Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of bags comprising complementary closure profiles designed to allow a series of successive openings / closings by a user. Many types of bags and / or closure profiles have already been proposed for this purpose.
- Bags with slider-actuated closure profiles offer the enormous advantage, compared to bags without a slider, of easy handling.
- the cursor facilitates the release of the profiles for the opening of the bags, or respectively the engagement of the profiles for the closure of said bags. You just have to move the translation cursor along the profiles.
- closure profiles provided with their cursor are fixed on the free edges of the plastic film, that is to say at the right of the longitudinal weld closing the tube longitudinally.
- closure profiles and their associated sliders in particular because of the extra thickness they create, disturb the sealing and the closing of the bags.
- the invention proposes to overcome these drawbacks. To this end, the invention proposes an automatic manufacturing process for sachets equipped with complementary closure profiles secured to separate support webs and associated with an actuating slider according to which:
- a closing assembly comprising complementary closing profiles secured to separate lateral support webs which extend beyond the closing profiles, the profiles being associated with actuating sliders for the closing profiles distributed over the length of the closure assembly routed,
- the closure assembly thus formed is fixed, by means of the lateral support webs on the film forming the wall of the bag, characterized in that - a loop is made in the moving film;
- the closure assembly is fixed in a concave part of the loop on the surface of the film which corresponds to the outer surface of the bag.
- the closure assembly is fixed to the surface of the film before the plastic film runs on an automatic machine for making bags with horizontal scrolling;
- the loop is made in the film running by fingers fixed on the frame of the machine and extending in staggered rows relative to each other to give the loop a substantially W shape; - the pitch of the sliders on the closure assembly is equal to the size of the bags to be formed;
- the closure assembly is routed parallel to (a direction of movement of the film
- the closure assembly includes pre-welds with constant pitch ensuring a connection between the complementary closure profiles, before routing on the automatic bag forming machine;
- the present invention also relates to a machine for manufacturing sachets and to the sachets obtained.
- - Figure 1 is a perspective representation of an automatic manufacturing machine according to the prior art
- - Figure 2 is a perspective representation of a possible embodiment of an automatic manufacturing machine according to the invention
- Figure 3 is a sectional representation of the possible embodiment of an automatic manufacturing machine of Figure 2;
- FIG. 4 is a sectional representation of another possible embodiment of a loop on the film before fixing the fixing assemblies and before running the film on the forming neck;
- FIG. 5 is a sectional representation of a loop on which has been fixed the fixing assembly before running the film on the forming neck
- FIG. 6 is a sectional representation of a loop according to FIG. 5 when it passes over the forming neck
- FIG. 7 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a particular embodiment of a forming neck according to the present invention
- - Figure 8 shows a view on an enlarged scale of a detail of implementation of the invention in this context.
- the present invention relates to the manufacture on an automatic machine of reclosable bags with closure profiles actuated by a cursor.
- the present invention can be applied as well to machines for automatic manufacture of bags with horizontal scrolling as to machines for automatic manufacturing of bags with vertical scrolling.
- the present invention applies equally to machines for automatically manufacturing sachets with filling during a step subsequent to manufacture and possibly geographically separated from the place of manufacture, as to machines for manufacturing, filling and closing, in a single place and in successive stages.
- the present invention applies preferably, but not limited to, automatic manufacturing machines, filling and closing of bags (generally called "form, fill and seal” in English), and very advantageously such vertical scrolling machines.
- FIG. 1 A description of such automatic filling and closing machines for sachets with vertical displacement can be found in the documents cited in the prior art of the present application.
- FIG. 1 for the understanding of the operation of such machines.
- the structure of a possible embodiment of a manufacturing machine according to the invention is shown in Figure 2. It is inspired by the structure of the machine of Figure 1. Similar elements in Figures 1 and 2 are referenced by identical numbers. Reference is also made to FIG. 3 which is a sectional view of this first possible embodiment.
- closure profiles 30, 40 can be the subject of numerous alternative embodiments. They are preferably male / female profiles or additional hooks respectively. Their structure will not be described in more detail below. According to the invention, the closure profiles 30, 40 are carried by separate lateral support webs 26, 28, respectively.
- each cursor 50 can be the subject of numerous variant embodiments.
- each cursor is composed, as can be seen in FIG. 3 of a sole 52 which carries on one face two lateral wings 54, 56 and a central separation rib 58 which defines in combination with the lateral wings 54, 56 two converging / diverging corridors in the direction considered, intended to respectively receive one of the sections 30, 40.
- the structure of the sliders which may be used in the context of the invention will not be described in more detail below.
