Description

Sack and method and apparatus for making bags

The invention relates to a method for producing sacks from pieces of tubing comprising plastic material, according to the preamble of claim 1 and a sack comprising plastic material according to the preamble of claim 12. The invention further relates to an apparatus for producing bottom cover sheet material according to the The preamble of claim 20 and an apparatus for manufacturing sacks according to the preamble of claim 24.

Bags and manufacturing methods and devices are well known. In order to produce such bags, it is provided

that at least at one end region of a piece of hose around a fold line to form triangular pockets, a bottom rectangle is placed,

- that parts of the tabs of the ground rectangle are repulsed and

- That a bottom cover sheet is placed at least on areas of the tabs of the bottom rectangle and / or on areas of the triangular pockets and connected to these.

The bags provided with such bottoms are known as cross or block bottom bags.

Many such bags are used to transport bulk materials, such as building materials. Often this valve bags are used, which are manufactured separately and later filled through the valve. In order to achieve adequate ventilation of the usually powdery filling material in the bag, is often a Sack wall perforated with fine needles. However, the achievable by Nadeleinstiche hole diameter are so large that in addition to the air, which is registered in particular during filling in the bag, and a disturbing part of the contents exits the holes and z. B. contaminated the bag from the outside.

There are therefore other venting concepts known in which the air outlet takes place with a special form of venting channels in the bag. For this purpose, the formation of special longitudinal seams is required. Such a bag is known for example from the patent application WO 2007/087965 A1 of the applicant. Such bags have proven themselves. However, the tubing from which the pieces of tubing necessary for the production of the sacks are separated must, however, be produced from a web, so that the introduction of the longitudinal seams is possible.

Particularly cheap, but nevertheless high-strength sacks are often made of a round fabric, which includes plastic threads. The round fabric is usually coated on the outside. Such bags can be made by hot air sealing without additional adhesive. Here, the coating of the fabric during the sealing process of the sack and cover sheet is melted without damaging the tissue. With such a round fabric, the possibility of forming special longitudinal seams is not available. In addition, pieces of tubing can be used as starting semi-finished products for the production of sacks, which were produced from a seamless tube produced in a blown film process. Again, no special longitudinal seams can be formed. The production of such hoses is also inexpensive.

The object of the invention is therefore to propose a bag and a method and a device for its production, in which a sufficient ventilation of the filling material is made possible. The object is achieved by the claims 1, 12, 20 and 24th

Provided is the use of a bottom cover sheet, which at least partially comprises air-permeable material. In the case of the above-described pieces of hose, there is only the option of providing adequate ventilation via the floor areas. A bottom cover sheet is usually the reinforcement of the soil, but according to the invention also assumes the function of venting. Materials that are permeable to air, but impermeable to the contents are known. In the context of the present patent application, air-permeable materials are therefore those which by themselves already have the property of permitting air to pass through. This property is inherent in the materials. So it means no materials that have been made permeable to air through subsequent processing, for example by needling or perforation. The air-permeable materials may be nonwovens or filter papers. Further materials are known to the person skilled in the art of bag making.

In order to improve the ventilation, it is advantageous if the way between the filling material and the air-permeable material comprehensive ground cover sheet is possible not blocked. Therefore, it is provided that the tabs are folded back so that the edges of the tabs and the edges of the triangular pockets and / or the edge of a valve leaflets surround an opening through which the interior of the bag is accessible. Contrary to the usual manufacturing method in which the bottom flaps overlap, it is therefore provided that an opening is formed between the flaps, so that the air passes unhindered to the air-permeable material and subsequently to the outside. In order to achieve this effect at least approximately, overlapping bottom flaps can also be provided as before, provided with openings, for example perforated.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, it is provided that the bottom cover sheet comprises at least two layers. It is envisaged that one of these layers comprises air-permeable material. The particular advantage of this embodiment becomes clear when one considers that air-permeable material is usually mechanically less resilient than the actual bag material. Therefore, the further position of the bottom cover sheet, which is not necessarily made of an air-permeable material, can take over the function of soil reinforcement, while the venting function remains in the air-permeable material. A suitable, solid material can be provided for this purpose. An example would be a net of threads or fibers which can absorb tensile forces very well without tearing. It is particularly advantageous if the first of the tabs or the triangle pockets facing position consists of air-impermeable material, and in which openings, which allow the passage of air, are introduced. The breakthroughs can be about editions. The openings are advantageously circular, since then the strength is impaired as little as possible. This embodiment of the invention makes it possible to provide the same material, from which the tube pieces are produced, for the first layer. To allow venting through the second layer, openings or air passages must now be provided in the first layer. The size of the openings is to be chosen so that the strength of the material is impaired only to an acceptable extent. The equality of the materials is particularly advantageous because the ground cover sheet can be connected by the same method or the same adhesives very well with the other bag components, as they are also used in the conventional cover sheet attachment. In this case, the joints are high strength.

