Definitions
- the impressing of hinges and applying cold or warm temporary seals is typically accomplished by applying pressure to a die upon a flat or round platen— or a die upon a matching, cooperating die— which in between lies one or more layers of plastic film.
- the process may also be effectively accomplished by the means of pressure embossing between rollers, one or more of which has a die impressing means.
- dies for instance male and female, male and male, two males and two females and so on various effects may be created.
- the hinge or the temporary seal processes of the present invention are fast and highly effective and can easily keep up with the fastest high speed bag machines in the world.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a "cold seal” apparatus illustrating the diagonal placement of cold seal in rapidly passing planar film for causing the "imperfect” joinder of two layers of bag material;
- Fig. 19 is a plan view of the present invention, which shows the process of die cutting preformed plastic tubes sealed at both leading and trailing edges, into independent stacks of common plastic sideweld bags with die cut handles.
- Fig. 20A is a partial plan view showing the application of angular bottom seals used to isolate the holes in the bag bottom created by a pin stacking process.
- side weld bag 200 has a top 202, a front panel 203, a rear panel (not shown), a die cut handle 205, a bottom gusset 204 and its center gusset crease 206, and side welded edges 208 and 210.
- hinge axes 212 and 214 At 45 degree angles in both outer regions of bottom gusset 204 are hinge axes 212 and 214 which respectively terminate approximately at the point where center crease 206 crosses side weld 208 and where center crease 206 crosses side weld 210.
- Severed and sealed portions 122 and 122' have lateral seals 124 and 126 and 124' and 126' respectively at both ends and gussets 116a and 118a and 116a' and 118a' respectively on their sides.
- One step forward in the process two side-by-side severed and sealed portions have been transported by clamping fingers 142 and 144 and 142' and 144' respectively, to an intermediate point under die cutter 130, which die cutter 130 is shown as having die cut the two side-by-side severed and sealed portions into four individual bag stacks 132a and 132b and 132a' and 132b' by knife 131 and has die cut handles holes 133a, 133b, 133a' and 133b' respectively.
- the die cutting operation has the tremendous flexibility of creating virtually any style of bag and is not limited to interconnected, detachable bags.
- detachable bags in addition to detachable bags, it may form bags with flush tops and no handles, bags with die cut handles, bags with sculptured shoulders, bags with a multitude of tab designs, T-shirt style plastic grocery sacks and so on.
- the continued process of the present invention will also eliminate the need or the extra labor required to tear apart interconnected detachable bags at a weakened tear line.
- the process of the present invention may be applied to a tube that has been slit sealed into more than just two smaller tubes, for instance, three, four or even five tubes. In such a case, three, four or five tubes would then be converted into six, eight or ten individual bag stacks.
- Fig. 14 two severed and sealed portions 162 and 162' have been transported to an intermediate point at first die cutting station 164 in which die cut handle holes 166 and 168 and edge portions 170 and 172 have been cut and extracted (handle hole slugs not shown) from severed and sealed portion 162, and; die cut handles 166' and 168' and edge portions 170' and 172' have been cut and extracted (handle hole slugs not shown) from severed and sealed portion 162'. Severed and sealed portions 162 and 162' remain connected via bridges 173 and 173' respectively.
- portions 472 and 472' have lateral seals 474 and 476, and 474' and 476' respectively, at their ends, which lateral seals were made at bottom sealer 470 and extend across the entire width of the portions 472 and 472', and; portions 472 and 472' have gussets 466a and 468a and 466a' and 468a' respectively on their sides.
