Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of a flexible plastic envelope with sealing character or inviolability, closed with an adhesive closure reported.
  • the sealed envelope according to the invention finds a particularly advantageous application to ensure the packaging of articles in the general sense such as pharmaceuticals, money or documents.
  • closure adhesive protrude on both sides of the longitudinal edges of the envelope due to the difference in tension and stretchability between the film of the envelope and the closure adhesive . It follows that a small part of the glue of the adhesive protrudes beyond the longitudinal edges, which leads to the disadvantages mentioned above and the impossibility of using these envelopes in an automated dispensing system or collection.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to overcome the disadvantages of the state of the art by providing a flexible plastic envelope provided with a continuously deposited closure adhesive, such an envelope having on the one hand, a character sealing after removal of the protective strip and, on the other hand an absence of burrs glue which is, moreover, adapted to ensure a good closure of the envelope.
  • the invention relates to a sealed envelope comprising at least two superposed sheets of flexible material assembled together on its edges by at least one weld, at least one access passage to the inner volume of the envelope being arranged by extending recessed with respect to two opposite edges of the envelope, the access passage being intended to be closed by means of a closure adhesive comprising glue interposed between a support and a protective strip detachable having opposite longitudinal edges, the closure adhesive being fixed by one of its transverse edges to a sheet of the envelope by fastening means to form a pivoting flap, so that after the removal of the protective tape and the crimping of the adhesive on the envelope, the glue completely surrounds the access passage,
  • the support of the closure adhesive is a printed support to form a security adhesive.
  • the closure adhesive is attached to the envelope by means of fastening means made by a part of the glue of the closure adhesive.
  • the closure adhesive is attached to the envelope by means of fastening means made by a weld.
  • closure adhesive is reported at least in part on the outside of the envelope.
  • the glue extends back 3 to 10 mm from the edges of the support and the protective strip.
  • the glue extends recessed with respect to at least one transverse edge of the support and the protection, this transverse edge extending perpendicular to the opposite edges of the support.
  • the access passage to the internal volume of the envelope is made by a slot in one of the sheets or by a free space between the two sheets of the envelope.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a continuous manufacturing process of sealed envelopes with welded edges each provided with at least one access passage to its internal volume and intended to be closed using a adhesive closure reported and comprising glue interposed between a support and a detachable protective strip.
  • the object of the invention relates to an envelope 1 sealed character for holding articles of any kind, not shown.
  • the envelope 1 comprises two superposed sheets 2, 3 of flexible material preferably recyclable, such as polyethylene.
  • the envelope 1 is delimited by two longitudinal edges 4 and 5, parallel to each other, and by two transverse edges 6 and 7, taken into consideration only of the elongated shape of the envelope.
  • the envelope 1 is made of a flexible plastic sheet folded or folded along the transverse edge 6 which thus forms the bottom of the envelope.
  • a weld 8 makes it possible to close the two longitudinal edges 4 and 5 as well as the transverse edge 7 extending opposite the bottom 6.
  • the envelope 1 comprises a passage 9 for access to the internal volume of the envelope 1.
  • the access passage 9 is made by a slot in the sheet 2, parallel and close to the transverse edge 7. The slot 9 extends back from the longitudinal edges 4 and 5.
  • the envelope 1 is made by a sheet folded or folded along a transverse edge.
  • the sheet is folded or folded along a longitudinal edge, which leads to achieve a weld on the two transverse edges and the longitudinal edge opposite the back edge.
  • the envelope 1 can be formed by the superposition of two sheets joined by welding along four of their edges.
  • the transverse or longitudinal descriptions for the edges are used for the sake of clarity in relation to the rectangular shape of the envelope illustrated, but it is clear that the subject of the invention applies to an envelope of different shape, for example the access passage 9 is delimited along a longitudinal edge between two transverse edges of which one or both are assembled by welding.
  • the access passage 9 is made by a slot.
  • the access passage 9 can be achieved by the space left free between the two sheets of the envelope.
  • the access passage 9 is intended to be sealingly closed by means of a closure adhesive 11 comprising glue 12 interposed between a support 13 and a detachable protective strip 14.
  • This closure adhesive 11 is attached. outside the envelope on a sheet of the envelope namely on the outer face of the sheet 2 in the example shown in FIGS. Fig. 1 to 4
  • attachment means 15 of any known type namely, for example by gluing or welding.
  • the closure adhesive 11 is attached entirely to the outer face of the sheet 2. It can be provided in the case where the access passage 9 is delimited between the two sheets 2 , One of which is provided with a flap, to fix the closure adhesive 11 on the flap face which forms the inner face of said sheet and on the outer face of the other sheet. In this case also, the closure adhesive 11 is attached to the outside of the envelope.
  • fastening means 15 are adapted to ensure the fastening of the closure adhesive 11 along one of its transverse edges so that the closure adhesive 11 is articulated with respect to the envelope 1.
  • the fastening means 15 are made by a part of the adhesive 12 of the closure adhesive 11.
  • the protective strip 14 does not completely cover the adhesive 12.
  • the protective strip 14 has a surface smaller than the surface covered by the adhesive or a substantially equal surface being offset with respect to the surface covered by the adhesive. glue.
  • the protective strip 14 has a fold 14 1 facilitating its removal.
  • the glue 12 is formed by one or more flat areas and / or glue beads, made by one or more glue formulations.
