  • Each of the side gusset portions has opposite end portions at one of which an auxiliary gusset portion is formed.
  • the bottom gusset portion is combined with the auxiliary gusset portion.
  • the plastic bag is called a rectangular bottom bag.
  • webs of panel material are superposed on each other and fed longitudinally thereof and intermittently.
  • the panel portions are formed by the webs of panel material.

  • One of the webs of panel material 1 is then temporarily fixed to one of the layers of side gusset material 3 while the other web of panel material 2 is temporarily fixed to the other layer of side gusset material 3 at one of the end portions of side gusset material 3.
  • one of the webs of panel material 1 is folded along the longitudinal folded line 8 so that one of the layers of side gusset material 3 can be pulled by one of the webs of panel material 1 to be folded.
  • the sheet of side gusset material 3 is therefore folded at the angle of 45° at one of the end portions thereof to make the auxiliary gusset portion 7 formed when one of the layers of side gusset material 3 is folded along the longitudinal folded line 8 to make the layers of side gusset material 3 open, as also disclosed in the U.S. Patent.
  • the bottom gusset material forming means may comprises bottom gusset supply means by which a web of bottom gusset material is supplied to the webs of panel material 1 and 2 and superposed on the open surfaces of panel material 1 and 2 and auxiliary gusset portion 7 to extend longitudinally of the webs of panel material 1 and 2.
  • the plastic bag may further include a top gusset portion, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 4,108,846 .
  • the bottom gusset portion extends along the bottom edge of panel portion while the top gusset portion extends along top edge.
  • an auxiliary gusset portion is formed at the other end portion.
  • the top gusset portion is combined with the auxiliary gusset portion.
  • the plastic bag can be shaped into a rectangular parallelepiped to have an appearance of box when being filled with content.
  • the apparatus may be arranged to successively make the plastic bags of the publication.
  • one of the webs of panel material 1 is temporarily fixed to one of the layers of side gusset material 3 while the other web of panel material 2 is temporarily fixed to the other layer of side gusset material 3 not only at one of the end portions of side gusset material 3 but also at the other end portion.
  • One of the webs of panel material 1 is folded along the longitudinal folded line 8 at one of the end portions of side gusset material 3 to make the webs of panel material 1 and 2 open, make the open surface formed on the webs of panel material 1 and 2 and make the open surface formed on the layers of auxiliary gusset portion 7.
  • the web of bottom gusset material 4 is superposed on the open surfaces of panel material 1 and 2 and auxiliary gusset portion 7.
  • one of the webs of panel material 1 is folded along a longitudinal folded line at the other end portion of side gusset material 3 to make the webs of panel material 1 and 2 open, make an open surface formed on the webs of panel material 1 and 2 and make an open surface formed on the layers of auxiliary gusset portion.
  • a web of top gusset material is superposed on the open surfaces of panel material 1 and 2 and auxiliary gusset portion.
  • the webs of bottom gusset material and top gusset material and the auxiliary gusset portions are heat sealed with each other while the webs of panel material and the sheet of side gusset material are heat sealed with each other widthwise of the webs of panel material with the open surfaces kept being formed.
  • the webs of bottom gusset material and top gusset material and at least one of the webs of panel material are heat sealed with each other longitudinally of the webs of panel material with the open surfaces kept being formed.
  • the webs of bottom gusset material and top gusset material, the webs of panel material and the sheet of side gusset material are then cut widthwise of the webs of panel material with the open surfaces kept being formed.
  • the apparatus can therefore successively make the plastic bags of the publication.
