Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a bag with a gusset.

The invention further relates to a method for producing a bag according to the first paragraph.

BACKGROUND

Such a bag mentioned above, for example, in the published utility model DE 20 2006 020 724 U1 disclosed. The pouch described therein has a side fold placed between a front wall and a back wall and a reclosure disposed on the inside for forming a reclosable chute in the side fold. Due to the location of the reclosure on the inside of the gusset, a user of the pouch must open the chute through an opening in the side fold with at least one finger or fingernail to extract a portion of the gusset to form the chute the reclosure opens. Accompanying this contamination of the finger or the fingernail is unavoidable, because after repeated removal of eg granular or powdery packaged goods, such as animal feed, residues of the packaged goods at the edge of the reclosure and in the region of the edge of the opening are practically unavoidable. The same applies to the closing of the reclosure, in which also the area of the side fold immediately adjacent to the opening, in particular the area having to touch the folded edge, in order to achieve a strong compression of cooperating closure elements of the reclosure to this reliable and substantially close tightly. In addition, the open chute can in terms of their Stabilize shape only by a relatively difficult to metering compression of the gusset.

It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a bag in such a way and to provide a method for its production, that the above-mentioned problems are avoided.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This object is achieved on the one hand by a bag according to claim 1 and on the other hand by a method according to claim 14.

The subject of the invention is therefore a bag made of a film and a front wall and a rear wall and a head portion and a foot portion and at least one gusset extending longitudinally between the head portion and the foot portion connecting the front wall to the back wall having an outer side and an inner side, the side gusset having an opening portion with an inner closure reseal to form a reclosable chute, and having actuating means for actuating the reclosure disposed adjacent to the gusset portion on the gusset, the actuating means including a grip portion for engaging and a fastening portion for securing the reclosure Attach the handle portion to the gusset have.

In addition, the subject of the invention is a method for manufacturing a bag made of a film and a front wall and a rear wall and a head portion and a foot portion and at least one longitudinally between the head portion and the foot portion connecting the front wall to the rear wall connecting Gusset having an outer side and an inner side, the method comprising the steps of: defining an opening area in a region of the film intended to form the gusset, and applying a reclosure in the area of the opening area on the inside of the film in the formation the gusset provided portion of the film, and arranging actuating means for actuating the reclosure within the provided for forming the gusset portion of the film, wherein the actuating means are arranged on the gusset adjacent to an opening portion and wherein the actuating means a handle portion for Attack and have a mounting portion, with which attachment region of the handle portion is attached to the gusset.

The various walls of the bag may be present as individual wall segments and joined together by gluing or sealing their edges. Also, extrusion seams are possible. Also, a film may be formed into a tube and contacting edges of the film sealed together to make the bag. In addition, in such a tube shape by folding the tube wall, a side fold or two side folds can be produced. At such fold edges and the structure of the bag reinforcing longitudinal sealing seams may be formed.

The head area and / or the foot area can be flat-shaped or realized in the form of a fin.

The opening region can be formed by an opening already prefabricated in the film, for example by punching out a film part, or by a cut. On the other hand, the opening region can also be formed by an originally closed part of the film, which is opened only when the bag is first opened or removed from the bag. The opening region may have a weakening of the material that delimits the opening, which weakening of the material defines a region of a flap that can be completely or partially released from the lateral fold, wherein after removal of the tab, a chute can be formed. The weakening of the material can be produced by the action of a laser beam or by the production of a perforation or embossing. There may also be a combination of these measures. The material weakening may be a continuous line or in the form of a broken line. However, the opening may also already be incorporated in the film and this opening may be closed by an additional closing tab applied on the outside of the film, which has to be torn away from the opening in order to open it. In both cases, an original packed condition can be detected when the opening is completely closed, so there is no damage to the tab. In the method of manufacturing the bag, the opening area may be defined prior to processing the film into a bag, for example during its manufacture. However, the opening area can also be defined in the course of processing the film into a bag.

A chute is formed with the opening opened through a portion of the gusset adjacent to the opening portion, which is pulled away from another portion of the gusset which is on the opposite side of the opening portion, or drawn out of the area between the front wall and the rear wall.

As a film, a single-layer film or a multi-layer film can be used. A multilayer film may e.g. be made by laminating or coextrusion.

