Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid packaging bag filled and packaged with a fluid substance such as liquid and jelly-like foods and drinks, seasonings and other various liquid or viscous foods and drinks, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. In particular, the present invention proposes a liquid packaging bag that is easy to open the packaging bag, has a good unsealed state, and can sufficiently prevent the occurrence of liquid dripping and unforeseen leakage of the article to be packaged.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a liquid packaging bag comprising a base film layer and a sealant layer and filling and packaging a liquid or viscous packaged object is, for example, a biaxially stretched ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin as shown in FIG. A laminated film of a base film layer made of a film and a sealant layer made of an unstretched ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin is placed in the center in the width direction so that the sealant layers face each other by an automatic filling bag making machine. After being folded in half at the part position, it is formed by applying a three-way seal.

Then, the removal of the article to be packaged from the liquid packaging bag starts from the tearing of the packaging bag 20 from the I notch 22 provided in the vertical seal portion 21 of the liquid packaging bag 20, thereby In a state where the rip of the bag is advanced to a position past at least the pouring passage 24 that functions as at least a part of the storage space 23 of the packaged item, more preferably, the rip The packaging bag 20 is unsealed in a state where it has been advanced to the crossing position, and then the packaged article storage space 23 is pressed, the dispensing passage 24 is opened widely, and the packaged article is discharged.
In general, the I notch 22 is provided in the vertical seal portion 21, so that the dispensing passage 24 is also formed on the vertical seal portion 21 side.

However, since the conventional liquid packaging bag 20 is soft, the packaging bag 20 may be deformed unintentionally when the packaged product is poured out, and the packaged product may spill out.
Further, the pouring passage 24 is defined by a horizontal seal portion 25 and a vertical seal portion 21, and the front and back film portions forming the pouring passage 24 are constrained in a flat shape by the seal portions 21, 25. Therefore, in the pouring passage 24, there is a tendency that the force to overlap flatly by the restraint between the horizontal seal portion 25 and the vertical seal portion 21 acts to close the tear opening, In the conventional liquid packaging bag 20, the films in the dispensing passage 24 are in close contact with each other and it is difficult to pour out the packaged item. On the other hand, when the storage space 23 is pressed, the packaged item flows out and scatters. There was a problem that hands and clothes would get dirty.

  Furthermore, since the packaged item is poured out from the dispensing passage 24 beyond the vertical seal portion 21, when the packaged item is poured out or when the liquid packaging bag 20 is returned to the upright posture after dispensing. In addition, there is a problem in that the packaged material is transmitted through the vertical seal portion 21 and liquid dripping easily occurs.

  In addition, since the distance between the I notch 22 formed in the vertical seal portion 21 and the dispensing passage 24 is short, it breaks during handling of the liquid packaging bag 20, and the packaged material leaks unexpectedly. There were also times.

  Therefore, the present invention has an object to solve such problems of the prior art, and the object of the present invention is easy opening, good opening state, and packaging The purpose of this invention is to propose a liquid packaging bag that can prevent dripping and splashing during the dispensing of objects.

In the present invention , the laminated film comprising at least a base film layer and a sealant layer is folded in the width direction so that the sealant layers face each other, and the side edges are heat-sealed in the vertical direction, and the upper end A packaging bag formed by heat-sealing the lower end and the lower end in the horizontal direction, and the upper horizontal seal portion is not subjected to vertical heat sealing, and is provided with a space for storing a packaged object on one of the folded side edges. A narrow discharge passage that communicates with the upper side of the upper lateral seal portion, and an arc-shaped or linear tear guide rod only on the lateral seal portion from the upper end side of the upper side seal portion toward the side end side portion of the extraction passage. The clearance between the starting end of the tear guide rod and the upper end of the upper side seal portion is in the range of 0.3 to 1.0 mm, the end of the tear guide rod, and the side edge of the extraction passage The clearer Scan the range of 0.3 to 5.0 mm, which provides a path out infusion by tearing along its tear inducing flaw, liquid packaging bag characterized by comprising by opening an elliptical liquid spout It is.

