Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bag with a wall which surrounds a bag interior, and a first floor, on whose side facing away from the bag interior a cover sheet is arranged.
  • Such a bag is formed for example as a paper bag and known from the prior art for a long time.
  • a generic bag is for example from the EP 2 132 103 B1 known.
  • a bag according to the preamble of claim 1 is usually used in the form of a valve bag, an open bottom bag or a block bottom bag and is mainly used as packaging for pourable goods.
  • a valve bag an open bottom bag or a block bottom bag
  • other configurations and other materials for use with such bags are known.
  • the attachment of this covering part can be inadvertently solved, for example, during transport and storage, so that it can come to a damage of the bag.
  • the invention solves this problem by a bag with a wall surrounding a bag interior, and a first floor, on whose side facing away from the bag interior, a cover sheet is arranged, and which is characterized in that at the first bottom a support member for a Nutzelement is arranged such that it is located inside relative to the cover sheet and after opening of the cover sheet is movable such that facilitates emptying of the bag and the Nutzelement is accessible.
  • the carrier element is arranged relative to the cover sheet inside. This means that it is closer to the bag interior than the cover sheet and is advantageously at least partially covered by this cover sheet.
  • the carrier element is therefore not arranged recognizable from the outside in a closed filled bag.
  • the cover sheet is opened and in particular torn open in the rule.
  • tear-off aids may be present in the form of, for example, tear-open, the facilitate rupture of the cover sheet and allow.
  • the carrier element is preferably visible and can now be moved in such a way that on the one hand the emptying of the bag is facilitated and the useful element becomes accessible.
  • the support member is arranged to at least partially cover the opening resulting from the tearing open or opening of the cover sheet so as to ensure at the same time that no or very few elements or Components of the cover sheet can trickle into the contents inside the bag. Only by moving the carrier element from this preferred position, the emptying of the bag is facilitated because the resulting from the tearing of the cover sheet opening in the bag is no longer covered by the support member. By the same or a second movement of the carrier element, the useful element is accessible and can be used.
  • the carrier element is an inner latch.
  • Internal latches are known from the prior art and are glued to the inside of the respective floor in order to increase the stability and stability of a paper bag.
  • EP 2 132 103 B1 is a bag with such an inner bar known.
  • the support member formed as an inner latch according to an embodiment of the present invention is advantageously not connected on all sides with the bag via an adhesive layer, as this is a movement of the support element relative to the rest of the bag, as required by the invention, would prevent.
  • the inner bar described in the prior art is therefore not suitable to be used as a carrier element according to the present invention.
  • the support element can also be formed as an internal latch, which refers in particular to its position and location.
  • an opening formed in the respective bottom of the bag by the tearing open of the cover sheet can be caused by the carrier element be at least partially covered, even if the carrier element is not connected over its entire circumference with the rest of the bag.
  • the useful element is at least one print, which is applied to the carrier element.
  • the useful element is therefore not necessarily a separate component, but may, for example, in a printing, so for example, at least one applied ink layer exist.
  • warning, consumption or durability information but also information about any competitions or lotteries or other information may be printed directly on the support element.
  • This does not have to be the case with all sacks used or can occur with different sacks, for example in different languages.
  • all sacks have such a support element, it is possible to easily produce differently configured sacks, for example with labels in different languages, without having to retrofit production lines or maintain different sack configurations.
  • this embodiment also has the advantage that it is not recognizable from the outside, in which form the Nutzelement is formed, so that the bags can be formed from the outside indistinguishable.
  • the useful element is at least one printed paper, which is preferably coated or wrapped in a protective cover and fixed to the support element.
  • a separate printed paper for example in the form of an optionally folded or unfolded sheet or a booklet or a booklet can be enclosed in this way. If this example, wrapped in a protective case, for example, from a plastic film, it can neither lead to contamination of the Nutzimplantations come through the filler material located in the bag still to contamination of the filler due to the Nutzettis.
  • the carrier element may comprise or consist of a plurality of different materials.
  • paper elements can be used which use paper types known from the prior art, paper coatings or a paper composite with or without aluminum.
  • a cardboard can also be used as a carrier element.
