Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of flexible pouches for shipping envelope-type articles, particularly those which have an inflation system for protecting the items contained in the envelope against shocks during their shipment.
- the main object of the present invention is to implement an alternative inflation system that best preserves the inflated envelope until it reaches the recipient.
- a first implementation is to provide a foam padding in a pocket of the envelope, said padding defining a receiving compartment of the items to be shipped.
- a foam padding in a pocket of the envelope, said padding defining a receiving compartment of the items to be shipped.
- a second implementation consists in providing an inflatable chamber that surrounds a receiving compartment of the items to be shipped.
- the envelope has an internal pocket defining a receiving compartment of an article, an external pocket incorporating the inner pocket, an opening arranged on the inner and outer pockets to access the compartment.
- the inner bag and the outer bag are fixed together by their design in several sheets welded together or in a single sheet folded and welded at its edges, said inner and outer pockets being arranged so as to define an inflatable chamber around said internal pocket.
- the outer bag has one or more flattened flexible valves which crash and close under the effect of the inflation pressure in the chamber.
- the chamber may deflate at least partially, this deflation may for example occur when the pressure in the chamber is not large enough, in case of poor inflation.
- the inflatable bag comprises a conduit implemented between the two faces of the inner bag, this conduit comprising two outlet orifices respectively on the two faces of the inner bag, said outlet orifices communicating in the chamber.
- the closure of the duct is obtained by the pressure in the chamber which crushes both sides of the inner bag in the area of said duct.
- a conduit which has an outlet opening into the inflatable chamber and an inlet opening on the sleeve.
- the duct also constitutes a valve that is closed only by the pressure in the chamber.
- the pouch also includes a flap which serves only to close the access opening to the compartment.
- the inflatable bag comprises a conduit implemented between two folded strips disposed between a face of the outer pocket and a face of the inner pocket, the conduit being defined by welds.
- a point or a weld line arranged between said face of the outer pocket and the two folded strips, allows to stretch these two folded strips and thus the conduit, which allows to close and prevent the pressurized air to escape from the chamber.
- This pressurized air is also present in the chambers on each side of the folded strips and communicating with the chamber, said air pressure making it possible to keep the duct closed in addition to stretching said folded strips.
- the inflatable pouch comprises a duct implemented between two folded strips arranged between one face of the outer pouch and one face of the pouch internal, the conduit being delimited by welds.
- a rigid tube is sealed and permanently sealed in this conduit, its end being closed by a plug after inflation of the pouch.
- the outlet orifice of the duct opens into the chamber and has a restricted section delimited by the weld bead at which said outlet orifice is located. This only makes it possible to limit the escape of pressurized air into the chamber once the inflation has been effected, only the plug ensuring a real closure of the tube and thus of the duct.
- the inflatable liner includes a common conduit that communicates with a plurality of conduits.
- the common conduit has one or two inlet ports that are in correspondence with one or two inlet ports on the pocket. Inflation of the liner is effected by injecting air through the inlet ports on the bag. Once the jacket inflated, a weld bead is made along the entire length of the common conduit to seal and prevent air in the ducts from escaping through the inlet ports.
- the pocket includes a flap for closing the opening so as to maintain the article in the pocket.
- the present invention aims to overcome the total or partial deflation problems that can appear on the air bags of the aforementioned prior art, during their expeditions.
- the invention relates to a flexible envelope-type shipping pouch.
- the pouch includes an internal pocket defining a receiving compartment of an article, an outer pocket incorporating the inner pocket, an opening arranged on the inner and outer pockets to access the compartment.
- the inner pocket and the outer pocket are secured between they so as to define an inflatable chamber around said inner pocket.
- This attachment between the inner and outer pockets can be made in various ways within the reach of those skilled in the art, for example by welding or gluing between several sheets or using a single folded sheet and having its edges welded or glued together.
- the pouch comprises a duct which extends inside the chamber.
- the conduit has an outlet that opens into the chamber and an entrance that opens on the outside of the pouch.
- the duct extends in the direction of the length of the pouch and is implemented directly between a face of the outer pouch and a face of the inner pouch so that the inflation of the chamber ensures the formation of at least one fold on the cover, said fold ensuring the closure of the conduit.
- the implementation of the conduit directly between a face of the outer pocket and a face of the inner pocket advantageously generates folds in the conduit during inflation of the pouch.
- the inflation of the pouch has the effect of deforming the outer pouch and the inner pouch by generating folds on the outer surface of the pouch. These folds on the cover closes the duct, which prevents air in the chamber from escaping through said duct.
- the sender has the article to be sent into the compartment by inserting it into the inner bag through the opening, then it inflates the chamber by blowing into the conduit; the inner pouch and the outer pouch deform during inflation, which allows the inner bag to marry the shape of the article contained in the compartment, so as to immobilize it properly.
