterbrechung und/oder Schwächung aufweist.This object is achieved according to the invention in a package of the type described, in that the sealing seam has at least one interruption and / or weakening over its length.

Bei dieser Verpackung bleiben die Vorteile der dachförmigen Ausbildung der Versiegelungsnaht vollständig bestehen, d.h. beim Aufreißen von Hand greift die Aufreißkraft nicht mehr auf der vollen Länge des Beutels an, sondern wird weitgehend in Querrichtung umgelenkt, so dass beim Abreißvorgang ein unkontrolliertes Einreißen vermieden wird. Der Aufreißvorgang an sich wird jedoch wesentlich erleichtert, da die Versiegelungsnaht wenigstens eine Art Sollbruchstelle aufweist, die entweder von wenigstens einer Unterbrechung der Versiegelungsnaht gebildet wird oder von einer Schwächung der Versiegelungsnaht, die beispielsweise so realisiert werden kann, dass in den geschwächten Bereichen die Breite der Versiegelungsnaht geringer ist als in den übrigen Bereichen. Vorteilhaft ist vorgesehen, dass die Versiegelungsnaht über ihrer gesamten Länge dachförmig angewinkelt ausgebildet ist.In this packaging, the advantages of the roof-shaped design of the sealing seam remain complete, ie when tearing by hand, the tearing force no longer attacks the full length of the bag, but is largely deflected in the transverse direction, so that unraveling tearing is avoided during tearing. However, the tearing process itself is greatly facilitated because the sealing seam has at least one type of predetermined breaking point, which is formed either by at least one interruption of the sealing seam or a weakening of the sealing seam, which can be realized, for example, that in the weakened areas, the width of the Sealing seam is lower than in the other areas. It is advantageously provided that the sealing seam is formed roof-shaped over its entire length.

Bei größeren Beuteln kann es aber auch ausreichen, nur einen Teil der Versiegelungsnaht dachförmig auszugestalten. Durch eine Markierung am Schlauchbeutelende oder eine Eingrifflasche ist dann dem Benutzer vorzugsweise anzudeuten, dass der Beutel angrenzend an den dachförmigen Bereich der Versiegelungsnaht aufzureißen ist.For larger bags, it may also be sufficient to design only a part of the sealing seam roof-shaped. By a mark on the end of the tubular bag or a Einrifflasche is then preferably indicate to the user that the bag is to tear open adjacent to the roof-shaped portion of the sealing seam.

Wenn die Versiegelungsnaht über ihrer gesamten Länge dachförmig angewinkelt ausgebildet ist, ist besonders vorteilhaft vorgesehen, dass die Versiegelungsnaht mehrere Unterbrechungen und/oder Schwächungen aufweist, die vorzugsweise symmetrisch über ihrer Länge angeordnet sind. Bei einer solchen Gestaltung wird der Öffnungsvorgang wesentlich erleichtert, weil die Versiegelungsnaht mehrere Sollbruchstellen aufweist.If the sealing seam is formed roof-shaped angled over its entire length, it is particularly advantageously provided that the sealing seam has a plurality of interruptions and / or weakenings, which are preferably arranged symmetrically over their length. With such a design, the opening process is substantially facilitated because the sealing seam has a plurality of predetermined breaking points.

Alternativ kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Versiegelungsnaht zackenförmig, d.h. von mehreren benachbart zueinander angeordneten dachförmig angewinkelten Nahtbereichen gebildet ist. Dabei sind über der Länge der Versiegelungsnaht vorzugsweise mehrere Unterbrechungen und/oder Schwächungen vorgesehen.Alternatively, it can also be provided that the sealing seam is jagged, ie formed by a plurality of adjacent roof-shaped angled seam regions arranged adjacent to one another. In this case, a plurality of interruptions and / or weakenings are preferably provided over the length of the sealing seam.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Verpackung für schüttfähige Produkte, die insbesondere als Nachfüllbeutel für pulverförmige Wasch- und/oder Reinigungsmittel ausgebildet ist, besteht aus einem allgemein mit 1 bezeichneten Schlauchbeutel aus flexiblem Material, beispielsweise aus einer Folie mit einem in die Folienschicht (z.B. Polyethylen) integrierten Peelmedium (z.B. Polybuten). Der Schlauchbeutel 1 ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel von einem Seitenfaltenschlauch gebildet, der nach dem Füllen der Verpackung oberseitig derart geschlossen wird, dass die Seitenfalten eingefaltet sind, dieser Bereich ist mit 2 angedeutet, so dass sich ein flaches Beutelende ergibt, das mit 3 bezeichnet ist und das im wesentlichen nur von zwei flach aneinanderliegenden Beutelschichten gebildet ist, wobei selbstverständlich in den Randbereichen zusätzlich die eingefalteten Seitenfalten vorhanden sind.A package according to the invention for pourable products, which is designed in particular as a refill bag for pulverulent detergents and / or cleaning agents, consists of a flexible bag, generally designated 1, of flexible material, for example a film with a peel medium integrated into the film layer (eg polyethylene) ( eg polybutene). The tubular bag 1 is formed in the embodiment of a gusseted tube, which is closed on the upper side after filling the package so that the gussets are folded, this area is indicated by 2, so that there is a flat bag end, which is denoted by 3 and is formed essentially only of two flat-lying bag layers, which of course in the edge regions additionally the folded gussets are present.

