Abstract

The bag has a longitudinal sealing seam (9) connecting front walls (1) above an edge of side gussets (2) and strengthening a bag flange (10) in a region of the side gussets. A terminal lug (5) of a closure (4) covers an upper end of the side gussets. A demolished strip (12) is limited by weakening lines i.e. perforation lines, and separated below an upper bag edge (3) of one of the front walls in order to expose the closure. The longitudinal sealing seam is interrupted into a region of the demolished strip that extends over width of the front wall, where the bag is made of plastic film.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Seitenfaltenbeutel aus einer Kunststofffolie mit zwei Frontwänden, eingelegten Seitenfalten, die unterhalb des oberen Beutelrandes enden, einem Verschluss sowie Längssiegelnähten, welche die Frontwände oberhalb der Seitenfalten randseitig verbinden und die Beutelkanten im Bereich der Seitenfalten verstärken. Der Verschluss weist Anschlussfahrten mit Rastleisten auf und kann als Druckverschluss oder Schieberverschluss ausgebildet sein. Im Falle eines Schieberverschlusses ist ein entlang den Rastleisten bewegbarer Schieber vorgesehen. Die Anschlussfahnen überdecken das obere Ende der Seitenfalten. Um den Verschluss freizulegen, ist ein von Schwächungslinien begrenzter Abrissstreifen unterhalb des oberen Beutelrandes aus einer der beiden Frontwände abtrennbar.The invention relates to a gusseted bag made of a plastic film with two front walls, inserted gussets that end below the upper edge of the bag, a closure and Längssiegelnähten which connect the front walls above the gussets edge and reinforce the bag edges in the gussets. The closure has connecting rides with locking strips and can be designed as a pressure seal or slide closure. In the case of a slide closure, a slider movable along the locking strips is provided. The terminal lugs cover the top of the gussets. To expose the closure, a tear strip delimited by lines of weakness can be separated from one of the two front walls below the upper edge of the bag.

Eine der Anschlussfahnen ist mit einer ersten Frontwand verbunden und schließt das obere Ende der Seitenfalten zwischen sich und der Frontwand ein. Der zunächst flachliegende Seitenfakenbeutel wird in Befülleinrichtungen mit Füllgut beschickt. Die Befüllung erfolgt am Kopf des Seitenfaltenbeutels, wobei das Füllgut in eine Öffnung, die noch zwischen dem Verschluss und der zweiten Frontwand des Beutels vorhanden ist, eingeführt wird. Danach wird diese Öffnung durch eine Siegelnaht verschlossen. Seitenfaltenbeutel mit den beschriebenen Merkmalen werden u. a. zur Verpackung von Tierfutter verwendet.One of the terminal lugs is connected to a first front wall and encloses the upper end of the gussets between itself and the front wall. The initially flat side hook bag is loaded into filling devices with filling material. The filling takes place at the top of the gusseted bag, wherein the contents are introduced into an opening which is still present between the closure and the second front wall of the bag. Thereafter, this opening is closed by a sealed seam. Side gussets with the features described are u. a. used for packaging animal feed.

Bei einem aus der Praxis bekannten Seitenfaltenbeutel mit den eingangs beschriebenen Merkmalen ist der Abrissstreifen unterhalb des oberen Beutelrandes an einer Frontwand im Bereich zwischen den Längssiegelnähten angeordnet und kürzer als die Breite dieser Frontwand. Zum erstmaligen Öffnen wird der Abrißstreifen entfernt. In der dadurch freigelegten Öffnung ist der Verschluss zugänglich und kann beispielsweise ein Schieber des Verschlusses zum wiederholten Öffnen und Schließen entlang den Rastleisten bewegt werden. Der Kopfbereich des Seitenfaltenbeutels oberhalb des Verschlusses bleibt auch nach der erstmaligen Öffnung erhalten, so dass die Außenabmessungen und die optische Gestaltung des Beutels sich nicht verändern. Allerdings erschwert der Kopfbereich das Ausschütten des Schüttgutes und die Zugänglichkeit des Füllgutes bei geöffnetem Beutel. Nachteilig ist ferner, dass die Schüttöffnung konstruktionsbedingt deutlich schmaler ist als die Beutelbreite.In a known from practice gusseted bag with the features described above, the tear strip is located below the upper edge of the bag on a front wall in the area between the longitudinal sealing seams and shorter than the width of this front wall. For first opening the tear strip is removed. In the thus exposed opening of the closure is accessible and can, for example, a slider of the closure be moved along the locking bars for repeated opening and closing. The head area of the gusseted bag above the closure is retained even after the initial opening, so that the outer dimensions and the optical design of the bag do not change. However, the head area complicates the pouring of the bulk material and the accessibility of the contents with the bag open. Another disadvantage is that the pouring spout is by design significantly narrower than the bag width.