The inventive measures is achieved in an advantageous manner that an opening and closing of the chute without an intervention in the chute or a contact with the gusset in the region of the chute and thus without contamination of the finger or the fingernail of a user is feasible. In addition, not only can an ergonomically preferred opening of the reclosure but also a reliable closing of the reclosure be achieved. This is because, with the actuating means of one of the parts of the reclosure, which is connected to that part of the gusset, which also interact with the actuating means is actuated, and thus the necessary pressure even in the inner regions of the gusset just at a central fold line the gusset is achieved in order to achieve a coherent connection of the elements of the reclosure also at this critical area. This has proven to be particularly advantageous in the use of Velcro fasteners, because these, once you are at a point outside the fold against each other in the longitudinal direction of the reclosure offset engagement with each other, no longer along their longitudinal direction can slide along each other, as for example in a zipper would be the case. Once unfavorable, because anchored asymmetrically to each other, open areas between the Velcro elements can arise. If, with the aid of the measure according to the invention, sealing in the fold edge is first carried out, then the regions of the elements of the reclosure extending thereon to the left and right, which run substantially along planar parts of the side fold, can anchor themselves only as intended. Thus, an undesired initial offset of the two elements of the reclosure is reliably prevented when a closure at the location of the kink of the reclosure, ie at the location of the fold line of Gusset is primarily forced, which is given by the use of the actuating means. This is particularly advantageous in the case of a bag which remains closed on the head side during its use. Namely, in such a bag, the user can not freely engage in the gusset or between the adjacent front and rear walls from above or visually inspect the correct position of the reclosing elements from above. Also, the shape and / or the size or opening width of the chute can be well stabilized and dynamically changed during the pouring out of the packaged goods.

Further, particularly advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and the following description. In this case, the method can also be developed according to the dependent claims to the bag or vice versa, the bag according to the dependent claims for the process. Benefits that have been discussed in connection with a claim of one category are also valid for those of the other category.

The measures according to the invention have proved to be particularly advantageous if the reclosure has a closure area covering the opening area and bordering areas adjacent to it, and this is fixed along its edge with the opening of a contiguous area on the inside of one gusset and if both in the contiguous area on the inside of a side fold fixed first Velcro as well as a cooperating, are fixed to the Verschließlasche second Velcro strip are arranged. Since the second Velcro fastener fastened to the inner side of the closing flap can not be engaged behind from the outside in order to press it against the first Velcro strip, it is particularly important that the first Velcro strip be reliably guided to the correct position with the aid of the actuating means and be there with sufficient Force on the second Velcro tape is pressed. The two Velcro strips can be designed differently. Preferably, the first and second Velcro strips are identical. Preferably, the first Velcro strip extends under the opening over its entire length. It is expedient that the second Velcro strip is fixed on the first Velcro side facing the Verschließlasche. In order to enable a continuous dumping of packaged goods, the edge of the closing flap fixed to the inside of the side fold runs in reverse U-shaped, wherein the U-web is oriented and arranged in the direction of the head region and the two U-legs adjoining the U-web extend downwards in the direction of the foot region. The first and second Velcro then preferably extend between the two U-legs of the edge of the closure flap. The first and second Velcro strips can be fixed to the inside of the side fold or to the first Velcro side facing the Verschließlasche by gluing or sealing, wherein in the case of sealing two adjacent to the closure elements of the Velcro arranged sealing flanges by sealing with the inside are connected.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the opening region may have a material weakening which delimits the opening, which weakening of the material defines a region of a flap that can be completely or partially released from the lateral fold, wherein after removal of the tab the chute can be shaped. The weakening of the material can be produced by the action of a laser beam or by the production of a perforation or embossing. There may also be a combination of these measures. The material weakening may be a continuous line or in the form of a broken line. However, the opening may also already be incorporated in the film, and this opening may be closed by an additional closing tab applied on the outer wall of the film, which has to be torn away from the opening in order to open it. In both cases, an original packed condition can be detected when the opening is completely closed, so there is no damage to the tab.

According to a first embodiment, the grip area is oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction. The grip area is preferably positioned transversely to the longitudinal direction, centrally to the side fold. The gusset has a longitudinally extending central fold line and the handle portion is folded according to the fold line. This has the advantage that the grip area can be inconspicuously integrated in the gusset.