- the pressure in the inflation chamber makes it possible to crush the duct that extends in said chamber, because of its flexibility. This crushing of the duct already limits in almost all the possibilities that the gaseous fluid - generally air - contained in the chamber can escape.
- the deformation of the inner pocket and the outer pocket makes it possible to generate one or more folds on the duct due to its implementation between two adjacent faces of said internal and external pockets, which naturally blocks this duct and prevents the to escape from the room.
- the inner pouch comprises a first face and the outer pouch has a first face.
- the conduit is implemented between side edges of the inner and outer pockets and a partial weld arranged between the first two faces along said side edges and with a slight spacing from said side edges.
- Other embodiments of the conduit could be provided between the first face of the outer pocket and the first face of the inner pocket, said duct being offset and independent of the lateral edges of the inner and outer pockets. It is also possible to implement the conduit between a second face of the outer pocket and a second face of the inner pocket.
- the duct extends over the length of the outer pouch so that the outlet of said conduit is positioned in the third third of the chamber from its end located at the opening.
- the outlet of the duct is located near the lower edge of the outer pocket.
- the length of the conduit is at least half the length of the pouch, preferably at least two-thirds of the length of the pouch, so as to ensure the presence of at least one crease on the duct during inflation of the chamber and, thus, the closure of said duct.
- the duct comprises a flat width, that is to say before the inflation of the chamber, between five and thirty millimeters (5 mm and 30 mm), preferably between eleven and twenty three millimeters (11 mm and 23 mm), preferably equal to twenty millimeters (20 mm).
- the pouch comprises a flap arranged to close the opening in a folded position and first adhesive means arranged to hold the flap in the folded position.
- the duct inlet opens on the outside of the pouch in a position such that the flap closes the duct in its folded position.
- the sender activates the first adhesive means and proceeds to fold the flap to close the opening, which concomitantly closes the conduit.
- the first adhesive means then maintain the flap in its folded position and, thus, the closed pipe, which permanently prevents any possibility of deflation of the chamber.
- Closing the duct when the flap is in its folded position can be obtained through various arrangements between the duct and the pouch.
- the duct inlet opens on the flap so that in its folded position, said flap folds the duct on itself to close it.
- the closure of the duct is obtained by folding the duct on itself when folding the flap.
- the inlet of the conduit opens on the outer pocket in an area where the first adhesive means are located when the flap is in the folded position.
- the duct inlet opens onto an outer wall of the outer pocket, in the area receiving the flap when it is folded and glued; the duct inlet is thus trapped by the first adhesive means and the flap glued to said outer wall, which closes the duct inlet.
- the flap comprises an upper part and a lower part in which the duct inlet is located.
- second temporary adhesive means are arranged on the upper part.
- the outer pouch is made of a material chosen from polyolefins and the inner pouch is also made of a material chosen from polyolefins. This will facilitate the recycling of the pouch after use.
- the pouch comprises on its upper front front anti-fraud detection means which cooperate with the first adhesive means in the folded position of the flap. This makes it possible to visualize whether the cover has been opened or not before being delivered to the addressee. Of course, one can envisage variants of pockets without such detection means.
- the inner pouch comprises a lower edge which is floating vis-à-vis the outer pocket.
- the inner pouch comprises a lower edge which is attached to an inner wall of the outer pouch.
- This second embodiment has the advantage, in comparison with the first embodiment, to completely immobilize the article in the inflated chamber.
- it comprises a rigid blowing tube partially incorporated in the duct for inflating the chamber, said tube being removable. This rigid tube makes it possible to inflate the chamber by simply blowing into said tube, without the need for additional inflation means of the compressor type.
- the tube is extracted, the extraction of the tube not only allows the duct to collapse at least partially under the pressure in said chamber, and especially the formation of at least one fold on the conduit ensuring its shutter.
- the closure of the duct is reinforced by the introduction of the flap in its folded position. Since the tube is not depressed over the entire length of the conduit, the end of the conduit remains free from the end of the tube, which allows the exit of the conduit to collapse under the effect of the pressure in the chamber when the sender stops blowing into the tube and during the extraction of said tube, thus avoiding the deflation of the chamber.
- the tube may be prepositioned in the conduit; on the contrary, it is possible to insert the tube when the pouch is used.
- the diameter of the rigid tube is between three and fifteen millimeters (3 mm and 15 mm), preferably between eight and eleven millimeters (8 mm and 11 mm), preferably equal to nine millimeters (9 mm).
- the diameter of the rigid tube is related to the flat width of the duct, which prevents an escape of the air blown on the sides of the duct during inflation of the chamber and appropriately maintains the rigid tube when it is prepositioned in the duct before using the pouch.
- the length of the rigid tube is between half and two-thirds of the length of the pouch. This makes it possible to drive the rigid tube sufficiently into the duct so that air can easily enter the chamber during inflation by blowing normally into the rigid tube with the mouth.
- the rigid tube in the presence of the flap comprising an upper part and a lower part in which the inlet of the duct is located and second temporary adhesive means are arranged on the upper part, the rigid tube is prepositioned in the duct, before use.