Aus DE 10 2005 022 743 A1 und EP 1 291 286 A1 sind Seitenfaltenbeutel mit Schieberverschlüssen bekannt, deren Schieberverschluss innerhalb des Beutels mit Abstand zum oberen Beutelrand angeordnet sind. Zum erstmaligen Öffnen des Beutels wird ein Kopfbereich des Beutels entlang einer in Höhe des Schieberverschlusses angeordneten Perforationslinie abgerissen. Der abzutrennende Kopfbereich besteht aus Folienabschnitten der beiden Frontwände, die an Längssiegelnähten und einer Kopfsiegelnaht verbunden sind und eine Handgriffausstanzung enthalten können ( EP 1 291 286 A1 ). Bei diesen Beutelausführungen ist nachteilig, dass die Außenabmessungen des Seitenfaltenbeutels durch das Abtrennen eines Kopfbereiches verändert und beispielsweise Handgriffausstanzungen, die im Kopfbereich vorgesehen sind, nach dem erstmaligen Öffnen des Beutels nicht mehr genutzt werden können.Out DE 10 2005 022 743 A1 and EP 1 291 286 A1 Side gusset bags with slide closures are known, the slide closure are arranged within the bag at a distance from the upper edge of the bag. To open the bag for the first time, a head region of the bag is torn off along a perforation line arranged at the level of the slider closure. The head portion to be cut consists of foil sections of the two front walls, which are connected to longitudinal sealing seams and a top seal seam and may contain a handle punching ( EP 1 291 286 A1 ). In these bag embodiments, it is disadvantageous that the outer dimensions of the gusseted bag are changed by the separation of a head area and, for example, handle punched holes provided in the head area can no longer be used after the first opening of the bag.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Seitenfaltenbeutel mit einem innerhalb des Beutels verdeckt angeordneten Verschluss anzugeben, dessen kopfseitige Schüttöffnung nach dem erstmaligen Öffnen des Beutels gut zugänglich ist, ohne dass ein Kopfbereich oberhalb des Verschlusses vollständig abgerissen werden muss.The invention has for its object to provide a gusseted bag with a concealed inside the bag arranged closure, the head-side pour opening after the first opening of the bag is easily accessible without a head area above the closure must be completely demolished.

Gegenstand der Erfindung und Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist ein Seitenfaltenbeutel nach Anspruch 1. Erfindungsgemäß sind die Längssiegelnähte des Seitenfaltenbeutels im Bereich eines Abrissstreifens unterbrochen, der unterhalb des oberen Beutelrandes aus einer der beiden Frontwände abtrennbar ist und sich über die Breite dieser Frontwand erstreckt. Der Verschluss wird durch Abtrennen des Abrissstreifens an nur einer Frontwand einseitig freigelegt, wobei die gegenüberliegende Frontwand unversehrt bleibt und ein Kopfbereich oberhalb des Verschlusses erhalten bleibt. Der Kopfbereich besteht aus Folienabschnitten der beiden Frontwände, die an beiden Seiten durch eine Längssiegelnaht verbunden sind. Die Außenabmessungen des Seitenfaltenbeutels bleiben auch nach dem erstmaligen Öffnen des Beutels erhalten. Insbesondere bleibt eine Bedruckung im Kopfbereich weiterhin sichtbar. Nach Abtrennen des Abrissstreifens kann der Kopfabschnitt an der noch unversehrten zweiten Frontwand um 180° umgeklappt werden, wobei die Schüttöffnung vollständig freigegeben wird. Die noch unversehrte zweite Frontwand bildet ein einlagiges Folienscharnier in Höhe des Verschlusses, welches sich leicht umklappen bzw. falten lässt.The invention and solution to this problem is a gusseted bag according to claim 1. According to the invention, the longitudinal sealing seams of the gusseted bag interrupted in the region of a tear strip, which can be separated below the upper edge of the bag from one of the two front walls and extends across the width of this front wall. The closure is unilaterally exposed by separating the tear strip on only one front wall, leaving the opposite front wall intact and maintaining a head area above the closure. The head area consists of film sections of the two front walls, which are connected on both sides by a longitudinal sealing seam. The outer dimensions of the gusseted bag are retained even after the first time the bag is opened. In particular, a print in the head area remains visible. After separating the tear strip, the head section can be folded over the still intact second front wall by 180 °, the pouring opening is completely released. The still intact second front wall forms a single-layer film hinge at the level of the closure, which can be easily folded or folded.

