Description

DESCRIPTION

Bag for fruit and vegetable products and similar

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The present invention refers to a bag designed mainly to contain and transport certain products, especially fruit and vegetable products, with the particularity that it is a 100% recyclable bag, obtained from paper, without losing resistance characteristics, reliability and manageability with respect to known bags.

It is also an object of the invention to provide a bag with a structure such that it allows its manufacture/sale in small batches, as well as to carry out the packaging and closing of the bag manually in the last instance, that is to say without the need for any type of associated machinery.

Thus, the technical field in which the present invention falls within the industrial sector dedicated to the provision of bags for the packaging of products, mainly in the fruit and vegetable sector.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As is known, there is currently a great concern worldwide about the need to reduce, in the most urgent and effective way possible, the consequences derived from the use of the huge amount of plastics that are currently used for the manufacture of multiple articles. of common, daily use, sometimes as the only base material or on other occasions combined with other materials, and of which a large part of these plastics, once they have fulfilled the purpose for which they were used, are not recycled adequately with the consequent environmental damage that this causes.

Thus, the uncontrolled dumping of these plastic materials is resulting in increasing environmental pollution that already directly affects environmental environments, especially the land and crops that are produced, rivers, seas and also to the animals that inhabit these environments, including the human beings that inhabit the various spaces where said waste is deposited or that, where appropriate, consume products, vegetable or animal, that have been affected by these uncontrolled dumping as occurs , for example, with the consumption of vegetables, fish, or others.

These residual materials also underlie the basis of global warming, given the difficulty for their natural degradation and without foreseeing a short-term solution.

For all these reasons, it is easy to understand the need for this type of plastic material to be both adequately recycled and, preferably, replaced by others that are more compatible with the environment and that do not have the direct or indirect consequences associated with plastic materials.

As is known, one cause of the problem posed lies in the large number of bags that are used daily throughout the world for the transport and packaging of a multiplicity of products, for consumption or of another type, which are made from plastic materials. . Of special interest are the plastic bags used daily for the packaging and transport of products such as fruit and vegetables, and more especially those intended for the packaging of potatoes and citrus fruits.

In these applications, in an attempt to reduce the consequences of the problem, very thin plastics are being used to manufacture the bags with a view to reducing as much as possible the amount of plastic used, even though, although manages to partially reduce the magnitude of the problem with the adoption of measures of this type, the truth is that the problem raised is not completely eliminated and continues to affect the environment in the way already described, although to a lesser extent.

Trying to avoid this problem, the applicant himself is the holder of the invention patent P 202030907, which describes a procedure for preparing a paper web that incorporates a composite paper mesh, intended for the manufacture of bags for food products. fruit and vegetable type, where the realization of the composite mesh comprises a process that includes dividing a reel of paper into continuous longitudinal strips, transversally segmenting a reel of paper to prepare crossbars that are applied to two parallel longitudinal strips separated from each other, in successive positions spaced along said strips and linked by gluing, and applied to the reticular structure of support base thus obtained a mesh of paper thread that is attached to the support base by gluing, and capable of being divided into portions applicable to the coverage of windows or openings included in the paper band, all with the help of automated means.

Although this type of bag solves the previously exposed technical problem, it is about devices that are formed from a tubular roll that is cut and sealed transversally through a vertical machine, so that said machinery is required for its packaging, since these types of bags are not supplied individually.

Obviously, the acquisition of this type of machinery is not economically viable in industries/businesses in which the volume of bags to be packed is relatively small.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The bag for fruit and vegetable products and the like that is recommended solves in a completely satisfactory way the previously exposed problem, based on a simple but effective solution.

For this, the bag of the invention constitutes an individual element that allows the packaging of products both in an industrialized way and in the trade itself, that is, with much smaller volumes of bags, all with a 100% recyclable structure, paper-based, resistant and comfortable to transport, all without the need for any type of machinery to close the container.

More specifically, the bag of the invention is constituted from the development of a rectangular sheet of paper/cardboard with three transversal folding lines that define a bellows-type bottom for it as well as its side walls, the latter being fixed to each other. through its lateral edges by gluing, to define a practicable mouthpiece, which can be reinforced by folding or folds towards the interior of one or both edges of the mouthpiece thereof, mouthpiece that includes internally on one of the two walls of the bag an adhesive sheet protected with a sheet of waxed or silicone paper, removable after filling the bag with the products in question, to seal the mouth of the same, quickly and easily.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention, a wide window will be established on at least one of the walls of the bag for viewing the products contained within, a window that is assisted by a mesh of paper thread that prevents the outlet for the products contained within the bag, and which is fixed internally to said wall through a rectangular and perimeter frame, also made of paper, which is fixed by adhesive to said set.

Finally, it only remains to point out that the bag will be equipped with carrying handles, based on respective paper cords in the shape of an inverted "U" that are fixed to the internal faces of the bag at the level of its mouth by means of rectangular pieces. of paper that are fixed by means of adhesive on said internal faces with the interposition of the free ends of said paper cords.

In this way, a bag is achieved that can be supplied empty to be filled and sealed in the trade itself, without the need for specialized machinery, easy and convenient to use, totally ecological.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is going to be made below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of its practical embodiment, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:
