Description
本発明は、パウチの表裏両面を構成するプラスチックフイルムの周縁部をヒートシールしてなる平パウチタイプのプラスチックパウチに関する。本発明のプラスチックパウチは、液状物、固形物或いはこれらの混合物からなるレトルト食品等の内容物を充填し、電子レンジ加熱調理用パウチとして好適に用いられる。 The present invention relates to a flat pouch type plastic pouch formed by heat-sealing the peripheral edge of a plastic film constituting both front and back surfaces of the pouch. The plastic pouch of the present invention is filled with contents such as a retort food made of a liquid, a solid or a mixture thereof, and is suitably used as a microwave cooking pouch.
レトルト食品、冷凍食品などを充填密封した包装袋を電子レンジで加熱すると、加熱に伴って内容物から発生する水蒸気等により袋内部の圧力が上昇し、包装袋が破裂して内容物が飛散するとともに、電子レンジ内を汚したり、人体に対してやけ等の危害を与えるおそれがある。 When a packaging bag filled and sealed with retort food, frozen food, etc. is heated in a microwave oven, the pressure inside the bag rises due to water vapor generated from the contents during heating, and the packaging bag bursts and the contents scatter. At the same time, the inside of the microwave oven may be soiled, or the human body may be burned.
このため、このような包装袋を電子レンジで加熱調理する前に、包装袋を予め部分的に開封しておいたり、包装袋本体に孔を開けることにより包装袋内で発生する水蒸気等を外部に排出し、包装袋の破袋を防止する方法がとられている。
しかしながら、このような方法は一般消費者にとっては手間のかかるものであるとともに、電子レンジ加熱により発生した水蒸気が直ちに包装袋外へ排出されるために、水蒸気による加熱蒸らし効果が低減し、食味が落ちるという欠点がある。
For this reason, before such a packaging bag is cooked in a microwave oven, the packaging bag is partially opened in advance, or water vapor generated in the packaging bag is generated by opening a hole in the packaging bag body. A method is taken to prevent the packaging bag from being broken.
However, such a method is time-consuming for general consumers, and since steam generated by microwave heating is immediately discharged out of the packaging bag, the steaming effect by steam is reduced and the taste is reduced. There is a drawback of falling.
このような問題点を解決するために、電子レンジ加熱時におけるパウチ内の内圧上昇を自動的に逃がすために、パウチの内圧上昇によって自動開口する機構を設けたプラスチックパウチが種々提案されている。
このような自動開口機構を設けたプラスチックパウチとしては、パウチを電子レンジ内で自立させて加熱するスタンディングパウチや（例えば、特許文献１、２参照）、平袋や分岐部に自動開口機構を設けた分岐型パウチのように包装袋を電子レンジ内で寝かせて加熱する平置き型パウチ等（例えば特許文献３〜５参照）、種々のタイプのものが知られている。
In order to solve such problems, various types of plastic pouches have been proposed that are provided with a mechanism that automatically opens when the internal pressure of the pouch rises in order to automatically release the increase of the internal pressure in the pouch during microwave heating.
As a plastic pouch provided with such an automatic opening mechanism, a standing pouch that heats the pouch by being self-supported in a microwave oven (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2), an automatic opening mechanism is provided in a flat bag or a branch part. Various types are known, such as a flat-type pouch that lays a packaging bag in a microwave oven and heats it like a branched pouch (see, for example, Patent Documents 3 to 5).
これらのパウチの中で、生産性やコストの点で最も優れているものは平パウチタイプのパウチであるが、このタイプのパウチは電子レンジでの調理時、及び内圧上昇によりパウチが自動開口した後に、自動開口機構の位置を高い位置に安定して保持することができないために、パウチの内容物が自動開口部から噴き出したり、漏れ出したりするという欠点があった。
このため、平パウチタイプの電子レンジ加熱調理用パウチの自動開口機構を高い位置に保持するために、個装箱等の補助具を使用することも提案されているが（特許文献６参照）、パウチとは別体の補助具を使用するので面倒であり、またコストアップにつながるという問題があった。
Among these pouches, the most excellent in terms of productivity and cost is a flat pouch type pouch, but this type of pouch is automatically opened when cooking in a microwave oven or when the internal pressure increases. Later, since the position of the automatic opening mechanism cannot be stably held at a high position, there is a drawback that the contents of the pouch are ejected from the automatic opening or leaked out.
