DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a breathable packaging bag which can be sold over the counter in a state in which products which require particularly breathability, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, are stored, and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Small vegetables such as green soybeans and okra, and small fruits such as kumquat (collectively referred to as fresh fruits and vegetables including such vegetables and fruits) are stored in packaging bags and sold over the counter. Therefore, it is necessary to guarantee air permeability in order to maintain freshness. For this reason, conventionally, there has been provided a tubular bag formed of a net tube having a stretchable mesh in which a large number of monofilament-shaped filaments are crossed and integrated.
That is, while cutting the net tube to a predetermined length, forming a tubular bag having a bottom by bundling and welding one end, storing fruit and vegetables in the tubular bag, and then stapling the paper header. This closes the opening of the tubular bag. However, since such a tubular bag is formed in a tubular shape, it swells in a radial direction in a state in which fruits and vegetables are stored, and the appearance for displaying products is not good.

[0003] By the way, the present applicant has proposed various types of packaging bags which can be sold over the counter in a state in which various small articles are stored. Such packaging bags include a front film made of a synthetic resin film and a front film made of a synthetic resin film. A substantially rectangular bag is constructed by fusing and welding the back film,
If necessary, a hanging header is provided at the top of the bag.
Therefore, the bag body swells in both front and back directions in a state in which the product is stored, thereby distorting the peripheral edge. However, the peripheral edge can be generally maintained in a shape close to the original rectangle, so that the appearance for displaying the product is not bad. However, when such a packaging bag is used as a packaging bag for fresh fruits and vegetables as described above, the stored fresh fruits and vegetables are hermetically sealed, poor in air permeability, and quickly deteriorated in freshness. That is, fresh fruits and vegetables maintain their freshness by respiration, and if the air permeability is impaired, they deteriorate early.

[0004]

Accordingly, the present inventors, when forming a packaging bag for fresh fruits and vegetables, constituted a net sheet portion made of synthetic resin on both sides of the bag body, and formed a net sheet portion on both front and back sides. If a substantially rectangular bag body is formed as a whole by welding, necessary and sufficient air permeability is guaranteed, and the appearance appearance in the product storage state as described above is good,
We have learned that we can provide an ideal packaging bag for fresh fruits and vegetables.

[0005] Then, when a material usable for the synthetic resin net sheet constituting such a packaging bag was searched, the following problems were further found. (1) Fresh fruits and vegetables as described above are relatively small bulk goods, but due to the packaging of fixed quantities, the packaging bag easily swells when the goods are stored from a flat state, ideally a net. It is desirable that the part expands and contracts. Therefore, if you use a synthetic resin net sheet that constitutes a stretchable mesh made by intersecting and integrating a large number of monofilament-shaped filaments, if both front and back net sheet parts are superimposed and fused and welded on both side edges It has been found that a bag that meets this requirement can be provided. However, when products are actually stored in a packaging bag made with such a net sheet, the fusing and welding parts of the front and back net sheets are easily peeled off, and it turns out that it is completely unusable. did. (2) Regarding the bag making method, as in the case of the conventional film bag, after the band-shaped net sheet is polymerized half-fold in the band width direction, the sheet is formed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the half-folded net sheet. A technique for fusing and welding the front and back net sheet portions in the width direction is expected. According to this, bag production with high productivity can be performed. However, since the net sheet constituting the mesh formed of the monofilament-shaped filaments as described above is rich in elasticity and extremely low in shape retention, it is extremely difficult to fold the strip-shaped net sheet in half. In particular, since the mesh is easily deformed while expanding and contracting at the time of half-folding, the opposing edges of the folded net sheet are not aligned in line with each other, and it is extremely difficult to form a bag of a desired form. is there.

[0006]

At portions located at the welding lines 6, 6, 10, and 14, a ribbon portion 17 having a flat filament 15 is formed. Such a ribbon portion 17 is positioned at the welding line and pressed by a heating body such as a hot plate until the filaments 15 constituting the front and back net sheet portions 2 and 3 are formed into a flat sheet-like ribbon shape. It is formed by continuing.

The ribbon portions 17 formed on the net welding lines 6 on both side edges of the bag body 1 are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and are positioned on the receiving welding lines 14 of the receiving pieces 13. The formed ribbon portion 17 is shown in FIG. Although the sealing piece welding wire 10 of the sealing piece 9 is not shown, a similar ribbon portion 17 is formed.

