Definitions
- the invention relates to the technical sector of plastic packaging bags, especially for the packaging of food products.
- the invention relates to a preformed flexible plastic bag, in particular obtained from a film having a thickness of less than about 200 ⁇ m.
- This type of bag comprises a front wall and a rear wall assembled at their lateral sides, in combination with bellows, delimiting a bottom and a filling opening.
- these preformed bags are made continuously, from a single plastic film, such as PE with or without added OPP, or PE added with PET, or any other materials perfectly known for a skilled in the art commonly employed in the field of food packaging.
- the plastic film is subjected continuously to successive operations of folding and welding, to make a bag as such, with as indicated, a bottom, two walls, joined by bellows, and a filling opening opposite to background.
- the external pleats, at the bellows and wall connections, are assembled by continuous welding lines.
- the bottom of the bag is made by any known and appropriate means.
- the side gussets are spread apart, thus giving volume to the shape of the bag, and indirectly, participate in the formation of a bottom, to allow to maintain the bag in a vertical position, or substantially vertical.
- This stability is also important for the storage and presentation of bags.
- the invention proposes an alternative solution to solve the problem of improving stability, while aiming to reduce the thickness, and improve the aesthetics of the bag.
- the manufacturing method according to the invention is characterized in that the cutting of each triangular zone is performed from the outer edge of the bellows, along the outer edge of the oblique welding line, to the outer edge of the line of transverse welding, then the cutting is continued transversely towards the inside of the plastic film sheath along the outer edge of the transverse welding line to make a semicircle away from the transverse welding line to return back and continue cutting transversely to the outer edge of the sheath, parallel to the transverse weld line.
- the plastic food product packaging bag obtained comprises a front wall and a rear wall assembled, on the one hand, at their lateral sides, in combination with bellows forming two folds, and secondly at one of their transverse side with said bellows, to form a bottom.
- the outer lateral edges of the bellows are connected to the bottom by oblique cutting lines, so that after filling of the bag corresponding to the spacing of the bellows, said oblique lines form symmetrically, on either side of the bottom, a clearance in triangle, without overthickness, thus improving the stability of said bag in vertical filling position.
- the oblique cut lines are formed from the bottom and the median line of the two folds of each bellows.
- the outer edges of the bellows, at their connection with the walls, including the oblique cutting lines, have a weld zone.
- the food bag designated as a whole by (1) is made of a flexible plastic material, in particular of thickness less than 200 microns.
- the bag is, in a perfectly known manner, obtained from a roll of film unrolled continuously, and subjected to various operations, including automatic folding and welding.
- the bag obtained has a front wall (1a) and a rear wall (1b) assembled at their lateral sides in combination with bellows (1c,) and (1d).
- the bag has, moreover, a bottom (1e) and a filling opening (1f).
- Each of the bellows (1c) and (1d) form two folds (a) and (b).
- the bottom (1e) is welded at the connection of one of the transverse sides of the walls, with the bellows.
- the external lateral edges of the bellows (1c) and (1d), at their connection with the front and rear walls of the bag, are connected to the bottom (1e) by oblique cutting lines (1c1) ( 1c2) and (1d1) and (ld2) ( Figures 2, 3 and 6 ).
- the oblique cutting lines are formed from the bottom (1e) and the median line (c) of the two folds (a) and (b) of each bellows.
- the external lateral edges of the bellows (1c, 1d), at their connection with the front (1a) and rear (1b) walls, including at the oblique cutting lines, have a weld line (L).
- FIG 7 shows the method of continuously manufacturing a food packaging bag, according to the features of the invention from a sheath of a plastic film.
- the film is subjected to successive bending operations to achieve the lateral bellows between two walls.
- a longitudinal weld line (L1) is made at the connection of the external edges of the bellows with the front and rear walls.
- a transverse weld line (L2) constituting the bottom (1e) and an oblique weld line (L3) between the outer walls of each of the bellows and the weld line (L2) constituting the bottom are produced at regular intervals. , [step (A)].
- the oblique weld lines (L3) and the transverse weld lines (L2) are made one after the other in separate steps, and with separate tools. The order in which these lines is not important.
- the oblique weld lines (L3) can be made before or after the transverse weld lines (L2).
- the method is more flexible in that it is possible to vary the inclination of the oblique welds or to move them transversely, and thus to modify the manufactured bag, without having to change tools.
- These characteristics also make it possible to adjust the position of the oblique lines (L3) according to the dimensional differences found in the manufacturing process.
- the manufacturing process is simple, fast, and accurate.
- step (B)] the triangular zone (T) resulting from the weld lines (L1) (L2) and (L3), [step (B)] is cut.
- cut can be shaped so as to achieve rounded edges, or not.
- the cut is made from the outer edge of the bellows (1c, 1d), along the outer edge of the oblique weld line (L3), to the outer edge of the transverse weld line (L2), then the cut is continued transversely to the inside of the plastic film sheath along the outer edge of the transverse weld line (L2) to a semicircle away from the transverse weld line (L2) for go back and continue cutting transversely to the outer edge of the sheath, parallel to the transverse weld line (L2).
- this cutting is performed by a double blade, the spacing of the blades allows for a cut by sealing on either side the transverse cuts made during the cutting of the triangular areas (see figure 8 ).
- the transverse weld lines formed during the cutting of the triangular areas are found arranged between the two blades during the double cutting.
