The sealing film or the high-frequency sealing device is used to flatten and weld while welding, but the packaging film is a shrink film, and the opening yarn is composed of a crimped yarn. One of the present applicants has previously proposed a method using a hommelt adhesive as a means for adhering the two, as disclosed in JP-A-62-28354. However, as a result of subsequent research and development, the method of bonding the opening yarn to the shrink film using the hot melt adhesive or the like as described in the above-mentioned prior art is based on the step of applying a bonding agent or the like. A separate coating device must be added, and the hot melt adhesive must be cooled after application, which increases operating speed. It turned out to be a bottleneck in. In addition, the above-described adhesive causes the mechanical device to be soiled, and the heating process for heat sealing causes the opened yarn to be separated (peeled) from the film due to the melting of the adhesive and the packaged material to be stained. Due to problems, although it is a satisfactory method in terms of operability, strength and strength o

Known thermoplastic resin films can be used.
これらのフィルムは、 開封糸を接着した後、 上包み包 装機にかけて包装するように運用することが多いが、 そ の場合には、 被包装物である商品を包装した後、 該フィ ルムの合せ目を熱封着させるため、 該フ ィ ルムの少なく と も片面はヒー ト シール性を有するフィ ルムであること が望ましい。 In many cases, these films are used in such a way that they are attached to an opening thread and then wrapped in an overwrapping machine.In such a case, after packaging the goods to be packaged, At least one side of the film must be a heat-sealing film to heat seal the seam Is desirable.
本発明で用いられる開封糸の素材としては、 ポリェチ レン、 ポリプロピレン、 ポリエステル、 ナイロン又はポ リ ビニルアルコールなどの熱可塑性合成繊維或いは鞘芯 型の熱可塑性複合繊維などが用いられ、 糸それ自体とし ては、 少なく とも単繊維の太さ 2〜; L0デニールの前記熱 可塑性繊維を、 20〜 150本収束させた捲縮糸又は無捲縮 糸で構成されたステーブル及び Z又はフイ ラメ ントの単 糸又は合燃糸である。 捲縮糸は前記 20〜 150本収束した 繊維束を左右に高速で多数回撚りを与える所謂捲縮加工 を施したものである。 無捲縮糸は前記 20〜 150本収束さ せた繊維束に捲縮加工を施さないものである。 捲縮糸も 無捲縮糸も前記繊維束を複数束合撚 (30〜 500回 Z m ) した上で本発明に用いられる。  As the material of the opening yarn used in the present invention, a thermoplastic synthetic fiber such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, nylon or polyvinyl alcohol or a sheath-core type thermoplastic composite fiber is used, and the yarn itself is used. Is a stable fiber composed of crimped yarn or non-crimped yarn in which 20 to 150 L0 denier thermoplastic fibers are converged at least from a thickness of 2 to 150 filaments, and a single fiber of Z or filament. Yarn or combustible yarn. The crimped yarn has been subjected to a so-called crimping process of twisting the 20-150 converged fiber bundle to the left and right at high speed many times. The non-crimped yarn is obtained by not crimping the 20 to 150 convergence fiber bundles. Both the crimped yarn and the non-crimped yarn are used in the present invention after a plurality of the fiber bundles are twisted (30 to 500 times Zm).