According to this embodiment, the mounting portion may be oriented and folded in a manner analogous to the handle portion. By this measure name, a one-piece, strip-shaped fastening means can be used. It is advantageous if the fastening area is arranged closer to the opening area than the grip area, because then the Force is unfolded in the area in which the reclosure has its closure elements. The attachment area may be glued to or sealed to the outside of the gusset. Usually, however, the outside will not be sealable. A portion of the attachment area may then be passed through the opening and folded to the inside and sealed to the inside of the gusset.

According to a further embodiment, the grip region is oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction and the lateral fold has a longitudinally extending central fold line and the end of the grip region attached to the side fold is positioned congruently to the fold line. Thus, one end of the gripping area is easily graspable because it can be easily lifted off the outside of the gusset. In addition, the other end of the grip area is located exactly at the position of the fold line and runs exactly following the fold line. It can thus be done precisely at the location of the fold line, the power transmission, which is particularly important for the precise interlacing of those of the fold line of the gusset following parts of the closure elements of the reclosure important.

In this embodiment, the attachment portion may be connected to the left or right side of the grip portion with the gusset. However, in order to ensure symmetrical power transmission, particularly with respect to the fold line, it is advantageous for the fastening area to be divided into a first fastening area and a second fastening area and the first fastening area adjacent to the end of the grip area attached to the side fold to the front wall and the second attachment portion extends adjacent to the gusseted end of the handle portion toward the rear wall.

The two attachment areas may be glued to the outside of the gusset. According to a preferred embodiment, the gusset has a slot at the position of the fold line, through which the two attachment areas are guided into the interior of the bag and the two attachment areas are arranged on the inside of the gusset. They can be arranged either on the left or on the right side of the slot. Again, for reasons of symmetrical power transmission, it is advantageous for one attachment area to be located to the left side of the slot and the other attachment area to the right side of the slot is. There they can be glued to the inside of the gusset. As far as the inside of the gusset has a sealable layer, they may also be individually sealed there, whereby a reliable and inseparable within the intended use connection between the mounting portion and the inside of the gusset is obtained and consequently a reliable power transmission both in the train so also reached in the printing phase.

In addition, it has proved to be particularly advantageous that the two attachment areas and the slot with a cover sheet are preferably completely covered. In order to achieve the best possible power transmission between the actuating means and the reclosure, however, it has proved to be particularly advantageous that the inside of the gusset has a first sealable layer and the cover sheet has a second sealable layer which on that side facing the inside of the cover sheet is arranged, and at least one area around the slot, preferably a region around the slot and the two attachment areas is sealed by sealing with the cover sheet. Thus, in addition to a good power transmission and a reliable sealing of the slot. However, it can also be sealed over the entire surface of the cover sheet with the inside of the side wall and the inserted between the inside of the side wall and the sealable side of the cover sheet attachment areas. This increases the stability and durability in the area of the connection.

According to a preferred embodiment in which the force transmission is optimized, a region of the cover sheet and / or the fastening region between the inside of the side fold and a part (mounting flange adjacent to a closure element or the closure element itself) of the reclosure is inserted, preferably glued, especially preferred sealed. The preferred positioning between the reclosure and the inside of the gusset enables precise force transfer between the gripping area and the part of the reclosure associated with the inside of the gusset. Thereafter, the area of the slot is completely covered by a cover sheet and finally the interior of the bag is hermetically sealed at the location of the slot by the cover sheet.

This embodiment is made in accordance with the method of the present invention such that the slot is formed at the position of the central fold line in the side gusset in the longitudinal direction of the gusset, and positioning of the actuating means in the slot is performed so that the grip portion is toward the outside protrudes from the slot and the attachment portion protrudes toward the inside out of the slot, and the two attachment portions are fixed to the inside of the side fold with respect to the slot in the opposite direction on the inside.

In order to obtain as robust a construction as possible, it is particularly advantageous that the fastening region, which faces the inside, has a third sealable layer and the second is sealed with the third sealable layer. In fact, the first attachment area to the left of the slot and the second attachment area to the right of the slot are sealed to the inside of the gusset. Both attachment regions have the second layer extending along one of the sides of the entire film strip from which the actuating means are made. The film strip can also be sealable on both sides.