  • the carrier element is not limited to paper or paperboard products.
  • plastic films such as a water-soluble film, a film composite with or without aluminum, or other plastics can be used.
  • plastic or glass fabrics, a spun fleece, leather or other papers or cardboard can be used.
  • the materials used for the carrier element are biodegradable and / or recyclable. This includes, among other things, rigid or flexible plastics, metal or wood components as well as combinations of the materials mentioned here.
  • the carrier element is located on the inside of the bottom and can thus come into direct contact with the filling material or filling material. This type of construction ensures that the carrier element and the useful element are well protected from external influences and yet be made easily accessible.
  • the useful element is at least also an object which is arranged on the carrier element.
  • the useful element can advantageously to be an RFID chip. This makes it possible to track transport routes, storage and usage times of a bag over its entire period of use.
  • objects for example, chip cards, key fobs or other objects can be used, which can be used for example for lotteries or sweepstakes or for data collection.
  • the carrier element has to be unfolded or unrolled at least once so that the useful element is accessible.
  • the useful element is almost completely surrounded by the support element and protected by it, so that it does not come into contact, for example, directly with the contents inside the bag.
  • This can be advantageous both from the point of view of avoiding soiling of the filling material and from the point of view of ensuring the functioning of an optionally electronic article which is used as a useful element.
  • the carrier element and the useful element are wrapped together in a protective cover, wherein this is preferably a film, in which the carrier element and the Nutzelement are welded.
  • the support member is attached to a bottom flap of the first floor, preferably glued or welded, which is integrally formed with the wall.
  • a bottom flap of the first floor preferably glued or welded, which is integrally formed with the wall.
  • no additional components for the bag are needed, so that even an existing bag or an existing production line for conventional bags easily nachhaptagen can be converted.
  • Paper bags and paper valve bags usually have at least one bottom, which is at least partially formed of bottom flaps, which are part of the wall of the bag.
  • the bottom is a valve bottom and / or a counter bottom.
  • a valve bottom is a bottom in a bag, which is equipped with an additional valve, which makes it possible to fill the container via a suitable filling system. After filling, the bag is self-closing or is closed in conjunction with a thermal closing unit.
  • the carrier element according to the invention and the useful element arranged therein can be arranged both on the valve bottom and on the counter bottom of such a bag.
  • FIG. 1 shows a bag 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention in the unfilled state. It can be seen a wall 2 which is glued to a longitudinal seam 4 shown schematically.
  • the bag 1 has a first bottom 6 and an opposite valve bottom 8. Both the valve bottom 8 and the first bottom 6 are each covered by a cover sheet 10, wherein the cover sheet 10 on the first bottom 6 has a Aufrich Huawei 12 in the form of a tear strip , As an alternative to the illustrated embodiment, it is known that the two cover sheets 10 are also folded over the edge transversely to the bag 1 and glued to the wall 2 as a reinforcement.
  • FIG. 2 shows a section of the bag 1 with the wall 2, in which the tear-open 12 is opened in the tear 14, so that the cover sheet 10 can be opened.
  • FIG. 3 It is shown how the cover sheet 10 is torn in the middle along the tear-open aid 12 no longer shown and one of the two bottom flaps 16, which are formed integrally with the wall 2, has been opened.
  • a support element 18 to recognize that the view of the contents 22, which is located inside the bag 1, denied.
  • the support member 18 extends as an internal latch over the entire opening of the first bottom 6 of the bag 1, so that an emptying of the bag 1 in this state is not possible or only with great difficulty.
  • a Nutzelement 20 is shown by dashed lines, which is not yet accessible in the state shown.
  • the support member 18 is arranged, which has already been deployed twice, as the schematically illustrated folding lines 24 can be seen.
  • the Nutzelement 20 is now also accessible and usable. Due to the movement of the carrier element 18, which consists in this case of an extraction from the opening and a deployment or unfolding, on the one hand emptying of the bag 1 is possible or easier and at the same time the user element 20 has become accessible and usable.
  • the useful element 20 can be, for example, an RFID chip or a paper, coated or uncoated. Of course, other objects and elements as useful element 20 are conceivable.
