- a package bag 10 is a standing pouch which is constituted by: two sheets of body films 11 and 11 having the same planar shape; and a bottom film 16 which is folded in half along a folding line 16 a as a center line. As shown in FIG. 1 , the bottom film 16 is folded in a state where the folding line 16 a is disposed thereinside, and is interposed between lower portions of the pair of body films 11 and 11 . Note that an up-and-down direction on the paper in FIG. 1 is defined as a vertical direction in a state where the package bag 10 stands.
- Side edge sealing portions 11 a and 11 b are formed in both side edge portions of the package bag 10
- a bottom sealing portion 16 b is formed in a lower portion of the package bag 10 by heat-sealing lower edge portions of facing surfaces of the bottom film 16 and each of the body films 11 and 11 .
- a laminated film is used for forming the body film 11 and the bottom film 16 .
- a conventionally used film for example, a film in which a film formed of biaxially-stretched polypropylene, biaxially-stretched polyamide, biaxially-stretched polyester, or the like may be used as a base film, and a polyolefin-based resin such as low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, or polypropylene may be laminated as a sealant layer on the base film, is used.

- a plurality of base films may be laminated.
- a metallic foil such as an aluminum foil, a metal deposition layer, an inorganic deposition layer such as ceramic, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer film or the like may be laminated.
- the dimension of the package bag 10 is not particularly limited. However, it is preferable as a refill container to set the height of the package bag 10 to around 100 to 500 mm, the width (the maximum width between the both side edges) of the package bag 10 to around 70 to 300 mm, and the filled amount of the contents to around 100 to 5,000 cm 3 .
- a spout 12 is provided in an upper corner portion of the package bag 10 .
- the spout 12 has a flow passage 13 which extends diagonally above.
- flow passage forming sealing portions 13 a and 13 b are formed by partially heat-sealing the body films 11 and 11 so as to continuously extend from an upper portion of the side edge sealing portion 11 a .
- the flow passage forming sealing portions 13 a and 13 b define both side portions of the flow passage 13 when the tip end portion of the spout 12 is removed to open the flow passage 13 . That is, the flow passage 13 of the spout 12 is formed by an unsealed portion between one flow passage forming sealing portion 13 a and the other flow passage forming sealing portion 13 b.
- the tip end portion of the flow passage 13 is closed by a close sealing portion 13 c.
- a filling opening 17 is opened between the flow passage forming sealing portion 13 b and the side edge sealing portion 11 b , and the contents are filled into the package bag 10 through the filling opening 17 .
- the filling opening 17 is closed by heat-sealing the body films 11 and 11 at circumferential edges of the filling opening 17 to form an upper sealing portion 18 (refer to FIG. 3A ).
- an opening assisting line 12 a which is made of, for example, a half cut groove which intersects the flow passage 13 and is formed by a laser, a tub (grip) 12 b which is formed in one edge side of the opening assisting line 12 a by a cut-out line (penetration cutting) 12 c, and the like may be provided in the spout 12 .
- a package bag 100 in FIG. 8 if the opening assisting line 12 a is provided so as to intersect a rib 14 (described later), since the rib 14 is also cut at the time of opening, the rib 14 is included in a cut surface. Therefore, it is possible to easily maintain an opening state of the flow passage 13 after opening. Note that in the package bag 100 shown in FIG. 8 , the same constituent elements as those of the package bag 10 shown in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals.
- the width of the uncut portion is set depending on the material of the body film 11 . However, the width of the uncut portion may be set to around 0.5 to 1.5 mm in order to easily tear the uncut portion in hands at the time of opening.
- the package bag 10 is provided with: the groove rib 14 which is formed along the flow passage 13 of the spout 12 by outwardly protruding a portion of the film 11 ; and cured portions 15 a and 15 b which are formed in both sides of the rib 14 by crystallizing at least a portion of resin constituting the film 11 .
- the rib 14 is formed by providing a plurality of linear deformations 14 a, 14 b, 14 c, and 14 d in the film 11 , processing the film 11 in a groove shape along the linear deformations 14 a, 14 b, 14 c, and 14 d, and making creases to the folded portions.
- the rib 14 and the linear deformations 14 a, 14 b, 14 c, and 14 d of the rib 14 are formed by performing pressing processing on the film 11 by concave and convex molds.
