- a gap is formed between the sheets (particularly, between the peripheral portion of the valve seat fixing portion 71 of the valve seat 51 and the flow path constituting sheet 21).
- the fluid inside the bag body 2 is introduced into the valve flow path 13 through this gap, and the space between the valve seat 51 and the downstream area of the flow path constituting sheet 21 is opened, and the fluid is smoothly discharged from the outlet 12. To leak.
- the deforming portion 81 causes the sheet to protrude rearward around the inflow port 11. It is appropriate to improve the introduction of the fluid during the forward flow around the inlet 11 on the upstream side of the valve seat fixing portion 71, and to the valve flow path 13 on the downstream side of the upstream inlet 11. This is because if the flow path constituting sheet 21 and the valve seat 51 constituting the above are excessively deformed, the backflow preventing function for preventing backflow may be reduced. Of course, the check valve 1 is required to be miniaturized, and the size of the inflow port 11 often occupies a small area. Therefore, the deformed portion 81 is a region downstream of the valve seat fixing portion 71. It may extend to.
- the deformation of the deformation portion 81 may extend to the entire check valve 1 such as a region downstream of the valve seat fixing portion 71. However, it is not appropriate to add local deformation to the valve flow path 13 so as to impair the required backflow prevention function. However, if the deformation does not impair the check valve machine, the deformation is added. It may be a thing.

Abstract
Description
従来から、衣類や食品などの物品を収納する空間を備えた物品収納部を気密状態に密封できる密封袋が存在する。この密封袋には、物品収納部に存在する空気などの各種の気体を袋外部に排出し、その状態を保持するために、物品収納部と袋外部とを通気可能に連結する逆止弁が用いられる。また、コーヒー豆などの穀物を収納する袋にあっては、収納した穀物から発生する気体を袋外部に排出するために、逆止弁が用いられている。
本願発明者は、逆止弁に関する多くの発明を行なっているが、その一つの従来例として、特許文献1に記載された逆止弁がある。この逆止弁は、柔軟な樹脂製の外装シートと、複数の弁シートとを備えており、弁シートは、上流側弁シートと下流側弁シートの少なくとも2枚が1組とされ、共に一方側外装シートに対して接着されている。上記上流側弁シートは、上記一方側外装シートに対する接着が上流側でなされ、下流側は上記外装シートに対する可動部分とされている。また、上記下流側弁シートは、上記の接着が下流側でなされ、上流側は上記外装シートに対する可動部分とされている。この可動部分(即ち、上記の上流側弁シート下流側と、上記下流側弁シートの上流側)は、他方側外装シートに対して密着・離反可能とされている。上記1組を構成する各弁シートは、一方側外装シートに接着されており、この一方側外装シートは全面において通気性を有する不織布から構成されている。そして、この逆止弁は、不織布を備えた部分を逆止弁への順流時の流入口として密封袋の内部に配位し、逆止弁からの流出口を密封袋の外部に配位して、用いられる。
これらの特許文献に開示された逆止弁は、上記のように、いずれも密封袋の内外に渡って逆止弁を取り付けられる。特に、上記の弁シートの可動部分が、実質的に密封袋の外部に位置するように、上記逆止弁は密封袋に取り付けられる。