For this reason, in order to hold the automatic opening mechanism of the flat pouch-type microwave heating cooking pouch at a high position, it has been proposed to use an auxiliary tool such as an individual packaging box (see Patent Document 6). There is a problem that it is troublesome because it uses an auxiliary tool separate from the pouch, and it leads to cost increase.
本発明は、上記従来技術の問題点を解消して、低コストで効率良く生産可能で、電子レンジ内に平置きして加熱調理する際に、補助具を使用せずに、パウチの内圧上昇により自動開口する自動開口機構の位置を高い位置に安定して保持することのできる、平パウチタイプのプラスチックパウチを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, can be produced efficiently at low cost, and increases the internal pressure of the pouch without using an auxiliary tool when cooking horizontally and cooking in a microwave oven. An object of the present invention is to provide a flat pouch-type plastic pouch that can stably hold the automatic opening mechanism that automatically opens at a high position.
本発明者等は鋭意検討した結果、プラスチックパウチを構成する少なくとも一方のフイルムをパウチの幅方向全長にわたって折返し、周縁部をヒートシールしてパウチ本体と連通する折返し部を形成することによって上記課題が解決されることを発見し、本発明を完成したものである。 As a result of intensive studies, the inventors have turned back at least one film constituting the plastic pouch over the entire length in the width direction of the pouch, and heat-sealed the peripheral portion to form a folded portion communicating with the pouch body. The present invention has been completed by discovering that the problem is solved.

つぎに、図面に基づいて本発明の平パウチタイプのプラスチックパウチの構成について説明するが、以下の具体例は本発明を限定するものではない。

Next, the structure of the flat pouch type plastic pouch of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the following specific examples do not limit the present invention.
1-3 is a figure which shows an example of the plastic pouch of this invention, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram explaining the manufacturing process of a pouch, FIG. 2 is the top view which looked at the pouch from the back side.
FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing a state in which this pouch is heated in a microwave oven, (A) shows a state where the pouch is not opened and is being cooked, and (B) shows a state where the pouch is partially opened. Indicates that cooking has been completed.
このパウチ１は、パウチの表面を構成するフイルム１１とパウチの裏面を構成するフイルム１２を重ね合わせ、周縁部をヒートシールすることによって製造される。その際に、パウチの裏面を構成するフイルム１２を、パウチの幅方向全長にわたってＺ字形に折返し、内容物の充填口４となる一方の短辺端部を除いて周縁部をヒートシールすることによって、パウチ本体と連通する折返し部２を形成する。また、充填口４とは反対側の短辺端部には、周縁シール部をパウチ内方に向けてＵ字形に突出させ、突出部６内に開孔（貫通孔）部７を設けることによって弱化部を有する蒸気抜きシール部を形成し、パウチを電子レンジで加熱した際に自動的に開口する自動開口機構５としている。
弱化部の形成方法としては、開孔（貫通孔）に代えて半貫通孔、スリットや未シール部を設ける等、他の公知の方法を採用できることは勿論である。
The pouch 1 is manufactured by superimposing a film 11 constituting the front surface of the pouch and a film 12 constituting the back surface of the pouch and heat-sealing the peripheral edge. At that time, the film 12 constituting the back surface of the pouch is folded back in a Z shape over the entire length in the width direction of the pouch, and the peripheral edge portion is heat-sealed except for one short side end portion which becomes the filling port 4 of the contents. The folded portion 2 communicating with the pouch body is formed. Further, a peripheral seal portion is projected in a U shape toward the inside of the pouch at the short side end opposite to the filling port 4, and an opening (through hole) portion 7 is provided in the projection 6. A steam vent seal portion having a weakened portion is formed, and the automatic opening mechanism 5 is automatically opened when the pouch is heated in a microwave oven.
