Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for emptying a bag, which has at least one covered with a bottom cover sheet cross bottom, which has a substantially rectangular shape and is glued from narrow side walls on folding lines corner folds and wide side walls folded over fold lines bottom flaps, wherein the bottom flaps overlap each other in an overlap area and are interconnected in the overlap area.
  • the invention further relates to a bag, which is formed by at least one material layer, which is formed into a closed, malleable to a substantially rectangular cross section with narrow side walls and wide side walls hose having at a first end a closable filling opening and at least one its ends are glued to a cross-bottom with corner flaps angled from the narrow side walls and bottom flaps angled from the broad side walls, the flaps overlapping each other in an overlapping area and interconnected in the overlap area as upper and lower flaps, and wherein the cross-bottom covered by a ground cover sheet.
  • a bag according to the respective preamble of claim 1 and claim 5, is made DE 2323 726 known.
  • a cross bottom can be provided on both ends of the bag tube, wherein in particular one of the cross bottoms, a valve is used, so that a fillable by a bag filling machine valve bag is formed.
  • a valve is used, so that a fillable by a bag filling machine valve bag is formed.
  • a filled bag should be sealed as tightly as possible to avoid dusting of material even when dusty.
  • the bag When the filled bag has been transported to its destination where the bottled product is to be used, the bag is torn open to dump or otherwise remove the bottled material. Since the bag bottom consists of numerous layers that have been glued together, the bag bottom is not suitable for the tearing process. The tearing of the bag below the bottom takes place in the tubular material of the jacket wall of the bag. In a free tearing it is more common that the crack produced does not extend in the desired manner transverse to the longitudinal axis of the bag, but is formed obliquely with a component in the axial direction.
  • a remedy may be that the bag is opened with a sharp cutting instrument in the form of a pair of scissors or a knife.
  • a disadvantage of this is the resulting time required for the opening of the bag and the fact that for the opening of the bag always an extra provided and functional held aids is required.
  • EP 1 033 311 A2 discloses a cross bottom in which the bottom flaps are glued together. The so closed bottom is covered with a ground cover sheet which is glued to the parts of the floor with a conventional glue. In this bag, a tear strip is incorporated so that the bag can be torn open at the corner impact. This construction provides for the incorporation of the pull tab, which makes the construction more expensive. In addition, accidental tearing is also possible due to the unfortunately jammed pull tab.
  • JP 61-153731 A and US 7,285,082 B1 disclose cubic carton packages in which a corner in the region of a narrow side wall are provided with tear lines through which part of the wall can be torn off from the packaging. Through the opening thus formed can then be removed in the bottom area packed items or bulk material from the packaging are distributed overhead. For a generic bag, such a removal of wall elements is not suitable.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to enable the emptying of a bag without tools and without the risk of hardly avoidable contamination.
  • the tearing of the bag for the purpose of its emptying in the bottom area is carried out by the bottom cover sheet is at least partially deducted from the overlapping bottom flaps.
  • This peeling off can be assisted by a suitable gluing of the bottom cover sheet and / or by providing the bottom cover sheet with a peel-off aid, for example in the form of a tear-off strip.
  • the inventive method thus allows the formation of a discharge opening in the region of the bottom, wherein the tearing process occurs during detachment of the bottom cover sheet and tearing of the bottom flaps in the bottom region and therefore is uncritical for the bottled in the bag product. Any oblique tears remain in the bottom area and do not cause unintentionally bottled product leaking from the bag.
  • the inventively designed discharge chute allows a safe dumping of the product from the bag, the limitation of the discharge chute is not made by torn bag walls, but taking advantage of the cut edges produced in the production of the bag.
  • a bag of the type mentioned above is further characterized in that the bottom cover sheet is peelable from a narrow side wall at least over a portion of the cross bottom on the respective Eckeinschlag addition that at least the upper of the bottom flaps in a no longer lying on the corner hitting area at least one tear-open to separate a portion of the bottom flaps, so that the separated parts of the bottom flaps together with the outwardly drawn corner hump form a discharge chute.
