Abstract
A device and method for assembling a pouch from a sheet material, including a hollow body with a passage formed therethrough and a slot extending across a width of the hollow body configured to receive a tying piece, wherein a sheet material may be placed through the passage of the hollow body so that a necking portion is formed in the sheet material by wrapping the ends of the tying piece at the slot around the sheeting material and securing the ends of the tying piece together, after which a pouch is formed from the sheet material and the tying device that may be removed from the device.
Description
- The object of the invention is to ease the formation of sheet material such as fabric or thin, flexible plastic into an enclosure formed by bringing the edge portions of the sheet material together, thereby to enclose the sheet material around a space or some content or filler material to be enclosed within the space at or near the center of the sheet material. The edge portions of the sheet material are held together to form a necking portion, for example, by a tying piece such as ribbon around the necking portion. The assembled enclosure takes the form of a pouch.
- One, non-limiting example of such a pouch is in the form of a wedding favor or wedding toss, wherein a sheet material encloses a small quantity of rice or candy, and tied with a decorative ribbon.
- One way of forming such a wedding favor is to place the sheet material flat upon a surface, place the intended contents of the wedding favor into the center of the material, and then drawing the edges upward and toward the center until the edges meet. Once in this position, a ribbon is brought around a mid-section of the sheet material above the level of the enclosed contents and tightened thereby to close the favor.
- However, the above method has several disadvantages. Particularly, it is difficult to perform these steps with only two hands. A person must draw up the edges of the sheet material evenly or else the contents will spill out. Also, once the edges are held together in one hand, the person must continue to hold the edges with this hand while wrapping the ribbon around the necking portion. The person thus does not have a hand free to tie the ends of the ribbon into a knot.
- This problem is solved by the invention presented herein, provided by an inventive device and method.
- In particular, according to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a device for assembling a pouched product, including a hollow body forming a passage therethrough extending in a height direction, the hollow body including a top portion, a bottom portion, and a connecting portion, the top portion including a first rim, the first rim surrounding a first hole extending through the top portion, the bottom portion including an upper section and a lower section, the upper section comprising a second rim, the second rim surrounding a second hole extending through the bottom portion, and the connecting portion connecting the top portion to the upper section of the bottom portion such that the first rim is maintained above the second rim with the first hole maintained in alignment with the second hole, and such that a gap is formed between a lowermost circumferential edge of the first rim and an uppermost circumferential edge of the second rim, the gap forming a slot extending across a width of the hollow body from the connecting portion to opposite edges of the lowermost circumferential edge of the first rim and the uppermost circumferential edge of the second rim, the width occupying most of a cross-sectional area of the passage in a width direction.
- Also in a preferred embodiment, the slot extends in a horizontal direction past a vertical centerline extending through an axial center of the passage formed by the hollow body.

FIG. 5d illustrates the assembled pouch product having been separated from the device. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , the device is provided by ahollow body 10 having a passage extending therethrough extending in a vertical height direction. Thehollow body 10 is formed by three main parts: atop portion 12, abottom portion 14, and a connectingportion 16 that connects thetop portion 12 to thebottom portion 14. - In the non-limiting embodiment shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 a-b, thetop portion 12 is funnel-shaped with a wider portion being at the top at atop rim 12 a. Thetop rim 12 a surrounds a first hole extending through thetop portion 12. - The
bottom portion 14 includes anupper section 18 and alower section 20. Thebottom portion 14 may also be funnel-shaped, with the wider portion being at abottom rim 18 a of thebottom portion 14 for stabilizing thehollow body 10 on a surface. The bottom rim 18 a surrounds a second hole extending through the bottom portion. - The
top portion 12 is connected to thebottom portion 14 by a connectingpiece 16 which is sufficiently rigid to hold thetop portion 12 and thebottom portion 14 separate from each other with the first hole maintained in alignment with the second hole, thereby to form agap 22 extending across a width of thehollow body 10 from the connectingportion 18 to opposite edges of the lowermost circumferential edge of therim 12 a and the uppermost circumferential edge of therim 18 a, the width of the gap extending horizontally past a vertical centerline through the passage formed by thehollow body 10 across most of a cross-sectional area of the passage in a horizontal width direction. - The
gap 22 between thetop portion 12 and thebottom portion 14 forms a slot that is high enough to receive a tying means. The height of the slot would depend on the kind of tying means intended to be used for tying the pouch. In the non-limiting example of an embodiment of the invention for forming a wedding toss, the height of thegap 22 forming the slot would be from about 0.08 inches to about 0.24 inches (or about 2 mm to about 6 mm). - The