As a method for forming the weakened portion, it goes without saying that other known methods such as providing a semi-through hole, a slit or an unsealed portion instead of the opening (through hole) can be adopted.
このパウチ１内にレトルト食品等の内容物を充填した後に、充填口４をヒートシールして密封したパウチを電子レンジ内に平置きして加熱調理すると、内容物から発生した水蒸気等によってパウチの内圧が上昇し、パウチが膨張する。その際にパウチ裏面１２に設けられた折返し部２内にも水蒸気が侵入し、折返し部２を起点にして自動開口機構５を設けたパウチ端部が立上がる（図３（Ａ）参照）。 After filling the pouch 1 with the contents such as the retort food, when the pouch sealed by sealing the filling port 4 with heat is placed in a microwave oven and cooked, the pouch is heated by steam generated from the contents. The internal pressure rises and the pouch expands. At this time, water vapor also enters the folded portion 2 provided on the back surface 12 of the pouch, and the end portion of the pouch provided with the automatic opening mechanism 5 rises from the folded portion 2 (see FIG. 3A).
パウチ１の内圧の上昇にともなって、自動開口機構５の突出部６の先端に応力が集中して、シール部が徐々にパウチ外側に向って剥離し、開孔７に剥離が到達するとパウチが部分的に開口し、水蒸気等が開孔７から外部に排出され、パウチの内圧が低下する。この時にも、パウチ裏面１２に設けた折返し部２がスタンドのような役割をはたし、開口した自動開口機構５が高い位置に安定して保持される（図３（Ｂ）参照）。
このように、このパウチ１では、電子レンジによる加熱調理中及び調理終了後も、パウチに形成した自動開口機構５が高い位置に保持され、内容物の噴き出しや漏れ出しを防止することができる。
As the internal pressure of the pouch 1 increases, stress concentrates on the tip of the protruding portion 6 of the automatic opening mechanism 5, and the seal portion gradually peels toward the outside of the pouch. Partially opening, water vapor or the like is discharged to the outside through the opening 7, and the internal pressure of the pouch is lowered. Also at this time, the folded-back portion 2 provided on the back surface 12 of the pouch functions like a stand, and the opened automatic opening mechanism 5 is stably held at a high position (see FIG. 3B).
Thus, in this pouch 1, the automatic opening mechanism 5 formed in the pouch is held at a high position even during cooking by the microwave oven and after the end of cooking, and the contents can be prevented from being ejected or leaked out.
図４及び図５は、本発明のプラスチックパウチの他の例を示す図であり、図４はパウチの製造工程を説明する模式図であり、図５はパウチを裏側から見た平面図である。
このパウチ２１では、パウチ裏面を構成するフイルム１２をパウチの幅方向全長にわたってＺ字形に折返した後に、さらに逆Ｚ字状に折返すことによって折返し部２を形成する。また、周縁シール部をパウチ内方に向けてＵ字形に突出させ、突出部６内にパウチ外部に通じる開孔７を設けることによって、自動開口機構５を形成している。パウチ２１の他の構成は、図１〜図３のパウチ１と同様である。
4 and 5 are views showing another example of the plastic pouch according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is a schematic view for explaining the manufacturing process of the pouch. FIG. 5 is a plan view of the pouch as viewed from the back side. .
In this pouch 21, the film 12 constituting the back surface of the pouch is folded back in a Z shape over the entire length in the width direction of the pouch, and then folded back in an inverted Z shape to form the folded portion 2. In addition, the automatic opening mechanism 5 is formed by projecting the peripheral seal portion in a U-shape toward the inside of the pouch and providing an opening 7 in the projection 6 that communicates with the outside of the pouch. Other configurations of the pouch 21 are the same as those of the pouch 1 shown in FIGS.