In the present invention, the side edge portion where the extraction passage is provided and which is not heat-sealed is the end portion in the folded width direction of the three-side seal bag, the central joint seal bag or the back-sealed seal bag. The dispensing passage has a conical shape that gradually tapers toward the upper end of the upper lateral seal portion, and the liquid dispensing outlet of the dispensing passage that is opened by tearing along the tearing guide rod extending in the arc shape In the seal part, it is formed so as to be a tearing outlet of the outlet passage after being curved upward or parallel to the upper edge of the horizontal seal part of the packaging bag, in the width direction of the liquid outlet. Is provided with at least a pair of protrusions located on the start end side of the tear guide rod and spaced apart from the guide rod and projecting to either the front or back of the upper lateral seal portion. That, above A pair of knurled seal portions are provided at a position on the upper end of the side lateral seal portion, with the tear guide rod being separated, between the base film layer and the sealant layer, an SiO ₂ vapor deposition layer, a vinylidene chloride coating layer, an oxidation layer aluminum coating layer, Al deposited layer or SiO ₂ or Al, to provide an intermediate layer made of the sputtering layer such as Al ₂ O _3, the base film layer, an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyolefin, polyester, polyamide, polyimide or It is preferable that it consists of resin films, such as a vinylidene chloride, and that the said sealant layer consists of a polyethylene layer or a polypropylene layer.

According to the liquid packaging bag of the present invention, the pouring passage for the package is provided on the base end side of the laminated film that is not heat-sealed. The laminated film is always opened in a straw shape (elliptical shape) due to the restoring force of the laminated film, and the amount of the packaged item to be poured can be controlled by pressing the storage space, and the dispensing passage is directed toward the dispensing port. Since the width is gradually narrowed, the packaged item is poured out in a certain direction along the dispensing passage, and the packaged item is not scattered at the time of dispensing. In addition, the liquid to be packaged is good, and there is no risk of dripping during pouring.
In addition, a tear guide bag of the liquid packaging bag is provided on the upper lateral seal of the packaging bag, and its start end is formed apart from the spout part, and 0.3 to 0.3 to the start end of the tear guide bag and the upper end of the upper horizontal seal. The 1.0 mm clearance ensures that the package will not break and the packaged material will not accidentally leak during handling of the packaging bag.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of a laminated film constituting the liquid packaging bag according to the present invention. The laminated film 1 includes a base film layer 2 and a sealant layer 3, and an intermediate layer 4 may be provided between the base film layer 2 and the sealant layer 3 as necessary. The laminated film 1 is formed by laminating the base film layer 2, the sealant layer 3, and the intermediate layer 4 by, for example, extrusion lamination or dry lamination.

  The base film layer 2 is preferably composed of a synthetic resin film such as a uniaxial or biaxially stretched ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyolefin, polyester, polyamide, polyimide, or vinylidene chloride. Permeability and high gas barrier properties can be exhibited.

Among them, the biaxially stretched polyethylene terephthalate film layer uses “Emblet PC” (trademark Unitika Co., Ltd.), which is a linearly cut polyester film. It is preferable to use “Emblem NC” (trademark Unitika Ltd.), which is a conductive nylon film, for the following reasons.
That is, according to these, in addition to imparting higher water vapor impermeability, gas barrier properties, etc. compared to the case of using a uniaxially stretched base film layer, linear tear removal by fingers of the tear opening part Can be made smooth and easy, and the tear opening can be made sufficiently smooth without fluffing.

  Moreover, if a polyethylene layer or a polypropylene layer is used as the sealant layer 3, an excellent sealing strength can be exhibited at a relatively low heat sealing temperature.

In addition, the intermediate layer 4 is preferably laminated as appropriate in order to improve the properties required for the packaging bag, such as water vapor impermeability, gas barrier properties, stiffness, etc., SiO ₂ vapor deposition layer, vinylidene chloride coating layer, An aluminum oxide coating layer, an Al vapor deposition layer, or a sputtering layer such as SiO ₂ , Al, or Al ₂ O ₃ is suitable.

