Description

  The present invention relates to a package, and more particularly to a package that can be easily opened.

  In general, many products are packaged in a rectangular bag, and the contents can be taken out by opening one side of the bag. The opened bag is still in the shape of a square, and functions as a packaging material until the contents are exhausted. On the other hand, a tetrahedral packaging material in which the direction of one side is orthogonal to the direction of the opposite side is known as a so-called tetra-shaped packaging material (trade name: Tetra Pak).

  There are many patent applications for packaging materials. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a food packaging bag that can be easily opened by providing a bypass portion that protrudes upward in a perforation for opening and opening the bypass portion to the left and right after opening. Patent Document 2 describes a structure that facilitates opening by interposing an adhesive material between the main body of the packaging bag and the lid.

  On the other hand, as a material for facilitating the opening, for example, Patent Document 3 describes a tubular packaging material provided with a constant-width tearable backing, and Patent Document 4 differs in a tearable film. A packaging material having excellent tearability, which is laminated with a film, is described. However, these packaging materials have the technical problems described below.

  In other words, the above-described conventionally known packaging material has a fixed shape in which a special shape is added to the perforation or an adhesive material is interposed between the main body and the lid of the packaging bag body in order to facilitate opening. This has been secured by a special configuration or structure in which a tearable back portion is provided and a tearable film is sandwiched between different films and laminated. However, such means has a problem in that the configuration and structure are complicated, and costs and labor are required.

The present invention has been made paying attention to the above-mentioned problems, and the first object is to tear a sealing portion necessary for producing a bag body having an open end for storing an object to be packaged. An object of the present invention is to provide a package that can be used as a tableware when it is opened by making it easy to open without using any special means.
In addition, the second object is to provide a wide band in addition to this so that the dish-shaped shape formed when the package is opened is securely held.

The first object is to be packaged in a bag body in which a pair of two opposite sides and one of the other two opposite sides are closed by the first to third sealing portions, and the remaining one side is opened. In the four-dimensional three-dimensional package formed by sealing the opening by providing a fourth sealing portion that is substantially orthogonal to the third sealing portion in a state in which the object is stored, a pair of opposing two The first and second sealing portions provided on the sides are tear guides for tearing the packaging body made of heat-sealed wires, sewing machine wires, etc. , and are formed linearly at both end edges of the bag body. It is easy to open and is achieved by adopting a configuration in which the packaging body can be artificially torn and opened along the first and second sealing portions intersecting with the fourth sealing portion. Is done.
The second purpose is to provide a wide band in the fourth sealing portion, and prevent both ends from falling inward when the tear is artificially torn and opened along the first and second sealing portions. Thus, this is achieved by configuring the plate-shaped shape to function reliably.

According to the configuration of the present invention configured as described above, by using a sealing portion that is necessary when producing a bag body that is open at one end for storing an object to be packaged, as an opening guide for tearing, Opening becomes easy without taking special measures, and a package that can be used as it is when opened is provided.
In addition, since the wide band is provided outside the fourth sealing portion, both ends of the fourth sealing portion are prevented from falling inward when the package is opened from the middle point or the vicinity of the middle point. There exists an effect which can hold | maintain a dish-shaped shape reliably.

The first and second sealing portions can be constituted by heat seal wires.
The package has first and second triangles having the fourth sealing portion as a common base, and third and fourth triangles having the third sealing portion as a common base and adjacent in the circumferential direction. The inclined sides of the triangles are connected to each other and formed into a tetrahedral cubic shape, and the first and second sealing portions can be positioned on the perpendicular lines of the first and second triangles.

  According to the packaging body of the present invention, when forming a bag body having one side opened, the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion provided on the two opposing sides are the tearing opening guide for the packaging body. Therefore, the package can be easily opened without taking any special measures.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments. However, it is not limited to these. FIG. 1 shows a rectangular bag 1. The side AB is open and the other side is sealed. Usually, the contents are put through the opening of AB, and then AB is sealed and used as a package. On the other hand, the present invention does not seal AB as it is, but joins corners A and B so that the direction of side AB and the direction of side CD are substantially orthogonal. Seal in this state. This is widely known as a so-called tetra-shaped packaging material, and a trade name includes Tetra Pak. The side A-C is the first sealing portion 2, the side BD is the second sealing portion 3, and these sealing portions 2, 3 are formed of a broken line, a heat seal line, a sewing machine line, or the like. ing. The side CD is the third sealing portion 4, and a portion sealed at an angle substantially orthogonal to the side CD is a fourth sealing portion 5 described later. Although the present invention will be described centering on a rectangular packaging bag, the shape of the bag is not limited to a square, and may be a trapezoid.

  In FIG. 1, sides A-C and sides B-D are a first sealing portion and a second sealing portion 2, 3 made of a broken line, a heat seal wire, a sewing machine wire, or the like. Corners A and B are the corners on both ends of the upper side. Moreover, the seal line of the 1st sealing part 2 and the 2nd sealing part 3 becomes an opening guide so that it may mention later. Provide easy opening parts such as notches, sewing machine wires, holes, etc. at the joined and sealed parts with the corners A and B, and further provide reinforcement parts around the corners C and D with heat fusion, reinforcing material, etc. May be.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the corners A and B are joined together to seal the opening so that the direction of the side AB and the direction of the side CD are substantially orthogonal. This sealing portion becomes the fourth sealing portion 5. In a state where the corners A and B are sealed together so that the direction of the side AB and the direction of the side CD are substantially orthogonal, H and H ′ (facing sides) that are the center points of the side AB ) Becomes a corner, and the original corner A and the original corner B (facing side) become the center point of the side HH ′. A band 13 may be provided from the side H-H 'toward the lower corner D, and the side G-G', which is the lower part of the band 13, may be sealed.