According to one embodiment, the actuating means are produced by a one-piece film strip which realizes the grip region in two or more layers, either single-layered or folded. According to another embodiment, the actuating means are made by at least two film strips which are glued together or sealed together at least in the grip area. Multiple layers of film strips can be produced by lamination or by coextrusion. Layers of another material, such as paper or metal, may also be embedded between plastic-based layers in order to utilize the associated material properties for the actuating means.

The grip area can also have a loop for engagement with a finger for easy operation, which has a favorable effect on the actuation as well as in the traction phase as well as in the printing phase, because the contact between the finger and the actuating means can not be lost inadvertently.

The Velcro areas of the two Velcro strips can be identical or designed differently.

The respective gusset may be formed along the entire length of the bag or only along an area below the top seal.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In the Fig. 1 a bag 1 is shown, which is designed as a gusseted bag and which is made of a flexible film 2 made of plastic, which forms the wall of the bag 1. Although not shown in detail, the film 2 on several layers, with an inner side 16 (see, eg Fig. 3 ) is made of a first sealable layer. The Indian Fig. 1 illustrated bag 1 has a front wall 3 and a rear wall 4 and a head portion 5, which is closed along its entire width with a top seal 6, and a foot portion 7, which is closed along its entire width with a Fußsiegelnaht 8, and a longitudinal direction between the Head area and the foot area extending the front wall with the rear wall connecting first side gusset 9 having an outer side 10 (or outer wall or outer layer of the film 2 called) and the inner side 16 (also called inner wall or inner layer of the film 2) on. In addition, the bag 1 has a second, but in the perspective of Fig. 1 invisible gusset, which will not be discussed further below, because the invention will be discussed with reference to the first gusset 9. The respective end of each side gusset is sealed to itself at the head end in the area of the top seal seam 6 as well as at the foot side in the area of the foot seal seam 8 in order to obtain the illustrated shape of the bag 1. The bag 1 can be closed on the head side and opened on the foot side or opened at the head end and prefabricated on the foot side. The unilaterally open bag is then delivered to a bottler, there filled depending on the situation by the still open head area 5 or foot area 7 with packaged goods and then closed by the respective sealed seam 6 or 8.

The first gusset 9 has an opening portion 11 with a reclosure 12 attached to the inside 16. The reclosure 12 serves to form a resealable chute 24 (see Fig. 4 ). The reclosure 12 has a closing flap 17 which covers the opening area 11 and bordering the opening area 11 and which is fastened (sealed) along its edge 18, leaving a continuous area 19 on the inner side 16 of the first gusset 9. Along the edge 18 there runs a fastening seam seam 20. In the continuous region 19, both a first Velcro strip 21 fixed on the inner side 16 of the first gusset 9 and a second Velcro strip 22 which cooperates with the closing flap 17 are arranged.

As in Fig. 2 and 3 illustrated, the opening portion 11 in the film 2 of the gusset 9 has a permanently open opening 23.

The first gusset 9 also has on the first gusset 9 adjacent to the opening portion 11 arranged actuating means 13 for actuating the reclosure 12 and consequently also for actuating the chute 24. The actuating means 13 comprise a grip region 14 for engagement with the fingers of a user's hand (not shown) and a fastening region 15 for attaching the grip region 14 to the outside 10 of the lateral fold 9, the grip region 14 in the present case with the aid of adhesive ( Not shown) is attached to the outside 10 ( Fig. 1, Fig. 2 . Fig. 3 ). Fig. 2 shows the closed chute 24 with the reclosure 12 in the closed state. Fig. 3 shows the reclosure 12 and the chute 24 in the open state.

The grip area 14 is oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction and positioned centrally to the side fold 9. The gusset 9 has a longitudinally extending central fold line 25 and the handle portion 14 is folded according to the fold line 25. Also, the attachment portion 15 is oriented and folded in an analogous manner as the handle portion 14 and closer to the opening portion 11 and the opening 23 arranged as the grip portion 14. With the help of as far as possible to the edge of the opening 23 zooming attachment area 13 is reached in that the chute 24 can be opened as far as possible and when closing the chute 24 the pressure force on the chute 24 in the region of the center of the reclosure 12 unfolds its full effect, so that the two Velcro tapes 21 and 23 also in the region of the bend the gusset 9, so in the area of the central folding line 25 cleanly connect and there arise no undesirable open areas or channels.

