Definitions

  • FIG. 1 An in Fig. 1 illustrated tubular wrapping 10 from a flexible, sheet-like packaging material 12 envelops a tabular cargo 14, for example, a chocolate bar, and forms a front packaging 16 and a rear packaging 18.
  • a longitudinal seam 20 Transverse to the longitudinal sealing seam 20 is the tubular bag packaging, as in Fig. 3 shown, closed at both ends via a respective transverse sealing seam 22, 24.
  • an additional, separable longitudinal seam 26 is arranged parallel to the longitudinal sealing seam 20 in a lateral edge region.
  • the packaging material 12 is severed in this area and sealed overlapping. This overlapping seal is under the technical Term known as "Lap Seal".
  • the resulting from the separation of the fold 122 from the packaging material, protruding from the plane of the packaging material parts of the fold 122 are returned to the plane of the packaging material web, resulting in a narrow overlap of the first packaging material web strip 112 a with the lateral packaging material web strip 112b results.
  • the methods according to the FIGS. 12 and 13 differ only by the side of the packaging material web on which the fold 122 is formed and cut.
  • the seams in particular also the longitudinal seam (a seal), can be ultrasonically sealed.
  • the material consumption can be reduced by making the longitudinal seam narrower.
  • the heat input to the product and also the film is reduced, which reduces the risk that the film warps.
  • the design improves to the effect that the longitudinal seam, which is not required for opening, is optically less visible.
  • the other seams can also be sealed with ultrasound.

Claims (4)

  1. Emballage tubulaire (310) pour marchandises en forme de plaque (14), en particulier pour des tablettes de chocolat, en un matériau d'emballage en forme de feuille (12) formé à partir d'une bande de matière d'emballage (112), avec une face avant d'emballage (16), une face arrière d'emballage (18) présentant une soudure étanche longitudinale (20), deux soudures étanches transversales (22, 24) disposées à distance l'une de l'autre transversalement à la soudure étanche longitudinale (20) et deux zones de séparation avec chacune une soudure longitudinale (26a, 26b) s'étendant parallèlement à la soudure étanche longitudinale (20) et disposée dans les deux régions de bord de la face avant d'emballage (16) en formant une patte d'ouverture (17) s'étendant essentiellement sur toute la largeur de la face avant d'emballage (16) et étant détachable de l'emballage, pour faciliter l'ouverture de l'emballage par déchirure, caractérisé en ce que le matériau d'emballage (12) est, dans les zones de séparation, coupé parallèlement à la soudure étanche longitudinale (20) et disposé à recouvrement en formant les soudures longitudinales (26a, 26b) séparables en forme de soudures à recouvrement et est assemblé de façon détachable dans la région de recouvrement.
  2. Emballage tubulaire selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce qu'une région de bord non soudée est disposée dans au moins une soudure étanche transversale (22) en formant une languette de déchirure (23).
  3. Emballage tubulaire selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que la patte d'ouverture (17') est partiellement détachable, une ligne d'affaiblissement (25) étant disposée dans le matériau d'emballage parallèlement à la soudure étanche transversale (22) pour détacher la patte d'ouverture (17') du reste de l'emballage dans la région d'une des soudures étanches transversales (22, 24).
  4. Procédé de production d'une bande de matière d'emballage destinée à la fabrication d'emballages tubulaires selon la revendication 1, dans lequel on dévie une bande de matière d'emballage (112) en forme de segment en continu par enfoncement latéral de matériau d'emballage d'un premier angle à partir d'un premier plan et on la dévie ensuite, à une distance (s), d'un deuxième angle en sens contraire dans un deuxième plan parallèle au premier plan,
    on tranche la bande de matière d'emballage (112) dans le premier plan avant la déviation en formant un segment central de bande de matière d'emballage (112a) et deux segments latéraux de bande de matière d'emballage (112b, 112c) situés de part et d'autre du segment central de bande de matière d'emballage (112a), on transfère les parties déviées des segments latéraux de bande de matière d'emballage (112b, 112c) résultant de la double déviation du matériau d'emballage dans le deuxième plan, créant ainsi un étroit recouvrement du segment central de bande de matière d'emballage (112a) avec les segments latéraux de bande de matière d'emballage (112b, 112c), et
    on assemble les segments de bande de matière d'emballage (112a, 112b, 112c) de façon détachable dans la zone de recouvrement avec une colle ou une couche de soudage en formant des soudures longitudinales (26a, 26b) détachables sous forme de joint à recouvrement.
