Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of sachets comprising complementary closure means.
  • these means are actuated respectively on opening and closing by a cursor.
  • These bags comprise two generally parallel webs forming their main walls, complementary closure means integral with the webs, and possibly a slider for actuating said means, on closing and opening.
  • the first is that which carries the closure means such as profiles. It is generally provided with ribs or other protruding members.
  • the second consists of the sails which later delimit either part of the closure or the walls of the bag.
  • this second area has a large extent.
  • WO 88/04634 refers to a pouch according to the preamble of claim 1 of the present application.
  • the docment US 2006/286356 is focused primarily on a pouch whose mouth is provided with a band containing active agents.
  • the present invention has for main purpose to overcome the difficulty mentioned above, by providing a bag that does not have these disadvantages.
  • the second parts of said sails are distinct entities.
  • the second parts of said sails consist of a single sheet folded on itself.
  • said closure means are molded with the corresponding first part.
  • Said closure means may, however, consist of inserts.
  • said closure means are complementary profiles.
  • said second portions of said sails themselves delimit the receptacle of this bag
  • it comprises at least one additional veil, attached to said first parts and / or second parts which delimits the receptacle of the bag.
  • This description describes a closure device that is subsequently used to make a bag.
  • the closure device 1 shown in FIG. figure 1 has a structure generally known per se in its outline. However, its embodiment is innovative.
  • It comprises an upper part 10 and a lower part 11.
  • the two webs 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. It can also be applied to other means of closure, such as those with loops and hooks, well known as Velcro (registered trademark).
  • these complementary profiles could be worn on the support strips reported on the webs 12 and 13, for example by hot welding or gluing.
  • This device has the features described below.
  • the sails 12 and 13 are in practice each consisting of two parts, namely a first part which carries one of the profiles, and a second part distinct from the first, these first and second parts being provided with mutual and complementary cooperation means 4, such as clipping means.
  • the web 12 has a first part 14 (which can be described as an upper part when considering the figure 1 ) which carries the profile 2, while the web 13 has a first part 16 which carries the profile 3.
  • the web 12 has a second part 15 while the web 13 has a second analogous part 17.
  • the lower edge of the first parts 14 and 16 is here provided with a ring 40, while the upper edge of the second parts 15 and 17 is shaped as a complementary gutter 41.
  • the rod 40 is formed of a continuous bead, for example of cylindrical section, whose diameter is greater than the thickness of the web 14 which carries it, while the channel 41 is formed of a groove with converging edges.
  • the closure device illustrated in figure 2 is distinguished from the previous only by the fact that the lower edge of the first parts 14 and 16 is provided with a channel 40 ', while the upper edge of the second parts 15 and 17 is provided with a ring 41'.
  • Such a closure device is used to make a bag. For this, one can fix the closure device on one or sheets constituting the body of the bag or even connect the edges of the webs 15 and 17 opposite to the closure profiles 2, 3 to form the bag body.
  • a closure device similar to that of the figure 1 is attached to a plastic sheet 5 which is folded back on itself.
  • a bag of a generally known type is then formed, the closure and opening of which are carried out by cooperation or lack of cooperation of the closure means 2 and 3.
  • the bag of the figure 4 overall has a structure similar to that just described with reference to the figure 3 . It differs however in that the sheet 5 is fixed not only to the lower end of the parts 15 and 17 of the webs 12 and 13 but also in their upper part, substantially in the vicinity of the closure means 2 and 3.
  • closure device illustrated on the Figure 5B presents the advantage of having a portion of sail that connects the webs 12 and 13 and thus forms an opening witness.
  • FIGS. Figures 6 to 8 The making of a bag by means of a fastening device attached to a sheet is clearly illustrated in FIGS. Figures 6 to 8 .
  • FIGs 7 and 8 relate to a similar structure except that the sheet 7 is fixed in the upper part of the closure device 1 ( figure 7 ) and both in the upper part of the closure device 1 and on the opposite faces of the sheet 6 ( figure 8 ).
  • the two-part manufacture of the closure device thus makes it possible to solve the problems encountered with the prior devices.