このパウチ２１では、折返し部２の両側でフイルムを折返したことによって、パウチ２１を電子レンジで加熱調理する際に、水蒸気の侵入によっておし拡げられる折返し部２の容積が大きくなるので、折返し部２を起点とするパウチ端部の立上がりが容易になり、自動開口機構５をより高い位置に安定して保持することが可能になる。 In this pouch 21, since the film is folded on both sides of the folded portion 2, the volume of the folded portion 2 that is spread by steam intrusion when the pouch 21 is cooked in a microwave oven increases. As a result, the end of the pouch starting from 2 can be easily raised, and the automatic opening mechanism 5 can be stably held at a higher position.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged schematic view illustrating a process of forming a folded portion of a pouch.
In this pouch 31, by folding both the film 11 constituting the front surface of the pouch and the film 12 constituting the back surface into the opposite Z-shape and the Z-shape at the same position, the folded portions 32 and 32 are formed on both sides of the pouch. Form.
この折返し部３２、３２を形成する際に、図８にみられるように、周縁シール部３、３を構成する表面フイルム１１及び裏面フイルム１２の最外層に配置されるフイルムよりも内層に位置するフイルムに開孔部３３（この例では計４箇所）を設け、該開孔部３３を介して表裏両面の最外層に配置されたフイルム１１、１２をヒートシールするものである。
折返し部３２におけるヒートシールをこのよう構成とすることによって、折返し部３２、３２における周縁シール部３のヒートシール強度を高め、パウチ３１を電子レンジで加熱調理する際の、パウチ端部の立上りを確実なものとすることができる。
なお、折返し部の周縁シール部内層に位置するフイルムに開孔部を設ける上記の構成は、パウチの裏面フイルムにのみ折返し部を形成する図１〜図５のパウチにも適用することができる。
When the folded portions 32 and 32 are formed, as shown in FIG. 8, the folded portions 32 and 32 are positioned in an inner layer than the film disposed in the outermost layer of the front surface film 11 and the back surface film 12 constituting the peripheral seal portions 3 and 3. The film is provided with opening portions 33 (in this example, a total of four locations), and the films 11 and 12 disposed on the outermost layers on both the front and back surfaces are heat-sealed through the opening portions 33.
By configuring the heat seal in the folded portion 32 in this manner, the heat seal strength of the peripheral seal portion 3 in the folded portions 32 and 32 is increased, and the rising edge of the pouch end when the pouch 31 is cooked in a microwave oven. It can be certain.
In addition, said structure which provides an opening part in the film located in the peripheral seal part inner layer of a folding | turning part is applicable also to the pouch of FIGS. 1-5 which forms a folding | turning part only in the back surface film of a pouch.
また、このパウチ３１では自動開口機構３５として、周縁シール部３から分離した位置で表裏両面のフイルムをヒートシールし、このヒートシール部３６内に開孔（貫通孔）３７を設けることによって、弱化部３７を有する蒸気抜きシール部３６を形成している。
弱化部３７の形成方法としては、開孔（貫通孔）に代えて半貫通孔、スリットや未シール部を設ける等、他の公知の方法を採用できることは勿論である。
Further, in this pouch 31, the automatic opening mechanism 35 is weakened by heat-sealing the film on both the front and back surfaces at a position separated from the peripheral seal portion 3, and providing an opening (through hole) 37 in the heat seal portion 36. A steam release seal portion 36 having a portion 37 is formed.
As a method of forming the weakened portion 37, it is needless to say that other known methods such as providing a semi-through hole, a slit or an unsealed portion instead of the opening (through hole) can be adopted.
