Description

Packing bag {PACKAGING BAG}

The present invention relates to a packaging bag, in particular made of paper, plastic or a mixture of these materials, having a closureable top and a sound source that generates a single or continuous tone, sound and / or noise when the bag is opened at the top.

Such packaging bags are made in various types of fold forms, such as fold bags with folds on the bottom and / or sides, bags with bottoms in blocks, or bags without folds. For heavy goods or decorative purposes, the packaging bag may be provided with a grip, handle or the like on top.

Packaging bags of this type are known from British patent application 2376223A. As is well known, they are labeled with logos, letters or other designs to be used for the delivery of promotional messages, gift wraps and the like. In particular, in personal marketing, packaging bags are provided with advertisements used to present, for example, any promotional gifts, information materials, etc. to interested persons. As a gift packaging, the packaging bags are replaced with other conventional packaging materials.

Reproducing any sentence, tone, noise, etc. when the bag is opened, for example, improves attention by allowing the recipient to focus on the bag, for example, to enhance the enjoyment of the gift recipient or to increase the success of the sales movement. Let's go. In either case, the packaging bag acts as a container of the article received therein.

However, prior art packaging bags have the disadvantage that they cannot be closed stably. Therefore, there is a risk that the packaging bag is inadvertently opened and the sound source is activated before the desired time. In addition, if the opening is not detected and continues, the energy source is continuously discharged until the energy is completely exhausted, and the sound source becomes obsolete.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a packaging bag having a sound source of stable function which is acted upon when the packaging bag is opened.

The present invention solves this problem by providing a packaging bag having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

A feature of the packaging bag according to the invention is the possibility of closure of the top of the packaging bag using closure means. The use of closure means ensures that the packaging bag is not inadvertently opened and that the sound source is not played before it is actually desired. In addition, the closing means is inadvertently opened at the top to prevent the energy source from being consumed to the point where the sound source becomes unusable in the state that it is not actually used.

The type of tone, sound or noise generated when the bag is opened can be freely selected to suit the exterior design of the bag. When used as a promotional item, the sound source may be designed in such a way as to generate a promotional text or jingle that is commonly used for the company providing the gift when the packaging bag is opened.

A packaging bag designed as a gift wrap of the type of the invention may be constructed, for example, in a way to celebrate in music or recorded form when the packaging bag is opened.

When the appearance is combined with the corresponding sound source, the packaging bag can be used without the contents. For example, using a packaging bag with the label "Lucky Bag", which can be combined with a sound source, generates a happy and loud roaring pig noise as a lucky symbol when the bag is opened. This has the effect of generating happy emotions for the user.

Embodiments of the present invention of packaging bags may provide a stable function packaging bag that will attract a higher level of attention to the user. When the packaging bag of the present invention is used as a promotional article, this means that a high promotional effect on the product or company to be promoted is obtained. Thus, image damage, which occurs as a result of a packaging bag malfunctioning, is effectively prevented.

As the sound source, any conventional sound source that is inexpensively manufactured and easily integrated into a packaging bag can be used. However, according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the sound source comprises a sound chip and a speaker associated with it.

The sound chip, which can be combined with an energy source, becomes an especially inexpensive means of producing noise, tonality or sound through the speakers coupled to the sound chip when the packaging bag is opened. In particular, by mass production, the sound source developed in this way has the advantage of a low production cost, so that the packaging bag according to the invention can be produced at a particularly low cost.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the sound chip may be equipped with a recording unit, such as a microphone, which can record individual messages and reproduce them when the packaging bag is opened.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the speaker is configured in such a way that the speaker is oriented such that sound, tones and noise generated by the sound chip are emitted to outside, ie, the sound waves are oriented in a direction away from the bag. With this configuration of the speaker, the cavities formed by the packaging bag can be used as resonators so that tones, noises, or sounds emitted from the sound source can be particularly well recognized by the user. To hide the fact that this is not a normal type of packaging bag, the front part of the speaker and the entire device can be hidden behind the outer wall or double wall of the packaging bag.

The speaker and / or sound chip may be arranged at any desired location on the packaging bag. However, according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the speaker and / or sound chip is arranged under the packaging bag. In this arrangement, in particular the placement under the insert bottom inserted on the bottom of the packaging bag, which makes the lower region of the packaging bag more rigid, in the packaging bag, which can make the sound source obsolete when or after the packaging bag is filled. Damage to the sound source by the arranged articles is prevented in a particularly stable manner.

The design of the closure means is freely selectable. According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, closure means are formed, for example, by the use of individual magnetic elements, velcro fasteners, adhesives or ribbons and / or snap buttons, allowing the top to be repeatedly opened and closed. Thus, the packaging bag can be used repeatedly.

According to another embodiment of the invention, two carrying handles are arranged on top of the packaging bag. The appearance of the packaging bag is improved by the use of a carrying handle, which can be a decorative strap or the like. It can also facilitate transport, especially in cases where heavy items have to be transported in a packaging bag.

The action of the sound chip can be done in any particular way. For example, it can be done by electronic components, such as the use of mechanical means to cause a contact to act on the sound chip when the top is open, or a relay to act on the sound chip.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the sound chip is coupled to a switching unit disposed above and is configured in such a way that the sound chip acts when the top of the bag is opened. The coupling of the sound chip with the switching unit arranged on top is ensured in a particularly stable manner in which the sound chip only works when the top is opened in action. Thus, malfunctions can be eliminated, such as in the case of using a switch to actuate a sound chip as a function of the position of the side wall relative to the bottom of the packaging bag.

According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the switching unit is integrated in a closing means, in particular in a snap button. The tick button is coupled to the switching unit in such a way that the switching unit acts when the tick button is opened. The snap button is particularly stable, thus avoiding malfunctions to a particular extent. By its appearance, where a metal or plastic housing is desired, the built-in switching unit can be particularly well protected against environmental influences so that functional safety can be improved in a complementary manner.

The increased stability of the bottom of the packaging bag, in particular the possibility of placing the packaging bag in an upright position, is according to another embodiment of the invention by forming the packaging bag bottom in the form of a block bottom. This embodiment of the present invention makes it convenient to present the packaging bag in a special way.

Exemplary embodiments of the invention are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