- the linear deformations 14 a and 14 b in the inner side are mountain folds
- the linear deformations 14 c and 14 d in the outer side are valley folds.
- the rib When forming the rib, it is preferable to apply pressure to the film without heating (for example, at a normal temperature of around 10 to 40 degree C.). By forming the rib without heating, since the fluidity of the resin constituting the film 11 is low, it is possible to easily form a fine rib 14 . Further, it is possible to form a strong rib 14 which is hardly crushed since the creases of the linear deformations 14 a, 14 b, 14 c, and 14 d are reinforced.
- the number of the linear deformations constituting one rib 14 is four. However, the number of the linear deformations may be two or three. It is preferable to set the width of the rib 14 to around 0.5 to 3 mm. It is preferable to set the height of the rib 14 to around 0.5 to 3 mm.
- the width of the rib 14 means the distance between the linear deformations, among the plurality of linear deformations constituting one rib 14 , which are most separated from each other.
- the distance w 2 between the linear deformations 14 c and 14 d in the outer side corresponds to the width of the rib 14 . It is preferable to set the distance w 1 between the linear deformations 14 a and 14 b in the inner side to be equal to or smaller than the distance w 2 .
- the height h of the rib 14 corresponds to the depth of the groove in the inner surface side of the film 11 . If only two linear deformations constitute one rib 14 (for example, refer to FIG. 2 in Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. H7-2260), the groove-shaped cross section can be formed by providing the liner deformations 14 a and 14 b of the mountain folds as the linear deformation, and bending the film 11 instead of providing the liner deformations 14 c and 14 d of the valley folds.
- the cured portions 15 a and 15 b are formed by locally curing the film 11 .
- the cured portion 15 a is provided between the rib 14 and the flow passage forming sealing portion 13 a
- the cured portion 15 b is provided between the rib 14 and the flow passage forming sealing portion 13 b.
- the cured portions 15 a and 15 b are disposed along the rib 14 , and are planarly formed.
- the rib 14 Since the rib 14 is not cured, the rib 14 is bent more easily than the cured portions 15 a and 15 b. Therefore, when the package bag 10 is opened to spout the contents therefrom at the time of use, due to the weight of the contents, the cured portions 15 a and 15 b are separated from each other with the flow passage forming sealing portions 13 a and 13 b serving as a fulcrum, and the spout 12 is opened as shown in FIG. 3B . That is, the body films 11 and 11 are spread out so as to be bent outward of the package bag 10 in portions where the ribs 14 are formed.
- the film 11 which forms the flow passage 13 includes the cured portions 15 a and 15 b, it is possible to maintain the opening state of the spout 12 even if the flow amount of the passing contents decreases. Further, since the rib 14 is provided at an approximately center of the flow passage 13 , it is possible to increase the cross-sectional area of the opened flow passage 13 .
- an outer edge shape of the flow passage forming sealing portion 13 a in the inlet 2 side protrudes toward a side surface of the inlet 2 by increasing the sealing width of the flow passage forming sealing portion 13 a, it becomes easier to fit the position of the spout 12 to the inlet 2 by abutting the spout 12 on the side surface of the inlet 2 .
- the outer edge shape of the flow passage forming sealing portion 13 a may be recessed so as not to make the flow passage forming sealing portion 13 a abut the inlet 2 .
- the cured portions 15 a and 15 b by performing heating and cooling process on the film 11 to crystallize at least a portion of the resin which constitutes the film 11 .
- a method of locally applying ultraviolet curable resin to the film and curing the resin, or a method of adhering a molded piece to the film may be employed as other methods of forming the cured portion.
- additional material is not required.
- Crystalline polymer resin is known as resin which is capable of being crystallized by the heating and cooling process.
- the crystalline polymer resin has a high orderly molecular arrangement, and generally, has a small side chain of polymer chain. Further, when melt-forming the crystalline polymer resin, if the crystalline polymer resin is rapidly cooled to make it into a glass form, the transparency and the flexibility improve, but the crystallinity decreases. That is, the crystallinity of the crystalline polymer resin of the film 11 before forming the cured portions 15 a and 15 b is low.
- the known specific examples of the crystalline polymer resin include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and isotactic polystyrene.