Are welded in a state in which the grid-like ribbon portions 17 in which the filaments 15 are formed flat are superimposed on each other, and are firmly connected not by linear welding but by planar welding. Such welding is achieved by crimping a heating body such as a hot plate from both the front and back surfaces with the net welding wires 6 interposed therebetween.

As shown in FIG. 2, the welding wire 14 formed on the receiving piece 13 is heated from the outside of the receiving piece 13 by heating the hot plate or the like from the outside of the receiving piece 13 with the receiving plate inserted inside the front net sheet portion 2. It is formed by pressing the body, whereby the receiving piece 13 is welded to the wire 15 located on the receiving piece welding wire 14 while compressing and deforming the wire 15 to form a flat ribbon portion 17. Then, a planar welding connection between the receiving piece 13 and the ribbon portion 17 is achieved. Although not shown, the sealing piece welding wire 10 of the sealing piece 9 is similarly heated from the outside of the sealing piece 9 by a heating element such as a hot plate with the receiving plate inserted inside the back net sheet portion 2. It is formed by pressure bonding, and achieves a planar welding connection between the sealing piece 9 and the ribbon portion 17.

[Embodiment of Bag Making Method] The material for forming the front and back net sheets 2 and 3 of the bag 1 is shown in FIG.
A net tube 18 as shown in FIG. As described above, the net tube 18 forms a stretchable mesh in which a large number of monofilament-shaped filaments 15 having a substantially circular or elliptical cross section are crossed and integrated, and as a flexible tube body. It is integrally molded.

As shown in FIG. 5, such a net tube 18 is wound in a longitudinal direction so as to form a roll 18a. Therefore, the net tube 18 constituting the roll 18a is tightened in a flat and flat form, thereby forming fold curves 19 and 20 substantially parallel to two opposing sides of the flat tube, as shown in FIG. It has been impatient. That is, the filament 15 constituting the tube is bent at the folding curves 19 and 20 to have a bending habit. The net tube 18 wound around the roll 18a
When the bending habits of the folding curves 19 and 20 are not sufficient, the paper is fed and then passed through a pair of sandwiching rollers to form the bending curves 19 and 20 having a sufficient bending habit. May be.

Therefore, the net tube 18 having the folding curves 19 and 20 and having a flat and flat shape is fed out from the roll 18a in the longitudinal direction (net tube feeding step).

The net tube 18 fed from the roll 18a is cut by a cutting means 21 having a cutting blade or a low-temperature fusing blade.
And the incision means 21 causes one of the fold curves 20
As shown in FIG. 4 (B), the front and back net sheet portions 2 extending in a half-fold state from the other fold curve 19 are cut along
3 is formed to form a half-folded net sheet 22 (incision step). Net tube 18 and half-folded net sheet 22
Because, if tension is applied in the transport state, the entire mesh will be easily deformed by easily deforming the mesh,
The sheet is sent to the intermittent drive rollers 23, 23 without tension without passing through a tension applying roll such as a step roll, and is intermittently transported. For this reason, the half-fold net sheet 22 cut by the cutting means 21 does not cause distortion,
As a result, the opposing edges 2b, 3b of the front and back net sheet portions 2, 3 cut along the folding curve 20 are aligned in a straight line with each other.

In order to provide the sealing piece 9, as shown in FIG. 5, a belt-like film 24 is unwound from a roll 24a.

In order to provide the receiving piece 13, as shown in FIG. 5, when the tape film 26 is unwound from the roll 26a and is passed through the intermittent driving roller 23,
It is superposed on the outside of the facing edge 2b of the front net sheet portion 2 of the half-fold net sheet 22 (tape film feeding polymerization step). It is preferable that the tape film 26 fed from the roll 26a be sent to the intermittent drive rollers 23 without applying tension, but as shown by a chain line in FIG. You may let it go.

Then, the half-folded net sheet 22 having passed through the intermittent drive roller 23 is intermittently transported from above and below with the tape film 26 and the belt-like film 24 superposed thereon, and is heated by a heating plate 28 such as a hot plate, an ultrasonic wave or a high frequency electrode. 29, the receiving piece welding wire 14 and the sealing piece 10 as described above are formed,
They are integrally joined (film welding wire forming step). At this time, as described above, the ribbon portion 17 is formed on the front and back net sheet portions 2 and 3 and is welded to the respective films 24 and 26 two-dimensionally.

