Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a liquid container structure, in particular to an automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion.
- Beverages, liquid food or cleaning supplies available in the market are generally contained in containers such as plastic bottles with a bottle cap. At present, the common plastic bottle structure is an integrally formed bottle having a bottle body with an interior space for containing a liquid, a bottle mouth formed at the top of the bottle body for filling a liquid or inserting a straw to drink a beverage. Billions of plastic bottles or containers are used yearly, and the used plastic bottles or containers have tremendous impacts on environmental protection, particularly the transportation and recycle of the used empty bottles, and the follow-up treatment is very inconvenient.
- To echo the issue of environmental protection, a flexible package bag structure was introduced, and the flexible package bag can contain liquid. When a user wants to drink or use the liquid, the user simply tear open the flexible package bag to form an opening for accessing the liquid inside the flexible package bag. However, such flexible package bag structure requires a zipper bag for re-sealing. The liquid will leak if the user seals the zipper bag improperly or forgets to seal the bag. Furthermore, the zipper bag does not have a flow top function, so that after the bag is torn open to form an opening, a careful storage is required. If the bag is toppled over, the liquid in the flexible package bag will leak from the opening and result in contamination and unnecessary waste. Obviously, such conventional bag structure is very inconvenient and requires improvements. As disclosed in
U.S. Pat. No. 5,529,224 (filed on May 27, 1994 ), a self-closing liquid dispensing package is provided. The self-closing liquid dispensing package comprises a liquid container and a self-closing flat channel. The channel comprises an inlet formed adjacent to the liquid container and provided for flowing a liquid, a mouth, a first sheet member, and a second sheet member, wherein the first and second sheet members have an original planar position and longitudinal edges and are sufficiently flexible to arch away from each other to form a flow channel therebetween. At least one of said first and second sheet members is sufficiently resilient to return the first and second sheet members to their original planar position for a seal when the external pressure is released. The mouth has a lateral width greater than the lateral width of the inlet, and an additional portion is disposed between the inlet and the mouth which has a lateral width greater than said lateral width at said inlet and said lateral width at said mouth. This patented invention is characterized in that the first and second sheet members come with a specific elasticity; in other words, the first and second sheet members are made of an elastic material, thus incurring a more complicated manufacturing process and a higher level of difficulty of selecting the elastic material. If the self-closing liquid dispensing package is elastically fatigue, then there will be a possibility of leakage. - On the other hand, if the self-closing liquid dispensing package has a too-large flexibility, then the liquid may not be able to squeeze out from the liquid dispensing package. Obviously, the conventional liquid dispensing package requires improvements.
- Therefore, it is a primary objective of the present invention to provide an automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion, comprising: two outer films containing two inner films with an equal width and a smaller length of the outer films and coupled to the two outer films respectively by heat sealing to form a filling area, a storage area, and a discharge area. The discharge area includes a discharge channel, at least one inlet, a bent portion and an outlet by heat sealing, and the discharge area and heat seal dotted lines of the two outer films forms a tear portion. A stop plate is installed or a heat resisting material is coated at the inlet and the outlet when the four films are heat sealed, such that the internal sides of the outer and inner films will not be coupled face-to-face, but each inner film is coupled to each corresponding outer film by heat sealing. The tear portion having the heat seal dotted lines and notches is disposed on a side of the two inner films. After the tear portion is separated from the two inner films, the outlet of the discharge channel will be exposed.
- When the two outer films are squeezed by external forces, the pressure forces the liquid in the bag to rise, and the rising liquid will pull that section of the outer film outward to open the inlet of the discharge channel automatically, such that the liquid flows from the inlet of the discharge channel into the discharge channel and flows out from the outlet. After the external force is released, the reaction force for refluxing the liquid to the storage area produces a suction, and the discharge channel specifically comes with a bent portion for forming a flow stop effect, and a reaction force is formed or enhanced by a suction along a turning of bent portion, such that the two inner films are attached to one another to shut the discharge channel.
- When the automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion of the present invention is toppled over, there is no external pressure, so that the inlet of the discharge channel cannot be opened. In addition, the two inner films of the bent portion in the discharge channel are still attached with each other to shut the discharge channel closely, so that the liquid will not leak from the discharge channel. When use, a user simply needs to apply a force to squeeze the storage area, so that the two outer films will squeeze the liquid in the storage area liquid to rise to pull the non-stress area of the two outer films outward to naturally drive and pull the inlet of the two inner films open, so as to flow the liquid along the discharge channel to the outside by pressure.