前記シート製の逆止弁は、少なくもと弁シートと、前記弁シートの前方に配置された流路構成シート、前記弁シートの後方に配置された基礎シートとを備える。
前記流路構成シートは、前記弁シート固定部より上側の上流部分と、前記弁シート固定部より下側の下流部分とを備える。前記弁シートは、その厚み方向への動きによって、前記流路構成シートの前記下流部分と接触離反することで、弁の開閉がなされるものであり、前記逆止弁により、前記開口部を通じてなされる前記袋体の内外の流体の流れが制御される。
前記変形部は、少なくともその一部が、前記貼り付けシールの前面よりも後方に凹んでいるものとすることができる。
また、前記変形部は、前記フィルターシートよりも前方に配置された変形保持部材によって、少なくとも前記フィルターシートが後方に凹むことによって形成されたものとすることができる。
前記開口部は逆止弁の前側の適宜位置に配置することができる。その際、前記開口部は、前記変形部の前方に位置する上部開口部を含むものとすることによって、その製造に際して、基板の上に設けられた突出部によって、前記変形部が形成され易いものとなる点で有利である。なお、開口部の数は1つであってもよく、2つ以上であってもよい。従って、前記上部開口部のみで実施することもできるし、上記流出口の前方に位置する下部開口部のみで実施することもできるし、両方の開口部を設けることもできる。また、上下方向に連続する開口部であってもよい。
同逆止弁構造を備えた袋体の製造方法を提供することができたものである。
この実施の形態に係る袋体の逆止弁構造は、図1に示す逆止弁1を、図2に示す袋体2の袋シート3に取り付けた構造である。逆止弁1は、袋シート3に取り付ける際に変形部81が形成されるものであり、図1では変形部81が形成される前の状態の逆止弁1を図示しており、図2では変形部81が形成された後の逆止弁1を備えた袋体1を図示している。
袋体2は、柔軟性と気密性を有する袋シート3をその全部又は一部に含み、溶着や接着剤の接着などによって、袋状に形成したものである。袋体2の内部にはコーヒー豆等の被収納物が収納される。焙煎後のコーヒー豆からは気体が放散されるため、コーヒー豆を密封袋に収納した場合、発生した気体を密封袋の外に排出する手段として、逆止弁が用いられる場合がある。この実施の形態は、このコーヒー袋用のシート製の逆止弁1の構造として最適なものを提案する。この逆止弁1は、袋体2の内側、より詳しくは、袋シート3に設けられた開口部4に位置合わせして、袋シート3の内面側に取り付けられている。具体的には、逆止弁1の前面側(図2(B)における矢印fの右側の面)が袋シート3の裏面(袋体2の内側となる面)に、貼り付けシール75にて、融着や接着剤による接着などによって固定される。
ここで、図1及び図2を参照しながら、各シートの概要を説明する。この逆止弁1は、流路構成シート21、基礎シート31、フィルターシート41と、弁シート51とを備える。さらにこの例では、弁シート51の下方に補助シート61が配置されているが、補助シート61を用いずに実施することもできる。これら4枚のシート(補助シート61を含めて5枚)の横幅(図1(A)の左右幅)は、互いに等しく設定されている。説明の都合上、各断面図では各シートの厚みと間隔を実際よりも大きく描いているが、実際には各シートは接触した状態で重ねられており、合成樹脂フィルムなどの薄いフィルムの単体又は積層体や、不織布によって構成されている。
フィルターシート41は、不織布や織布などの通気性のある(厚み方向に目的とする流体を通過させることができる)シートから構成されている。このフィルターシート41は、被収納物であるコーヒー豆の破片や微細な粉が逆止弁1内に入ることを防止するためものであり、微粉末が発生しない被収納物の場合には、省略して実施することができる。
次に、これらのシートの位置関係と接着状態を説明するが、図1及び図2では、背面側を後側、正面側を前側として説明する。
まず最も後側、即ち背面側(図1(B)及び図2(B)の左側)に、基礎シート31が配置され、その前にフィルターシート41が配置される。
フィルターシート41の正面側に、弁シート51と必要に応じて補助シート61とが配置され、さらにその正面側に流路構成シート21が配置され、これらによって、逆止弁1が構成されている。この逆止弁1の正面側に袋シート3が配置された状態で、貼り付けシール75によって逆止弁1の全周が袋シート3にシールされて取り付けられる。
この接合は、ヒートシールや超音波シールなどの溶着が好ましいが、接着剤によって行ってもよい(以下、このシールのみならず他のシールにおいても同様)。このサイドシール74は、貼り付けシール75と兼ねることもできる。詳しくは、袋体2に取り付ける前にはサイドシール74を施さない状態としておき、袋シート3に取り付ける時に、貼り付けシール75を施すことで、貼り付けシール75とサイドシール74とを兼ねることもできる。また、サイドシール74を貼り付けシール75と別個に設ける場合でも、サイドシール74を貼り付けシール75よりも細いものにし、サイドシール74を含む位置に貼り付けシール75重ねてシールすることもできる。また、サイドシール74として2本の細いシールを施し、これら2本の細いサイドシールの間をシールのない無シール部分とし、無シール部分に貼り付けシール75を施すようにしてもよい。なお、図1ではサイドシール74を逆止弁1に形成したものとし、それと同位置に重ねて貼り付けシール75を形成した状態で図示している。