本発明では、 上記のようにして収束糸に機り又は捲縮 加工を施すことにより、 単なる収束糸に較べ、 見かけの 太さを太くなし、 か、る構成の開封糸を対象として超音 波シール又は高周波シールを施すことによって、 糸を構 成する繊維相互の接触点及び繊維とフィルムとの接触点 をそれぞれ不連続な点状接着状態となしつつ扁平に保持 させるのである。 なお、 前記超音波シール装置又は高周 波シール装置における溶着ホーン又は溶着ローラの加圧 力を調節することにより、 .開封糸の扁平状態を変化させ 得る。 本発明においては、 前記のように包装フィ ルムと して 各種の合成樹脂フ ィ ルムを用いるこ とができ、 また、 開 封糸と しても各種の熱可塑性繊維からなる糸が用いられ るが、 包装フィ ルムと糸との接着の適合性を考慮して、 次のような組合せが好ま しい。 According to the present invention, the converging yarn is subjected to milling or crimping as described above to reduce the apparent thickness as compared with a mere converging yarn, and to target an opened yarn having such a configuration as to achieve an ultrasonic wave. By applying a seal or a high-frequency seal, the points of contact between the fibers constituting the yarn and the points of contact between the fibers and the film are each kept flat while forming a discontinuous point-like adhesive state. The flatness of the unsealing thread can be changed by adjusting the pressing force of the welding horn or the welding roller in the ultrasonic sealing device or the high frequency sealing device. In the present invention, various synthetic resin films can be used as the packaging film as described above, and a yarn made of various thermoplastic fibers is also used as the opening yarn. However, the following combinations are preferred in consideration of the compatibility between the packaging film and the yarn.

Although it can be used, in the present invention, it is necessary to provide at least a welding pressure adjusting mechanism and a sliding mechanism for the welding horn or the welding roller.
本発明が、 特に超音波シール法又は高周波シール法を 採用した理由は、 熱可塑性繊維からなる糸を包装フィ ル ムに接着して、 テープ状にするのに超音波又は高周波に よる糸のフ ィ ルムへの溶着が、 超音波又は高周波の加圧 力の調整及び周波数の増滅により糸の太さと相まって、 接着後のテープ状の開封糸の幅を自由に調整することが できるからである。 The reason why the present invention particularly employs the ultrasonic sealing method or the high-frequency sealing method is that a yarn made of thermoplastic fiber is used as a packaging film. Ultrasonic or high frequency welding of the yarn to the film to adhere to the tape and form a tape, coupled with the thickness of the yarn by adjusting the ultrasonic or high frequency pressing force and increasing the frequency, This is because the width of the tape-shaped opening thread after bonding can be freely adjusted.
本発明により扁平状に接着されたテープ状の開封糸の 幅は、 上記のように糸の太さ及び超音波又は高周波シー ル装置の加圧力、 周波数の調整により所望の幅を得るこ とができるが、 実用上 0 . 1〜 5龍まで可能であり、 従来 の開封テープと同様な幅、 形状、 外観とすることができ O  The width of the tape-shaped opening yarn adhered flat according to the present invention can have a desired width by adjusting the thickness of the yarn and the pressure and frequency of the ultrasonic or high-frequency sealing device as described above.

また、 従来の開封テープは通常着色されたものが用い られるが、 本発明においては印刷を施すことなく、 素材 の糸に所望の着色料を練込み又は染色することにより、 各種の色のテープ状開封糸として接着することが可能で、 収束糸を複数本燃り合せるとき、 色の異なった糸を撚り 合せれば、 赤と白、 青と緑等自由な組合せにより各種の 色が混った模様を有するテープ状開封糸とすることがで ぎる。  In addition, the conventional opening tape is usually a colored tape, but in the present invention, without printing, a desired coloring agent is kneaded or dyed into the material thread to form a tape of various colors. It can be bonded as an opening thread.When multiple converging yarns are burned together, twisting yarns of different colors will mix various colors in any combination such as red and white, blue and green A tape-shaped opening thread with a pattern can be used.
また、 テープ状開封糸を金線、 又は銀線入り とする場 合には、 太い糸の上に金、 又は銀に着色した細い糸を重 ねてフ ィ ルムに接着することにより、 それぞれ所望の幅 の金線、 銀線入りのテープ状開封糸とするこ とができる。 Also, if the tape-like opening thread is to be filled with gold or silver wire In this case, a tape-shaped opening thread containing gold and silver wires of the desired width is obtained by superimposing a thin thread colored gold or silver on a thick thread and bonding it to the film.