Wenn der Seitenfaltenbeutel mit einem Schieberverschluss ausgestattet ist, kann in der Frontwand eine randnahe Ausstanzung vorgesehen sein, damit der Schieber bei unversehrtem Beutel von außen sichtbar ist. Der Abrissstreifen erstreckt sich in diesem Fall von der Ausstanzung über die Breite der Frontwand bis zu der anderen Längsseite des Beutels.If the side gusset bag is equipped with a slider closure, the front wall can be provided with a cut-out close to the edge, so that the slider is visible from the outside when the bag is intact. The tear strip extends in this case from the punching across the width of the front wall to the other longitudinal side of the bag.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung ist am Kopfbereich des Seitenfaltenbeutels ein Handgriff vorgesehen. Der Handgriff kann aus einer an den Frontwänden befestigten Handgriffschlaufe oder einer die Frontwände durchsetzenden Handgriffausstanzung bestehen. Auch nach dem erstmaligen Öffnen des Seitenfaltenbeutels kann der Handgriff zum Tragen des Seitenfaltenbeutels genutzt werden. Zur Füllgutentnahme wird der Kopfbereich umgeklappt, so dass weder eine HandgrifPschlaufe noch Handgriffausstanzungen das Ausgießen des Füllgutes behindern. Nach einer Füllgutentnahme kann der Kopfbereich wieder senkrecht gestellt und der Handgriff als Tragegriff genutzt werden.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a handle is provided at the top of the side gusset bag. The handle may consist of a handle loop attached to the front walls or a hand punch hole passing through the front walls. Even after the first opening of the gusseted bag, the handle can be used to carry the gusseted bag. For filling material removal, the head area is folded down, so that neither a handle grip nor handle punch outs interfere with the pouring out of the contents. After a product removal The head area can be put back upright and the handle can be used as a carrying handle.

Die Anschlussfahnen des Verschlusses sind zweckmäßig an ihrem von den Rastleisten abgewandten unteren Ende durch eine luftdichte, trennbare Verbindung verbunden. Diese kann beispielsweise als peelfähige Verbindung ausgeführt sein oder aus einer als Lasernaht ausgebildeten Folienschwächung bestehen. Zumeist bestehen die Anschlussfahnen aus einem Extrusionsprofil, welches eine als Sollbruchstelle wirkende Dünnstelle aufweist.The terminal lugs of the closure are advantageously connected at their remote from the locking strips lower end by an air-tight, separable connection. This may be performed, for example, as a peelable compound or consist of a designed as a laser seam film weakening. In most cases, the connection lugs consist of an extrusion profile which has a thin point acting as a predetermined breaking point.