  • the glue 12 is solvent-free hot melt type.
  • the adhesive 12 is adapted to ensure, after the removal of the protective strip 14 and the folding of the adhesive on the envelope, a seal by assembling the support 13 with the sheet 2 in the illustrated example ( Fig. 3-4 ). Indeed, the glue 12 completely surrounds the slot 9 to seal the envelope.
  • the support 13 and the detachable protective strip 14 comprise two longitudinal edges 13 4 , 13 5 and 14 4 respectively , 14 5 extending to the longitudinal edges 4, 5 of the envelope.
  • the distance namely the width in the example considered taken between the two longitudinal edges 4, 5 is equal to the width separating the longitudinal edges 13 4 , 13 5 of the support 13 and the width of the longitudinal edges 14 4 , 14 5 of the detachable protective strip 14.
  • the support 13 and the detachable protective strip 14 have two transverse edges respectively 13 6 , 13 7 and 14 6 , 14 7 connecting to the longitudinal edges 13 4 , 13 5 and 14 4 , 14 5 .
  • the transverse edges 13 6 , 13 7 , 14 6 , 14 7 extend continuously over a measurement equal to the width of the envelope.
  • the protective strip 14 is unitary or formed by a single piece between its two opposite longitudinal edges 14 4 , 14 5 , in the sense that this protective strip 14 is completely removed by once, before folding on the envelope, the support 13. The complete removal of the protective strip 14 at one time facilitates the closing operation while ensuring a secure application flat support 13 on the envelope to obtain a perfect seal.
  • the glue 12 of the closure adhesive extends back from the longitudinal edges 13 4 , 13 5 and 14 4 , 14 5 of the support 13 and the detachable protection 14.
  • the glue 12 is thus arranged to completely surround the slot 9 while extending at a distance from the edges 4, 5 so as not to overflow the longitudinal edges 4, 5 or to form burrs.
  • the slot 9 extends back from the weld 8.
  • the glue 12 can thus extend outside the weld avoiding heating and creep outside the support.
  • the adhesive 12 extends backwards from 3 to 10 mm with respect to the longitudinal edges 13 4 , 13 5 , 14 4 , 14 5 of the support and the detachable protective strip.
  • the adhesive 12 extends backwards with respect to at least and preferably both transverse edges of the support 13 6 , 13 7 and the protection 14 6 , 14 7 in order to avoid an overflow glue likely to cause a collage with another layered envelope.
  • the support 13 of the closure adhesive is a printed support for forming a security adhesive.
  • This support 13 is printed with at least one color ink and a detachable varnish allowing the detachment of certain inked areas of the support 13 (for example text, square, shape, logos, etc.) which remain stuck on the sheet of the envelope if an attempt is made to open the adhesive, thus making it possible to visualize an opening.
  • the support 13 may comprise tearing primers to allow viewing an attempt to open. It should be noted that these tear primers are made so as not to weaken the support 13 according to its width between its longitudinal edges 13 4 , 13 5 to allow continuous deposition as will be explained in the following description.

  • the method according to the invention aims at producing a closure adhesive 11 comprising glue 12 interposed between a support 13 and a detachable protective strip 14 having a length at least equal to the sum of the widths of the series of envelopes 1 to make.
  • the closure adhesive 11 is made with discontinuities 20 for the glue 12 so as to present between two successive discontinuities, an adhesive zone 12 of width less than that of an envelope.
  • This closure adhesive 11 is fixed continuously on the outside of the envelopes attached so that the discontinuities 20 are positioned at the edges 4, 5 of the envelopes. In other words, the closure adhesive 11 is positioned so that the glue 12 is set back from the edges of the envelopes, as explained above.
  • the closure adhesive 11 has, of course, sufficient strength to allow its positioning on the envelopes and in particular, during its unfolding and positioning on the envelope from its place of manufacture.
  • the method comprises simultaneously separating two consecutive envelopes and cutting the closure adhesive 11 extending between the two consecutive envelopes. It must be considered that the cutting of the closing adhesive 11 is carried out simultaneously during the separation of the envelopes being carried out continuously on the manufacturing machine.
  • the welding, the separation of the envelopes and the cutting of the adhesive can be carried out by any of the known techniques.
  • the hot blade simultaneously welds and cuts the envelopes and the closure adhesive 11.
  • the welding head simultaneously cuts the envelopes and the closing adhesive 11 when producing mixed welds.
  • the edges of the envelope are subject to a wide or mixed weld, it is carried out after the welding operation and the fixing of the closure adhesive 11, to the simultaneous cutting of two consecutive envelopes and closing adhesive 11 connecting said consecutive envelopes.
  • each casing 1 is provided with a closure adhesive 11 fixed along one of its transverse edges on the outside of the casing, extending continuously between the two longitudinal edges 4, 5 of the casing. 'envelope.
  • the detachable protective strip 14 and the support 13 have a continuous width equal to the width of the envelope taken between its longitudinal edges 4, 5.
  • the detachable protective strip 14 thus extends without interruption or breaking zone on the entire width of the envelope to allow complete removal at one time.
  • the glue 12 is set back from the longitudinal edges of the envelope.
  • the pivoting or articulated mounting of the closing adhesive 11 makes it possible to release access to the access passage 9 while facilitating the closing operation by pressing the support 13 on the envelope without any formation of folds to ensure a good seal.