発明を実施するための最良の形態  BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
本発明の開封糸をテープ状に包装フイ ルムに接着する 方法及びその装置を実施例により具体的に説明する。  The method and the apparatus for bonding the opening thread of the present invention to the packaging film in the form of a tape will be specifically described with reference to examples.
本発明に用いる開封糸を模式的に図示すると、 第 1図 のとおりで、 開封糸 30は繊維束 31a 、 31b を撚り合せた も.のである。 例えばポリプロピレンを原料に用い、 これ を紡糸ノズルを介して、 30本の繊維束 31a 、 31b の状態 で溶融紡糸し、 太さ 3デニールの単繊維とする。  FIG. 1 schematically shows an opening thread used in the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the opening thread 30 is obtained by twisting fiber bundles 31a and 31b. For example, polypropylene is used as a raw material, and this is melt-spun through a spinning nozzle in a state of 30 fiber bundles 31a and 31b to obtain a 3-denier single fiber.
第 2 A図に示す繊維束 31a 及び 31b を左右にそれぞれ 3ひ 00回の燃りを与えて、 所諝捲縮加工を施す。 このよう にした 2束に対し、 さらに 100回の撚りを与え、 合撚す ると単繊維が 60本合体し、 燃りの掛った糸 30が得られる。 この場合の糸の太さの合計は 180デニールとなる。 ちな みに、 ノズルから紡糸されると同時に捲縮加工を施した 単繊維を収束させてもよいのは勿論である。 また、 前記 素材繊維の形態としては、 連続した長繊維でもよいし、 或いは紡糸した繊維を適当な長さに切断してステーブル フアイバ一としてもよい。  Each of the fiber bundles 31a and 31b shown in FIG. 2A is burned three times to the left and right, respectively, and then crimped. The two bundles thus obtained are further twisted 100 times, and when they are twisted, 60 single fibers are united to obtain a burned yarn 30. In this case, the total thickness of the yarn is 180 denier. Incidentally, it is a matter of course that the single fiber spun from the nozzle and subjected to crimping may be converged. The form of the material fiber may be a continuous long fiber, or a spun fiber cut into an appropriate length to obtain a stable fiber.
第 2 B図は、 単繊維として鞘芯型構造の熱接着性複合 繊維を用いた繊維束 31a 、 E lb を模式的に示したもので、 例えば鞘のポリエチレンに対し、 芯をポリプロピレン又 はポリエステルとしたもの、 鞘をポリ塩化ビニルとなし、 他方の芯をポ リ エステルなどと した場合である。 しかし てこれらの複合繊維からなる糸を、 超音波又は高周波で 溶着したときは、 低融点の鞘部の樹脂同志が溶着して扁 平化し、 一方、 高融点の芯部における樹脂は扁平糸の骨 格となって強度のあるテープ状開封糸とすることができ る o FIG. 2B schematically shows fiber bundles 31a and Elb using a heat-adhesive conjugate fiber having a sheath-core structure as a single fiber.For example, the sheath is polyethylene, and the core is polypropylene or polyester. The sheath is made of polyvinyl chloride, This is the case where the other core is made of polyester or the like. Thus, when the yarns composed of these composite fibers are welded by ultrasonic or high frequency welding, the resin of the low melting point sheath is welded and flattened, while the resin in the high melting point core is flattened. It can be used as a skeletal structure to create a strong tape-shaped opening thread.o

This shows the processing steps for producing a film package by wrapping. In other words, the device for bonding the opening thread of the present invention to a film in the form of a tape is overwrapped and incorporated into an automatic packaging machine. That is the case.

On the other hand, an opening thread 30 for welding to the film surface is unwound from the bobbin 34 at the same speed as the film, and both of them are an ultrasonic screen forming an essential part of the present invention. -It is guided to the control device 10 and united. Incidentally, the opening thread 30 is introduced into the sealing device while maintaining a very loose tension state via a tension control roller 35 shown in the preceding stage of the sealing device. In addition, in order to feed out the opening thread at the same speed as the film, it is linked with the film drive. It is preferable to install a forced supply port in front of the tension control port 35.

