Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Folienbeutel für Hygieneartikel, insbesondere für gestapelte Abschmink-Pads, nach dem Oberbegriff des Schutzanspruches 1.The invention relates to a foil bag for hygiene articles, in particular for stacked make-up removal pads, according to the preamble of protection claim 1.

Ein ähnlicher Folienbeutel ist z.B. aus der deutschen Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE-U-17 43 587 bekannt. Hierbei ist ein Folienschlauch zur Bildung einer im wesentlichen zylindrischen Beutelwand vorgesehen, dessen unteres Ende durch entsprechendes Einfalten der Beutelwand und eine Hochfrequenzschweißung der eingefalteten Bereiche dicht verschlossen ist. Vorzugsweise kann an diesem Ende eine Entnahmeöffnung in Form von vorgestanzten Perforationslinien vorgesehen sein.A similar foil pouch is e.g. known from the German utility model DE-U-17 43 587. Here, a film tube is provided to form an essentially cylindrical bag wall, the lower end of which is tightly sealed by correspondingly folding the bag wall and high-frequency welding of the folded-in areas. A removal opening in the form of pre-punched perforation lines can preferably be provided at this end.

Bei dem bekannten Folienbeutel ist weiterhin an der zweiten Öffnungsseite, beispielsweise also am oberen Ende, eine Aufhängekordel für den Beutel vorgesehen, die in einem durch Umschlagen des Schlauchrandes und Verschweißen gebildeten Hohlkanal läuft.In the known film bag, a hanging cord for the bag is also provided on the second opening side, for example at the upper end, which runs in a hollow channel formed by folding over the edge of the tube and welding.

Dieser bekannte Folienbeutel ist insofern nachteilig, als der Hohlkanal zur Aufnahme der Aufhängekordel nur relativ aufwendig zu fertigen ist. Darüber hinaus verbleibt beim Zusammenziehen der Kordel aufgrund der Raffung des Folienmaterials regelmäßig eine zentrale Öffnung, die einem möglichst hermetischen Verschluß des Folienbeutels entgegenwirkt. Weiterhin ist der Verbraucher geneigt, den Folienbeutel statt - wie vorgesehen - im Bereich der unteren Entnahmeöffnungen am entgegengesetzten Ende durch Lösen des Kordelknotens und Aufziehen der gerafften Öffnung zu öffnen.This known film bag is disadvantageous in that the hollow channel for receiving the suspension cord is only relatively expensive to manufacture. In addition, when the cord is pulled together, a central opening regularly remains due to the gathering of the film material, which counteracts the hermetic sealing of the film bag. Furthermore, the consumer is inclined to open the film bag instead of - as provided - in the area of the lower removal openings at the opposite end by loosening the cord knot and opening the gathered opening.

Ein Folienbeutel der gattungsgemäßen Art ist aus der FR-A-11 49 418 bekannt. Dieser Folienbeutel besteht ebenfalls aus einem Folienschlauch, der eine im wesentlichen zylindrische Beutelwand bildet. An beiden Schlauchenden ist der Folienbeutel verschlossen, wobei am oberen Ende eine Aufhängekordel für den Beutel angeordnet ist. Der Verschluß am oberen Ende ist durch eine quer zur Beutel-Längsachse laufende, lineare Folienschweißnaht zwischen den bezüglich der Naht gegenüberliegenden Beutelwandbereichen gebildet.A film bag of the generic type is known from FR-A-11 49 418. This film bag also consists of a film tube which forms an essentially cylindrical bag wall. The film bag is closed at both hose ends, with a hanging cord for the bag being arranged at the upper end. The closure at the upper end is formed by a linear film weld seam running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the bag between the bag wall regions opposite with respect to the seam.

Nachteilig bei diesem Folienbeutel ist die Tatsache, daß für die Aufnahme der Aufhängekordel ein relativ aufwendig zu fertigender Hohlkanal vorgesehen ist, für den zusätzliche Schweißnähte am Folienbeutel angebracht werden müssen.A disadvantage of this film bag is the fact that a hollow channel which is relatively expensive to manufacture is provided for receiving the suspension cord, for which additional weld seams have to be attached to the film bag.

