Definitions
- the invention relates to an easy-opening packaging for folded and stacked sheet-like articles such as, for example, disposable napkins made of paper and/or any other material, or other disposable products, which are increasingly common because of their limited cost, the obvious advantages in terms of practicality and hygiene and the fact that they do not pollute the environment.
- a transparent plastic wrapping is used, for example in the form of a sheet made of polypropylene, polyester or cellulose-derived materials and the like.
- FIG. 1 An example of embodiment of a packaging according to the prior art is shown in a perspective view in Figure 1 where the known packaging is indicated by the number 1.
- the known packaging is indicated by the number 1.
- at least one line L for tearing the said wrapping for example oriented in the direction of the length of the sheet which forms the said wrapping and obtained for example by means of a linear succession of small holes formed on the sheet when the latter is still arranged flat and is about to be fed to the packaging station, so as to obtain easy opening of the packaging 1 along this line L.
- the said tear line is formed with well-defined openings, something which, however, may give rise to the following additional drawbacks.
- some of these even though packaged inside a further plastic packaging or inside cardboard boxes, may open spontaneously along the abovementioned tear line L, especially following mechanical and/or compressive actions which affect the part of the wrapping on which the said perforated tear line L is situated.
- the articles contained inside the packaging are no longer protected from the point of view of hygiene or appearance, so that they may be contaminated by polluting and infectious agents and may be altered so as to have folds, stains and/or other imperfections.
- Prior art document US-A-2 665 834 discloses an easy-opening packaging for sheet-like articles folded and arranged in a pile, comprising a wrapping surrounding said pile of articles, said wrapping defining a given perimeter and being formed by a sheet cut to size and closed around the pile articles along the said perimeter and being provided with at least one tear line for easy opening, wherein said tear line is obtained by fixing a flexible and suitably resistant tape to the wrapping so that, by removing this tape with a pulling force exerted on its free end section, preferably oriented so as to be arranged on top of the following tape section, it is possible to tear and open the said wrapping in a precise manner, at least along a certain section of its perimeter.
- One object of the invention is therefore to provide an easy-opening packaging for sheet-like articles folded and arranged in a pile, which is of improved type, is easy to manufacture, prevents contamination and alteration of the packaged articles and may be easily opened in a safe and precise manner.

- the wrapping 13 has an end edge portion 19 which projects from the said sealing zone 16 and which is preferably arranged so as to project from a corner zone of the wrapping 13 so that it may be easily identified and gripped by the user along the section where the end 114 of the tape 14 is situated, the said edge portion 19 having along the sides of the latter incisions or cuts 20 with the aim of favouring initial tearing and therefore ensuring always easy and precise opening of the said wrapping 13.
- the incisions 20 not adversely affect the sealed closure and therefore the hygienic condition of the packaging in that they involve only the section of the end edge portion 19 which is situated outside of the said seal 16.
- the easy-opening tape 14 may be advantageously arranged in the vicinity of one end of the packaging 10 so that, even after opening, the said packaging is able to contain in an optimum manner the articles 11 packaged inside it. It is understood, however, that the tape 14 may also be arranged in any position on the packaging 10, also because the operating function of this tape when opening the packaging is not influenced or favoured by vicinity thereto of one end of the said packaging 10.
- opening of the said packaging may be performed only over a part of its perimeter P so as to form in the said packaging a pocket which allows removal of the products 11 but which may then be hygienically closed.
- the easy-opening tape 14 may be provided differently on only a part of the perimeter P, for example only on a portion approximately equal to half of the said perimeter of the packaging. In this way, the articles 11 are extracted from the side where the opening is formed by pulling the tape 14 and the packaging may be partially closed again, ensuring also greater protection for the said products.
- the tape 14 is applied to the wrapping 13 only over a certain section of the said wrapping in a discontinuous manner. Also in this version, the tape 14 may be applied longitudinally in a similar manner to that shown in Figure 2 , or transversely, according to a version of the invention not shown in the figures, but also falling within the scope of the invention.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to an easy-opening packaging for folded and stacked sheet-like articles such as, for example, disposable napkins made of paper and/or any other material, or other disposable products, which are increasingly common because of their limited cost, the obvious advantages in terms of practicality and hygiene and the fact that they do not pollute the environment.
- In the case of disposable napkins these are usually folded, arranged on top of each other in a certain number so as to form a pile and are surrounded by a packaging wrapping obtained from a sheet which is folded in tubular form around the pile and then fixed in this form and the free ends of which are then folded over, arranged on top of each other and fixed together. In order to package the said articles, generally a transparent plastic wrapping is used, for example in the form of a sheet made of polypropylene, polyester or cellulose-derived materials and the like.