  • the peelability of the ground cover sheet can be assisted by suitable bonding of the ground cover sheet to the ground.
  • a bond between the ground cover sheet and the corner impact may be provided, which does not continue in the region of the bottom flaps.
  • the peelability of the bottom cover sheet may be further assisted by a tear strip in the bottom cover sheet.
  • the recess of the bottom flap which is provided as a tear-open, is limited to less than half the length of the bottom flaps.
  • the incision extends only over the area in which the two bottom flaps overlap one another, so that the incision does not impair the tightness of the cross base for transporting the product from the filling station to the place of use.
  • the present invention is particularly suitable for sacks made of easily rupturable materials, such as kraft paper sacks.
  • the sacks can also be designed in multiple layers.
  • the present invention can also be implemented on suitable plastic bags, in particular if the tear-open aid possibly extends over the entire length of the tear lines.
  • perforation lines, in particular slot perforations come into consideration as tear-open aids.
  • FIG. 1 shows a tubular jacket wall 1 of a bag, which is folded on two sofaltlinien 2, 3 for flattening the layers of the jacket wall 1 to each other.
  • the tubular jacket wall 1 is formed from a flat material by folding on the sofaltlinien 2, 3 and connected, for example by a Leksverklebung to the closed tube in an overlapping region.
  • the Leksverklebung is not shown in the drawing.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates that the cut off from an endless material hose at both ends with a cross-bottom 4, 5 is provided.
  • the in FIG. 1 illustrated bottom cross-base 5 consists of two opposing Eckein advocatesn 6 and two opposing bottom flaps 7, which thus form the cross-shaped material of the cross-bottom 5.
  • the bottom flaps 7 are shown hatched on their insides Bonding zones 8, 9 are provided, of which the adhesive zones 8, the connection with the corner weft 6 and the adhesive zone 9, the connection of the folding over each other after folding bottom flaps 7 together.
  • a valve 10 Over one of the corner fences 6 is in FIG. 1 symbolically illustrated a valve 10, which may be formed in one of the numerous known embodiments.
  • the valve 10 which may for example consist of a tubular folded insert sheet is inserted into the ground before folding the bottom flaps 7 and thus firmly connected to the ground.
  • the valve 10 the filling of the bag by means of a (not shown) filler of a (not darg Robinsonen) filling machine.
  • cross bottom 4 is inventively designed so that it can be done emptying the bag.
  • the cross bottom 4 is also formed by corner lugs 11 and bottom flaps 12.
  • the bottom flaps 12 of angled with the layers of the cylindrical jacket wall 1 by means of fold lines 13, 14.
  • Corresponding fold lines 13, 14 continue in the area of the corner laps 11. Since the corner bumps 11 has been formed after the folding of the cylindrical jacket wall 1 to a flat hose along the sofaltlinien 2, 3, set the Sfaltlinien 2, 3 in the Eckein advocates 11 as central fold lines 2 ', 3' away.
  • the triangular corner folds 11 extend in one-piece connection into the region of the bottom flaps 12, so that the bottom flaps 12 are double-walled by the sections of the corner folds 11 beyond the fold lines 13, 14.
  • bottom flaps 12 are provided on their inside with adhesive surfaces 15, 16, by the folding of the bottom flaps 12 about the fold lines 13, 14, an adhesive bonding of the bottom flaps 12 with the central portions of the Eckeindite 11 on the one hand and between the overlapping Regions of the bottom flaps 12 on the other hand is produced.
  • the bottom flap 12 After the bottom flap 12 has been folded around the fold line 14 and adhered to the weft 11, the bottom flap 12 is folded around the fold line 13. With the adhesive surfaces 15, 15 'is an adhesion of not yet covered by the other bottom flap 12 portion of the impact 11 and the overlapping region of the two bottom flaps 12 together. To complete the bonding of the two bottom flaps 12 with each other, the strip-shaped adhesive surface 16 which extends parallel to the fold lines 13, 14 serves.