- The automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion of the present invention achieves the effects of a simple and easily use, a reduction of wastes, protecting the environment, and automatically closing the bag since the invention no longer needs to have a traditional rotating cap or use a hand to press and control the liquid flow. When the bag is toppled over, the liquid will not flow out. The present invention just needs two inner films and two outer films to achieve the effects of the conventional liquid bottle and its rotating cap, not only lowering the manufacturing cost and providing a convenient use, but also not occupying much space, saving the material cost and reducing wastes since only two films are used. Obviously, the automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion of the present invention automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion of the present invention is the best solution of substituting the traditional liquid package.
- The invention is characterized in that when an external force is exerted onto the storage area to force the liquid to rise, such that the two outer films are pulled outward by the liquid to automatically open the inlet of the discharge guide channel, and the liquid flows towards the outlet along the bent portion of the discharge channel.

storage area 4 is coupled to the twoouter films outer films storage area 4 is formed within the heat-sealedlines - The filling
area 5 is situated between the twoouter films seal lines storage area 4. After the liquid 9 is filled into thestorage area 4, the twoouter films area 5. The sealing element is preferably the heat-sealedline 3a formed by heat sealing, but the present invention is not limited to such arrangement only, but the sealing element can be aclip chain 3h as shown inFIG. 1B , such that after a user fills the liquid 9, the user can seal the bag with theclip chain 3h. For pouring the liquid 9 out from the sealed bag, the heat-sealedline 3f is designed at the same height of aninlet 81, such that the rinsing level of the liquid caused by the pressure will not go beyond a level higher than theinlet 81 of thedischarge channel 8, and the liquid will not flow from theinlet 81 of thedischarge channel 8 to anoutlet 82. - The
discharge area 6 is formed between the twoouter films storage area 4, wherein thedischarge area 6 and the fillingarea 5 are preferably separated by the heat-sealedline 3e. - The two
inner films 1a, 1b are situated between the twoouter films outer films discharge area 6. In this preferred embodiment, the 20 width of the twoinner films 1a, 1b are the same, but the length of the twoouter films outer films inner films 1a, 1b are aligned evenly with the top end of the twoouter films inner films 1a, 1b is protruded from thedischarge area 6, and a side of the twoinner films 1a, 1b is situated in the fillingarea 5. However, structure of the present invention is not limited to such arrangement only. - The
discharge area 6 is defined by enclosing twoinner films 1a, 1b into the twoouter films discharge channel 8 by heat sealing, and 10 thedischarge channel 8 is comprised of theinlet 81, thebent portion 84, and theoutlet 82. There are three hot sealing methods, respectively: (1) Twoinner films 1a, 1b are independently and thermally sealed to form thebent portion 84, and then the twoinner films 1a, 1b and the twoouter films 2a, 2ba are provided for thermally sealing the boundary of the fillingarea 5 and thedischarge area 6, the outlet and the inlet. (2) Twoinner films 1a, 1b and oneouter film bent portion 84, 20 and the twoinner films 1a, 1b, and theouter film area 5, the boundary of thedischarge area 6, the outlet and the inlet. (3) Twoinner films 1a, 1b and twoouter films 2a, 2ba are thermally sealed to form (a) the boundary of the fillingarea 5 and thedischarge area 6; (b) theinlet 81, thebent portion 84 and theoutlet 82 of thedischarge channel 8. These three methods aims enhancing the twoinner films 1a, 1 in thebent portion 84, such that when the liquid returns into thestorage area 4, a reaction force is produced to drive the twoinner films 1a, 1b to attach with one another, wherein the magnitude of the adhesive force depends on the attaching space. In method (1), the twoinner films 1a, 1b of thebent portion 84 are not combined with the twoouter films - The
inlet 81 and theoutlet 82 of thedischarge channel 8 are thermally sealed by the following heat sealing method: - A heat resisting material is pre-coated at predetermined positions of the
inlet 81 and theoutlet 82 or a stop plate is installed at a predetermined position for thermally sealing the twoouter films outlet 82 and theinlet 81, such that internal sides of the twoinner films 1a, 1b are not coupled during the hot sealing process, but the external side of each of the twoinner films 1a, 1b is coupled to each of the corresponding twoouter films outer film outer films inner films 1a, 1b to pull the non-coupled positions at internal surfaces of the twoinner films 1a, 1b, so as to form theinlet 81 and theoutlet 82. - Since there is at least one
bent portion 84 in thedischarge channel 8 and thebent portion 84 is S-shaped, corner-turning shaped, arc shaped, lightning shaped, or W-shaped. Thebent portion 84 is provided for overcoming the resistance against the suction at the corner-turning position, and intangibly enhancing the mutual adhesion effect of the twoinner films 1a, 1b at thebent portion 84 to provide an automatic flow stop effect. In addition, arailing 85 can be installed in thebent portion 84 and used as a hydraulic throttle when the liquid has no pressure for improving the sealing effect. Further, a tear portion is provided at the position of the outer film of theoutlet 82 by pre-sealing the dotted lines of the tearingline 10a and the tearingnotch 10b. After the automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion is filled with liquid and sealed, a completely sealed liquid storage bag is produced. When use, the tearingnotch 10b is torn to expose theoutlet 82 of the two inner films dischargechannel 8, and a pressure is applied onto the bag, such that the pressure drives the level of the liquid 9 to rise and the two outer films to expand outward to naturally pull open theinlet 81 of thedischarge channel 8, and the liquid flows along theinlet 81 of thedischarge channel 8 through thebent portion 84, and discharges from theoutlet 82. When the external pressure is released, the liquid 9 returns 15 from thebent portion 84 to thestorage area 4 instantaneously. The return produces a reaction force to drive the twoinner films 1a, 1b of thedischarge channel 8 to attach with one another by suction, so as to achieve the effect of sealing thedischarge channel 8. Since there is thebent portion 84, the twoinner films 1a, 1b at thebent portion 84 will be attached with one another more securely to improve the sealing effect. If the automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion is toppled over, there is no external force, so that the liquid 9 is unable to pull open twoouter films inlet 81 of thedischarge channel 8 cannot be opened. As a result, the liquid of the toppled liquid 9 will not flow out from the bag, and the automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion has advantages on its application. - In another implementation of the automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion in accordance with the first preferred embodiment o the present invention, two inner films are installed horizontally, and a plurality of inlets is provided.