The second layer then comprises air-permeable material and is expediently applied to the first layer and connected thereto. The bonding is advantageously carried out by gluing, thermal sealing or ultrasonic welding along a connecting seam. Although application is possible after attaching the first layer to the bottom, it is preferable to perform the application prior to attaching the bottom cover sheet to the bag. Since ground cover sheets are usually provided as a web material, it is even advantageous to the first layer and the glue together second layer in web-like state together. It is only in the production of the bags that the ground cover sheets forming web material can be singulated to the actual bottom cover sheets. In an advantageous development of the invention, the bonding of the air-permeable material takes place in such a way that all apertures of the first layer are surrounded by the connecting seam. It is particularly advantageous if each individual opening is surrounded by a connecting seam, for example an adhesive trace. In this case, the respective connecting seam may be at a distance from the surrounding breakthrough, so that the area which is enclosed by the connecting seams is larger than the area of the openings of the first layer. This achieves a larger vent area and makes good use of the air-permeable material. In this case, the air which is pressed through the openings during the filling process with comparatively high pressure can be distributed over this area. Then it can escape via the air-permeable material. The distribution over the surface helps to reduce the pressure and to prevent bursting of the adhesive seam. High venting pressures can also occur when the bags are dropped, for example immediately after filling.

Preferably, each of the surfaces surrounded by the adhesive seams is at least twice as large as the area of the associated aperture. For this case, a good venting effect is expected even at high filling speeds.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, a third layer of the bottom cover sheet is applied to the second layer. This layer is or will be connected to the first and / or the second layer. This can in turn be done after the application of the bottom cover sheet on the bag, but preferably before. The third layer may in particular be or become connected to the long side edges of the first layer of the generally rectangular bottom cover sheet. The third layer can be connected with two adhesive or sealing seams. The first and the third layer can also be formed in one piece. After sticking the second layer can then the overhanging the second layer piece of the first layer are handled. The edges of the first and thereby resulting third layer can be joined together by a seam. It can also be provided on both sides overshooting pieces. These are turned over, with the edges overlapping. The edges are connected to each other, which also adhesive bonding or heat-induced joining methods can be used. At the end faces of the bottom cover sheet, the third layer preferably remains unconnected to the two first layers, so that through these openings, the air that passes through the air-permeable material can get into the open. For good ventilation and the seams on the large longitudinal sides can be interrupted and / or the end faces partially fixed. Also, mechanically generated openings in the third layer, such as needling, may be provided. The described third layer can protect the air-permeable material from external influences and thus from damage. In addition, this layer offers the opportunity to be printed. Finally, penetration of moisture into the interior of the bag is avoided, so that the contents essentially do not change its properties.