  In FIG. 2, J is an intermediate point at the lower part of the band 13, and J ′ is an intermediate point at the lower part of the band 13 on the facing side. As a result, the side A-B is substantially orthogonal to the side CD, resulting in a tetrahedral package. That is, a pair of the first triangle (GG′C) and the second triangle (GG′D) are formed with the side GG ′ being the fourth sealing portion 5 as a common base, and the third sealing is performed. Four surfaces formed by forming a pair of third triangles (CDG) and fourth triangles (CDG ′) having the side C-D as the common base 4 as a common base and connecting the oblique sides adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. It becomes a body-shaped package. A perspective view of the tetrahedral package 6 is shown in FIG.

  FIG. 2A is a view as seen from the surface side of the original ABCD, and FIG. 2B is a view as seen from a position rotated 90 degrees from the surface of the original ABCD. Since the package 6 has a tetrahedral structure, it is resistant to external pressure, and if a transparent material is used as the material for forming the bag 1, the contents can be seen well. As a material of the bag body 1, a resin film or a resin sheet can be used. As the resin, polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyester, polyamide, polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl alcohol (trade name Eval, etc.), and the like can be used. Moreover, it can also be set as a double and triple laminate as needed. Furthermore, in order to reduce the transmittance of ultraviolet rays, a resin added with an ultraviolet absorber can be used.

  In the tetrahedral package 6 shown in FIG. 3, the first and second sealing portions 2 and 3 applied to form the bag 1 have the fourth sealing portion 5 as a common base GG ′. A pair of the first triangle (GG′C) and the second triangle (GG′D) are positioned on the general perpendicular line. The first and second sealing portions 2 and 3 serve as an opening guide for the package 6. When the container is opened (torn) along the opening guide, the boat has a boat shape as shown in FIG. In the case of a boat shape, the bottom length is 2h, the height (depth) is t at the bow and stern, and the depth is smaller than t at the center of the boat shape due to the extent of the boat shape spread. It will be of boat shape (dish shape). 1, h is the length of the packaging bag minus the width d of the band 13, as shown in FIG. 1, d is the width of the band 13, and t is half the width of the packaging bag ABDC. . The portion of the belt 13 becomes a boat-shaped ear and contributes to maintaining the shape of the boat, and is convenient for gripping the container. The boat shape generated here holds the contents in the boat shape as they are, and has a function as a kind of container. This boat shape functions as a kind of tableware, for example, a plate.

In the boat shape, the corners C and D of the original bag ABDCD are located at the upper center of the boat shape. If this portion is left as it is, the shape of the boat shape becomes unstable, so it is preferable to reinforce portions around C and D in advance. That is, the reinforcing portions indicated by reference numerals 11 and 12 in FIG. In the case of the present embodiment, triangular reinforcing portions 11 and 12 are provided around the corners C and D. The reinforcing portions 11 and 13 may be fused substantially on the entire surface of the triangle, or as shown in the figure, only the oblique sides 16 and 17 of the triangle may be fused. In addition, a reinforcing material such as a sheet or a film can be attached to the reinforcing portions 11 and 12. In the case of a present Example, a packaging target object is not specifically limited.
Moreover, in FIG. 1, a broken line, a seal line, a sewing machine line, etc. can be formed on the center line KG or KH and KG ′ or KH ′ of the packaging bag, and this can be used as an opening guide. . When the center lines KG and KG ′ of the packaging bag are used as opening guides, a pair of third triangle CGD and fourth triangle having side CD as the third sealing portion 4 as a common base In CGD, a perpendicular line KG is provided on the third triangle CGD, and at the same time, a perpendicular line KG ′ is provided on the fourth triangle CG′D, and a lead line is provided on these perpendicular lines. These lead lines KG and KG ′ serve as an opening guide. The opening guide is composed of a broken line, a seal line, a sewing machine line, and the like. When K becomes an opening and the package is opened from K along the opening guide, it can be similarly expanded into a boat shape.

Now, in the packaging body 6 configured as described above, when the bag body 1 having one side opened is formed, the first sealing portion and the second sealing portions 2 and 3 are provided on two opposite sides of the four sides. Although the sealing portions 2 and 3 are formed into a tetrahedral shape by forming the fourth sealing portion 5, two first and second triangles (GG′C) and (GG′D) As a result, the first sealing portion and the second sealing portions 2 and 3 can be used as tearing opening guides. That is, in the case of the present embodiment, by using the first and second sealing portions 2 and 3 that are necessary when forming the bag body 1, the packaging body 6 can be used without taking any special measures. It can be opened easily. FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in the figure, a V-shaped cut is formed on an extension line of the first and second sealing portions 2 and 3 serving as an opening guide. 14 is provided. This cut 14 is disposed in a band 13 provided outside the fourth sealing portion 4.

  The package of the present invention can easily open the package without taking any special measures by using a sealing portion required when forming the bag, and is troublesome and costly. It can be reduced, further increasing the value as a package, and widely used in industry.
