Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of sachets comprising complementary closure profiles actuated respectively on opening and closing by a cursor.
  • These bags comprise two generally parallel sheets forming its main walls, complementary closure profiles fixed on these sheets, and a slider for actuating the profiles on closing and opening.
  • the cursor has a cross-section in the form of an inverted "U", its two parallel flanks coming from both sides of the aforementioned sheets, facing the profiles.
  • a set of contiguous bags linked to each other, scrolls step by step in front of a machine regularly fed sliders.
  • Means come to bear on the sheets of the bag, to ensure perfect immobilization of the bag during installation.
  • these sheets generally have the particularity of being extremely deformable, so that despite the support of said means, there is a relative displacement of the sheet.
  • the main object of the present invention is to overcome this difficulty, by providing a pouch structure with which automated cursor laying is facilitated.
  • a secondary object of the invention is to provide a bag which, moreover, has a high seal.
  • At least one of said sheets has, on its outer face, close to the zone of grip of said cursor and parallel to the direction of movement of the latter, a strip-shaped bead constituting an extra thickness and width sufficient to locally modify the deformability.
  • the bag shown in figure 1 has a generally known structure of the document WO-A-99/65353 which has been commented on above.
  • This bag 1 has a mouth 10 and a bottom 11. It consists of two main sheets of plastic, referenced 12 and 13.
  • the two sheets 12 and 13 are provided with complementary closure profiles 2 and 3.
  • the sections 2 and 3 are respectively of the male and female type, as is well known to those skilled in the art.
  • the invention can be applied to other types of profiles, in particular of the complementary hook type.
  • the profiles 2 and 3 came from extrusion with the sheets 12 and 13 which constitute the bag.
  • these complementary profiles could be worn on support sails reported on the sheets 12 and 13, for example by hot welding or gluing.
  • the bag further comprises a slider 5 adapted to actuate the sections 2 and 3 at closing and opening.
  • the slider can be the subject of many conventional embodiments.
  • a typical example of a cursor is described in the document EP-A-0 479 661 .
  • the slider made of plastic material, comprises two lateral wings 51 and 52 (or flanks) connected to each other at a base 50 and which define with an elongated central sole (not visible ) two convergent passageways for the complementary clasping closure profiles 2 and 3.
  • At least one of the sheets 12 and 13 has on its outer face, in the vicinity of the zone of grip of the slider 5 (the slider area of the grip, the zone of the sheets 12, 13 of the bag located opposite its flanks 51 and 52), and parallel to the direction of movement of this folder, a bead 6 in the form of a strip constituting an extra thickness on the sheets, of width and thickness sufficient to locally modify the deformability .
  • each sheet 12 and 13 has a bead 6 in the form of a strip.
  • the bead is for example obtained by simple extrusion, so that it constitutes a localized excess thickness of the material of the sheets 12 and 13.
  • the bead 6 in the form of a strip locally increases the rigidity of the bag, so that support means of an automated machine can come into intimate contact with it, for a perfect immobilization.
  • the bead When the bead is attached to the sheets, it can be made in the same material as they, or in another material, preferably more rigid.
  • An example is polyethylene of medium or high density.
  • the bead 6 has a width of between 5 and 15 millimeters and a thickness between 200 and 1000 microns.
  • the upper surface of the bead may be provided with reliefs or other protuberances facilitating the gripping of the bag.
  • the bead may be made of a relatively deformable material, for example based on rubber or similar to rubber.
  • the mass that constitutes the bead stiffens locally the bag, but its characteristics resulting from its "rubbery” nature facilitate its grip.
  • the free ends 51 and 52 of the slider flanks are folded inwards to form a boss 53, 54 respectively, directed towards the opposite side.
  • the beads 6 here come of material with the sheets 12 and 13. In addition to the aforementioned function, they constitute a stop means which opposes the movement of the sheets 12 and 13 in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the cursor.
  • the space between the two beads 6 and 7 and which materializes a groove 8 is used to improve the attachment of the cursor 5.
  • flanks of the slider 5 are also provided with bosses 53 and 54 directed toward each other.
  • the elongate sole is central 55 of the cursor is visible.
  • the main walls converge towards each other in the direction of the internal space of the bag.
  • the bag also comprises additional relief means 4 which are designed to ensure sealing by forming a barrier between the sheets 12 and 13, in the closed position of the bag. They are arranged on the inside of the closure profiles.
  • these means 4 are placed on the inner face of each sheet, facing the flanks 51 and 52 of the slider 5 to be urged towards their sealing position by the slider when it is moved towards the sealing position.
  • these means 4 each consist of a plastic bead which extends parallel to the axis X-X 'of displacement of the cursor.
  • the beads extend exactly opposite one another.
  • the sheets 13 are immobilized in the general direction perpendicular to the axis X-X 'of displacement of the slider 5 by contact between the beads and the bosses 53 and 54.