In a preferred embodiment, it is provided to introduce cuts in the third layer. These cuts are preferably in the vicinity of the openings of the first layer. These cuts can serve as a valve. The air that penetrates through the air-permeable material must now not only escape through the openings on the front sides of the bottom cover sheet, but can additionally pass through the incisions to the outside. The venting performance of the bag can be significantly increased in this way. If the breakthrough of the first layer is circular, it is advisable to introduce at least one circular-arc incision. The radius of the circular arc should be slightly larger than the radius of the openings, so that the air-permeable material of the second layer continues to be well protected against external influences. The centers of a breakthrough of the first layer and the circular arc incision should be on top of each other. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention pieces of hose are used, which are formed from seamlessly manufactured hose. In particular, the seamlessly produced tube comprises a round fabric made of stretched plastic tape, which is coated with a plastic. In this case, the first and the optional third layers of the bottom cover sheet comprise a fabric made of plastic tapes, whereby this fabric is also provided with a coating. In this case, the sack and bottom cover sheet can be joined together by a heat-induced joining method. The coatings are melted and the individual parts are pressed together. The coatings fuse together and form a bonding layer between the fabrics upon cooling. Damage to the fabric is avoided in this joining process. The first layer of the bottom cover sheet guarantees a sufficient strength of the bag in the area of the bottom cover sheet. Being made of fabric, it can absorb high forces. The joined connection is suitable for this purpose. The apertures to the air passage are small and do not significantly weaken the cover sheet. The second layer of air-permeable material retains the contents, but allows an air flow. An optimally suitable material can be selected to fulfill this function. This can be, for example, a highly porous paper. It also withstands the heat of the heat-induced joining process. Thus, this material is superior to a plastic fleece. It is expedient, before attaching the bottom cover sheet on the bottom portion of the bag, to apply a release agent to the portions of the bottom cover side facing the bottom of the bag which cover the opening. This measure prevents the connection of the cover sheet with the inner side of the bag, if it is not completely covered by the tabs of the bottom rectangle, that is, if an opening is present. The measure is advantageous above all in the application of a heat-induced joining method. The subject of the present invention is a bag which comprises plastic material. This sack also includes the following features:

- a hose body

a bottom which is folded at least at one end of the hose body and which comprises triangular pockets and these triangular pockets at least partially overlapping tabs,

- A bottom cover sheet, with which the bottom is covered, wherein the bottom cover sheet is placed at least on areas of the flaps and / or on areas of the triangle pockets and connected thereto.

The bag according to the invention is characterized according to claim 12 in that the bottom cover sheet comprises at least partially air-permeable material. Further advantageous embodiments will become apparent from the claim 12 subsequent claims. The advantages of these embodiments have already been indicated in the present application by the description of manufacturing methods. A further subject of the present application, which is based on the same inventive idea, is an apparatus for the production of ground cover sheet material which can be used in a method according to one of claims 1 to 11 and / or which is suitable for a sack according to one of claims 12 to 19 is.

Already in known sack manufacturing methods and devices, the ground cover sheet material is provided in sheet form. From this ground cover sheet a ground cover sheet is separated and applied to the already folded bag bottom. The device according to the invention now provides a sheet-like ground cover sheet material with which a sack can be produced, in which a sufficient ventilation of the filling material is made possible. For this purpose, the device initially comprises an unwinding device with which a first web comprising plastic can be unwound. Breakthroughs are now being introduced into this lane. For this purpose, a breakthrough generating device, for example a punch, is provided.

With a second unwinding device, a second web, which comprises air-permeable material, can be unwound from a reel. This is followed by an assembly unit, with which the first and the second web can be brought together. The first track is already provided with breakthroughs at this moment. For joining the first and second webs, the merging unit may comprise corresponding means by which bonding, thermal sealing or ultrasonic welding is possible.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, an adhesive unit is provided, with which the first web can be provided with adhesive applications. This adhesive aggregate is expediently arranged upstream of the assembly unit, so that when the webs are brought together, the first web is already provided with adhesive applications. In a further embodiment of the invention, a web transfer device adjoins, with which parts of the first web can be turned over so that the second web is covered. The web transfer device may include guide elements such as guide plates.

For covering the second web, alternatively, a further unwinding device can be provided with which a cover web can be unwound from a reel. This web could consist of a particularly inexpensive material.

In a further embodiment of the invention, a printing device may be provided, with which a release agent can be imprinted on the first web. This first web then would not need to be printed in a separate printing press. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a winding device is provided, with which the bottom cover sheet web produced in the manner described above can be wound up. The winding with such a ground cover sheet can then be brought to a conventional apparatus for producing sacks, so that - without having to change this device and the associated Sackherstellverfahren - the inventive method is feasible and bags according to the invention can be produced. However, the subject matter of the present invention is also a device for producing sacks from pieces of hose into which the described device for producing ground cover sheet material can be integrated. A winding device is not provided in this case, since the ground cover sheet produced with the described devices, devices and units can be separated directly to ground cover sheets, which are then fed to the ground cover sheet station.

A preferred device for the production of sacks from hose pieces is described in WO 2009/121842 A1 of the applicant. The content of this document is hereby incorporated by reference into this application in order not to have to repeat the individual device components and method steps for bag production at this point. This device can be associated with a device for the production of ground cover sheet material and then forms a device according to the invention for the production of bags from hose pieces.