gap 22 forming the slot also extends across the width of thehollow body 10 described above so that the tying means may enter an open portion of thegap 22 and travel past a center of the passage extending through thehollow body 10 by a sufficient margin for asheet 40 to travel through the passage between the open end of thegap 22 and the tying means resting against a back of the slot at the location of the connectingportion 16. For example, a suitable width of the slot formed by thegap 22 is such that the slot extends across at least 70% of the cross-sectional area of the passage in a width direction. The slot may extend across a greater percentage of this cross-sectional area, so long as the connectingportion 16 is not rendered so small that it does not have sufficient structural strength to hold thetop portion 12 and thebottom portion 14 in place. - To enhance the structural strength of the connecting
portion 16, the connecting portion may include a reinforcing structure, such as aspine 16 a. It is also preferable, as shown in the Figures, that thetop portion 12, thebottom portion 14, and the connectingportion 16 are formed as a single piece, such as through molding, and formed of a single, uniform material such as ceramic or rigid plastic. - The embodiments described above and illustrated in the Figures are suitable for assembling a party favor, such as a wedding toss, which would easily fit in the hand. In this case the entire height of the
hollow body 10 would be between 3-6 inches (or 70 mm to 155 mm). However, thehollow body 10 as described above and shown in the figures may be larger or smaller without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, larger embodiments of thehollow body 10 are envisaged for forming larger pouches or pouch-like assemblies from larger sheet materials. Thehollow body 10 may be of any size without departing from the spirit of the invention so long as the content to be enclosed within a sheet fits through the passage formed by thehollow body 10 and fits within the area formed by thebottom portion 14 beneath thegap 22. - In accordance with the invention, a non-limiting example of a kit for assembling a pouched product is shown in
FIGS. 3 and 4 , including thehollow body 10 described above, a tyingpiece 30 having first and second ends 30 a, 30 b, and asheet 40. In a particular embodiment of the kit for assembling a wedding toss or party favor, a plurality of tyingpieces 30 are provided, each formed of material having decorative and/or colorful qualities, and a plurality ofsheets 40 are provided formed of a material that festive or decorative. In a particular embodiment, the material of the sheets may be permeable, so that the fragrance of a filler material such as potpourri may be perceptible without having to untie an assembled pouch. - In accordance with the invention, a method for forming the pouch from the
sheet 40 and the tyingpiece 30 includes a first step of providing thehollow body 10 having a slot formed of agap 22 as described above, and inserting a tyingpiece 30 so that the first and second ends 30 a, 30 b of the tyingpiece 30 extend on either side of the connectingportion 16 and a mid-section of the tying piece rests against the connectingportion 16, as shown inFIGS. 3 and 4 . - A
sheet 40 is placed on top of the hollow body as shown inFIG. 5 a, such that acenter portion 42 of thesheet 40 is aligned with theupper rim 12 a. Next, this center of thesheet 40 is pressed though theupper rim 12 a, past thegap 22, and through thelower rim 18 a, as shown inFIG. 5 b. This may be accomplished, for example by depositing content or filler material onto the center of thesheet 40 such that this center falls, by the weight of the filler material, through theupper rim 12 a and thelower rim 18 a. Alternatively, or if the filler material is too lightweight to sufficiently deform thesheet 40 to pass through therims sheet 40 downward and then withdrawn once thesheet 40 has passed through thelower rim 18 a. The filler material may be pressed down by the tool at the same time as thesheet 40, or the filler material may be placed or poured into thesheet 40 through theupper rim 12 a and thelower rim 18 a after the tool has been removed. - With the
sheet 40 maintained in the position shown inFIG. 5 b, the first and second ends 30 a, 30 b of the tyingpiece 30 are drawn together to wrap around a necking portion of thesheet 40 that is formed at the portion of the sheet that is exposed at thegap 22 of the hollow body 10 (seeFIG. 5c ). - The first and second ends 30 a, 30 b of the tying
piece 30 are then secured together, after which thesheet 40 forms a pouch that is removed from the hollow body 10 (FIG. 5d ) by either of pulling upward through thetop rim 12 a or by lifting thehollow body 10 over a top of thesheet 40. - In a particular embodiment this method for preparing wedding tosses, the method may be performed by hand. However, this method may also be performed by automated machinery without departing from the spirit of the invention.
- In the preceding description, for purposes of explanation, numerous details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that these specific details are not required in order to practice the present invention. The invention as described herein may comprise one, several, all, or any of the embodiments provided above in any combination.
- The above-described embodiments of the present invention are intended to be examples only. Alterations, modifications and variations can be effected to the particular embodiments by those of skill in the art without departing from the scope of the invention, which is defined solely by the claims appended hereto.
