Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bag having the features in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention relates to a so-called snack bag.
  • Such bags are widely used as a functional food packaging that is typically intended as snacks for immediate consumption out of the bag.
  • these bags are used to hold snacks, such as sandwiches, pizza slices, hamburger, bagels, donuts and more.
  • the bags are filled from the seller side, for example, in bakeries, supermarkets or gas stations or delivered as components of packed lunches to passengers or ship passengers. Due to the widespread use of the snack bags, the production yields considerable quantities, which means that manufacturing costs must be low. Furthermore, while providing secure containment of the contents, such bags are to be easily and conveniently handled by the user for removal of the contents.
  • the DE 89 05 639 , the US 2007/0258662 A1 , the US 2007/0080197 A1 and the US 2005/0139508 A1 each describe a generic bag, consisting of at least two film surfaces, the edge below Releasing a bag opening and a bag-receiving space are at least partially connected to each other, wherein at least one of the film surfaces is provided with a perforation such that when they are separated at least one film part interrupts this film surface to release the bag-receiving space.
  • the invention has the object to provide a bag available that will meet the requirements to be placed on both the production as well as the use to a particular extent.
  • a significant feature of the invention is that the perforation extends H-shaped or cross-shaped in the form of an X-shaped cross over the one film surface.
  • the arrangement may advantageously be such that, in the case of the H-shaped perforation, a perforation line extends parallel to the longitudinal edges of the bag and centrally on one film surface and the respective end of this perforation line merges into a perforation line extending parallel to the opening of the bag each extends to the longitudinal edges.
  • a tray can be formed whose surface corresponds to the total sum of the surface parts of one film surface plus the total surface area of the other film surface.
  • At least one of the film surfaces is provided with a perforation in such a way that, when severed, at least one film part interrupts this film surface, releasing the bag-receiving space. Due to the perforation of at least one of the film surfaces that the Separating and thus allowing the opening of the receiving space within a film surface, a bag is available, which is not only made of a film material, such as a polyethylene film, particularly efficient and inexpensive to produce, but allows the user a particularly simple and convenient removal of the container contents, because the receiving space is accessible not only through the bag opening, but also by separating the perforation within a film surface. For the removal, therefore, a large area is available, so that the content can be removed not only by pulling out of the bag opening.
  • a film material such as a polyethylene film
  • the arrangement can be such that, in the case of a bag in which the one side of the film forms the front side and the other side of the bag forms at least one part of the film that has been set up and folded over, when separating the perforation of the one side of the film, the other film surface, in this case the back of the bag, is supplemented by a surface area increasing its area.
  • the arrangement may be made such that the two film surfaces are connected along mutually parallel longitudinal edges along which the respective separated and erected film part of the first film surface is such that it forms an extension of the other film surface. Together with the container rear side therefore an enlarged support surface for the exposed bag contents can be formed.
  • the respective folded film part of one when depositing the other film surface, as the bag back, on one level, the respective folded film part of one, so the front, film surface with the other film surface substantially also form a plane.
  • the user can thereby use the opened bag to form a kind of tray suitable for the consumption of the contents at locations where no device such as a Table or the like, is available, for example, during a stay of the user outdoors, forms a clean surface for the consumption of the snack.
  • the adhesive strip running parallel to the opening of the bag can be arranged, which is covered by a removable cover strip and by which the further foldable film part of the other film surface can be fastened to the one film surface.
  • the free end of the further foldable film part of the other film surface in the planar state lead to a perforation, which is followed by a tear strip as part of the other film surface, which has receiving openings with which a stacked supply of bags for the purpose of separating to fix plastic sleeves of a dispenser for such bag.
  • adjacent to the longitudinal edges and running parallel to these ventilation holes may be introduced in at least one film surface. This allows the snack to "breathe” and stay fresh longer, while the packaging, despite some existing ventilation holes fat and moisture impermeable and thus “drip-proof” remains.
  • the film surfaces are preferably rectangular.
  • the bag of clear plastic material preferably of transparent low density polyethylene (LDPE)
  • LDPE transparent low density polyethylene
  • the Fig. 1 shows a stack 2 unpatterned bag, which consist of a plastic film material.
  • the stack 2 is suspended on two receiving sleeves 4, one of which in the 8 and 9 is shown separately.