Further embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the description and the claims.

Fig. 1 shows a partial view of a piece of hose or a bag 1, which consists for example of a flattened circular fabric of stretched plastic tapes, which was provided after the flattening process with a plastic coating. The end portion of the tube piece 1 has already been raised to a Boden rectangle 2. For this purpose, the two superimposed walls of the piece of tubing, which arise during the flattening process, are folded over a fold line 3, which also represents the bottom center line of the subsequent floor, so that the resulting machines 4, 5 are then in one plane. The tabs 4 and 5 then form the Boden rectangle. As a result of the folding over, the triangular pockets 6 and 7 are formed in the side regions. On one of the triangular pockets, in the case shown on the triangular pocket 7, is a valve leaflet, from which a valve is later formed, or a valve 8 is placed. About this valve 8, the bag can be filled later.

In order to finish the floor, parts of the tabs 4 and 5 are folded back around the folded edges 9 and 10. The overlapping with the side triangles 6 and 7 and the valve 8 with the areas of the tabs 4 and 5 can be firmly connected to these. However, a firm connection can be made by the later application of a bottom cover sheet, so that the overlapping areas just described need not be specially connected to each other. In conventional bags overlap the edge regions of the tabs 4 and 5, so that even without ground cover sheet, a closed bottom can arise. In a bag according to the invention and its manufacturing process, the edge regions are spaced from each other, so that an opening 1 1 remains, via which there is a connection from the inside of the bag to the outside, through which the air introduced with the filling of the bag can escape. This opening 1 1 is bounded by the edges of the tabs 4 and 5 and the edges of the triangular pocket 6 and the valve 8. An embodiment of the invention will now be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. In these figures, the production of a bottom cover sheet is shown, which, connected to a bag according to the figure 2, generates a bag according to the invention. FIG. 3 shows the base sheet 12, which has a width B which is at least twice as large as the desired width BD of the subsequent bottom cover sheet (see FIG. 7). The material of the base sheet 12 is preferably the material of the bag 1, so a fabric of plastic tape. The base sheet is in contrast to the piece of tubing preferably from one layer and may be coated on one side. The material in this case is impermeable to air. In the figure 3 further breakthroughs 13 can be seen, which are preferably circular and which are preferably introduced by means of at least one punching device. The breakthroughs can therefore also be referred to as punched out. However, the breakthroughs with other devices such as a laser cutter can be produced. The openings 13 are arranged on the base sheet 12 so that they are later on the opening 1 1 of the soil. Only then can the air that passes through the opening 1 1, also pass through the openings 13.

In particular, during the filling process act on the base sheet 12, the forces, which are symbolized by the arrows F and F '. The shape and size of the openings should be chosen so that the durability of the base sheet is limited only to a reasonable extent. Here it seems to be advantageous to space the openings with at least their opening width W in each case in the direction x. In the areas of the valve 8 and the triangular pocket 6 break-through areas 14 are provided as possible.

In the figure 3, the base sheet 12 is already provided with traces of adhesive. These traces of adhesive comprise longitudinal traces of adhesive 15 and transversely extending traces of adhesive 16. Each two traces of adhesive 16 and portions of the two adhesive tracks 15 surround a breakthrough 13. Such an arrangement of traces of adhesive ensures a secure attachment of an air-permeable sheet or a sheet and prevents air and / or contents can escape laterally under the filter paper. The area enclosed by the traces of adhesive surface is preferably twice as large as the area of the apertures 13. Also, the non-piercing regions 14 may be surrounded by traces of adhesive. Although at least no transverse traces of adhesive are necessary here, but the traces can be applied in a simple manner by means of an applicator roll, which then for the sake of simplicity also at the breakthrough-free areas of the base sheet

12 is employed. This applies in particular if several base sheets 12 are transported together, for example as a web.