前記溶着ホーン 42の下面には、 該ホーンと相対向して 受ローラ 47を設けるもので、 この受ローラ 47は固定のシ ャ フ ト 51に対しネジ 52により該シャ フ トの長手方向に移 動し得るように取り付けられ、 一方、 第 6 C図に示すよ うに前記受ローラ 47の周面には、 2個一対のクランプ部 材 50a , 50b から成る糸ガイダ— 50を組込むようになす。 すなわち、 前記各クランプ部材の上辺部には前記受ロ ー ラ 47の円周面に対応した半円状の弯曲面 50c , 50c を互い に向き合う形で形成し、 これら弯曲面で前記受ローラ 47 を挟み込むようにして糸ガイダ—を取付けるものである。 また、 前記クラ ンプ部材 50a , 50b の各基端側にはそれぞ れ行止りの孔 50d,50d を相対向して穿設し、 かっこの孔 に対し 1個の共通のコィルスプリ ング 55を嵌揷する。 更 にまた、 前記クラ ンプ部材 50a 50b の中央部には、 これ ら一対の部材を互いにセッ 卜するための止めネジ 54を取 付ける もので、 取り付けに当っては、 第 6 C図に示すよ うに、 一方のクラ ンプ部材 50a には、 該ネジが遊嵌する だけの大きめの直径を有する透孔 50e を、 他方のクラン プ部材 50b には、 前記止めネジ 54が螺挿されるネジ孔 50 f をそれぞれ形成させておき、 これら透孔 50e とネジ孔 50 f とを貫通するようにして前記の止めネジ 54を螺着す る。 この場合において該ネジ 54を強く締め付けると、 前 記両クラ ンプ部材は前記コイルスプリ ング 55の弾力に抗 して互いに接近し合い、 該部材の弯曲面を介して受ロ ー ラ 47に堅く把持される。 これに対し、 前記止めネジ 54を 弛めると、 両クラ ンプ部材 50a , 50b は該スプリ ング 55の 弾力によって互いに離反する方向に移動するから、 これ により、 受ローラ 47に対するクラ ンプ部材の位置変え、 ないしはその取外しが容易に行える。 A receiving roller 47 is provided on the lower surface of the welding horn 42 so as to face the horn, and the receiving roller 47 is moved in a longitudinal direction of the shaft by a screw 52 with respect to a fixed shaft 51. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6C, a thread guide 50 made up of a pair of two clamp members 50a and 50b is incorporated into the peripheral surface of the receiving roller 47 as shown in FIG. 6C. That is, semi-circular curved surfaces 50c, 50c corresponding to the circumferential surface of the receiving roller 47 are provided on the upper side of each of the clamp members. The thread guide is attached so as to sandwich the receiving roller 47 between these curved surfaces. Stop holes 50d, 50d are respectively formed on the base end sides of the clamp members 50a, 50b so as to face each other, and one common coil spring 55 is fitted into the bracket hole.揷Further, a set screw 54 for setting the pair of members to each other is attached to the center of the clamp members 50a and 50b, and as shown in FIG. 6C. Thus, one clamp member 50a has a through hole 50e having a diameter large enough to allow the screw to fit loosely, and the other clamp member 50b has a screw hole 50f into which the set screw 54 is inserted. Are formed, and the set screw 54 is screwed through the through hole 50e and the screw hole 50f. In this case, when the screw 54 is strongly tightened, the two clamp members approach each other against the elasticity of the coil spring 55, and are firmly gripped by the receiving roller 47 via the curved surface of the member. You. On the other hand, when the set screw 54 is loosened, the two clamp members 50a and 50b move in the directions away from each other due to the elasticity of the spring 55, thereby changing the position of the clamp member with respect to the receiving roller 47, Or it can be easily removed.