In the place shown in FIG. 3, after folding the laminated film 1 having the above structure in the width direction so that the sealant layers 3 face each other, each side portion excluding the base end side that is the folded side end portion is formed. The liquid packaging bag 5 is formed by three-way sealing. As one embodiment of the liquid packaging bag of the present invention formed as described above, a tear guide bag 10 formed in a curved shape only in the upper lateral seal portion 6 is shown in FIG.
The hatched portion in the figure indicates the heat seal portion of the packaging bag.
The liquid packaging bag of the present invention is a folded side that is not subjected to heat sealing, such as a three-sided sealing type packaging bag in FIG. It can be applied to packaging bags having

The upper lateral seal portion 6 has a triangular non-sealed portion at the lower side end on the packaging bag base end side 7 side, and this non-sealed portion serves as a liquid discharge passage 8 to store a packaged object storage space 12. Communicated with.
The liquid dispensing passage 8 is not limited to a triangular shape, and preferably has a shape that gradually becomes narrower toward the liquid dispensing port 11 formed by a method described later. This is because the pouring path 8 tapers toward the liquid pouring port 11 so that the extrusion direction of the packaged article becomes constant, the packaged article does not scatter and the occurrence of dripping is suppressed. It can be done.
The liquid pouring passage 8 can be formed by using a bottle-shaped heat seal blade having a shape in which the base end side 7 side end is recessed in a triangular shape. By the way, as the shape of the heat seal, a solid seal, a three-wire seal, a fabric seal, or the like can be used, and in particular, a solid seal or a three-wire seal is preferably used from the viewpoint of sealing reliability and safety.

And in the liquid packaging bag 5 of the present invention, before or after the formation of the lower lateral seal portion 9, the tear guide rod 10 is formed toward the dispensing passage 8 with the upper end of the upper lateral seal portion 6 as the starting end, With the tear guide rod 10 as a boundary, the upper horizontal seal portion 6 is grasped with both fingers, and the liquid outlet 11 is formed by easily tearing and opening the tear guide rod 10 along the tear guide rod 10 with the fingers. To do. Therefore, the vertical length, that is, the width of the upper lateral seal portion 6 is set to a dimension that can be gripped with fingers, preferably 20 mm or more.
The tear guide rod 10 may be provided in a straight line as shown in FIG. 7 in addition to the curved shape as shown in FIG.

  Thus, the present invention is characterized in that the spout 11 is provided on the base end side 7 side of the packaging bag 5, and no pressure is applied to the base end side 7 side of the packaging bag 5. However, the laminated film 1 is always opened in a straw shape (elliptical shape) due to the force to restore the state before folding, and the pouring passage 8 gradually becomes narrower toward the pouring port. Therefore, the packaged item can be smoothly poured out in a certain direction along the dispensing passage 8 by pressing the storage space 12, and therefore the packaged item is dispensed at the time of liquid dispensing as in the prior art. Will not scatter and soil your fingers and clothing.

  Furthermore, the liquid packaging bag 5 of the present invention does not leak out from the dispensing passage 8 even when the packaged bag 5 is tilted due to the action of the surface tension, and the amount to be dispensed is stored in the storage space 12. It can be adjusted by acupressure control.

  Further, since the packaged object is not poured out beyond the vertical seal portion as in the prior art, but is poured out directly from the spout tip 11a, the occurrence of liquid dripping due to the packaged material traveling through the vertical seal portion. There is no.

  Further, the tear guide bag 10 of the packaging bag 5 is provided only in the upper lateral seal portion 6 of the packaging bag 5 and has a clearance of 0.3 to 1.0 mm between the starting end and the upper end of the upper lateral seal portion 6. Since it is formed away from the exit passage 8, there is no risk that the package bag 5 will break during handling of the packaging bag 5 and the packaged material will leak unexpectedly.

It should be noted that a clearance of 0.3 to 1.0 mm is provided between the starting end 10a of the tear guide rod and the upper end of the upper side seal portion 6 so that the packaging bag 5 is handled during continuous handling such as moving, packing, and transportation. When the bags are separated one by one through the perforation or every several required bags, the guide rod 10 can be prevented from being unexpectedly broken and the packaged material can be prevented from leaking.
When the clearance is smaller than 0.3 mm, the above-mentioned effect cannot be expected. On the other hand, when the clearance is larger than 1.0 mm, the packaging bag 5 cannot be cut off at the tear guide flaw start end 10a and cannot be opened with fingers. .

Further, even in the state of the continuous packaging bag as shown in FIG. 4, since the starting end of the tear guide rod 10 is located in the middle of the upper end of the upper side seal portion 6, the starting end of the tear guide rod 10 during automatic filling and packaging. 10a is caught by a roll etc., and the guide rod 10 is not broken.
Furthermore, it is harder to bend than a conventional guide rod formed in a straight line from the vertical seal portion, and it does not break during movement.