- resin whose melting point is less than 200 degree C. such as polyethylene (HDPE, MDPE, LDPE, or LLDPE) and polypropylene (CPP or OPP), as the material of the film 11 of the package bag 10 , since it is possible to easily perform the crystallizing process when manufacturing the bag.
- FIG. 4 is an explanation drawing of a step of forming the rib 14 and the cured portions 15 a and 15 b in the film 11 when manufacturing the package bag 10 according to the present embodiment.
- the cured portion forming step may be performed first as shown in FIG. 4 , or the rib forming step may be performed first.

- a heater 21 including a pair of heating molds 21 a and 21 b.
- the film 11 is locally cooled in the position which has been heated by the heater 21 in the D-part by means of a cooler 22 including a pair of cooling molds 22 a and 22 b.
- the heating molds 21 a and 21 b and the cooling molds 22 a and 22 b are molds whose shape corresponds to the shape of the cured portions 15 a and 15 b, and abut both surfaces of the film 11 .
- the cooling molds 22 a and 22 b it is preferable to roughen an abutting surface of the cooling mold 22 a which abuts the outer surface of the film 11 through sandblast processing.
- sandblast processing it is possible to perform roughening processing on outer surfaces of the cured portions 15 a and 15 b of the film 11 by transferring the roughness of the mold to the outer surfaces of the cured portions 15 a and 15 b, and it is thereby possible to obtain an advantage such as preventing slipping.
- the sandblast processing is performed using, for example, a material having particles whose particle diameter is around #10 to 100, and an abutting surface whose surface roughness is around 1 to 100 ⁇ m. Note that the abutting surface of the cooling mold 22 a may be roughened by other roughening processing than the sandblast processing.

- a cutter, a punching machine, or the like is used to respective package bag 10 after separation to form the notch and the like at a desired position.
- the notch and the like may be simultaneously formed when forming the outer shape of the package bag.
- the opening assisting line 12 a is formed by half-cutting the film by, for example, irradiating a laser. If laser irradiation is performed so as to intersect the rib 14 as the package bag 100 in FIG. 8 , the focus of the laser irradiation may be moved along a surface shape of the rib 14 .
- the cured portion 15 a and 15 b in the both sides of the rib 14 is described.
- the cured portion may be provided in only one side of the rib 14 .
- a plurality of ribs 14 may be provided in rows in the one film 11 .
- the positions of the ribs 14 may be shifted on the front and back sides of the bag.

- The package bag disclosed in Patent Document 1 does not require additional materials used for improving the spout efficiency. However, the opening degree of the spout changes depending on the flow amount of the contents which passes through the spout. Therefore, if the residual amount of the contents decreases, the flow amount of the passing contents also decreases, and it thereby becomes difficult to maintain the opening state of the spout. Specially, in the case of a large-sized package bag for business use, compared with a small-sized package bag for home use, a package bag capable of maintaining the opening state of the spout until almost no residual liquid remains is desired from the viewpoint of a reduction of cost associated with loss of the residual liquid or working time.
- Further, if the reinforcement layer is separately provided as is disclosed in
Patent Document 2 or many protruding processed portions are provided as is disclosed in Patent Document 3, since the thickness of the package bag increases, the package bags when the empty bags are boxed becomes bulky. - The present invention was devised in view of the above circumstances, and has as an object the provision of a package bag which can easily maintain an opening state of a spout and which can suppress increase in the thickness of the package bag and reduce the bulkiness of the package bags even when the spout is reinforced, and a manufacturing method thereof.
- In order to achieve the above-described objet, the present invention adopts the following means.
- The present invention provides a manufacturing method of a package bag including: a spout defined by a pair of flow passage forming sealing portions which are formed by sealing two films at both side portions of a flow passage; a groove rib formed so as to protrude outward of the film and extend along the flow passage; and a cured portion formed on at least one side of the rib by crystallizing at least a portion of a resin constituting the film, and the manufacturing method including: a cured portion forming step of forming the cured portion on at least one side of a forming position of the rib by crystallizing at least the portion of the resin constituting the film by heating and cooling the film; and a rib forming step of forming the rib by pressing the film using concave and convex molds.
- The rib may have a width of 0.5 to 3 mm and a height of 0.5 to 3 mm.
- In the rib forming step, the rib may be formed without heating.