  • the two bottom flaps 12 have outside of the right Eckeinschlags 11 perpendicular to their free edges extending short cuts 17, which thus extend parallel to the free edge of the adjacent Eckeinschlags 11.
  • the cuts 17 extend only in the overlapping region of the two folded bottom flaps 12.
  • the bottom cover sheet 18 in this embodiment covers the complete bottom of the bag after it has been formed after filling into a substantially rectangular cross-section as shown in FIGS FIGS. 2 to 5 is shown.
  • the bottom cover sheet 18 has on one of the short side a V-shaped adhesive surface 19, by which a bonding of the bottom cover sheet 18 takes place with a central region of the associated corner impact 11. However, this bond 19 keeps a clear distance to the adjacent bottom flap 12th
  • the bottom cover sheet 18 is provided on its inside with adhesive surfaces 20 which extend as longitudinally extending strips to the adhesive surface 19 and as a transverse front-side connecting strip on the bottom cover sheet 18.
  • the bottom cover sheet 18 is provided with an elongated tear strip 21 which is disposed approximately centrally in the bottom cover sheet and can extend over its full length.
  • FIG. 2 shows that from the blank according to FIG. 1 formed sack, which has the cross bottom 4 on its upper side.
  • the bottom cover sheet 18 has been removed by means of its tear strip 21 from the material of the corner impact 11 and the bottom flaps 12, so that the recess 17 of the upper bottom flap 12 is exposed.
  • the tear strip 21 ensures that in the area occupied by him no (unwanted) bonding between ground cover sheet 18 and sack bottom takes place.
  • FIG. 2 indicates that the ground cover sheet 18 is provided in the illustrated embodiment with a free stamped support strip 22.
  • FIG. 3 The next step of opening the bag for emptying is in FIG. 3 shown.
  • a portion 12 'of the bottom flap 12 can bend around the fold line 13 upwards.
  • the incision 17 of the lower bottom flap 12 is exposed.
  • the bottom bottom flap is also torn open by means of the incision 17 to the fold line 14, whereby a portion 12 'of the bottom flap 12 can also be bent.
  • the upwardly bent portions 12 'of the bottom flaps 12 are predominantly formed two layers, as they have a convolution with parts of the corner impact 11 are connected.
  • the central region of the corner impact 11 can now be bent upwards around a folding line 23, as shown in FIG. 5 is shown.
  • a dispensing channel 24 is formed which is bounded by three sections of material 25, 25', 25 "The sections of material 25, 25 'and 25" are at the top limited in the manufacture of the bag cut smooth edges, so that a defined discharge chute 24 is. Since the material portion 25 is provided with a portion of the fold line 3, the discharge chute 24 can be easily formed by a V-shaped fold on the fold line 3 a triangular discharge chute 24 in the form of a V. As a result, targeted pouring of the product filled into the bag can be ensured even with small amounts of dumping.
  • a defined discharge chute 24 made of the material of the crossbeam 4 can be produced, which allows a defined pouring the product out of the bag without the risk of contamination. In particular, the handling of highly polluting or even toxic materials is greatly facilitated.
  • the formation of the discharge chute 24 provided cross bottom 4 is located on the opposite end of the cylindrical casing wall 1, where the provided with a valve 10 cross-bottom 5 is formed.
  • the inventive formation of the discharge chute 24 can just as well be done in the cross-bottom 5, which is provided with a valve 10 for filling the product in the bag.
  • the arrangement of a bottom cover sheet 18 with a carrying handle 22 on the opposite end of the valve 10 of the bag has the advantage that when carrying the bag, the product weight is on the valve 10 and this, if necessary, closes.
  • a corresponding emptying opening for forming a discharge chute 24 can also be provided in a cross-bottom 5 provided with a valve 10.
