Definitions

  • each inflatable chamber 120 is in
  • the inflation and sealing assembly is configured for continuous inflation of the web 100 as it is unraveled from the roll 134.
  • the roll 134 preferably, comprises a plurality of chain of chambers 120 that are arranged in series.
  • the inflation opening 116 of the web 100 is inserted around an inflation assembly, such as an inflation nozzle 140, and is advanced along the material path "E".
  • the web 100 is advanced over the inflation nozzle 140 with the chambers 120 extending transversely with respect to the inflation nozzle 140 and side outlets 146.
  • the diameter 149 of the tip outlet 142 and amount of fluid expelled from the tip outlet 142 are sufficient to expel a pressurized flow sufficient to push and separate the first and second web layers 105,107 from each other to facilitate sliding the web over the inflation nozzle 140.
  • the tip outlet 148 and side outlet 146 are sized relatively to each other such that the fluid is expelled from the tip outlet 148 at a lesser rate than from the side outlet 146.
  • the flow rate from the nozzle outlets is proportional to the area of the nozzle outlet.
  • the inflation nozzle 140 is provided an angle ⁇ with respect to the horizontal plane 152.
  • the inflation nozzle 140 is angled such that it aligns material path "E" of the sealing assembly to approach the nozzle 140 in a downward, slanted angle ⁇ .
  • the angle ⁇ can be horizontal or angled so the path approaches in an upward direction, but angle ⁇ preferably at least about 5° or 10° upwards from the horizontal in an upstream direction, typically to up to about 30°, 45°, or 60° with respect to the horizontal plane 152.
  • the inflation nozzle 140 and its longitudinal axis are typically aligned tangentially to the sealing drum 154.
  • the angled inflation nozzle facilitates for easy loading of the web 100 from the roll 134 onto the inflation nozzle 140 when the inflation and sealing device is located below eye level, such as on a table top.
  • the drive roller 160 is associated or connected with a drive mechanism that rotates the drive roller 160 in direction "D" to move the belt 162 along the drive path "C" and advance the web 100.
  • the drive mechanism is connected to a motor located within the housing 141.
  • the drive mechanism can include gears or the like located behind the housing 141 to transfer the power from the motor to the drive roller 160.
  • the tension roller 156 and pinch roller 158 are free spinning, and rotate in response to belt 162 being moved by the rotation of the drive roller 160. It is appreciated, however, that in other configurations, the tension roller 156 and/or pinch roller 158 can be associated or connected with the drive mechanism to independently rotate or to act as the drive roller 160 to drive the belt 162 along the drive path "C". In other embodiments, multiple cooperating belts can be used against the opposed layers, or rollers can directly guide and operate on the layers past rotating or stationary heaters or other sealing members.
  • the web 100 is continuously advanced through the sealing assembly 103 along the material path "E" and past the sealing drum 166 at a sealing area 174 to form a continuous longitudinal seal 170 along the web by sealing the first and second web layers
  • the sloping downward intake and sloping upward outtake of the web 100 from the sealing assembly 103 provides for the material path "E" to be bent at an angle a between the entry pinch area 176 and the exit pinch area 174 (the entry pinch area 176 and exit pinch area 174 are further described below).
  • the angle a between the entry pinch area 176 and exit pinch area 174 is preferably at least about 40 degrees up to at most about 180 degrees. More preferably, the angle a at least about 70 degrees up to at most about 130 degrees. Most preferably the angle a is about 90 degrees.
  • the door 218 presses the spring plunger 224 into the spring receiving area 228 and the spring 226 pushes the spring plunger 224 and protruded portion 230 against the door 218.
  • the protruded portion 230 is preferably received in a receiving area 232 so that in the closed position, the spring 226 pushes the protruded portion 230 into the receiving area 232 and effectively holding the door 218 in a closed position. It is appreciated that other suitable mechanisms can be used to effectively keep the door 218 in the closed position while also allowing the door 218 opened when the cutter holder 190 is moved along the cutting path "H".
  • inflation nozzle 140 described herein can also be used on other types of film handling devices in and inflating and sealing devices.
  • An example is disclosed U.S. Patent Nos. 8,061,110 and 8,128,770 and Publication No. 2011/0172072.