- In the cured portion forming step, the film may be cooled by molds, whose shape corresponds to the shape of the cured portion, abutting both surfaces of the film, and a roughening processing may be performed on an outer surface of the cured portion of the film by using a mold having an abutting surface which abuts an outer surface of the film and on which a sandblast processing is performed.
- The manufacturing method may further include a step of providing an opening assisting line which intersects the rib.
- The present invention provides a package bag including: a spout which is defined by a pair of flow passage forming sealing portions which are formed by sealing two films at both side portions of a flow passage; a groove rib which is formed so as to protrude outward of the film and extend along the flow passage; and a cured portion which is formed on at least one side of the rib by crystallizing at least a portion of a resin constituting the film.
- The rib may have a width of 0.5 to 3 mm and a height of 0.5 to 3 mm.
- The package bag may further include an opening assisting line which is provided so as to intersect the rib.
- An outer surface of the cured portion of the film may be roughened.
- The film may be formed in a substantially rectangular shape; among the pair of flow passage forming sealing portions, one flow passage forming sealing portion may be provided on a first side of the film, and the other flow passage forming sealing portion may be provided on a second side of the film adjacent to the first side; and at least one of the ribs may be disposed on an intersection point between a line passing through a position of the flow passage forming sealing portion on the first side which is the closest to a third side opposite to the first side and extending substantially parallel to the third side, and a line passing through a position of the flow passage forming sealing portion on the second side which is the closest to a fourth side opposite to the second side and extending substantially perpendicular to the third side.
- According to the present invention, by providing the cured portion formed on one side or both sides of the groove rib, which is formed so as to protrude outward of the film and extend along the flow passage, by crystallizing at least a portion of resin constituting the film, it is possible to maintain an opening state of the spout. Further, since additional material is not required, it is possible to suppress increase in the thickness of the package bag and to reduce the bulkiness of the package bags.

- As shown in
FIGS. 1 , 2A and 2B, apackage bag 10 according to the present embodiment is a standing pouch which is constituted by: two sheets ofbody films bottom film 16 which is folded in half along afolding line 16 a as a center line. As shown inFIG. 1 , thebottom film 16 is folded in a state where thefolding line 16 a is disposed thereinside, and is interposed between lower portions of the pair ofbody films FIG. 1 is defined as a vertical direction in a state where thepackage bag 10 stands. - Side
edge sealing portions package bag 10, and abottom sealing portion 16 b is formed in a lower portion of thepackage bag 10 by heat-sealing lower edge portions of facing surfaces of thebottom film 16 and each of thebody films - A laminated film is used for forming the
body film 11 and thebottom film 16. As the laminated film, a conventionally used film, for example, a film in which a film formed of biaxially-stretched polypropylene, biaxially-stretched polyamide, biaxially-stretched polyester, or the like may be used as a base film, and a polyolefin-based resin such as low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, or polypropylene may be laminated as a sealant layer on the base film, is used. As a method of manufacturing a laminated film, dry-laminating, extrusion-laminating, co-extruding, or the like may be used. In order to improve the adhesive strength, an adhesive agent, an anchor agent or the like may be disposed between the base film layer and the sealant layer. In this case, in order to improve the strength of the package bag, a plurality of base films may be laminated. Alternatively, in order to improve the barrier properties for gas or ultraviolet rays, a metallic foil such as an aluminum foil, a metal deposition layer, an inorganic deposition layer such as ceramic, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer film or the like may be laminated. - The dimension of the
package bag 10 is not particularly limited. However, it is preferable as a refill container to set the height of thepackage bag 10 to around 100 to 500 mm, the width (the maximum width between the both side edges) of thepackage bag 10 to around 70 to 300 mm, and the filled amount of the contents to around 100 to 5,000 cm3. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , aspout 12 is provided in an upper corner portion of thepackage bag 10. Thespout 12 has aflow passage 13 which extends diagonally above. - In the present embodiment, flow passage forming sealing