- In the first preferred embodiment, the two
inner films 1a, 1b are included horizontally in the twoouter films storage area 4, the fillingarea 5 and thedischarge area 6 are formed by heat sealing, and thedischarge area 6 includes adischarge channel 8 with adual inlet 81 , at least onebent portion 84 and atear portion 10. Theoutlet 81 of thedischarge channel 8 can be installed at an edge or in the middle. In this embodiment, theoutlet 81 is arranged at the middle of thedischarge channel 8, and thetear portion 10 can be designed at the upper section of the discharge channel as shown inFIGS. 2C and2D . - After the liquid 9 flows from the filling
area 5 into thestorage area 4, the fillingarea 5 is sealed by a sealing element. InFIGS. 5 4A and 4B , a force is applied to squeeze the twoouter films storage area 4 to force the liquid 9 to flow towards afirst side 1d of the twoinner films 1a, 1b, the twoouter films first side 1d are pulled open by the outwardly pulledouter films inlet 81 of thedischarge channel 8 automatically, so that the liquid 9 can flow from theinlet 81 into thedischarge channel 8, and then along the bent portion of thedischarge channel 8 and through 15 theoutlet 82 to the outside. - With reference to
FIG 3A for the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inner films are vertically installed flow stop structure. - Two narrow inner films are installed vertically on a side in the two outer films, and upper sections of the four films are thermally sealed at the same time, and the heat-sealed
lines bag 1 for containing liquid, and divide thebag 1 into the fillingarea 5, thedischarge area 8, thestorage area 4, and the heat-sealedline 3e. The discharge channel is formed in the discharge area and comprises aninlet 81, abent portion 84 and anoutlet 82. When theinlet 81 and theoutlet 82 are being thermally sealed, a stop plate is applied to the internal surfaces of the twoinner films 1a, 1b or a heat sealing resisting material is pre-coated, such that the internal surfaces of the twoinner films 1a, 1b are not coupled with one another during the hot sealing process, but each of the twoinner films 1a, 1b and its correspondingouter films line 10a and thenotch 10b at the tear portion and at an outer film of theoutlet 82 can be torn. The fillingarea 3a can be thermally sealed to produce a totally sealed liquid bag after the liquid is filled. For a convenient use, the tearingopening 10b can be torn to expose theoutlet 82. To enhance the effect of preventing the stored liquid from flowing out when the bag is toppled over, arailing 85 is designed at the hot-sealing section of thebent portion 84 of the discharge channel, so as to achieve the enhanced flow stop effect. In the vertical twoinner films 1a, 1b, thedischarge area 6 can be designed at the middle section on a side of the fourfilms inlet 81, thebent portion 84, theoutlet 82 and thepre-set tear portion 10. - With reference to
FIG. 3B for another implementation of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, a dual inlet and a discharge channel with a multiple of bent portions are provided. - The present invention also provides a vertical flow stop structure with a dual inlet to improve the speed of the liquid flowing out from the bag. n other words, the two perpendicular inner films are installed on a side inside the two outer films, and the heat-
seal lines liquid bag 1 for containing liquid, the fillingarea 5, thestorage area 4, and thedischarge area 6, a heat resisting material is coated at the position of the inlet and the outlet formed on the internal side of the two inner films or a stop plate is applied during the hot sealing process, such that the internal surfaces of the inner films in such area will not attach with one another during the hot sealing process, but the heat-sealedline 3f of the inner film is sealed to form a dual inlet (including anupper inlet 81 and alower inlet 81') and adischarge channel 84. - The discharge channel includes a plurality of bent portions, and combined into an
outlet 82, and the heat-sealedline 10a and the tearingnotch 10b of the outlet at the predetermined positions of the two outer 10 films can be torn open. After the liquid bag is filled with liquid, the hot-seal line 3a is thermally sealed to form a totally sealed space. In practical applications, thenotch 10b is torn open directly to expose theoutlet 82 of the twoinner films 1a, 1b, and a pressure is applied to the two outer films, such that the level of the liquid rises, and the outer films are not pressed by the pressure or opened, since the outer films at the position of the inlet of the inner films are coupled. Therefore, theinlet 82 is pulled open naturally, and the liquid 9 will flow towards theoutlet 82 of thedischarge channel 8. After the pressure is released, the liquid 9 returns to thedischarge channel 8 to produce a reaction force to drive the twoinner films 1a, 1b of thedischarge channel 8 to attach with one another and achieve the sealing and stop flow effects. - To control the level of the liquid in the bag not higher than the heat-sealed