  The tear guide rod 10 is a single rod provided extending in the minus direction of the laminated film in the width direction, a plurality of rods perforated in the width direction, and spaced in the width direction. It can be formed with a suitable number and shape of a plurality of small hole-shaped wrinkles, or melt marks provided continuously or intermittently with a laser beam or the like. The depth, the length in the width direction of the laminated film, and other dimensions are selected according to the thickness of the laminated film, the constituent material of the laminated film, and the like.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the dimension in the width direction of the liquid spout 11 formed by tearing by the tear guide rod 10 is in the range of 0.3 to 50 mm, and this dimension is the type of the package and the viscosity. It decides suitably by etc.
The “substantially width direction” herein refers to a case in which the tear guide ridge formed on the packaging bag in the present invention is formed to be inclined upward. The reason why the spout 11 is limited to 0.3 to 50 mm is that if it is smaller than 0.3 mm, the amount of the pour is too small. This is because a force greater than the tension acts, and the packaged item leaks out from the spout 11 or the amount of pouring cannot be adjusted by controlling the finger pressure.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the clearance between the end 10b of the tear guide rod and the liquid discharge passage 8 is 0.3 to 5.0 mm. This means that when the clearance is smaller than 0.3 mm, the packaging bag 5 moves, packs and transports. If the guide rod 10 is unexpectedly broken by receiving its own drop impact or stacking load during handling, etc., there is a risk of the packaged material leaking out, while the clearance is larger than 5.0 mm In other words, the packaging bag 5 cannot be cut off at the tearing guide end 10b and cannot be opened with fingers.

  In particular, when the tear guide rod 10 is curved as shown in FIG. 3, the spout 11 opened by tearing and opening the tear guide rod 10 is horizontal to the width direction of the liquid packaging bag 5. (FIG. 5 (a)), or because it is provided to curve upward (FIG. 5 (b)) toward the end, the spout 11 is set horizontally or upward with respect to the width direction of the liquid packaging bag 5. When formed in a curved shape, the liquid to be packed is well drawn, and particularly when it is curved upward (FIG. 5 (b)), the spout tip 11a becomes thin (sharp), so it is transferred to another container. The effect that it is hard to spill in the case of changing is expected.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, the protrusion 13 (FIG. 6 (a)) or the knurled seal portion 14 (FIG. 6 (b)) is placed at a position spaced apart from the tear induction fistula starting end 10a. It is preferable to provide them as follows. The protruding portion 13 or the knurled seal portion 14 grips the packaging bag 5 with the tear guide rod 10 as a boundary, grips the upper side seal portion 6 with both fingers, and utilizes the leverage of the tear guide rod from the tear guide rod starting end 10a. In addition to the effect of preventing the fingers from slipping when tearing and tearing, it is possible to detect the tearing guide starting edge 10a with a tactile sense, and even a visually impaired person can easily find the position. There is an effect that can be.

  Therefore, the protrusion 13 or the knurled seal portion 14 needs to be provided in pairs on both sides of the upper side seal portion 6 at a position where it is gripped with both fingers, i.e., near the tear guide start end 10a. A plurality of pairs of protrusions 13 may be formed on both sides of the tear guide rod 10, and the size of each knurled seal portion 14 is at least a size that can be gripped with fingers, for example, 10 mm (the length of the upper side seal portion). (Span direction) × 5 mm (upper lateral seal portion width direction) is sufficient.

The protrusion 13 can have various shapes such as a circle, a triangle, a quadrangle, and a polygon. The method of forming the protrusion 13 includes a pair of the above-described two pairs positioned on the surface of one heat seal blade of the horizontal heat seal roll for forming the upper horizontal seal portion 6 with an interval in the film width direction. The upper side seal portion 6 is formed on the packaging film that has passed between the two heat seal blades by providing a recess having a shape and each of the other heat seal blades corresponding to the recesses. By forming the protrusion 13 at the same time as the formation of.
Similarly, the knurled seal portion 14 can also be formed without adding a special process by forming a knurled rough surface on each surface of the pair of transverse heat seal blades.

  The liquid packaging bag according to the present invention packages soy sauce, sauces, various seasonings, soups, fruit juices, and other liquid or viscous foods, detergents, pharmaceuticals, and the like that may contain other granular materials. It can be used as a packaging bag used for the above.