なお、 前記両クラ ンプ部材から成る糸ガイダ一 50には、 第 3図の糸ボビン 34から導かれた糸 30を受ローラ 47の上 面に案内する糸ガイ ドローラ 36が取付けられると共に、 該ローラを経由した糸 30を前記受ロ—ラ面に案内するた めの案内溝 53が刻設されており、 更にこの案内溝を上か ら覆うように、 長孔 57を有するカバ—プレー ト 56が第 6 A図において左右方向に移動し得るように、 蝶ネジ 58を 介して半固定状態で取付けられている。 A thread guide roller 36 for guiding the thread 30 guided from the thread bobbin 34 in FIG. 3 to the upper surface of a receiving roller 47 is attached to the thread guide 50 made up of both clamp members. A guide groove 53 for guiding the yarn 30 passing through the roller to the receiving roller surface is formed, and a cover plate having a long hole 57 so as to cover the guide groove from above. 6A is mounted in a semi-fixed state via a thumbscrew 58 so that it can move in the left-right direction in FIG. 6A.
しかして前記ガイ ドローラ 36を経由して綠りだされて きた糸 30は、 クランプ部材 50a の表面に刻設された案内 溝 53を通って受ローラ 47の上面に至り、 ここで溶着ホー ン 42からの超音波エネルギーと加圧力によりフィ ルム 2b 面に溶着され、 扁平に変形しつつテープ状の開封糸 4と なる。 ちなみに前記カバープレー ト 56は、 糸が案内溝か ら外れるのを防止するための部材で、 糸通しに際しては 蝶ネジ 58を緩めて、 カバープレー ト 56を側方にずらせば よい。  Thus, the yarn 30 fed out through the guide roller 36 reaches the upper surface of the receiving roller 47 through the guide groove 53 formed on the surface of the clamp member 50a, where the welding horn 42 It is welded to the surface of the film 2b by the ultrasonic energy and the pressing force from it, and becomes a tape-shaped opening thread 4 while deforming flat. Incidentally, the cover plate 56 is a member for preventing the thread from coming off the guide groove. When threading, the thumb screw 58 may be loosened and the cover plate 56 may be shifted to the side.
ところで、 超音波シールにより糸の溶着が行われると、 それに伴なつて受ローラ 47の面が僅かずつではあるが磨 耗し、 特に同一個所で溶着を繰返すと口 -ラ表面が損傷 し、 所定の溶着作業を遂行させることができなく なる場 合がある。 本発明においては、 この点に考慮を払い、 前 記クランプ部材からなる糸ガイダ一 50を受ロ—ラの周面 上において該ローラの軸方向に移動させることができる ようにして、 同一個所での溶着が頻繁に行われることを 防ぐようにしたものである。 なお前記糸ガイダ の移動 に対応して溶着ホーン 42をも同方向に移動させることが できることも、 既に述べたとおりである。 ちなみに、 前 記糸ガイダ— 50を軸方向に移動させるに当っては、 まず 前記の止めネジ 54を弛める。 しかるときは前述のように スプリ ング 55の弾力が作用して前記ガイダ—を構成する 両クラ ンプ 50a , 50b が互いに開き方向に動く。 そこで該 クラ ンプの基端側を手でつかむことによりスプリ ング 55 が収縮し、 それに伴って前記両クラ ンプの上辺部がハの 字形に開く (第 6 C図参照) 。 かく して、 前記糸ガイダ —の移動を容易に行う ことができるのである。 By the way, when the yarn is welded by the ultrasonic seal, the surface of the receiving roller 47 is abraded little by little, and especially when the welding is repeated at the same location, the surface of the mouth-roller is damaged, and the May not be able to perform the welding work. In the present invention, taking this point into consideration, the thread guide 50 made of the above-mentioned clamp member can be moved in the axial direction of the roller on the peripheral surface of the receiving roller so that it can be moved at the same location. This is to prevent frequent welding. The welding horn 42 can be moved in the same direction in accordance with the movement of the thread guider. What we can do is already mentioned. In order to move the thread guider 50 in the axial direction, first, the set screw 54 is loosened. At that time, the elasticity of the spring 55 acts as described above, and the two clamps 50a and 50b constituting the guider move in the opening direction. Then, the spring 55 is contracted by grasping the base end side of the clamp by hand, and the upper sides of both clamps are opened in a C-shape accordingly (see FIG. 6C). Thus, the movement of the thread guider can be easily performed.