portions body films edge sealing portion 11 a. As shown inFIG. 3A , the flow passage forming sealingportions flow passage 13 when the tip end portion of thespout 12 is removed to open theflow passage 13. That is, theflow passage 13 of thespout 12 is formed by an unsealed portion between one flow passage forming sealingportion 13 a and the other flow passage forming sealingportion 13 b. - The tip end portion of the
flow passage 13 is closed by aclose sealing portion 13 c. A fillingopening 17 is opened between the flow passage forming sealingportion 13 b and the sideedge sealing portion 11 b, and the contents are filled into thepackage bag 10 through the fillingopening 17. After filling the contents, the fillingopening 17 is closed by heat-sealing thebody films opening 17 to form an upper sealing portion 18 (refer toFIG. 3A ). - In order to easily open the
spout 12, anopening assisting line 12 a which is made of, for example, a half cut groove which intersects theflow passage 13 and is formed by a laser, a tub (grip) 12 b which is formed in one edge side of theopening assisting line 12 a by a cut-out line (penetration cutting) 12 c, and the like may be provided in thespout 12. - Further, as shown in a
package bag 100 inFIG. 8 , if theopening assisting line 12 a is provided so as to intersect a rib 14 (described later), since therib 14 is also cut at the time of opening, therib 14 is included in a cut surface. Therefore, it is possible to easily maintain an opening state of theflow passage 13 after opening. Note that in thepackage bag 100 shown inFIG. 8 , the same constituent elements as those of thepackage bag 10 shown inFIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals. - In order to prevent the
opening assisting line 12 a from accidentally tearing in an unused state by getting caught by thetub 12 b, it is preferable to provide one or more uncut portions (not shown) in the cut-out line (penetration cutting) 12 c. The width of the uncut portion is set depending on the material of thebody film 11. However, the width of the uncut portion may be set to around 0.5 to 1.5 mm in order to easily tear the uncut portion in hands at the time of opening. - The
package bag 10 according to the present embodiment is provided with: thegroove rib 14 which is formed along theflow passage 13 of thespout 12 by outwardly protruding a portion of thefilm 11; and curedportions rib 14 by crystallizing at least a portion of resin constituting thefilm 11. - As shown in
FIG. 2B , therib 14 is formed by providing a plurality oflinear deformations film 11, processing thefilm 11 in a groove shape along thelinear deformations rib 14 and thelinear deformations rib 14 are formed by performing pressing processing on thefilm 11 by concave and convex molds. When viewing from the outside of the bag, thelinear deformations linear deformations - When forming the rib, it is preferable to apply pressure to the film without heating (for example, at a normal temperature of around 10 to 40 degree C.). By forming the rib without heating, since the fluidity of the resin constituting the
film 11 is low, it is possible to easily form afine rib 14. Further, it is possible to form astrong rib 14 which is hardly crushed since the creases of thelinear deformations - In
FIGS. 2A and 2B , the number of the linear deformations constituting onerib 14 is four. However, the number of the linear deformations may be two or three. It is preferable to set the width of therib 14 to around 0.5 to 3 mm. It is preferable to set the height of therib 14 to around 0.5 to 3 mm. - In the present invention, the width of the
rib 14 means the distance between the linear deformations, among the plurality of linear deformations constituting onerib 14, which are most separated from each other. InFIG. 2B , the distance w2 between thelinear deformations rib 14. It is preferable to set the distance w1 between thelinear deformations - The height h of the
rib 14 corresponds to the depth of the groove in the inner surface side of thefilm 11. If only two linear deformations constitute one rib 14 (for example, refer to FIG. 2 in Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. H7-2260), the groove-shaped cross section can be formed by providing theliner deformations film 11 instead of providing theliner deformations - The cured
portions film 11. The curedportion 15 a is provided between therib 14 and the flow passage forming sealingportion 13 a, and the curedportion 15 b is provided between therib 14 and the flow passage forming sealingportion 13 b. The curedportions rib 14, and are planarly formed. - As a result, as shown in
FIG. 2A , it is possible to make thespout 12 almost flat when the bag is empty. Further, as shown inFIG. 5 , by piling somepackage bags 10 such that the positions of theribs 14 are alternatively and slightly shifted, it is possible to reduce the bulkiness of the piledpackage bags 10. - There may be no gap between the
rib 14 and the curedportions rib 14 is formed by press-molding an uncured portion between the curedportions - Since the
