Definitions
- the present invention relates to sealing foils for use in packaging and in particular to sealing foils having a weakened tear line along which the foil may be torn to open the package.
- the invention also relates to a method of forming such a sealing foil.
- Packages are available in many forms and sizes according to the product to be contained. In the food packaging industries, the presence of a sealing foil can be of great importance in maintaining a product in sterile or fresh condition prior to use.
- One form of seal that has been disclosed for such packaging is shown in WO2014062119 which describes a sealing foil according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the seal comprises two layers welded together, wherein the first layer is an aluminium laminate that can be heat sealed or otherwise welded to the sides of a container e.g. using an induction welding process.
- a tear line extending along a tearing path around the lid.
- the tear line may cut the first layer but may not penetrate a hermetic second layer located beneath the first layer and welded thereto.
- a pull tab may be provided for a user to grasp and commence tearing the first layer along the tearing path.
- the tear line is without interruption or that any such interruptions are minimal as these may lead to uncontrolled ripping of the sealing foil in a direction other than along the tearing path.
- a seal is disclosed in WO2005075314 that has a pull tab, which leads into a tear line that is continuous through a lead-in section and a circumferential section.
- the manner in which the tear line is produced may lead to undesired discontinuities.
- Forming of the tear line generally takes place by punching or die-cutting with a series of punches, each having a blade for cutting a portion of the tear line.
- the circumferential section is cut using a punch that is different from that of the lead-in section. Alignment of one punch with the following punch determines the accuracy with which the different portions of the tear line align to each other.
- the tear line should be confined within the region covered by the hermetic second layer.
- a scored foil is disclosed in GB998102 , secured to the wall of a can by double seaming.
- a sealing foil for closing a packaging container comprising: a pre-cut first layer; a hermetic second layer, connected to the first layer and coextensive therewith over the full extent of the second layer; wherein the first layer is pre-cut with a plurality of tear lines defining a tearing path leading from a pull tab to a tear end including a lead-in tear line extending from the pull tab to a circumferential tear line defining an access opening such that a central portion of the sealing foil can be removed to provide an access opening to the container and a lead-in tear line is contiguous with a circumferential tear line such that uncontrolled ripping of the sealing foil is prevented, wherein the first layer extends beyond the second layer for connection to an inner wall of the container, and
- contiguous to one another is intended to require that the portions of the tear line either intersect or run parallel and adjacent to such an extent that a tear is obliged to follow from one portion of the tear line to a following portion, whereby uncontrolled ripping away from the tear path is avoided.
- the sealing foil is not square shaped.
- the sealing foil may be of a rectangular shape with the longer sides of the foil preferably being outwardly bowed.
- the shorter sides are preferably without a radius between the corners of the foil.
- the sealing foil has corners that are rounded off. The bowed sides and rounded corners facilitate controlled tearing of the foil.
- the lead-in tear line should join the circumferential tear line on one of the longer sides, preferably as far from the corner as possible. In one embodiment, the lead-in tear line should join the circumferential tear line at a about the mid-point of the longer side or earlier.
- Figure 1 shows an existing sealing foil 1 as may be used in various types of food packaging such as drinks powders, infant formulas and the like.
- the foil 1 comprises a first layer 2 and a second layer 3, which are joined together by welding at various points on their surface.
- the first layer 2 is formed of a heat-sealable aluminium laminate and extends to an outer circumference 4 that can be joined by heat sealing (such as induction sealing) to an inside wall of a container (not shown).
- the second layer 3 is slightly smaller than the first layer 2 and is formed of a heat sealable aluminium laminate, with the first and second layers 2, 3 being joined together face to face with the heat sealable surfaces engaged. It will be understood that other appropriate materials may be used for these layers e.g. polymer materials.
- a tear path 5 is formed in the upper first layer leading from a pull tab 6 to a tear end 7.
- the tear path 5 comprises a series of tear lines 5A, 5B, 5C, pre-cut through the material of the first layer 2. These include a first diagonal, lead-in tear line 5A, a second circumferential tear line 5B and an inner tear line 5C.
- the pull tab 6 and the diagonal tear line 5A are angled to the circumferential tear line 5B by around 20 degrees.
- the sealing foil 1 tears along the tear path 5 whereby the pre-cut first layer 2 causes the underlying second layer 3, which is welded to it, to be torn in a controlled manner. A central portion 8 of the sealing foil 1 is thus removed and an opening formed corresponding to the circumferential tear line 5B.
- Figure 2 shows an enlarged portion of Figure 1 illustrating the intersection of the diagonal tear line 5A with the circumferential tear line 5B. As can be seen, these are formed as separate cuts and they are not contiguous with each other at the point of intersection. This is because the tear line 5B is formed in a separate cutting action to that of the diagonal tear line 5A using a different punch or blade. The accuracy by which the production machine can be set up will determine the size of the gap G. In an existing arrangement, the blade that forms the diagonal tear line 5A is set to avoid the possibility of passing the circumferential tear line 5B. This is to avoid any chance that the diagonal line 5A could extend beyond the outer extent of the second layer 3, once the layers 2, 3 are assembled together.
- Figure 3 shows the detail of Figure 2 during opening of such a conventional foil 1.
- the second layer 3 is caused to tear along the diagonal tear line 5A towards the intersection with the circumferential tear line 5B. Due to the presence of the gap G, the tear does not proceed correctly and instead both the first layer 2 and the second layer 3 rip in the direction R. Such uncontrolled ripping of the sealing foil 1 is undesirable.
- Figure 4 shows a first embodiment of a sealing foil 10 according to the invention, shown in detail view corresponding to Figure 2 .
- Other parts of the sealing foil 10 may be identical to the prior art foil of Figure 1 and are provided with like references preceded by 10.
- the diagonal tear line 15A has a curved end 15D that crosses the circumferential tear line 15B and turns in a tangential direction to it.
- tangential is intended to include both collinear and parallel i.e. it is sufficient that the curved end has at least a portion that lies parallel to the circumferential tear line 15B and may even terminate in a direction returning towards the circumferential tear line 15B.
- Figure 5 shows a second embodiment of a sealing foil 20 according to the invention in a detailed view similar to Figure 4 .
- the diagonal tear line 25A has an extended curved end 25D that is tangential to the circumferential tear line 25B over an extended length.
- tangential is intended to include parallel, since these lines 25B, 25D will only coincide if the set-up of the respective punches is accurate.
- Figure 6 shows a third embodiment of a sealing foil 30 according to the invention in a detailed view similar to Figure 4 .
- the diagonal tear line 35A extends into the circumferential tear line 35B and continues uninterrupted to the tear end 37. These sections of the tear line 35A, 35B can be cut with a single blade or punch in a single process.