Der Abrissstreifen ist entlang einer Schwächungslinie abreißbar, die in Höhe des Verschlusses unterhalb der Rastleisten angeordnet ist und sich parallel zu den Rastleisten bis zu den beiden Rändern bzw. randseitigen Begrenzungen der Frontwand erstreckt. Eine randseitige Begrenzung kann beispielsweise von dem Rand einer in der Frontwand vorgesehenen Ausstanzung gebildet sein. Die Schwächungslinie kann aus einer durch Lasertechnik hergestellten Naht bestehen, die lediglich eine Deckschicht der vorzugsweise mehrschichtigen Frontwand durchsetzt. Geeignet ist aber auch eine Perforation durch das Folienmaterial der Frontwand. Da die Längssiegelnähte erfindungsgemäß im Bereich des Abrissstreifens unterbrochen sind, können Endstücke der Rastleisten sehr nahe am Beutelrand positioniert werden, so dass sich die Schüttöffnung nahezu über die gesamte Beutelbreite erstreckt.The tear strip can be torn off along a weakening line, which is arranged at the level of the closure below the locking strips and extends parallel to the locking strips up to the two edges or marginal boundaries of the front wall. An edge-side boundary can be formed, for example, by the edge of a cutout provided in the front wall. The weakening line can consist of a seam produced by laser technology, which passes through only one cover layer of the preferably multilayered front wall. But is also a perforation through the foil material of the front wall. Since the longitudinal sealing seams are interrupted according to the invention in the region of the tear strip, end pieces of the locking strips can be positioned very close to the edge of the bag, so that the pouring opening extends almost over the entire bag width.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Seitenfaltenbeutels sieht vor, dass der Abrissstreifen an zumindest einem Ende eine Lasche aufweist, die durch eine Ausstanzung in der Frontwand gebildet ist. Ferner kann der Abrissstreifen eine fensterförmige Ausstanzung enthalten, welche einem Schieber des Verschlusses in seiner Schließstellung umgibt. Für den Verbraucher ist dadurch sofort von außen erkennbar, dass die Verpackung mit einem Schieberverschluss ausgerüstet ist und der Schieberverschluss ordnungsgemäß geschlossen ist.A further advantageous embodiment of the gusseted bag according to the invention provides that the tear strip has at least one end of a tab which is formed by a punched-out in the front wall. Furthermore, the tear strip may include a window-shaped cutout which surrounds a slide of the closure in its closed position. For the consumer, this immediately indicates from the outside that the packaging equipped with a slide closure and the slide closure is properly closed.

Der in den Figuren dargestellte Seitenfaltenbeutel ist aus einer Kunststofffolie gefertigt und wird beispielsweise zum Verpacken von Tierfutter eingesetzt. Er besteht in seinem grundsätzlichen Aufbau aus zwei Frontwänden 1, 1', V-förmig eingelegten Seitenfalten 2, die unterhalb des oberen Beutelrandes 3 enden, sowie einem Verschluss 4, in Form eines Schieberverschlusse, der Anschlussfahnen 5 mit Rastleisten 6 und einen entlang den Rastleisten 6 bewegbaren Schieber 7 aufweist. Die Anschlussfahnen 5 des Verschlusses überdecken das obere Ende der Seitenfalten 2 und erstrecken sich im Ausführungsbeispiel über die gesamte Beutelbreite. An ihrem von den Rastleisten 6 abgewandten unteren Ende sind sie durch eine luftdichte, trennbare Verbindung 8 verbunden. Die Verbindung 8 bildet einen Originalitätsverschluss, der beim erstmaligen Gebrauch des Seitenfaltenbeutels aufgerissen wird.The gusseted bag shown in the figures is made of a plastic film and is used, for example, for packaging animal feed. It consists in its basic structure of two front walls 1, 1 ', V-shaped inserted gussets 2, which end below the upper edge of the bag 3, and a closure 4, in the form of a slide fastener, the terminal lugs 5 with locking strips 6 and along the locking strips 6 movable slide 7 has. The terminal lugs 5 of the closure cover the upper end of the gussets 2 and extend in the embodiment over the entire bag width. At their remote from the locking strips 6 lower end they are characterized by an airtight, disconnectable connection 8 connected. The connection 8 forms a tamper-evident closure which is torn open during the first use of the gusseted bag.

Der Seitenfaltenbeutel weist Längssiegelnähte 9 auf, welche die Frontwände 1, 1' oberhalb der Seitenfalte 2 randseitig verbinden und die Beutelkanten 10 im Bereich der Seitenfalten 2 verstärken.The gusseted bag has longitudinal sealing seams 9 which connect the front walls 1, 1 'at the edge above the gusset 2 and reinforce the bag edges 10 in the area of the gussets 2.