rib 14 is not cured, therib 14 is bent more easily than the curedportions package bag 10 is opened to spout the contents therefrom at the time of use, due to the weight of the contents, the curedportions portions spout 12 is opened as shown inFIG. 3B . That is, thebody films package bag 10 in portions where theribs 14 are formed. - Since the
film 11 which forms theflow passage 13 includes the curedportions spout 12 even if the flow amount of the passing contents decreases. Further, since therib 14 is provided at an approximately center of theflow passage 13, it is possible to increase the cross-sectional area of the openedflow passage 13. - As a result, it is possible to efficiently refill the contents from the
package bag 10 to a container 1 by directing (or inserting) the openedspout 12 to aninlet 2 of the container 1 as shown inFIG. 3A . - As shown in
FIG. 3A , if an outer edge shape of the flow passage forming sealingportion 13 a in theinlet 2 side protrudes toward a side surface of theinlet 2 by increasing the sealing width of the flow passage forming sealingportion 13 a, it becomes easier to fit the position of thespout 12 to theinlet 2 by abutting thespout 12 on the side surface of theinlet 2. Alternatively, as shown inFIG. 8 , the outer edge shape of the flow passage forming sealingportion 13 a may be recessed so as not to make the flow passage forming sealingportion 13 a abut theinlet 2. - In the present embodiment, it is preferable to form the cured
portions film 11 to crystallize at least a portion of the resin which constitutes thefilm 11. Alternatively, a method of locally applying ultraviolet curable resin to the film and curing the resin, or a method of adhering a molded piece to the film, may be employed as other methods of forming the cured portion. However, in the case of the present embodiment, since the material of thefilm 11 itself is cured, additional material is not required. - Crystalline polymer resin is known as resin which is capable of being crystallized by the heating and cooling process. The crystalline polymer resin has a high orderly molecular arrangement, and generally, has a small side chain of polymer chain. Further, when melt-forming the crystalline polymer resin, if the crystalline polymer resin is rapidly cooled to make it into a glass form, the transparency and the flexibility improve, but the crystallinity decreases. That is, the crystallinity of the crystalline polymer resin of the
film 11 before forming the curedportions film 11 is heated to around the melting point (at least over the glass-transition temperature) and then is cooled by spending, for example, one minute or more, it is possible to locally enhance the crystallinity of thefilm 11, and it is thereby possible to form the curedportions - The known specific examples of the crystalline polymer resin include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and isotactic polystyrene. Among them, it is preferable to use resin whose melting point is less than 200 degree C., such as polyethylene (HDPE, MDPE, LDPE, or LLDPE) and polypropylene (CPP or OPP), as the material of the
film 11 of thepackage bag 10, since it is possible to easily perform the crystallizing process when manufacturing the bag. -
FIG. 4 is an explanation drawing of a step of forming therib 14 and the curedportions film 11 when manufacturing thepackage bag 10 according to the present embodiment. - Regarding the order of a cured portion forming step and a rib forming step, the cured portion forming step may be performed first as shown in
FIG. 4 , or the rib forming step may be performed first. - <Cured Portion Forming Step>
- As shown in a D-part in
FIG. 4 , thefilm 11 is locally heated on at least one side of a forming position of therib 14 by means of aheater 21 including a pair ofheating molds rib 14 before forming therib 14, it is preferable to put a marking and the like at an appropriate position on thefilm 11, and form the curedportions - Subsequently, as shown in an E-part in
FIG. 4 , thefilm 11 is locally cooled in the position which has been heated by theheater 21 in the D-part by means of a cooler 22 including a pair of coolingmolds - By performing the heating and cooling process in this manner, it is possible to form the cured
portions film 11. - The
heating molds molds portions film 11. - Among the cooling
molds mold 22 a which abuts the outer surface of thefilm 11 through sandblast processing. As a result, it is possible to perform roughening processing on outer surfaces of the curedportions film 11 by transferring the roughness of the mold to the outer surfaces of the curedportions mold 22 a may be roughened by other roughening processing than the sandblast processing. - <Rib Forming Step>
- As shown in an F-part in
