  • the EP 0 340 381 A2 has a film folded on the inside of the bag, which forms a chute.
  • the invention has the object, in a film bag with the features described above, the removal opening, which is formed by tearing a line of weakness in the gusset to enlarge.
  • the weakening line has a horizontal portion and two subsequent vertical sections below that on the inside of the bag an at least two-ply folded cover sheet is attached, which bordered one of the weakening line Connects film tabs with the bag wall, and that the limited by the line of weakness film tabs can be pulled out after cutting the line of weakness as a chute, wherein the bag inside unfolded cover unfolds and thereby increases the pouring opening of the chute.
  • the horizontal portion of the weakening line preferably extends substantially across the width of the gusset. To use the package, the chute is separated from the bag wall along its horizontal portion as well as along its vertical portions.
  • the folds of the cover film arranged on the inside of the bag are unfolded and create a large pouring opening.
  • the pouring opening depends on the width of the covering film unfolding during use.
  • the product opening can be adapted to the Scblinigenschaften the contents, the adjustment is independent of the bag size and the dimensions of the gussets of the film bag.
  • cover film strips are arranged on the inside of the bag, each covering a vertical section of the weakening line and being fastened to the bag wall on one side of its fold on the film flap which can be pulled out as a chute and on the other side of its fold
  • the cover film may also be formed as a foil sheet, which is mounted on the film tabs and folded into edge zones, wherein the folds in the edge zones of the cover bridge the vertical portion of the introduced into the bag wall line of weakness and are secured at its free end to the bag wall.
  • the weakening line in the bag wall preferably consists of a perforation so that the force required to open is not too great. Nevertheless, to ensure gas tightness of the bag packaging, there are several ways of further design of the foil bag.
  • a variant embodiment provides that the covering film protrudes at the upper end of the film flap and covers the horizontal section of the weakening line.
  • the section covering the line of weakness is fastened to the bag wall and has a substantially gastight separating seam for tearing open the covering film.
  • the cover film is preferably multi-layered and has a cut seam produced by laser cutting which only partially cuts through the cover film, wherein at least one layer of the cover film is uninjured.
  • the cover film ends at the upper edge of the film flap, wherein the horizontal portion of the line of weakness is covered by a strip which is attached above the line of weakness on the bag wall and by a peelable, easy-open connection with the film flap and / or the attached on the film cloth cover foil is connected.
  • the folded section of the covering film prefferably has a constant width extending over the entire length.
  • a contrast preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the folding of the cover at its upper end is wider than at its lower end, so that the chute in the open state substantially over its entire length has a fully unfolded, smooth side surface.
  • the film tab is also limited at its lower end by a line of weakness and thereby completely separated from the bag wall.
  • the cover foil bridges the lower weakening line and is also fastened to the bag wall underneath the separable foil flap.
  • the foil section bridging the lower weakening line is likewise at least double-layered folded and unfolds when pulling out the chute.
  • the chute forms a large-volume bag with cuboidal shape, with which also coarse-sized contents can be removed easily.
  • the film bag according to the invention preferably further comprises pulling aids, which are easy to grasp by hand and facilitate the tearing of the gusset along the line of weakness.
  • pulling aids which are easy to grasp by hand and facilitate the tearing of the gusset along the line of weakness.
  • the film tab is provided with a punch, which limits a pulling aid in the form of a tab or loop, wherein the punched opening is covered by the cover film bag inside.
  • a closure element can be fastened to the film flap with which the film flap can be fixed to the bag wall after the first use of the chute.
  • a closure element for example, an adhesive tape can be used.
  • a closure element is also a stiff film strip, which projects beyond the upper edge of the film flap and engages behind the adjacent bag wall. The stiff film strip can be attached to the inside of the bag.
  • the film strip forming the closure element is fastened to the outside of the film flap and has a section which is not connected to the film flap and serves as a pulling aid.
  • the embodiments described are cost-effective measures to prevent accidental opening of the chute after first use. If high demands on the reclosure, can be provided on the inside of the gusset also zipper closure.
  • the invention relates to flat film bags for packaging pourable filling material, which are filled at its upper, open end and then sealed by a transverse sealing seam.
  • the closed film packaging is essentially gas and water vapor-tight.
  • the figures show the filled packages and their handling.
  • the illustrated film packages each consist of a film bag 1, which has a bag wall 2 with a front surface, a back surface and inserted between the front surface and the back surface gussets.
  • One of the gussets is provided with a weakening line 3 for opening the gusset.
  • the weakening line 3 has a substantially over the width of the side gusset extending horizontal portion 3a and two subsequent lower side vertical portions 3b.
  • a double-ply folded cover 4 is attached, which connects a bounded by the line of weakness 3 film tabs 5 with the bag wall 2.
  • the gusset along the weakening line 3 is opened.
  • the limited by the line of weakness 3 film tabs 5 can be pulled out after severing the line of weakness 3 as chute 6, wherein the bag inside attached cover 4 unfolds and thereby increases the pouring opening of the chute 6 ( Fig. 1b ).
  • the Fig. 2 shows a view of the inside of the in the Fig. 1a and 1b shown foil bag 1, namely a plan view of the bordered by the line of weakness 3 film tabs 5 and attached to this cover 4.