FIG. 4 shows the base sheet 12 from FIG. 3, but with a glued-on slip 17 made of air-permeable material, which forms the second layer of the later ground cover sheet. Also, the slip 17 can be made contiguous, such as in the form of a train available. In the figure 4 this note is shown with a hatching. The adhesive tracks 15, 16, which are not visible per se, and the apertures 13 are nevertheless shown. The note 17 consists for example of coarse-pored filter paper, which allows very good air pass, but holds back the contents. The filter paper per se can not absorb the forces F and F '. Stretchability, however, offers a great advantage. In pressure surges, as they can occur when filling or dropping a bag, the air passes through the opening 1 1 and the openings

13 in the limited by the traces of adhesive spaces between the base sheet 12 and the slip 17. The slip material is now a little, so that the volume of said rooms becomes larger. In this way, an air reservoir is provided so that the air can gradually escape through the slip 17. In FIG. 4, the lateral sections 18 and 19 of the base sheet 12 are shown, wherein in the vicinity of one of the two outer edges, in the example shown in the vicinity of the edge of the section 18, a further longitudinal adhesive trace 20 is applied. The two lateral sections 18 and 19 are now turned around edges running in the x-direction so that their edges overlap and the adhesive track 20 lies between them. This is shown in FIG. The now not visible adhesive trace 20 is shown here with broken lines. When the basesheets 12 are used in a web, wrapping resembles tubing, as is known, for example, in the production of paper tubing for the manufacture of paper bags.

After the lateral sections have been turned over, at least the entire outer surface of the resulting bottom cover sheet 21 may be coated if a base sheet coated at least on one side has been used. The lateral areas, which now form a third layer 22, have different functions. First, they protect the slip 17 from damage and moisture. In addition, they can be used as information carriers. For this purpose, prints can be applied to the basesheets 12 even before their processing. The already mentioned several times as an example coatings on fabric of plastic tapes are a well-suited substrate for printing. An example of a print motif 23 is shown. FIG. 6 now shows a rear view of the generated cover sheet 21. Through the openings 13 of the note 17 can be seen. There is seen a hatched area representing a part 24 provided with a release agent. A release agent is particularly advantageous when the ground cover sheet 21 by means of a heat-induced joining method on the Sack bottom is applied. The bottom cover does not connect to the inner surfaces of the bag. As a release agent is in this case a release coating, which can be applied to the processing of the base sheet 12 with a known printing method and by means of a printing device on this. The provided with the release agent surface 24 is preferably congruent with the opening 1 1 of the already folded trays. The surface 24 may also be slightly larger than the opening 1 1 to compensate for manufacturing inaccuracies. The label 17 is expediently also acted upon by a release agent or consists of a material which does not connect to the adhesive or joining process with the inner surfaces of the bag. This applies, for example, to paper in a heat-sealing process. FIG. 7 shows a section of a finished bag 1, which comprises the finished bag bottom 25, in which the bottom cover sheet 21 has been applied, in particular sealed. Dotted the position of the apertures 13 is shown, with dash-dotted line the position of the tabs 4 and 5. This view illustrates that the openings 13 are in the region of the opening 1 1, which is limited by the tabs 4 and 5 substantially. With a broken line, the position of the valve 8 is shown, the edge also represents a limit for the opening 1 1. The print motif 23 is not shown in this figure. FIG. 8 shows the plan view of another bottom cover sheet 21, which can be used for a further embodiment of the invention. Visible is the third layer 22 of the bottom cover sheet 21st With a broken line, the openings 13 of the first layer are shown, which are circular in the embodiment of FIG. Concentric to this circumferential line of the apertures 13 arcuate cuts 26 are provided. By means of these cuts 26 tabs 27 are generated, which can now be lifted off from the third layer, so that the slip 17 can come into direct contact with the environment. The passing through the paper 17 passing air can thus be delivered in a simple way directly to the environment. Shown is that the cuts 26 have a distance to the circumferential lines of the openings. Each incision may occupy a certain angular range, which may be 135 degrees, for example. It follows that the angular range in which the tabs are attached to the third layer is two times 45 degrees. If the tabs are raised, there is thus a ventilation channel 28 which points outwards, ie the air escapes outwards (see arrows 29 in FIG. 10) and thus away from the center line of the ground. In the course of the ventilation channel, the ventilation cross-section is thus steadily larger, which significantly improves the ventilation.

FIG. 9 shows a further embodiment of the invention. Here, the openings 13 are shown as squares. The cuts 26 are formed angular. Shown again is an example in which the cuts 26, the openings 13 surrounded with some distance.

10 shows the side view of a bag 1 at the moment in which the registered air exits. In this case, usually the ground cover sheet 21 bulges outwards. Under this influence and under the influence of the outward flowing air, the tabs 27 are pressed outwards, so that the venting channels 28 open. The air can now, roughly in the direction of arrows 29, escape.