Unterhalb des oberen Beutelrandes 3 ist aus einer der beiden Frontwände, hier der Frontwand 1, ein von Schwächungslinien 11, 11' begrenzter Abrissstreifen 12 abtrennbar, um den innerhalb des Beutels verdeckt angeordneten Verschluss 4 freizulegen. Der Darstellung in Fig. 1 entnimmt man, dass der Abrissstreifen 12 sich über die Breite der Frontwand 1 erstreckt und dass die Längssiegelnähte 9 im Bereich des Abrissstreifens 12 unterbrochen sind. An zumindest einem Ende weist der Abrissstreifen 12 eine Lasche 13 auf, die durch eine Ausstanzung in der Frontwand gebildet ist. Ferner enthält der Abrissstreifen 12 eine fensterförmige Ausstanzung 14, welche den Schieber 7 in seiner in Fig. 1 dargestellten Schließstellung umgibt. Im Rahmen der Erfindung liegt es auch, dass die Ausstanzung 14 randnah in der Frontwand 1 vorgesehen ist und der Abrissstreifen sich von der Ausstanzung 14 bis zu der anderen Längsseite erstreckt.Below the upper edge of the bag 3, a tear strip 12 delimited by lines of weakness 11, 11 'can be separated from one of the two front walls, here the front wall 1, in order to expose the closure 4 arranged concealed inside the bag. The representation in Fig. 1 If one deduces that the tear strip 12 extends over the width of the front wall 1 and that the longitudinal sealing seams 9 are interrupted in the region of the tear strip 12. At least one end of the tear strip 12 has a tab 13 which is formed by a punched-out in the front wall. Furthermore, the tear strip 12 includes a window-shaped cut-out 14, which the slider 7 in his in Fig. 1 surrounds shown closed position. In the context of the invention, it is also that the punch 14 is provided close to the edge in the front wall 1 and the tear strip extends from the punch 14 to the other longitudinal side.

Der Abrissstreifen ist entlang einer Schwächungslinie 11 abreißbar, die im Bereich des Verschlusses 4 unterhalb der Rastleisten 6 angeordnet ist und sich parallel zu den Rastleisten 6 bis zu den beiden Rändern der Frontwand 1 erstreckt. Durch Heraustrennen des Abrissstreifens 12 wird der Verschluss 4 einseitig freigelegt, wobei die rückseitige Frontwand 1' unversehrt bleibt und ein über dem Verschluss liegender Kopfbereich 15 des Seitenfaltenbeutels mit dem Beutel verbunden bleibt (Fig. 3). In diesem Kopfbereich 15 oberhalb des Abrissstreifens 12 sind die Frontwände 1,1' mit einer Handgriffausstanzung 16 versehen, die weiterhin genutzt werden kann. Auch eine Bedruckung des Seitenfaltenbeutels im Kopfbereich 15 bleibt weiterhin sichtbar. Der Kopfbereich 15 ist optional durch eine Quersiegelnaht 17 entlang des oberen Beutelrandes und vorzugsweise durch eine weitere Quersiegelnaht 18 unterhalb der Handgriffausstanzung 16 begrenzt.The tear strip can be torn off along a weakening line 11, which is arranged in the region of the closure 4 below the locking strips 6 and extends parallel to the locking strips 6 up to the two edges of the front wall 1. By separating the tear strip 12, the closure 4 is unilaterally exposed, the back-side front wall 1 'remaining intact and a head region 15 of the side-folding bag lying above the closure remaining connected to the bag ( Fig. 3 ). In this head region 15 above the tear strip 12, the front walls are 1,1 'with a handle punch 16th provided, which can still be used. Even a printing of the gusseted bag in the head area 15 remains visible. The head region 15 is optionally delimited by a transverse sealing seam 17 along the upper edge of the bag, and preferably by a further transverse sealing seam 18 below the handle punching 16.

Aus einer vergleichenden Betrachtung der Fig. 4 und 5 wird deutlich, dass der Kopfbereich 15 des Seitenfaltenbeutels oberhalb des Abrissstreifens 12 nach Entfernen des Abrissstreifens 12 um 180° umgeklappt werden kann, so dass die Schüttöffnung frei zugänglich ist und eine Füllgutentnahme durch den Kopfbereich 15 des Beutels nicht behindert wird. Die im Bereich des Abrissstreifens 12 unversehrte Rückwand 1' des Seitenfaltenbeutels bildet dabei ein Folienscharnier, welches leicht umgelegt bzw. gefaltet werden kann. Nach der Füllgutentnahme kann der Kopfbereich 15 wieder senkrecht gestellt werden und die Handgriffausstanzung 16 im Kopfbereich 15 als Tragegriff genutzt werden.From a comparative analysis of the Fig. 4 and 5 It is clear that the head portion 15 of the gusseted bag can be folded over the tear strip 12 after removal of the tear strip 12 by 180 °, so that the pour opening is freely accessible and a Füllgutentnahme is not hindered by the head portion 15 of the bag. The intact in the region of the tear strip 12 back wall 1 'of the side gusseted bag forms a film hinge, which can be easily folded or folded.