- An example of embodiment of a packaging according to the prior art is shown in a perspective view in
Figure 1 where the known packaging is indicated by the number 1. In order to open the wrapping it is usual to provide at least one line L for tearing the said wrapping, for example oriented in the direction of the length of the sheet which forms the said wrapping and obtained for example by means of a linear succession of small holes formed on the sheet when the latter is still arranged flat and is about to be fed to the packaging station, so as to obtain easy opening of the packaging 1 along this line L. - The known solution according to
Figure 1 has the following limitations and drawbacks: - Perforation of the materials at present most commonly used to form the said wrappings 1, such as polypropylene for example, is not performed properly because of the considerable toughness of the abovementioned material, even when the wrapping is formed with a very small thickness. Consequently, even the operation of opening the wrapping along the said tear line L may be difficult precisely because the material does not tear or break easily.
- In order to overcome the said drawback, often the said tear line is formed with well-defined openings, something which, however, may give rise to the following additional drawbacks. During transportation or storage of the packaged products, some of these, even though packaged inside a further plastic packaging or inside cardboard boxes, may open spontaneously along the abovementioned tear line L, especially following mechanical and/or compressive actions which affect the part of the wrapping on which the said perforated tear line L is situated. Following opening of the wrapping, the articles contained inside the packaging are no longer protected from the point of view of hygiene or appearance, so that they may be contaminated by polluting and infectious agents and may be altered so as to have folds, stains and/or other imperfections.
- Moreover, even though the wrapping remains intact, dirt and contaminating agents may pass through the holes of the tear line L, altering in this case also the articles which are contained inside the packaging and no longer comply with hygiene standards or may have an unattractive appearance owing to the presence of dust, stains and other negative factors.
- Prior art document
US-A-2 665 834 discloses an easy-opening packaging for sheet-like articles folded and arranged in a pile, comprising a wrapping surrounding said pile of articles, said wrapping defining a given perimeter and being formed by a sheet cut to size and closed around the pile articles along the said perimeter and being provided with at least one tear line for easy opening, wherein said tear line is obtained by fixing a flexible and suitably resistant tape to the wrapping so that, by removing this tape with a pulling force exerted on its free end section, preferably oriented so as to be arranged on top of the following tape section, it is possible to tear and open the said wrapping in a precise manner, at least along a certain section of its perimeter. - Prior art documents
US-A-2 268 970 ,US-A-2 042 073 andUS-A-2 942 528 all disclose an easy opening packaging of type above discussed with reference toUS-A-2 265 834 , in particular documentUS-A-2 042 073 discloses an easy-opening packaging according to the preamble of claim 1. - One object of the invention is therefore to provide an easy-opening packaging for sheet-like articles folded and arranged in a pile, which is of improved type, is easy to manufacture, prevents contamination and alteration of the packaged articles and may be easily opened in a safe and precise manner.
- These and other objects are achieved by means of an easy-opening packaging for sheet-like articles folded and arranged in a pile, as per the accompanying Claim 1 and following dependent claims.
- Further objects and advantages of invention will appear more clearly from the following detailed description provided with reference to the accompanying drawings in which, in addition to the already considered
Figure 1 : -
Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a stage involving preparation of the packaging according to the invention; -
Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the packaging according toFigure 2 during completion of the said packaging; -
Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the packaging according toFigures 2 and 3 , finished and ready for use; -
Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the packaging according toFigures 2 to 4 during opening; -
Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the packaging according to the invention, after the package has been opened. - In
Figures 2 to 6 , 10 denotes an easy-opening packaging for sheet-like articles 11 folded and arranged in apile 12, such as, for example, disposable napkins made of paper and/or other material. - According to packaging methods which do not form the subject of the present invention, the sheet-
like articles 11 are folded and arranged on top of each other so as to form theabovementioned pile 12 ofarticles 11 which consist of any predetermined number also different from that shown by way of example in the drawings. Thepile 12 is then positioned on awrapping 13 in the form of a sheet, for example obtained from a reel (not shown) of material suitable for forming the wrapping such as, for example, polypropylene or polyethylene and/or other suitable materials. Thewrapping 13 may be transparent, semi-transparent or translucent so as to facilitate identification of the sheet-like articles 11 packaged inside it. - In the example of embodiment shown in
Figure 2 atape 14 made of flexible and suitably resistant material is applied onto thewrapping sheet 13 in the longitudinal direction of unwinding from the reel. For example, thetape 14 may be made of polyester, i.e. polyethylene terephthalate, more commonly known as PET. Thetape 14 may also be coloured so as to favour identification and gripping thereof by the user. - According to another version of the invention (not shown) the