Ausgehend von den geschilderten Nachteilen des Standes der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Folienbeutel der gattungsgemäßen Art so zu verbessern, daß unter Beibehaltung eines möglichst einfachen, dabei aber dichten Verschließens des Beutels mit Hilfe einer linearen Verbindungsnaht ein einfaches Anbringen der Aufhängekordel möglich ist.Based on the described disadvantages of the prior art, the object of the invention is to improve a film bag of the generic type in such a way that simple attachment of the hanging cord is possible while maintaining as simple as possible but tight sealing of the bag with the aid of a linear connecting seam .

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichnungsteil des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Demnach ist der Verschluß am oberen Ende des Folienbeutels durch eine quer zur Beutel-Längsachse verlaufende, lineare Verbindungsnaht zwischen den bezüglich der Naht gegenüberliegenden Beutelwandbereichen gebildet, wobei die Aufhängekordel unterhalb der Verbindungsnaht durch den Beutel gezogen ist, so daß sie die Beutelwand unterhalb der Verbindungsnaht durchdringt und innerhalb des Beutels zwischen den gegenüberliegenden Beutelwandbereichen verläuft. Von Vorteil bei dieser Konstruktion ist dabei, daß lediglich mit einer einzigen Quernaht gearbeitet werden muß, so daß ein aufwendiges Umschlagen des Beutelrandes und Einlegen der Aufhängekordel in einen Hohlkanal entfallen kann. Darüber hinaus ist der Folienbeutel bis auf die Ein- und Austrittsöffnung der Aufhängekordel verschlossen, wobei diese beiden Durchtrittsöffnungen jedoch so klein gehalten werden können, daß sie die Aufhängekordel eng umschließen (Anspruch 5) und der Beutel damit praktisch dicht verschlossen ist.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. Accordingly, the closure at the upper end of the film bag is formed by a linear connecting seam running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the bag between the bag wall regions opposite with respect to the seam, the suspension cord being pulled through the bag below the connecting seam so that it penetrates the bag wall below the connecting seam and runs within the bag between the opposing bag wall areas. The advantage of this construction is that only a single transverse seam is required, so that there is no need to turn the edge of the bag and insert the hanging cord into a hollow channel. In addition, the film bag is closed except for the inlet and outlet opening of the hanging cord, but these two through openings can be kept so small that they closely enclose the hanging cord (claim 5) and the bag is thus practically sealed.

Die Unteransprüche geben vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des Erfindungsgegenstandes an. So ist die im Anspruch 2 angegebene Folienschweißnaht eine besonders einfach herstellbare Alternative für die Verbindungsnaht.The subclaims indicate advantageous developments of the subject matter of the invention. Thus, the film weld seam specified in claim 2 is a particularly simple to produce alternative for the connecting seam.

Bei der nach Anspruch 3 vorgesehenen Anordnung der Aufhängekordel parallel zur Verbindungsnaht wirkt letztere praktisch als zusätzliche Verstärkung, so daß auch bei einem starken Zug an der Aufhängekordel ein Ausreißen des Beutelmaterials verhindert wird. Dies wirkt sich insbesondere vorteilhaft aus, wenn der Folienbeutel, wie in Anspruch 6 angegeben ist, mittels der Aufhängekordel im Bereich der Verbindungsnaht gerafft ist und diese Raffung mittels einer außerhalb des Folienbeutels angeordneten Verknotung der Aufhängekordel fixiert ist. Mit der letztgenannten Ausgestaltung wirkt der Folienbeutel darüber hinaus wie ein solcher nach dem Stand der Technik, so daß das für den Endverbraucher gewohnte Erscheinungsbild des Folienbeutels nicht verändert wird.In the arrangement according to claim 3 of the hanging cord parallel to the connecting seam, the latter acts practically as additional reinforcement, so that even with a strong pull on the hanging cord, tearing of the bag material is prevented. This has a particularly advantageous effect if, as stated in claim 6, the foil bag is gathered in the area of the connecting seam by means of the hanging cord and this gathering is fixed by means of a knot of the hanging cord arranged outside the foil bag. With the last-mentioned embodiment, the film bag also acts like one according to the prior art, so that the familiar appearance of the film bag for the end user is not changed.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Folienbeutel 1 ist aus einem im wesentlichen rechteckigen Folienzuschnitt gefertigt, der mit Hilfe einer geschweißten Längsnaht 2 zu einem Folienschlauch unter Bildung einer im wesentlichen zylindrischen Beutelwand 3 geformt ist. Der Folienschlauch ist an seinem unteren Ende 4 in nicht näher dargestellter Weise durch Einfalten sich überlappender Abschnitte und deren Verschweißung verschlossen. Die somit gebildete Bodenfläche 5 ist mit einer Kreisperforation 6 zur Bildung einer Entnahmeöffnung versehen.A film bag 1 according to the invention is made from a substantially rectangular film blank, which is shaped with the aid of a welded longitudinal seam 2 to form a film tube to form a substantially cylindrical bag wall 3. The film tube is closed at its lower end 4 in a manner not shown by folding overlapping sections and welding them. The bottom surface 5 thus formed is provided with a circular perforation 6 to form a removal opening.

