Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a continuous web of plasticised paper especially conceived for the subsequent production of bags for fruit and vegetable produce and the like, by means of the longitudinal thermowelding, or any other similar joining procedure, of its longitudinal edges, so as to transform the same into a likewise continuous tube; and, by means of transversal cutting and thermowelding, the obtaining of unitary bags by means of the closure and independisation of the same.
  • Another object of the invention is the obtaining of a continuous web combining totally closed areas of plasticised paper, a rectangular reinforcing plate, preferably of plasticised cardboard, located preferably at the base of the bag, windows covered with reticular material and, where applicable, perforations to enable the viewing, and in particular, the aeration of the products packaged.
  • the reinforced paper bags provide maximum mechanical strength, optimal protection from the light of the products packaged, a greater capacity for printing on the bag than other prior bags and a high production rate, all featured by a bag produced from a totally recyclable material, and by means of the use of polyethylene reinforcements reducing the thickness and consequently the grammage of the plasticised paper and therefore its cost.
  • Fruit and vegetable produce such as oranges, potatoes, etc.
  • a tubular body of reticular plastic material is closed at both ends subsequent to the packaging of the produce, one of said ends optionally featuring handles to facilitate the transport of the bags.
  • the origin is a continuous laminar web which is folded over itself to form the aforementioned tubular body via a longitudinal heat-seal, subsequent to which the aforementioned process is repeated, in such a way that the filling of the bags is executed simultaneously with their unitary independisation.
  • a notable evolvement of the state of the art and which belongs to the same titleholder as does the present invention, consists of a laminar plastic web in which a series of openings are executed and then covered by a reticular material affixed to the web by means of thermowelding or other similar process.
  • the same inventor announces a second evolvement, consisting of the use of a sheet of plasticised paper for the production of the continuous web, to which a series of polyethylene reinforcements are welded at the periphery of the windows and at the areas to be welded, enabling a reduction in the grammage of the plasticised paper used.
  • the present invention provides an innovative continuous web which, by means of the use of a plasticised cardboard plate welded preferably at the location intended to be the base of the bag, provides among other advantages that the bag remains in the desired position on the racks in sales outlets for the enhancement of the product and the resulting desired increase in sales.
  • the continuous web proposed by the present invention represents a technological breakthrough in this field, and is based on the use of a continuous sheet of paper, plasticised on at least one of its sides, of a width coinciding with that of the continuous web, of the type where said web is intended to fold over itself, and by means of the joining of its longitudinal edges by thermowelding or other similar joining process to form a continuous tube which is divisible into a plurality of sectors corresponding to respective bags, said continuous web featuring one or more windows and, if applicable, equally- or differently-sized perforations which may be covered by means of fragments of mesh netting, dimensionally and formally suited to each window, and affixed to the periphery of said windows.
  • the continuous web is formed from a continuous sheet of plasticised paper on which, in correspondence with each of the sectors of the same foreseen for the obtaining of a bag, polyethylene reinforcements are disposed at the areas foreseen for the handles, the heat-seals and at the periphery of the windows and, if applicable, the perforations, affixed to the sheet of plasticised paper by thermowelding or other similar joining process.
  • a rectangular plate is affixed to said continuous sheet of plasticised paper at the area of the web intended to be the base of the bag, the longitudinal axis of said plate being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sheet of plasticised paper.
  • the rectangular plate which may be cardboard plasticised on at least one of its sides, and may feature a weakening line on its longitudinal axis in order to facilitate its folding and unfolding, enables the bag, once filled with the fruit or vegetable produce, to remain in a vertical position once placed on the sales racks, improving its display to customers and enhancing the product.
  • At least one window is disposed, which is covered by means of a fragment of mesh netting, dimensionally and formally suited to said window, and affixed by thermowelding to the periphery of said window.
  • the sheet of plasticised paper may be plasticised on both sides.
  • a single window with its corresponding mesh netting when a single window with its corresponding mesh netting is disposed in each sector of the continuous sheet of plasticised paper, said window is located centrally with regard to the transversal axis of the continuous sheet of plasticised paper, and on both sides of the same, small perforations, devoid of netting, may be disposed.
  • the netting which covers the window is a continuous strip of netting running longitudinally along the continuous sheet of plasticised paper.
  • a second polyethylene reinforcement may be disposed, affixed to the polyethylene reinforcement by thermowelding or any other means, with the particularity that the second reinforcement is fixed to the polyethylene reinforcement on the surface of this last, and to a U-shaped strip demarcated by a die-stamped line affecting both the polyethylene reinforcement and the sheet of plasticised paper; said strip constitutes a handle intended to project through the mouth of the bag body.
  • the die-stamped lines which determine the U-shaped strip may be pre-cut or sliding lines which maintain said U-shaped strip in coplanar disposition with the remainder of the polyethylene reinforcement and of the sheet of plasticised paper.
  • each sector of the web intended for the obtaining of a bag features polyethylene reinforcements corresponding to two diametrically opposite points at the mouth of the bag, in such a way that the base accommodates two handles protruding from said mouth of the bag, these also being diametrically opposite.
  • the continuous sheet of plasticised paper features the same width as the continuous web; this being the sum of the length of the two lateral faces of the bag plus the width of the base of the bag.
  • the procedure for the manufacture of the bag commences, joining the longitudinal areas for heat-seals by means of thermowelding or any other similar joining procedure, thus obtaining a continuous tube forming the longitudinal part of the bag, for the subsequent execution of heat-seals at the lower transversal area for heat-seals of the continuous tube, filling the same with the fruit or vegetable produce, and executing the heat-seal at the upper transversal area for heat-seals, thus obtaining the bag.
