Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure device for a bag according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the WO 2013/192287 A2 discloses a bag with a closure device which has two profile strips which can be opened and closed via a slide.
  • the slide has a web-shaped projection which can be inserted between the profiles of the closure device.
  • Two pressure pieces are provided at a distance from the projection in order to open the closure strips when the slide is moved in one direction and to close them in the opposite direction.
  • the disadvantage of this closure device is that the user hardly recognizes when the slide is in the middle position whether the closure strips are open or closed, because the distance between the closure strips is very small both in the open and in the closed position and can hardly be seen with the eye can be recognized, which makes handling difficult.
  • the sealing of the closure strips is inadequate and, especially with liquids in the bag, leaks can occur.
  • FR 2 785 259 discloses a bag with closure strips which are opened and closed via a slide.
  • the slide engages around the closure strips and has a separating web which protrudes between the closure strips and is triangular.
  • the closure device comprises on the slide on a connecting section a projection for opening the closure strips, which when viewed from above on the connecting section is wedge-shaped Has section with two spreading side walls.
  • the opening width can be widened by the wedge-shaped contour, so that the user can see which side is the opening side and which is the closing side by looking at the closure strips on opposite sides of the slide.
  • the projection has a greatest width of more than 1.5 mm.
  • the projection preferably has a width of more than 1.7 mm on the side opposite a tip, for example between 1.8 mm to 2.5 mm.
  • the projection has a length in the sliding direction of more than 3 mm, for example between 4 mm and 6 mm.
  • a section of the projection can taper to a point in the shape of a wedge and, when moving with gentle pressure, open the profile strips.
  • pressure pieces are preferably provided, which are arranged less than 4 mm, in particular between 1 mm to 3 mm, in the sliding direction. These pressure pieces rest on the outside of the profile strips and press them together during a sliding movement in the closing direction, the short distance from the projection ensuring a good seal.
  • the slide In the transition area between the open and closed position, the slide can cause the profile strips to rest as positively as possible via the projection with small gaps, so that the seal against liquids is improved.
  • the connecting section can also cover any gaps if the projection is provided within the connecting section when viewed from above.
  • the projection has a trapezoidal section with side walls converging towards the end.
  • the projection is approximately diamond-shaped in plan view and can be dispensed onto the closure strips from both sides during assembly.
  • the side walls of the trapezoidal section can be less pointed than the side walls of the wedge-shaped section.
  • the pressure pieces have a length in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the connecting section, according to the invention, which is at least 1.5 times, preferably at least twice as long as the length of the projection. This means that even wide closure strips can be closed reliably.
  • two webs are provided, in particular at opposite ends in the slide direction, which protrude inward and are guided along strips of the closure strips.
  • the handling of the closure device is further simplified if at least one marking for indicating the opening or closing direction is attached to the slide.
  • a corresponding marking can be provided as an arrow, pictogram or test.
  • the closure device is preferably provided on a bag for storing food, in particular made of a transparent plastic film.
  • a bag 1 comprises two side walls 2 which are connected to one another at a base 9.
  • the side walls 2 are also connected to one another on two opposite sides via seams 8 and have an opening 3 on one side.
  • a closure strip 4 or 5 is fixed, in particular glued or welded on, to each side wall 2 of the bag 1.
  • the closure strips 4 and 5 are designed as extruded plastic profiles which are fixed on the edge of the side walls 2.
  • a slide 6 can be moved between two end positions along the two closure strips 4 and 5 in order to open or close the closure strips 4 and 5.
  • the closure strips 4 and 5 are glued or welded to one another at opposite ends.
  • the slide 6 comprises two side walls 15 and 17 which are connected to one another via a connecting section 19 and which encompass the two closure strips 4 and 5 in a U-shape.
  • At the end of the side wall 15 there is an inwardly protruding web 16 and at the end of the side wall 17 an inwardly protruding web 18 is provided, which guide the slide 6 together on strips 13 and 14 which are formed on the closure strips 4 and 5.
  • the slide 6 is not in an upward direction from the closure strips 4 and 5 Figure 2 removable and thus precisely guided perpendicular to the sliding direction.
  • the closure strip 4 comprises two hook-shaped profile strips 11 which can be brought into engagement with two hook-shaped profile strips 10 on the closure strip 5.
  • the hook-shaped profile strips 10 and 11 are pressed towards one another and can lock together due to the hook shape.
  • both profile strips 10 can be locked onto the two profile strips 11 in a form-fitting manner.
  • other geometries can also be used for the profile strips 10 and 11 in order to releasably connect them to one another.
  • a projection 20 is formed on the connecting section 19, which at least partially engages between the two closure strips 4 and 5, in particular above the profile strips 10 and 11 the closure strips 4 and 5 are pressed apart to prevent them from moving of the slide 6 to open in the opening direction.
  • the projection 20 is a kind of separating nose which separates the closure strips 4 and 5 from one another when it is moved.
  • the slide 6 is shown in a view of the projection 20 on the connecting section 19. It can be seen that the projection 20 is arranged completely within the connecting section 19 and has a wedge-shaped section with a tip 21 and two spreading side walls 22. The angle of the side walls 22 can for example be in a range between 5 ° and 25 °. On the side 23 opposite to the tip 21, the projection 20 is curved in a concave manner. It is also possible to design the projection 20 without a curvature at the end or to provide a further section at the end which adjoins the wedge-shaped section. The width of the side 23 opposite to the tip 21 is in a range between 1.8 mm and 2.5 mm, so that the closure strips 4 and 5 are visibly kept at a distance when opening.
  • the pressure pieces 24 are only arranged at a small distance from the tip 21 of the projection 20, for example between 1.5 mm to 3 mm, so that the closure strips 4 and 5 are essentially positively locked by the pressure pieces 24 and the projection 20 are performed and only small gaps arise.
  • the inwardly projecting webs 16 and 18 are each arranged at opposite ends of the slide 6 in the slide direction.
  • the gap between the inwardly projecting webs 16 and 18 can be in the range between 0.7 and 1.4 mm.
  • the slide 6, which is designed as a one-piece plastic part, can also according to FIG Figure 4 have a marking 30 on an upper side of the connecting section 19 to identify the opening or closing direction.
  • the marking 30 can be provided by shaping or by contrasting in color. Instead of an arrow, other markings or words can also be provided.
  • FIG. 5A to 5C an embodiment of a slide 6 ′ according to the invention which can be used in a bag 1 is shown.
  • the slide 6 ' has on the connecting section 19 a projection 20' with a wedge-shaped section with side walls 22 which are designed as in the first exemplary embodiment.
  • On the side opposite the tip of the wedge-shaped section there is provided a section which is trapezoidal in plan view and has side walls converging towards the end, but in which no point but a cut end is provided which is flush with the connecting section 19.
  • two pressure pieces 24' are formed on the connecting section 19, which are slightly more than twice as long as the projection 20 'in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the connecting section 19.
  • the pressure pieces 24 ' have rounded edges in order to avoid damage to the closure strips 4 and 5.
  • the distance between a tip 21 of the wedge-shaped section of the projection 20 'and the pressure pieces 24' in the sliding direction is between 1 mm and 2 mm, so that an extensive seal is achieved in this area.
  • the closure device according to the invention is used in particular in bags 1 for storing food.
  • the bag can be made of transparent plastic films, whereby the closure strips 4 and 5 can also be transparent or colored.