Fig. 5 shows an embodiment with a modified opening area 11. In contrast to the in Fig. 2 opening portion 23 is shown at the location of the permanently open opening 23, a perforation 31 is formed, which must first be torn in the course of the first unfolding of the chute 24 to dispense the contents of the bag.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show a further embodiment. The fastening means 13 are realized by two film strips, namely a first and a second film strip. The first and the second film strips are glued together at their first end to form the handle portion 14. The grip area 14 is oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction. The attached to the gusset 9 end of the handle portion 14 is congruent or positioned in other words congruent to the fold line 25 so that the handle portion 14 nestles in the compressed gusset 9 and 9 clearly protrudes from the gusset 9 with open gusset. The attachment portion 15 is divided into a first attachment portion 26 formed by the other end of the first film strip bonded to the outside 10 and a second attachment portion 27 formed by the other end of the second film strip bonded to the outside 10. It extends the first attachment portion 26 adjacent to the end of the handle portion 14 fixed to the gusset 9 approaches the front wall 3, and the second attachment portion 27 adjacent to the end of the handle portion 14 fixed to the gusset 9 approaches the rear wall.

Like in the Fig. 6 To see, the perforation 31 in the form of an inverted "U" on. This has the consequence that the chute 24 in comparison to the embodiment according to the Fig. 5 or 2 fold out further. Fig. 7 shows the opened or unfolded chute 24.

Unlike in the FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrated embodiment, the gusset 9 in which in the FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrated embodiment at the position of the fold line 25 a slot 28. The slot 28 can - as shown - to below (between reclosure 12 and inside 16) the reclosure 12 rich - or even adjacent to the reclosure 12 ends. Through the slot 28, the two attachment portions 26 and 27 are guided into the interior of the bag 1, where the two attachment portions 26 and 27 are arranged on the inner side 16 of the gusset 9.

The two attachment portions 26 and 27 and the slot 28 are covered with a cover 29, wherein the cover 29 has a second sealable layer, which is arranged on that of the inside 16 side facing the cover 29 and the first sealable layer of the inside 16 in Contact stands. A closed area around the slot 28 and the two attachment areas 26 and 27 are sealed by sealing the first sealable layer with the second sealable layer 29.

The actuating means 13 are made in the present case of a one-piece film strip, which is folded once, wherein the folding edge is located at the outer end of the handle portion 14, so that the handle portion 14 is realized in two layers. The first and second attachment regions 26 and 27, which conform to the inner side 16, are single-layered. The film strip is sealable on both sides and is sealed on both sides, ie both with the inside 16 and also with the second sealable layer of the cover sheet 29.

The perforation 31 is a self-contained line defining the edge of an opening 23 to be formed by opening the chute 24. When opening the chute 24, which is indicated by the arrow 30, ie when tightening the actuating means 13 in the direction of the arrow 30, the perforation 31st at least torn and it can be located within the perforation 31 lying part of the film 2 with your fingers and separated out of the film 2, so that the opening 23 is exposed.

Unlike the one in the Fig. 1 shown bag 1 has in the Fig. 10 shown bag 1 a flat foot area 7. In the thus formed foot region 7, the lower ends of the gussets are laid inwardly and the Fußsiegelnaht 8 is folded over and fixed by adhesive to the outer side 10. Such a foot area is shaped flat. In the bag 1 shown here, the edge 18 of the closing tab 17 extends into the two longitudinal sealing seams 35 and 36 and also into the top seal 6. The bag 1 described here is prefabricated open on the head side, delivered to a bottler, filled there with packaged goods and there closed after its filling by the top seal 6.

It is finally pointed out once again that the figures described in detail above are merely exemplary embodiments which can be modified by the person skilled in various ways without departing from the scope of the invention. For the sake of completeness, it is also pointed out that the use of indefinite articles does not exclude "a" or "one", that the characteristics in question can also be present multiple times. Also, individually disclosed features may be combined with other features and proportions of the features illustrated may vary without departing from the concept of the invention.