Der Folienbeutel 1 dient zur Aufnahme von etwa kreisrunden Abschmink-Pads 7 aus gestanzten Watte-Ronden, die in den Figuren strichliert angedeutet sind.The foil bag 1 is used to hold approximately circular make-up removal pads 7 made of punched wadding blanks, which are indicated by dashed lines in the figures.

Am oberen Ende 8 des Folienbeutels 1 ist eine quer zur Beutellängsachse 9 verlaufende, lineare Folienschweißnaht 10 vorgesehen, die die bezüglich der Naht 10 gegenüberliegenden Beutelwandbereiche verbindet. Aufgrund dieser Folienschweißnaht 10 ist das obere Ende 8 des Folienbeutels 1 im wesentlichen dachförmig ausgebildet, wie aus Fig. 1 deutlich wird. Die Folienschweißnaht 10 verläuft im übrigen in einem rechten Winkel W zu der Längsnaht 2.At the upper end 8 of the film bag 1, a linear film weld seam 10 is provided which runs transversely to the longitudinal axis 9 of the bag and connects the bag wall regions opposite each other with respect to the seam 10. Because of this film weld seam 10, the upper end 8 of the film bag 1 is essentially roof-shaped, as is clear from FIG. 1. The film weld seam 10 also runs at a right angle W to the longitudinal seam 2.

Unterhalb der Folienschweißnaht 10 ist durch den Folienbeutel 1 eine Aufhängekordel 11 hindurchgezogen, die in der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Konfiguration im wesentlichen parallel zur Folienschweißnaht 10 durch den Beutel verläuft und mittels eines Knotens 17 zu einem Ring geschlossen ist.Below the film weld 10, a hanging cord 11 is drawn through the film bag 1, which in the configuration shown in FIG. 1 runs essentially parallel to the film weld 10 through the bag and is closed by means of a knot 17 to form a ring.

Die beiden Durchtrittsöffnungen 12, 13 der Aufhängekordel 11 durch die Beutelwand 3 sind dabei in einem Abstand a von etwa 3 mm unterhalb der beiden Endpunkte 14, 15 der Folienschweißnaht 10 angeordnet und umschließen die Aufhängekordel 11 eng, da letztere mit Hilfe einer Art Haken-Nadel unmittelbar beim Durchziehen der Aufhängekordel 11 durch den Beutel eingestochen werden.The two through openings 12, 13 of the suspension cord 11 through the bag wall 3 are at a distance a of about 3 mm below the Both end points 14, 15 of the film weld 10 are arranged and enclose the hanging cord 11 closely, since the latter are pierced by a kind of hook needle directly when pulling the hanging cord 11 through the bag.

Nach der Fertigung des Folienbeutels 1 bis zu der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Konfiguration kann die Aufhängekordel 11 zusammengezogen und damit der Folienbeutel 1 im Bereich seines oberen Endes 8 gerafft werden (Raffung 16), wie dies in Fig. 2 angedeutet ist. Diese Raffung 16 ist mittels eines außerhalb des Folienbeutels 1 angeordneten Knotens 17' fixiert. Mit Hilfe der damit ebenfalls gebildeten losen Schlinge 18 der Aufhängekordel 11 kann der Folienbeutel 1 beispielsweise in einem Badezimmer aufgehängt werden, wobei die Schlinge 18 auch über größere Gegenstände, wie beispielsweise Möbelknäufe od.dgl. paßt.After the production of the film bag 1 up to the configuration shown in FIG. 1, the hanging cord 11 can be pulled together and the film bag 1 can thus be gathered in the region of its upper end 8 (gathering 16), as indicated in FIG. 2. This gathering 16 is fixed by means of a knot 17 'arranged outside the foil bag 1. With the help of the thus formed loose loop 18 of the hanging cord 11, the foil bag 1 can be hung, for example, in a bathroom, the loop 18 or the like also over larger objects, such as furniture knobs. fits.