Subsequently, the heating member 30 such as a hot plate or an ultrasonic or high-frequency electrode is used to separate the front and back net sheet portions 2 and 3 in the width direction of the half-folded net sheet 22 at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the half-folded net sheet 22. Is formed, and the front and back net sheet portions 2 and 3 are integrally joined (a net welding wire forming step). Thus, the ribbon portion 17 is formed on the front and back net sheet portions 2 and 3, and the ribbon portion 1 is formed.
As described above, the parts 7 and 17 can be welded to each other. At this time, the facing edges 2b and 3b of the front and back net sheet portions 2 and 3 are covered with the tape film 26 and the band-shaped film 24, respectively. Each of the films 26 and 24 is also formed with the net welding wire 6 at the same time and is welded and integrated with the front and back net sheet portions 2 and 3.

Thereafter, by the dividing means 31, the combined body of the half-folded net sheet 22, the band-shaped film 24 and the tape film 26 which is intermittently transferred is cut along the dividing line C located at the center of the width W of the net welding line 6. By dividing,
A bag 1 is obtained. The bag 1 is delivered to a predetermined position by a take-up conveyor 32. Although the cutting means 31 may use a cutting cutter, it is preferable to use a fusing blade.

[0031]

According to the breathable packaging bag of the present invention, it is possible to provide the bag body 1 having the front and back net sheet portions 2 and 3 on both sides sandwiching the article storage room 4, so that the bag 1 is particularly breathable such as fresh fruits and vegetables. The freshness of the product requiring the property can be suitably maintained, and in the product storage state, the bag body 1 swells on both the front and back surfaces and does not swell in the radial direction as in the conventional net tube bag, and the periphery thereof is somewhat increased. Although the warp is distorted, the entire periphery can be maintained in a shape close to the original rectangle, so that the appearance for displaying the goods is good.

In particular, folding a band-shaped net sheet
When forming the front and back net sheet part with
The monofilament filaments expand and contract easily and deform easily
Although it is difficult to form the bag 1 holding the desired form,
Thus, according to the present invention, a preformed tube-shaped
Half-fold formed by cutting the cut tube 18
From the net sheet 22 to the front and back net sheet portions 2 of the bag 1,
3 has been configured so that a matched net without distortion
Can provide a bag-shaped body 1. The front and back net sheets 2 and 3 form a stretchable mesh in which a large number of monofilament-shaped filaments 15 are crossed and integrated at a portion facing the article storage chamber 4, so that the net sheets 2 and 3 are air-permeable and at the same time provide a product for the product. Good fit. In this regard, such a net material is conventionally considered to be unable to be firmly welded, but according to the present invention, the wire located at the net welding wire 6 The strip 15 is deformed from a monofilament shape to form a flat ribbon portion 17, and the ribbon portions 17 of the front and back net sheets 2 and 3 are formed.
17 have a remarkable effect in that sufficient mechanical strength is satisfied and a practical breathable packaging bag can be provided.

When a bag-like net is formed by half-folding a band-like net sheet in the band width direction as in the case of a conventional film-made bag when the bag 1 is formed, a monofilament-like linear filament is formed at the time of folding. Has a problem in that the net sheet formed from the above is freely expanded and contracted and easily deformed, and the opposed edges of the bent net sheet are not aligned with each other in a straight line, making it difficult to form a desired bag body. On the other hand, according to the production method of the present invention, the tubular net tube 18 is used instead of the belt-shaped net sheet, and the net tubes 18 are provided with the bending curves 19 and 20 which are substantially parallel to each other.
The front and back net sheet portions 2 and 3 in a half-folded state were provided by cutting out the flat net tube 18 along one fold curve 20 by feeding out the flat net tube 18 in the longitudinal direction (net tube feeding step). Half folded net sheet 2
2 (cutting step), the front and back net sheet portions 2 and 3 cut along the fold curve 20 do not cause distortion in the half-folded net sheet 22 obtained thereby, and face the opposite end. The edges 2b, 3b are aligned in a straight line with each other and aligned, and the bag 1 completed through various processes including the subsequent net welding wire forming process and the cutting process has high quality and high accuracy. It works.