  • These receiving sleeves 4, which are preferably made of a thermosetting plastic, starting from a round foot part 6 starting a cylindrical, hollow receiving shaft 8, at the free end of a cap 10 can be fastened by clipping.
  • the hollow receiving sleeves 4 can be at forked or tine-shaped holding parts (not shown), which are arranged stationary on a wall in the sales room, with the bag composite 2 as shown in the Fig.
  • the bags can also be different, for example, at a shop counter, set or be provided for a single use, in which case the receiving sleeves 4 with the upper strip 18 can be omitted entirely.
  • the film material of the bags in the present embodiment consists of thin low density polyethylene (LDPE) material, to form an outline rectangular bag, a first film surface 12 forming the bag front side and a second film surface 14 are provided, see Fig. 3 making bag back.
  • This second foil surface 14 has a rectangular shape of the same width as the first foil surface 12, but in contrast is extended by a flap member 16, which in turn is followed by a tear strip 18.
  • This has a receiving opening 20 for each receiving sleeve 4.
  • a perforation line 22 running between tear-off strips 18 and flap part 16 allows convenient removal of a bag from the suspended bag stack 2 by tearing off at the perforation line 22.
  • First film surface 12 and second film surface 14 are along the in Fig.1 to 5 vertically extending longitudinal edges 24 and along an end edge 26 forming the bag bottom, so that between the first film surface 12 and second film surface 14 a receiving space 40 (see Fig. 5 ) is formed, wherein at the upper edge of the first film surface 12 is a bag opening 28 which, according to the illustration of the Fig. 5 However, it is closed by the flap part 16 as a further film part by folding over the same on the bag front side. Furthermore, the bag opening 28 on the rear side of the bag is bounded by the rear film surface 14.
  • the bag according to the invention can be opened not only by releasing the adhesive closure at the bag opening 28, but also makes it possible to form a large-area, convenient access to the bag receiving space 40 by opening the first film surface 12.
  • This is the first foil surface 12 provided with an array of perforations, wherein in the embodiment shown an H-shaped perforation is formed, which has a first perforation 34 which extends in the vertical direction, ie parallel to the longitudinal edges 24, in the film surface 12 centered.
  • a first perforation 34 which extends in the vertical direction, ie parallel to the longitudinal edges 24, in the film surface 12 centered.
  • a second perforation line 36 which extends parallel to the end edge 26 to the lateral longitudinal edges 24.
  • a third perforation line 38 which extends parallel to the second perforation line 36 to the two longitudinal edges 24 and is spaced from the adhesive strip 30, which is approximately the distance of the second Perforation line 36 from the lower end edge 26 corresponds.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates where the beginning of an opening operation is shown, can be formed by separating the perforation lines 34, 36, 38 a large area access to the bag-receiving space 40.
  • the film parts 42 and 44 are free to be set up and folded around the lateral longitudinal edges 24, so that the film parts 42 and 44 of the first, front film surface 12 laterally over the region of the rear , second foil surface 14, see Fig. 6 and 7 where the expanded state is shown in front view and rear view, respectively.
  • this is a kind of tray with exposed bag-receiving space 40 is formed, which can serve as a flat eating surface when the thus opened bag with the in Fig. 7 visible back is placed on a flat surface.
  • a particularly good opening process for the front side of the bag can also be achieved if the perforation line 34 is opposite to the representation of the Fig. 4 does not open at its upper end on the perforation line 38, but rather in the middle, so that initially the middle perforation line 34 breaks through, whereby the two film parts 42 44 along the two perforation lines 36, 38 folded over and forming the tray surface after the FIGS. 6 and 7 be unfolded.
  • the upper perforation line 38 also extends over the rear film surface 14, the bag, for example in its packaged state as shown in FIG Fig. 5 , are opened again exclusively via the perforation line 38, so that, analogously to the bag opening 28, a comparable, but non-reclosable bag opening results below the same.
  • the foil surfaces 12, 14 may be formed of a thin plastic material that is transparent and provides the user with an unobstructed view of the container contents.
  • thin trained sheet material for example, with a thickness in the range of 30 ⁇ m, the bags are inexpensive to produce with low material costs, which is to dispose of the user a small amount of waste, which can also be environmentally friendly compostable.
  • the format is easily adaptable to the type of intended filling.