本発明の超音波シール装置を用いて熱可塑性繊維から 成る無捲縮糸又は捲縮糸を、 帯状フ ィ ルムにテープ状に 接着するための接着条件は、 糸の太さ、 糸の素材である 熱可塑性繊維の種類、 或いは接着速度によつて異なる力 超音波の振幅は、 20〜50 ^ m、 周波数は 15000〜 30000 ヘルツノ秒、 超音波シール装置によっては、 たとえば日 本フユ—チヤ — (株) 製 HW - 40を用いれば、 振幅を 20 m 程度にして周波数 60000 ヘルツ 秒、 加圧力 l〜 3 kg / (^をかけることにより、 糸を溶融、 扁平化してフィ ノレ ム表面にテープ状に溶着させることができる。  The bonding conditions for bonding a non-crimped yarn or a crimped yarn made of a thermoplastic fiber to a belt-like film in a tape shape using the ultrasonic sealing device of the present invention depend on the thickness of the yarn and the material of the yarn. Different forces depending on the type of thermoplastic fiber or the bonding speed The amplitude of the ultrasonic wave is 20 ~ 50 ^ m, the frequency is 15000 ~ 30000 hertz, and depending on the ultrasonic sealing device, for example, Japan Fuchuya ( Using HW-40 manufactured by Co., Ltd., the yarn is melted and flattened by applying an amplitude of about 20 m, a frequency of 60,000 Hz, and a pressing force of l ~ 3 kg / (^), and a tape-like surface is formed on the surface of the finale. Can be welded.
フィ ルムの速度と糸を送り込む速度は同速であること が必要で、 給糸に当ってはフィ ルムの駆動から導いた強 制繰り出しロールを用い、 糸の速度とフ ィ ルムの速度を 同速にすることが好ま しい。  It is necessary that the film speed and the yarn feeding speed be the same speed.For yarn feeding, use a forced feeding roll derived from the drive of the film, and set the yarn speed and film speed to the same speed. Faster is preferred.
また、 糸にテンショ ンがかかりすぎると接着時に切れ るので、 テンシ ョ ンコ ン ト ローラによりテンショ ンをコ ン トロ一ルするもので、 実施に際しては、 例えば 1〜 3 g程度のテンシヨ ンをかけた上で、 たるみのないように 受ローラ 47に対し糸を送り込むことが必要である。 Also, if the yarn is over-tensioned, it will break when glued. Therefore, the tension is controlled by a tension controller.When the tension is applied, for example, a tension of about 1 to 3 g is applied to the receiving roller 47 so that there is no slack. It is necessary to feed the yarn.
接着速度は、 種々変えることができるが、 5〜 100 m Z分程度とする。  The bonding speed can be variously changed, but is set to about 5 to 100 mZ.
第 7〜8図に示す実施例は、 前記の超音波シール装置 10に代えて高周波シ ル装置を用いた場合を示したもの で、 第 5図におけるものと同じ部材については同一符号 を付し、 以下異なる部材について説明を加える。  The embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 shows a case where a high-frequency sealing device is used instead of the ultrasonic sealing device 10, and the same members as those in FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals. The different members will be described below.
同図は第 5 A図の超音波シール装置における溶着ホー ン 42と受ローラ 47との位置関係と同様になつている。 高 周波シール、 超音波シール装置とも溶着ホーン 42を中心 する装置と受ローラ 47とが上下逆に配置されることは差 し支えない。  This figure is similar to the positional relationship between the welding horn 42 and the receiving roller 47 in the ultrasonic sealing device shown in FIG. 5A. In both the high frequency sealing device and the ultrasonic sealing device, the device centering on the welding horn 42 and the receiving roller 47 may be arranged upside down.