tape 14 may be applied transversely with respect to the direction of unwinding of thewrapping sheet 13 from the reel. - During manufacture of the packaging, the
tape 14 may be unwound from a reel (not shown) and fixed continuously onto the wrapping 13, for example by means of heat-sealing or using a cold adhesive already applied beforehand to thetape 14 which therefore has self-adhesive properties or by means of a thin double-sided adhesive strip inserted between thetape 14 and thewrapping sheet 13. - In order to favour tearing of the
wrapping 13 during opening, thetape 14 is applied onto the surface of thewrapping sheet 13 which is situated on the inside when the saidsheet 13 is wrapped and closed around thepile 12 ofarticles 11, so that, when thetape 14 is pulled, the opening force will act on the inside of thewrapping 13, ensuring effective and guided tearing of the said wrapping. - Owing to the longitudinal arrangement of the
tape 14 in the direction of unwinding of thewrapping 13, when thewrapping 13 is cut from the reel in order to obtain a sheet of suitable dimensions, thetape 14 is also cut together with the sheet. - The
wrapping sheet 13, together with thetape 14, is then wrapped in tubular form along a given perimeter P around thepile 12 of sheet-like articles 11 and the last outer edge portion of the wrapping in tubular form is then fixed onto the underlying wrapping, for example by means of a heat-sealing operation performed by a welder 15 (Figure 3 ) which preferably acts on the surface of thepile 12 which is formed by the perimetral sides of the sheet-like products 11 and which, for this reason, is less prone to deformation by the pressure exerted by the saidwelder 15. -
Figure 4 shows apackaging 10 containing a complete and finished pile of sheet-like articles 11, on which twofixing zones first fixing zone 16 is that where initial closure in tubular form of thepackaging wrapping 13 is performed by the saidwelder 15, while thesecond fixing zone 17 is that where projecting free edge portions of the said tubular wrapping are folded onto each other. Thissecond fixing zone 17 is formed with welders of the static or dynamic type, not shown as they are also of the known type. -
Figure 5 shows athird fixing zone 18 which is situated opposite theaforementioned fixing zone 17 and which is also formed on the other projecting free edge portions of the tubular wrapping which are then folded onto each other. - From
Figures 2 to 5 it can be seen that thewrapping 13 has anend edge portion 19 which projects from the saidsealing zone 16 and which is preferably arranged so as to project from a corner zone of thewrapping 13 so that it may be easily identified and gripped by the user along the section where theend 114 of thetape 14 is situated, thesaid edge portion 19 having along the sides of the latter incisions orcuts 20 with the aim of favouring initial tearing and therefore ensuring always easy and precise opening of the said wrapping 13. Theincisions 20 not adversely affect the sealed closure and therefore the hygienic condition of the packaging in that they involve only the section of theend edge portion 19 which is situated outside of the saidseal 16. - From
Figure 5 it can be seen that, during opening of thewrapping 13, theend section 114 of thetape 14 is folded on top of the following tape and is pulled longitudinally in the direction T so as to cause the gradual removal of this tape and consequent tearing of thewrapping 13 over part or all of the perimeter P until the desired or complete opening of thepackaging 10 is obtained, as shown, for example, inFigure 6 . From this same figure it can be seen how opening of thepackaging 10 is performed in a perfect and precise manner and how most of the said packaging remains intact so that it is also able to perform the function of a container/dispenser for thearticles 11 which may be gradually used without having to find a new container for storing them and keeping them in an orderly pile. Owing to precise opening of the wrapping, performed by thetape 14, thepackaging 10 does not have to be destroyed at the time of opening. - The easy-opening
tape 14 may be advantageously arranged in the vicinity of one end of thepackaging 10 so that, even after opening, the said packaging is able to contain in an optimum manner thearticles 11 packaged inside it. It is understood, however, that thetape 14 may also be arranged in any position on thepackaging 10, also because the operating function of this tape when opening the packaging is not influenced or favoured by vicinity thereto of one end of the saidpackaging 10. - In the embodiment shown in figures, even though the
tape 14 extends along the entire perimeter P of thepackaging 10, opening of the said packaging may be performed only over a part of its perimeter P so as to form in the said packaging a pocket which allows removal of theproducts 11 but which may then be hygienically closed. In order to obtain such a partial opening of thepackaging 10, the easy-openingtape 14 may be provided differently on only a part of the perimeter P, for example only on a portion approximately equal to half of the said perimeter of the packaging. In this way, thearticles 11 are extracted from the side where the opening is formed by pulling thetape 14 and the packaging may be partially closed again, ensuring also greater protection for the said products. In this last version of the invention, thetape 14 is applied to thewrapping 13 only over a certain section of the said wrapping in a discontinuous manner. Also in this version, thetape 14 may be applied longitudinally in a similar manner to that shown inFigure 2 , or transversely, according to a version of the invention not shown in the figures, but also falling within the scope of the invention.
