Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical sector of plastic packaging bags.
  • the invention relates to a preformed flexible plastic bag of thickness less than 200 microns, comprising a front wall and a rear wall assembled at their lateral sides, in combination with bellows, and delimiting a bottom and a filling opening.
  • these preformed bags are made, continuously, from a single plastic film, such as PE with or without PP, or PE added with PET, or any other material perfectly known to a man of the art. profession, employed in the field of food packaging, in particular.
  • the plastic film is subjected, continuously, to successive operations of folding and welding to produce a bag with a bottom, two walls joined with bellows, and a filling opening opposite to the bottom.
  • the outer plies are usually joined by weld lines.
  • the bottom of the bag can be formed continuously, by welding, being folded down and fixed on one of the walls of the bag. Other embodiments may be envisaged.
  • the document FR 2 929 247 also discloses a method of manufacturing a bag from a plastic film, wherein the film is subjected to successive bending operations, to achieve lateral bellows between two walls; cross-cutting the film according to the desired height of the bag; externally flap the open transverse end of one of the walls, so as to open the bellows and position them flat forming a triangle; the inner face of the folded wall portion is attached to and fixed on the inner face of the bellows arranged in a triangle and on the internal face of the other wall, a plate capable of acting as a bottom and presenting means for temporary opening and closing from which the contents of the bag can be emptied.
  • the problem to be solved by the invention is to be able to equip a bag, which is already preformed and made of a flexible plastic material, with a rigid frame.
  • the invention applies to all types of bags, preformed, made of flexible plastic material, with a thickness of less than 200 microns, and obtained from a roll of film unrolled continuously, and subjected to various operations of bends and welds, made automatically.
  • the packaging bag is made before being filled, in opposition to the plastic bags obtained on a machine of the FFS type, that is to say, made from a vertical sheath, the bag as such, being made as filling.
  • the bag designated as a whole by (1) and produced, as indicated, in all types of flexible plastics with a thickness of less than 200 microns and comprises a front wall (1a) and a rear wall (1b). assembled at their lateral sides, in combination with bellows (1c) and (1d).
  • the bag (1) has a bottom (1e) and a filling opening (1f).
  • part of the bag (1) which is therefore preformed, has arrangements for fixing a rigid frame (2), able to define an opening in communication with the inside of the bag.
  • the frame (2) can advantageously be equipped with a closure means (2a).
  • the frame (2) is fixed at the opening (1f). Not covered by the invention is the attachment of the frame (2), in relation to the bottom (the) ( figure 4 ), or with one of the walls (1a) and / or (1b), which in this case has (or) in the case of weakening cutouts to create an opening corresponding to the geometry of the frame (2).
  • the frame (2) is advantageously equipped, as indicated, with a closure means (2a), of the cover type.
  • a closure means (2a) of the cover type.
  • the rigid frame (2) is fixed at the filling opening of the bag.
  • the plastic film is continuously subjected to successive welding operations to produce the bag with the bottom (1c) and the two walls (1a) and (1b) joined by the bellows (1c) and (1d). ).
  • a cross section (3) of one of the walls (1b) is produced at a determined distance from the bottom corresponding to the desired height of the bag.
  • the open transverse end of the wall (1b) is then externally folded so as to open the bellows (1c) and (1d) and position them flat, forming a triangle, (1c1) and (1d1).
  • the frame (2) is then attached and fixed, by any known and appropriate means, on the edge of the inner face (1b1) of the folded wall (1b) on the edges of the inner face of the bellows arranged in a triangle (1c1) and (1d1), and on the edge of the inner face along the bottom (1e), of the uncut wall (1a).
  • the frame (2) has a generally rectangular shape. Its length substantially corresponds to the width of the bag, while its width substantially corresponds to the width of the bellows (1c) and (1d).