- this closure assembly 10 is equal to the size of the sachets to be formed. As shown schematically in Figure 2, this closure assembly 10 is preferably routed longitudinally and fixed (preferably by welding) via these external side sails
- a loop is made in the moving film on the side substantially opposite to the free edges of the moving film 110.
- the loop has substantially the shape of a W. This shape of W is given by fingers 132, 133, 134 arranged in staggered rows relative to each other.
- the two fingers 132, 134 are arranged on the internal surface of the film 110.
- the finger 133, interposed between the fingers 132, 134, is placed on the external surface of the film 110.
- the fingers 132, 133, 134 are fixed for example on the machine frame.
- the outer webs 26, 28 are welded to the film 110 using the means 131 (FIG.
- the means 131 must ensure heat transfer for the welding of the separate external support webs 26 and 28 on the film 110, but avoid the bonding of the latter between them.
- Such means are known to those skilled in the art. and will not be described in this application. They can be formed by finger 133.
- FIG. 4 shows a section of an assembly of two fingers 133, 134 partially juxtaposed allowing a folding capable of generating a loop capable of securing the closure assembly 10 on the film 110.
- FIG. 5 shows the arrangement of the closure assembly 10 on the film 110 before it passes over the forming neck.
- the fastening assembly 10 is fixed in this configuration by means of welding means similar to the means 131.
- the fastening assembly 10 is preferably fixed in the concave part of the loop on the surface of the film 110 which corresponds to the external surface of the sachet.
- the separate external support webs 26, 28 are very preferably welded to the film 110, at their free section 26a, 28a.
- the closure assembly 10 fixed in the concave part of the loop straightens to match the shape of the tube. We can help this straightening with fingers 132 and 134.
- the bag can therefore be welded longitudinally by the means 130 as in the first embodiment.
- the closure assembly 10 is cut to size of the bag by the conventional cutting means, preferably associated with the transverse welding means 140 ensuring the individualization of the bags.
- closure profiles 30, 40 are in engagement (closed position) during attachment to the film 110. This arrangement guarantees precise and correct positioning of the closure assembly 10 on the film 110.
- closure profiles 30, 40 can be subsequently separated, by displacement of the sliders 50 using an appropriate tool, if necessary.
- pre-welds 60 with constant pitch of connection between the closure profiles 30, 40 complementary before the routing on the automatic bag forming machine.
- the pitch of these pre-welds 60 is equal to the size of the bags.
- the closure sections 30, 40 are engaged (closed position) between the cursor 50 and one of the pre-welds 60 and released (open position) between the cursor 50 and the other adjacent pre-weld 60 .
- pre-welds 60 are not always essential.
- the implementations which avoid the use of such pre-welds have the advantage of avoiding any need to locate the position of the closure assembly relative to the film.
- a line of weakness or pre-cutting can be provided on the surface of the film 110, for example in the middle position of the concave part.
- Such a pre-cutting line is shown diagrammatically under the reference 25 in FIGS. 3 and 6.
- the sheets 26 and 28 supporting the profiles, as well as the film 110 used in the context of the present invention can be the subject of numerous variant embodiments. It may be a simple film of thermoplastic material, or even a composite thermoplastic film, that is to say formed by juxtaposition of different layers of different nature, or else a complex film formed for example of plastic coated paper or film metallic.
- the present invention is not limited to the particular embodiments which have just been described but extends to any variant in accordance with its spirit.
- the complementary closure profiles 30, 40 can be attached, for example glued or welded, to the support sheets 26 and 28 or joined in the mass, for example from molding, with these support sheets 26 and 28.
- the width of the external lateral webs 26, 28 can be of the order of 10 to 40 mm.
- the forming neck 100 has a polygonal cross section, preferably square. Furthermore, a loop 114 is formed projecting outwards at each of the corners of the neck 100. One of these loops 114 is formed by the union of the two free edges of the film. Preferably, these loops 114 are fixed by any suitable welding or bonding means, at the level of their facing internal surface as is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 7.
- one of these loops 114 is itself provided with a concavity 116 intended to receive the slider closure assembly described above in accordance with the present invention.
- a closure assembly 10 comprising two closure profiles 30, 40 carried by separate lateral support webs 26, 28 respectively and equipped with a slider 50.
- the fastening of the closure assembly on the external surface of the loop 116 is carried out by means of the support web elements 26a, 28a.
- the outer surface of the film 110 may be provided, at least locally at the level of the fixing zone of the closure assembly 10, and before the fixing thereof, d 'A layer of material suitable for facilitating the fixing of the assembly 10, preferably by welding.