図９〜図１１は、本発明のプラスチックパウチの他の例を示す図であり、図９はパウチの製造工程を説明する模式図、図１０はパウチを裏側から見た平面図、そして図１１はパウチを電子レンジ内で加熱した状態を表す模式図である。
このパウチ４２では、パウチの一端部よりの位置で、パウチ裏面を構成するフイルム１２をパウチの幅方向全長にわたってＺ字形に折返すことによって第１の折返し部４２を形成し、パウチの他端よりの位置でフイルム１２を逆Ｚ字形に折返すことによって第２の折返し部４２を形成している。
また、パウチ４２の両端部では、周縁シール部３から分離した位置で開孔による弱化部４７を有する蒸気抜きシール部４６をそれぞれ設けることによって自動開口機構４５、４５を形成している。
9 to 11 are views showing other examples of the plastic pouch of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a schematic view for explaining the manufacturing process of the pouch, FIG. 10 is a plan view of the pouch as seen from the back side, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a state where a pouch is heated in a microwave oven.
In this pouch 42, the first folded portion 42 is formed by folding the film 12 constituting the back surface of the pouch into a Z shape over the entire length in the width direction of the pouch at a position from one end portion of the pouch, and from the other end of the pouch. The second folded portion 42 is formed by folding the film 12 in an inverted Z-shape at the position.
In addition, at both ends of the pouch 42, the automatic opening mechanisms 45 and 45 are formed by providing steam release seal portions 46 each having a weakened portion 47 by opening at positions separated from the peripheral seal portion 3.
このパウチ４１を電子レンジ内に平置きして加熱すると、内容物から発生した水蒸気等によってパウチ４１の内圧が上昇し、パウチ４１が膨張する。その際に、折返し部４２、４２内にも水蒸気が侵入し、折返し部４２、４２を起点にしてパウチ４１の両側が立上がり、自動開口機構４５、４５がそれぞれ高い位置に保持される（図１１参照）。自動開口機構４５、４５が開口し、パウチ４１の内圧が低下して調理が完了した後にも、パウチ４１は縮小した状態でほぼその形状を維持する。したがって、このパウチ４１はトレーのように使用することができる。 When the pouch 41 is placed flat in a microwave oven and heated, the internal pressure of the pouch 41 increases due to water vapor generated from the contents, and the pouch 41 expands. At that time, water vapor also enters the folded portions 42, 42, the both sides of the pouch 41 rise from the folded portions 42, 42, and the automatic opening mechanisms 45, 45 are held at high positions (FIG. 11). reference). Even after the automatic opening mechanisms 45 and 45 are opened and the internal pressure of the pouch 41 is reduced and cooking is completed, the pouch 41 maintains its shape in a contracted state. Therefore, this pouch 41 can be used like a tray.
上記の各例では、本発明のプラスチックパウチとしてパウチに自動開口機構を設けた例について説明したが、このような自動開口機構を設けずに、本発明の折返し部を有するプラスチックパウチを構成することも可能である。
本発明で採用する自動開口機構としては特に制限はなく、例えばパウチの周縁シール部をパウチ内方に向けてＵ字形乃至Ｖ字形に突出させ、突出部内にパウチ外部に通じる未シール部を設けたり、この未シール部を打抜いて自動開口機構を構成することもできる。
また、プラスチックパウチの寸法、形状やパウチを構成するフイルムの材質等は、適宜選択できることは言うまでもない。
In each of the above examples, the example in which the automatic opening mechanism is provided in the pouch as the plastic pouch of the present invention has been described, but the plastic pouch having the folded portion of the present invention is configured without providing such an automatic opening mechanism. Is also possible.
The automatic opening mechanism employed in the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, the peripheral seal portion of the pouch projects in a U-shape or V-shape toward the inside of the pouch, and an unsealed portion that communicates with the outside of the pouch is provided in the projection portion. The unsealed portion can be punched to constitute an automatic opening mechanism.
Needless to say, the dimensions and shape of the plastic pouch and the material of the film constituting the pouch can be selected as appropriate.