第 7図に符号 65で示すローラは、 一方のマイナス電極 を形成する溶着ローラであって、 溶着しょうとする前記 糸 30と帯状フィ ルム 2bとを挟んで、 その下部に他方のプ ラス電極を形成する受口一ラ 66が取付けられている。  A roller denoted by reference numeral 65 in FIG. 7 is a welding roller for forming one negative electrode, and the other positive electrode is disposed below the yarn 30 to be welded and the band-shaped film 2b. A receiving port 66 is formed.
なお、 前記溶着口一ラ 65並びに受ローラ 66のいずれも 拿由 67、 68に対しては、 絶縁体 69を介して装着されると共 に、 受ローラ 66の外周面には多数のフイ ン 66a が突出形 成されている。 因みに、 符号 63並びに 64は通電用のブラ シ又は銅板である。 以上、 本発明に用いられる超音波シール装置及び高周 波シール装置の機構及びそれによる熱可塑性繊維からな る開封糸を包装用フィ ルムにテープ状に接着する方法に ついて説明した。 In addition, both the welding port 65 and the receiving roller 66 are attached to the handles 67 and 68 via the insulator 69, and a large number of 66a is protruding.

The mechanism of the ultrasonic sealing device and the high frequency sealing device used in the present invention and the method for bonding the opening yarn made of thermoplastic fiber to the packaging film in a tape shape have been described above.
こ こで、 本発明の熱可塑性繊維からなる開封糸が超音 波シール装置又は高周波シール装置により扁平なテープ 状になる機構を図面により概略説明する。  Here, the mechanism by which the opening yarn made of the thermoplastic fiber of the present invention is formed into a flat tape shape by the ultrasonic sealing device or the high frequency sealing device will be schematically described with reference to the drawings.
第 9図に示すとおり、 開封糸を超音波シール等でフ ィ ルムに扁平状に接着したときの構造は、 糸を構成する繊 維相互の接触点ィおよび繊維とフィ ルムとの接触点口が 不連続な点状に接着されたまま扁平になっている。 この 扁平化は第 10 A図に示すように接着前の糸 30は、 溶着ホ —ン又は溶着ローラの加圧力を高めることにより第 10 B 図の扁平な状態、 すなわちテープ状にフ ィ ルム 2 bに接 着することができる。  As shown in Fig. 9, the structure when the opened yarn is flatly adhered to the film with an ultrasonic seal or the like is the contact point between the fibers constituting the yarn and the contact point between the fiber and the film. Are flattened together with discontinuous points. As shown in FIG. 10A, this flattening is performed by increasing the pressure of the welding horn or the welding roller by increasing the pressing force of the welding horn or the welding roller. Can be attached to b.
このほ力、、 本発明においては、 フ ィ ルム面にテープ状 の開封糸を一定の幅で接着させる方法をとることが望ま しい。 このためには、 例えば超音波シール装置において 次のような調整機構を備えることが考えられる。  In the present invention, it is desirable to adopt a method of adhering a tape-shaped opening thread to the film surface with a constant width. For this purpose, for example, it is conceivable to provide the following adjustment mechanism in the ultrasonic sealing device.
①フィ ルムの走行速度と超音波の周波数或いは振幅の変 換を連動させ、 フ ィ ルムの走行速度の変化に対応して 超音波のパワーコ ン ト ロールを行い、 糸の溶着、 扁平 化を均一化して、 一定幅のテープ状開封糸とする。 (1) The running speed of the film and the conversion of the frequency or amplitude of the ultrasonic wave are linked, and the power control of the ultrasonic wave is performed in response to the change in the running speed of the film, and the welding and flattening of the yarn are uniform.