FIG. 4 , pressing processing is performed on thefilm 11 by means of a presser (concave and convex molds) 23 including aconcave mold 23 a and aconvex mold 23 b to form therib 14 shown in a G-part inFIG. 4 . As is described above, it is preferable to use theconcave mold 23 a and theconvex mold 23 b without heating. Note that it is acceptable that the thickness of thefilm 11 in the portion where therib 14 is formed after the pressing processing is thinner than the thickness of thefilm 11 in the other portions. When the thickness of thefilm 11 in the portion where therib 14 is formed is thin, therib 14 can be easily bent. - <Bag Manufacturing Step>
- The
film 11, in which the curedportions rib 14 have been formed at predetermined positions within an area where thespout 12 is to be formed, is delivered alongrollers films 11 are piled as shown in an H-part inFIG. 4 . Further, thebottom film 16 folded in half is supplied between thebody films - For example, the
package bag 10 is manufactured by forming sealing portions such as the sideedge sealing portions portions bottom sealing portion 16 b, and cutting it along the outer shape of the bag. - If a notch and the like are formed in the edge of the
package bag 10, a cutter, a punching machine, or the like is used torespective package bag 10 after separation to form the notch and the like at a desired position. The notch and the like may be simultaneously formed when forming the outer shape of the package bag. - <Opening Assisting Line Forming Step>
- The
opening assisting line 12 a is formed by half-cutting the film by, for example, irradiating a laser. If laser irradiation is performed so as to intersect therib 14 as thepackage bag 100 inFIG. 8 , the focus of the laser irradiation may be moved along a surface shape of therib 14. - While the present invention have been explained based on a preferred embodiment, the invention is not to be considered as being limited by the foregoing embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
- In
FIG. 1 , an example of providing the curedportions rib 14 is described. However, the cured portion may be provided in only one side of therib 14. In this case, it is preferable to provide the curedportion 15 a at a position where the curedportion 15 a is positioned under therib 14 at the time of spouting as shown inFIG. 3A . Further, as shown inFIG. 6 , a plurality ofribs 14 may be provided in rows in the onefilm 11. - Further, as shown in
FIG. 7 , the positions of theribs 14 may be shifted on the front and back sides of the bag. By shifting the positions of theribs 14 on the front and back sides of the bag, when piling somepackage bags 10, it is possible to reduce the bulkiness of the piledpackage bags 10 without alternatively shifting the positions of thepackage bags 10 as shown inFIG. 5 - The
flow passage 13 inFIG. 1 is curved toward the outside in the width direction of the package bag 10 (that is, toward the left inFIG. 1 ) such that the angle of theflow passage 13 with respect to the width direction of thepackage bag 10 closes to 0°, and therib 14 is formed in an arc shape along theflow passage 13. However, the shape of the spout and the direction of the flow passage are not particularly limited and can be appropriately set in the viewpoint of easier spouting and manufacturing. For example, the flow passage of the spout may be straight. Alternatively, the tip end portion of the spout may protrude from one side of the package bag. - The
bottom film 16 is not essential, and the present invention can be applied to a package bag constituted by a planar bag such as a three-side sealed bag or a four-side sealed bag. - Further, as shown in a
package bag 200 inFIG. 9 , therib 14 may be disposed at a predetermined position. Note that in thepackage bag 200 shown inFIG. 9 , the same constituent elements as those of thepackage bag 10 shown inFIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals. - The
body films portions portion 13 b is provided on a side of an upper side (a first side) 11 c of thefilm 11, and the other flow passage forming sealingportion 13 a is provided on a side of a lateral side (a second side) 11 d adjacent to theupper side 11 c of thefilm 11. At least onerib 14 is disposed on an intersection point X between a line L1 and a line L2, the line L1 passing through aposition 13 d of the flow passage forming sealingportion 13 b which is the closest to a lower side (a third side) 11 e opposite to theupper side 11 c and extending substantially parallel to thelower side 11 e, the line L2 passing through aposition 13 e of the flow passage forming sealingportion 13 a which is the closest to the other lateral side (a fourth side) 11 f opposite to thelateral side 11 d and extending substantially perpendicular to thelower side 11 e. - The
spout 12 tends to occlude at a portion of the intersection point X between the line L1 and the line L2 when spouting the contents. In thepackage bag 200 shown inFIG. 9 , since therib 14 is disposed on the intersection point X, it is possible to prevent the occlusion of thespout 12, and to rapidly discharge the contents. - The present invention is suitably applied to a package bag in which fluid contents such as a liquid, powders, grains, or mixtures thereof, are filled.