line 3f or having no pressure at the filling section when theliquid bag 1 is squeezed, a hot-seal line 3a can be added at a height equal to the heat-sealedline 3f after the filling is completed, such that the level of the liquid 10 will not exceed the inlet of the discharge channel to optimize the condition of discharging the liquid. - With reference to
FIG. 6 for an automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion according to a third preferred embodiment of the present invention, the major difference between the first preferred embodiment and this preferred embodiment resides on that structures of the twoinner films 1a, 1b. In this preferred embodiment, a side of the twoinner films 1a, 1b is protruded from the two outer films 20 2a, 2b and exposed from the twoouter films outlet 82 of thedischarge channel 8 is formed outside the twoouter films - With reference to
FIG. 7 for an automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion in accordance with the fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention, the major difference between the first preferred embodiment and this preferred embodiment resides on the structures of the twoinner films 1a, 1b. In this preferred embodiment, the twoinner films 1a, 1b are replaced by a shorter plate instead, and the small plate is comprised of the twoinner films 1a, 1b and used to replace the foregoing horizontal or perpendicular twoinner films 1a, 1b in the twoouter films outer films seal lines bag 1. At a heat-sealedline 3e, a heat-sealed line on the second side 1e and a heat-sealedline 3f, aninlet 81 and anoutlet 82 of adischarge channel 8, and internal sides of the inner film are not coupled with one another, and abent portion 84 of thedischarge channel 8, arailing 85 of thebent portion 84, and adotted line 10a and anotch 10b at the hot-seal tear portion are formed. After the automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion is filled and completed, the filling area is sealed by the heat-sealedline 3a. When use, thenotch 10b is torn, and the dotted line of the outer film is folded to expose thedischarge channel outlet 82 to achieve the effects of squeezing the liquid out from the bag and releasing the automatic flow stop of the liquid. When the bag is toppled over, there is no external pressure, so that theinlet 81 of thedischarge channel 8 cannot be opened, and the twoinner films 1a, 1b at the bent portion in thedischarge channel 8 are still attached with one another to define the sealed status, so that the liquid stored in the bag can be prevent from flowing out along the discharge channel. - The present invention not only allows users to adjust the flow of the liquid in the bag by pressure freely, but also achieves the effects of dropping the level of the liquid to produce a reaction force at the
discharge channel 8 to attach the inner films at thebent portion 84 with each other, prevent external air from entering, and maintaining an insufficient air condition when the pressure is released. Without oxygen, the time for oxidizing any liquid food stored in the liquid bag can be extended to achieve a longer preserving time than that of the general bottles. - With reference to
FIG. 8 for an automatic liquid stop bag with a bending portion in accordance with the fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention, the major difference between the first preferred embodiment and this preferred embodiment resides on that twoinner films 1a, 1b are not installed in the twoouter films inner films 1a, 1b in the twoouter films outer films outer films seal lines area 5, the inner storage bag 4' and thedischarge channel 8, and internal sides of the twoinner films 1a, 1b are not coupled with each other, but each of the twoinner films 1a, 1b is coupled to theinlet 81 and theoutlet 82 of the twoouter films bent portion 84 in thedischarge channel 8, and arailing 85 in thebent portion 84. To prevent external forces to force the liquid in the bag to rise and damage the heat-sealedline 3f, the heat seal area adjacent to the heat-sealedline 3f can be expanded and streamlined to form a dike to reduce air resistance as well as reducing the resistance for the liquid stored in the bag to flow out from theoutlet 81. - In this preferred embodiment, the lower section of the outer film is separated from the inner film bag, and hot sealed to form an independent inner foldable bag or two independent sheets which can be used as the
support area 41 of the inner bag 4' for the two inner films, such that the bag of the present invention can be placed at an upright position.