この逆止弁1にあっては、流路構成シート21と、これに対向する弁シート51との間が、弁流路13となるものである。弁流路13は、常時は流路構成シート21と弁シート51とが重なっているが、袋体2内の圧力が高まるなどして、流体が流入口11から流入すると、その流体が弁シート51を背面側に動かし、弁流路13が開き流体が流出する。逆方向に流体が流れようとしても、弁シート固定部71によって弁シート51の上部が固定されているため、流入口11及び基礎シート31との間に比して、弁シート51と流路構成シート21との間が負圧となる。その結果、弁シート51が流路構成シート21に密着して、弁流路13が閉じる。したがって流路構成シート21の長さは、上記の弁機能が果たされることを条件に設定されるもので、その下端は、弁シート固定部71よりも下方であって、弁シート51との密着性が確保できる位置に設定される。図の例では、流路構成シート21の下端は、弁シート51の下端よりも下方に設定されているが、同じ位置でもよく、弁シート51よりも上方でもよい。そして、この流路構成シート21の下端は開放されており、この開放箇所が流出口12となるが、この例では、上述のように、逆止弁1の外周が袋シート3に対して貼り付けシール75によって接着されるため、流路構成シート21の下端と、下方の貼り付けシール75(補助シート61の位置にある貼り付けシール75)との間が流出口12となる。なお、流路構成シート21を逆止弁1の下端まで延ばして逆止弁1の全面を覆うものとすることもできる。この場合には、流路構成シート21にスリットや開口穴を設けることによって流出口12を形成すればよい。
以上の構造の逆止弁1は全周を袋シート3にシールして用いるため、袋体2の内圧が高くなると、図2(C)の矢印のように、逆止弁1を構成する全シートの全体に圧力が厚み方向に加わる。そのため、流路構成シート21と弁シート51とが密着してしまい、流入口11から流入した流体が弁シート51を動かして弁を開くという、開弁動作が円滑に行われない場合があり、順流における流体の流出性能が低下する。さらに内圧が極めて高くなった場合には、逆止弁1を構成するシートが袋体2の外側方向(前方)に突出するように、反り返ってしまうように変形してしまうこともある。設計者は、逆止弁1を構成するシートが略平面状に重なっていることを通常の使用状態として設計しているが、上記のように反り返ってしまうと、順流における流体の流出性能が低下するなどの弊害の発生が顕著になる。
特許文献4の逆止弁では、押し型によって流体導入凹部を形成するため、その凹みの程度はシートの厚みよりも大きくすることは困難であったが、この変形部81は、弁シート固定部71よりも上流部分を含む領域において、シート自体を全体的に後方に突出させるため、突出の程度(言い換えれば、変形部81におけるシートの前面を凹ませる程度)を、比較的自由に設定することができる。
凹み深さが少なすぎると変形させた効果が発揮されないおそれがあり、凹み深さが大きすぎると、逆止弁の機能に悪影響を及ぼすおそれがあるが、このような問題が生じない場合には、上記の数値範囲を超えるものであってもよい。
この変形部81は、逆止弁1を袋シート3に貼り付ける際に形成する方法と、逆止弁1の製造過程において袋シート3とは別個に形成する方法との、2つの方法を採ることができる。
図3の例では、逆止弁1を袋シート3に貼り付ける固定工程の際に、変形部81を形成する方法を示したものであり、第1工程から第3工程までの各ステップが順次実行される。
この固定工程においては、まず、図3(A)に示すように、袋体2の製造方法の常法に従って、袋シート3が、基板91に配置される。この袋シート3は、1つの袋体2用に別々に分離した状態で基板91上に配置されることもできるが、連続的な生産を行う場合には、複数個の袋体2を製造するための袋シート3がウエブ状に連続して供給される。この袋シート3は、常法に従ってロール状に巻かれた状態となっており、これを順次繰り出していき、必要な折り曲げや貼り合わせが行われる。なお、図では、袋シート3は1枚のみが描かれているが、2枚のシートを貼り合わせて袋体2を製造する場合には、2つのウエブが供給され、逆止弁1の貼り合わせ後に重ねられて、袋体2が完成する。もちろん、1枚の袋シート3を折り曲げて貼り合わせることにより袋体2を完成させることも可能であり、この場合には1つのウエブのみが供給される。その他、袋体2の形状に応じて袋シート3の使用枚数は貼り合わせ箇所などは種々変更され得るが、逆止弁1が貼り付けられる対象となる袋シート3が基板91上に供給され、自動送り装置(図示せず)によって間歇的にウエブの長手方向に送られる。
この基板91には、変形部81を形成するための突出部92が形成されている。この突出部92は、基板91と同様の硬質な変形しない素材によって構成することができるが、比較的軟質で大きな力が加わると変形するゴムなどの弾性を有する素材によって構成することもできる。
次に、図3(B)に示すように、袋シート3には、突出部92に到達する以前に、逆止弁1を取り付ける予定位置に、開口部4が刃物や金型によって形成される。この開口部4の加工は、ロール状に巻かれる前後何れの段階でも行うことができ、同じ基板91上で突出部92の手前で開口部4の加工を行うようにしてもよい。開口部4と突出部92とが所定の位置関係となっている逆止弁1を取り付ける予定位置にて、袋シート3のウエブの送りは一度停止する。この停止中又は停止の前に、逆止弁1が袋シート3の上方位置に供給される。この逆止弁1も、複数個が連続したウエブ状にしたものであることが連続生産には有利であり、供給前に又は供給中に、さらに場合によっては供給後に、刃物などによって1個ずつの逆止弁1に切り離される。