Figures 1 1 and 12 now show a device 30 for the production of bottom cover sheets 21, as shown in Figures 3 to 6. The device initially comprises a first unwinding point 31, in which a winding 32 can be stored rotatably. On the winding 32, a base material web 33 is wound, which is the basis for the later bottom cover sheets 21. The base material web 33 is already provided at the desired locations with a release agent and / or with one or more print motifs. In particular, for the printing of print motifs, a separate printing machine is recommended, since the often desired multicolor printing makes a device necessary, which would unnecessarily increase the device 30 and thus make it more expensive. In addition, the printing of the web can sometimes be done much faster in separate printing presses. On the other hand can be readily provided in the device 30, a printing unit, with which the release agent can be applied. Since in the present embodiment of Figures 3 to 6 release agent and print motif is printed on the same side of the web, it is expedient to apply the release agent simultaneously with the print motif in a printing press. Therefore, in Figure 8, a printing unit for applying a release agent is not shown.

After unwinding, the web 33 first passes through a sensor 34, such as a photo key, with which the position of the print motifs or the release agent orders can be detected. However, the web 33 can also be provided with register marks for this purpose. About the sensor 34, the punching device 35 and adhesive unit 36 described below are controllable, so that punching and adhesive jobs can be done in register. The photo sensor 34 follows in the transport direction A, a punching device 35, with which the openings 13 in the web 33 can be introduced. The cuts 26 can be produced with this or with a similar punching device. The punching device 35 can be circumferential, that is, the punching knife or the can be arranged on a roller, so that the web is transportable at a uniform speed. However, the punching device 35 can also comprise sinkable and liftable punching blades. Since the web must be at a standstill in this case, at least one web storage device, not shown, may be provided so that the web, despite the standstill of the angle continuously unwound and / or is providable continuously with an adhesive application. The punching device 35 further comprises a likewise not shown suction device, with which incurred punching waste can be sucked.

The punching device is followed by an adhesive unit 36, with which the adhesive tracks 15 and 16 can be applied. The adhesive trace 20 can also be applied to the adhesive aggregate 36. For this adhesive trace, however, a further adhesive aggregate can be provided, which is arranged directly in front of the hose forming station. The adhesive used may be of the "hotmelt" type, but also other types of adhesives that have cold bonding allow, may be appropriate. The adhesive can be applied with a cliché roller 37. A cliché roller comprises in height varied (elevations or depressions) and adhesive-carrying areas whose contour corresponds to the desired adhesive application. However, it can also be provided a nozzle system in which the adhesive flow with valves on and off. In this way, also the desired traces of adhesive can be applied. Cliché rolls and nozzle systems as such are known to the person skilled in the art and are therefore not further described here.

In the merging station 38, comprising a roller 39 and a counter-roller 40, a web 41 containing air-permeable material is now applied to the adhesive-provided web 33. The web 41 is provided in the form of a roll 42. In the unwinding station 43, the web 41 is unwound from the winding 42 and fed to the Zusammenführstation 38 via a plurality of guide rollers 44.

The web composite formed in the station 38 is now fed to a hose forming station 45, in which the lateral sections 18 and 19 of the later bottom cover sheets are folded over and their edge regions are glued together.

The tube 48 thus produced, which may also be referred to as a cover sheet, initially passes the preference 46. This comprises a pair of rollers 47, through the nip of the hose runs and the hose with the for the transport and transport of the not yet merged tracks 33rd and 41 required driving force applied.

Subsequently, the tube 48 can be wound up in a winding device 49 to form a winding 50.

The thus produced winding with web-shaped cover sheet material can now be brought to a Sackherstellmaschine. Conventional sack-making machines, as shown in FIG. 1 of the already mentioned WO 2009/121842 A1, typically include unwinding devices that are populated with wound on cover sheet material. Within the sack making machine, the web is singulated into individual topsheets and secured to the bottoms of sacks. This procedure has proven itself for years. To produce bags according to the invention, the bag making machine need not be changed. The cover sheet material produced in a described device 30 can be processed in a known manner in a bag making machine. In order to be able to save the winding up of the finished cover sheet, the device 30, reduced by the winding device 49, can take the place of the unwinding devices of the bag making machines.