Zum Verschließen der Verpackung 1 nach der Produktbefüllung werden die aufeinanderliegenden Bereiche des Beutelendes 3 mit einer sich im wesentlichen quer zur Beutellängsachse (parallel zum Pfeil 4 in Figur 1) erstreckenden Versiegelungsnaht 5 miteinander verbunden. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass diese Versiegelungsnaht 5 ausgehend von den Randkanten 6 bereichsweise dachförmig angewinkelt ausgebildet ist, beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figuren 1, 2 und 3a ist sie so gestaltet, dass sie über ihrer gesamten Länge dachförmig nach außen angewinkelt ausgebildet ist. Erfindungswesentlich weist die Versiegelungsnaht 5 dabei über ihrer Länge wenigstens eine Unterbrechung oder Schwächung auf, bei der Ausführungsform nach Figuren 1 und 2 sind drei symmetrisch angeordnete Unterbrechungen 9 vorgesehen.For closing the package 1 after the product filling the superimposed areas of the bag end 3 with a substantially transverse to the bag longitudinal axis (parallel to the arrow 4 in FIG FIG. 1 ) extending sealing seam 5 interconnected. It is provided that this sealing seam 5 is formed from the peripheral edges 6 partially roof-shaped angled, in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3a It is designed so that it is formed roof-shaped over its entire length outwardly bent. Essential to the invention, the sealing seam 5 has over its length at least one interruption or weakening, in the embodiment according to Figures 1 and 2 three symmetrically arranged interruptions 9 are provided.

Zum Öffnen der Verpackung 1 wird nun in Richtung des Pfeiles 4, vorzugsweise erleichtert durch eine Eingrifflasche 7, sowie nach Art einer Chipstüte (Pfeile 10) vom Anwender mit der Hand eine Aufreißkraft eingeleitet, wodurch sich aufgrund der Ausgestaltung der Versiegelungsnaht 5 mit Unterbrechungen 9 automatisch eine weitgehend definierte Aufreißöffnung ergibt, ohne dass die Gefahr besteht, dass der Beutel nach unten in Richtung des Pfeiles 4 aufgerissen wird, wodurch unkontrolliert Produkt austreten könnte.To open the package 1 is now in the direction of arrow 4, preferably facilitated by a Eingrifflasche 7, and in the manner of a chip bag (arrows 10) initiated by the user by hand a tearing force, which automatically due to the design of the sealing seam 5 with breaks 9 a largely defined tear opening results, without the risk that the bag is torn down in the direction of arrow 4, which could leak uncontrolled product.

Die Versiegelungsnaht 5 kann grundsätzlich verschiedene Formen aufweisen, wesentlich ist, dass sie ausgehend von den Randkanten 6 wenigstens bereichsweise dachförmig ausgebildet ist und wenigstens eine Unterbrechung bzw. Schwächung aufweist.The sealing seam 5 can basically have different shapes, it is essential that, starting from the marginal edges 6, it is at least partially roof-shaped and has at least one interruption or weakening.

Ist die Versiegelungsnaht 5, wie in Figur 3a gezeigt, dachförmig nach außen gerichtet, so ergibt sich beim Aufreißen in Richtung des Pfeiles 4 eine Umlenkung der Kraftrichtung im Sinne der Pfeile 4', so dass sich annähernd eine Aufreißlinie 8 einstellt. Dabei sind eine zentral angeordnete Unterbrechung 9 der Versiegelungsnaht 5 vorgesehen sowie zwei dazu symmetrisch angeordnete Unterbrechungen 9.Is the sealing seam 5, as in FIG. 3a shown, roof-shaped directed outward, it follows when tearing in the direction of arrow 4, a deflection of the direction of force in the direction of arrows 4 ', so that approximately adjusts a tear line 8. In this case, a centrally arranged interruption 9 of the sealing seam 5 are provided and two symmetrically arranged interruptions 9.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 3b ist die Versiegelungsnaht 5 dachförmig nach innen angewinkelt ausgebildet, daraus ergibt sich eine Kraftumlenkung in Richtung der dortigen Pfeile 4' und eine Aufreißlinie 8. Bei dieser Variante ist nur eine Unterbrechung 9 vorgesehen.In the embodiment according to FIG. 3b is the sealing seam 5 roof-shaped inwardly angled formed, this results in a force deflection in the direction of the local arrows 4 'and a tear line 8. In this variant, only one interruption 9 is provided.

Figur 3c zeigt eine Variante, bei der die Versiegelungsnaht von mehreren benachbart zueinander angeordneten, dachförmig angewinkelten Nahtbereichen 5' gebildet ist, die nach außen angewinkelt sind. Die gesamte Versiegelungsnaht ist somit zackenförmig. Diese ist mit mehreren Unterbrechungen 9 versehen. Figure 3c shows a variant in which the sealing seam of a plurality of adjacently arranged, roof-shaped angled seam portions 5 'is formed, which are angled outwards. The entire sealing seam is thus jagged. This is provided with several interruptions 9.

Demgegenüber zeigt Figur 3d eine Variante, bei der die Unterbrechungen 9 anders angeordnet sind.In contrast, shows 3d figure a variant in which the interruptions 9 are arranged differently.

Natürlich ist die Erfindung nicht auf die dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Weitere Ausgestaltungen sind möglich. So ist es selbstverständlich auch möglich, dass, anders als in Figur 1 dargestellt, der dachförmig angewinkelte Bereich der Versiegelungsnaht 5 sich nicht über der gesamten Länge der Versiegelungsnaht erstreckt, sondern nur in einen bestimmten Bereich derselben und dgl. mehr. Abhängig vom Produkt und der gewünschten Öffnungskraft sind dabei mehr oder weniger Unterbrechungen 9 oder Schwächungen der Versiegelungsnaht vorzusehen. Of course, the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. Further embodiments are possible. So of course it is also possible that, unlike in FIG. 1 shown, the roof-shaped angled portion of the sealing seam 5 does not extend over the entire length of the sealing seam, but only in a certain area of the same and the like. More. Depending on the product and the desired opening force, more or fewer interruptions 9 or weakening of the sealing seam are to be provided.