なお図では、検知用マーク32と調整剤層22とを図3(B)にのみ図示したが、他の図でも同じく検知用マーク32と調整剤層22とが形成され得る。
最後に、図3(C)に示すように、逆止弁1の上方から、先端面が加熱された金型93が降下して、貼り付けシール75を施す。この貼り付けシール75は、従来の逆止弁の取り付け方法を実施する際に用いられるヒートシール用の一般的なもので足り、常法に従い、逆止弁1を基板91に押しつけると共に、その加熱された先端面によって、袋シート3及び逆止弁1を構成する各シートを融着する。その時、逆止弁における変形部81の形成予定位置(具体的には開口部4を中心とする位置)に、突出部92が位置合わせされているため、突出部92によって押し上げられるようにして、各シートが変形した状態で貼り付けシール75が形成される。この変形は、直接熱加工が変形部81の箇所に加えられたものではなく、その周囲の貼り付けシール75の位置でヒートシールされているに止まるため、変形部81における各シート(特に流路構成シート21及び袋シート3)はその柔軟性を維持しており、また、フィルターシート41に目詰まりが生じることもない。なお、突出部92の高さや大きさによって、開口部4以外の部分(具体的には弁シート固定部71)よりも下流側も緩やかな傾斜が生じる場合があるが、逆止弁の機能を損なわないものであれば、差し支えはない。
逆止弁1の流出口12と、袋シート3の開口部4の位置関係は、流出口12からの流体が開口部4から外部に流出できるものであれば、特に限定されるものではないが、この実施の形態では、開口部4は、弁シート固定部71よりも下流側に設けられている。特に、この例では、開口部4は、逆止弁の幅方向に伸びる横切り目5の中央から、逆止弁の長さ方向に伸びる縦切り目6を設けた略T字状をなしているが、横切り目5は、流路構成シート21の下流端及び弁シート51の下流端よりも下流側の位置に設けられ、縦切り目6は、横切り目5から上流側に伸びて流路構成シート21の下流端及び弁シート51の下流端よりも上流側にまで達している。この開口部4は、順流時に弁流路13を流体が通過する際、流路構成シート21と弁シート51との間の間隔が広がり易くするため、T字状に形成されている。即ち、間隔が広がる際に、袋シート3における縦切り目6の両側の部分が左右に分かれて拡げられるものであり、これによって弁流路13を流体が通過し易くすると共に拡がった開口部4からの流体が外部に排出され易くなる。勿論、この開口部4の形状はこれに限定されるものではなく、開口部4となるスリットの形状は適宜変更でき、また、開口部4として面積を有する切り抜き穴を採用することもできる。さらにまた、開口部4をドット状の小孔を多数形成したものであってもよく、流体が通過する種々の形状として実施することができる。
次に、図4を参照しつつ、本発明の第2の実施の形態について説明する。先の実施の形態は、基板91に突出部92を設けることによって、変形部81を形成したものであるが、この実施の形態では、逆止弁1に変形保持部材82を設けることによって、変形部81を形成するものである。なお、この第2の実施の形態は、逆止弁1や袋シート3の構成は先の実施の形態と実質的に同じであるため、相違する部分のみを説明し、他の部分については同じ符号を付してその説明を省略する。
この逆止弁1は、先の実施の形態で説明した工程と同じ工程によって製造されるものであり、製造工程を示す図は図3を援用する。具体的には、基板91上に袋シート3が配置され、その上に逆止弁1が配置された状態で、金型93が閉じられることで貼り付けシール75が施される。その際、変形保持部材82の存在によって、流入口11の位置でフィルターシート41が凹んだ状態となる。その結果、袋体2内の圧力が高まっても、フィルターシート41に対して弁シート固定部71によって上端が固定された弁シート51と流路構成シート21との間が拡がりやすい状態を維持することができ、先の実施の形態と同様に、順流時の流体の流れを改善することができる。
なお、図示は省略するが、袋シート3の前面側に変形保持部材82を配置することによって、同様な作用が発揮され得る。
次に、図5を参照しつつ、本発明の第3の実施の形態について説明する。先の2つの実施の形態は、開口部4を流出口12の前方に設けたが、この実施の形態では、変形部81の前方にも開口部(以下、上部開口部7という)を設けたものである。なお、この第3の実施の形態は、袋シート3の構成に第1の実施の形態に変更を加えたものであるため、相違する部分のみを説明し、他の部分については同じ符号を付してその説明を省略する。
本発明は、上述の各実施の形態に限定して理解されるべきではない。
例えば、第1の実施の形態に係る突出部92による変形部81の形成と、第2の実施の形態に係る変形保持部材82による変形部81との両方の形態に係る変形部81とを併用することもできる。
また、先の実施の形態では、袋体2の内側に逆止弁1を配置したが、袋体2の外側に逆止弁1することもできる。また、順流を袋体2の内側から外側に抜ける方向に設定したが、順流を袋体2の外側から内側に入る方向に設定することもできる。