- the upper portion of the flap can be folded over the end of the rigid tube with the second adhesive means which provides a provisional retention folded of said upper part on the lower part of the flap, which protects the end of the rigid tube against soiling, before use.

- the inlet 10a of the duct 10 corresponds with the orifice 9 and the outlet 10a of said duct 10 opens into the chamber 4.
- the flap 7 is folded over the upper front part of the pouch 1, by folding it along a first fold line 11, the conduit 10 is also folded on itself, which closes said conduit 10 at said line folding 11.
- the pouch 1 comprises an anti-fraud strip 12 incorporating a display system of a fraudulent opening.
- anti-fraud visualization system are well known in the field of envelopes or bags, particularly for the transport of valuables.
- the anti-fraud strip 12 is positioned in the upper front part of the pouch 1.
- the pouch 1 also comprises an adhesive layer 13 provisionally coated with a protective strip 14.
- This adhesive layer 13 is disposed on the inner face 7a of the flap 7.
- the adhesive layer 13 rests on the anti-fraud strip 12 and on the front upper portion of the pouch 1, which keeps the opening 5 closed and the conduit 10 folded on itself.
- the adhesive layer 13 ensures a permanent closure of the pouch 1, the release of the flap 7 for opening the pouch 1 activating the anti-fraud strip 12.
- the lower edge 25 of the inner bag 2 can remain free vis-à-vis the outer pocket 3, as shown in Figure 4.
- the pouch 1 comprises a rigid tube 15, shown alone in FIG. 2, which is inserted through the orifice 9, inside the duct 10.
- This rigid tube 15 extends partially into the duct 10 so as to keep the output 10b of said flexible conduit 10, which allows said output 10b to close when the chamber 4 is inflated and thus virtually prevents the air from escaping the chamber 4 even before the total sealing of the duct 10 obtained by placing the flap 7.
- the diameter of the rigid tube 15 is chosen in proportion to the flat width of the duct 10.
- the diameter of the rigid tube 15 is between three and fifteen millimeters (3 mm and 15 mm).
- the diameter of the rigid tube 15 is between eight and eleven millimeters (8 mm and 11 mm). mm).
- the diameter of the rigid tube 15 is nine millimeters (9 mm). This prevents an escape of the air blown on the sides of the duct during the inflation of the chamber. In addition, this makes it possible to keep the rigid tube 15 properly when it is prepositioned in the duct 10 before the use of the pouch; in other words, the rigid tube 15 can not slide completely into the conduit 10 so that its end 15a always protrudes from the opening
- the length of the rigid tube is between half and two-thirds of the length of the pouch. This makes it possible to drive the rigid tube 15 sufficiently into the duct
- the pouch 1 is designed so that the rigid tube 15 is prepositioned in the duct 10 and for the end 15a of said rigid tube 15 to be protected against soiling before the use of the pouch 1.
- the flap 7 is dimensioned to protrude sufficiently far from the end 15a of the rigid tube 15 in position in the duct 10, only said end 15a protruding from the opening 9.
- Provisional 17 is arranged on the width of the flap 7, near its upper end 7b, as shown in Figure 1.
- the upper portion 7c of the flap 7, located between the upper end 7b and a second fold line 18, is folded against the lower part 7d of said flap 7, located between the first fold line 11 and the second fold line 18, the temporary adhesive tape 17 ensuring the maintenance of said upper part 7c folded contr e said lower part 7d, which protects the end 15a of the rigid tube 15.
- the user releases the upper portion 7c of the flap to access the end 15a of the rigid tube 15 and inflate the chamber 4.
- pouch variants 1 without providing such protection against the end 15a of the rigid tube 7 against soiling, in which case the flap 7 may be shorter and not be equipped with the temporary adhesive tape 17 .
- the duct 10 can be implemented on the same principle as previously described, between the second face 22 of the inner pocket 2 and the second face 32 of the outer pocket 3.
- the orifice 9, c that is, the inlet 10a of the duct 10
- the adhesive layer 13 and said flap 7 cover said orifice 9, this which also closes the duct 10 in the folded position of said flap 7.
- the arrangement of the duct 10 between the first face 21 of the inner pocket 2 and the first face 31 of the outer pocket 3 or between the second face 22 of the inner pocket 2 and the second face 32 of the outer pocket 3 allows ensure the formation of folds on the cover 1 and on the duct 10 during inflation of the chamber 4. These folds on the duct 10 then naturally provide its closure, which prevents the deflation of the chamber 4 before even setting up flap 7. The establishment of the flap 7 simply ensures against any risk of deflation of the chamber 4. However, it is understood that, in the context of the invention, it is possible to consider variants of pockets without any flap .
- the pouch 1 will also include on at least one of its outer walls lb, a window (not shown) to write the address of the recipient and possibly that of the sender, especially before the inflation of the chamber 4.
