Definitions
- the invention relates to a bag with a wall which surrounds a bag interior, and a first floor, on whose side facing away from the bag interior a cover sheet is arranged.
- Such a bag is formed for example as a paper bag and known from the prior art for a long time.
- a generic bag is for example from the EP 2 132 103 B1 known.
- a similar bag is out of the EP 2 403 772 B1 known.
- a bag according to the preamble of claim 1 is usually used in the form of a valve bag, an open bottom bag or a block bottom bag and is mainly used as packaging for pourable goods.
- a valve bag an open bottom bag or a block bottom bag
- other configurations and other materials for use with such bags are known.
- the invention solves this problem by a bag with a wall surrounding a bag interior, and a first floor, on whose side facing away from the bag interior a cover sheet is arranged, and which is characterized in that at the first bottom a support member for a Nutzelement is arranged so that it is located inside relative to the cover sheet and after opening of the cover sheet is movable so that an emptying of the bag facilitates and the Nutzelement becomes accessible, wherein the support element (18) over its entire circumference with the rest of the Sackes is connected.
- the carrier element is arranged relative to the cover sheet inside. This means that it is closer to the bag interior than the cover sheet and is advantageously at least partially covered by this cover sheet.
- the carrier element is therefore not arranged recognizable from the outside in a closed filled bag.
- the cover sheet is opened and in particular torn open in the rule.
- tear-off aids in the form of, for example, tear-open tabs may be present, which facilitate and facilitate tearing of the cover sheet.
- the carrier element is preferably visible and can now be moved in such a way that on the one hand the emptying of the bag is facilitated and the useful element becomes accessible.
- the carrier element For example, arranged so that it at least partially covers the opening caused by the tearing or opening of the cover sheet, so that at the same time ensures that no or very few elements or components of the cover sheet in the contents inside the bag can trickle in. Only by moving the carrier element from this preferred position, the emptying of the bag is facilitated because the resulting from the tearing of the cover sheet opening in the bag is no longer covered by the support member. By the same or a second movement of the carrier element, the useful element is accessible and can be used.
- the carrier element is an inner latch.
- Internal latches are known from the prior art and are glued to the inside of the respective floor in order to increase the stability and stability of a paper bag.
- EP 2 132 103 B1 is a bag with such an inner bar known.
- the carrier element formed as an inner latch according to an embodiment of the present invention is not connected on all sides with the bag via an adhesive layer, since this prevents movement of the support element relative to the rest of the bag, as required by the invention would.
- the inner bar described in the prior art is therefore not suitable to be used as a carrier element according to the present invention.
- the support element can also be formed as an internal latch, which refers in particular to its position and location.
- an opening resulting from the tearing open of the cover sheet can be at least partially covered by the carrier element in the respective bottom of the bag, even if the carrier element is not connected to the remainder of the bag over its entire circumference.
- the useful element is at least one print, which is applied to the carrier element.
- the useful element is therefore not necessarily a separate component, but may, for example, in a printing, so for example, at least one applied ink layer exist.
- warning, consumption or durability information but also information be printed on any possible competitions or lotteries or other information directly on the support element.
- This does not have to be the case with all sacks used or can occur with different sacks, for example in different languages.
- all bags have such a carrier element, it is possible to easily produce differently configured bags, for example with labels in different languages, without the need to retrofit production lines or to provide different bag configurations.
- this embodiment also has the advantage that it is not recognizable from the outside, in which form the Nutzelement is formed, so that the bags can be formed from the outside indistinguishable.
- the useful element is at least one printed paper, which is preferably coated or wrapped in a protective cover and fixed to the support element.
- a separate printed paper for example in the form of an optionally folded or unfolded sheet or a booklet or a booklet can be enclosed in this way. If this, for example, wrapped in a protective cover, for example, from a plastic film, it can lead to contamination of the Nutzimplantations by the filler material located in the bag nor to contamination of the filler due to the Nutzettis.
- the carrier element may comprise or consist of a plurality of different materials.
- paper elements can be used which use paper types known from the prior art, paper coatings or a paper composite with or without aluminum.
- a cardboard can also be used as a carrier element.
- the carrier element is not limited to paper or paperboard products.
- plastic films such as a water-soluble film, a film composite with or without aluminum, or other plastics can be used.
- plastic or glass fabrics, a spun fleece, leather or other papers or cardboard can be used.
- the materials used for the carrier element biodegradable and / or recyclable. This includes, among other things, rigid or flexible plastics, metal or wood components as well as combinations of the materials mentioned here.
- the carrier element is located on the inside of the bottom and can thus come into direct contact with the filling material or filling material. This type of construction ensures that the carrier element and the useful element are well protected from external influences and yet be made easily accessible.
- the useful element is at least also an object which is arranged on the carrier element.
- the useful element can advantageously be an RFID chip. This makes it possible to track transport routes, storage and usage times of a bag over its entire period of use.
- objects for example, chip cards, key fobs or other objects can be used, which can be used for example for lotteries or sweepstakes or for data collection.
- the carrier element has to be unfolded or unrolled at least once so that the useful element is accessible.
- the useful element is almost completely surrounded by the support element and protected by it, so that it does not come into contact, for example, directly with the contents inside the bag.
- This can be advantageous both from the point of view of avoiding soiling of the filling material and from the point of view of ensuring the functioning of an optionally electronic article which is used as a useful element.
- the carrier element and the useful element are wrapped together in a protective cover, wherein this is preferably a film, in which the carrier element and the Nutzelement are welded.
- the support member is attached to a bottom flap of the first floor, preferably glued or welded, which is integrally formed with the wall.
- a bottom flap of the first floor preferably glued or welded, which is integrally formed with the wall.
- no additional components for the bag are needed, so that even an existing bag or an existing production line for conventional bags can be easily nach- or retrofitted.
- Paper bags and paper valve bags usually have at least one bottom, which is at least partially formed of bottom flaps, which are part of the wall of the bag.
- the bottom is a valve bottom and / or a counter bottom.
- a valve bottom is a bottom in a bag, which is equipped with an additional valve, which makes it possible to fill the container via a suitable filling system. After filling, the bag is self-closing or is closed in conjunction with a thermal closing unit.

- the bag 1 has a first bottom 6 and an opposite valve bottom 8. Both the valve bottom 8 and the first bottom 6 are each covered by a cover sheet 10, wherein the cover sheet 10 on the first bottom 6 has a Aufrich Huawei 12 in the form of a tear strip , As an alternative to the illustrated embodiment, it is known that the two cover sheets 10 are also folded over the edge transversely to the bag 1 and glued to the wall 2 as a reinforcement.
- FIG. 2 shows a section of the bag 1 with the wall 2, in which the tear-open 12 is opened in the tear 14, so that the cover sheet 10 can be opened.
- FIG. 3 It is shown how the cover sheet 10 is torn in the middle along the tear-open aid 12 no longer shown and one of the two bottom flaps 16, which are formed integrally with the wall 2, has been opened.
- a support member 18 can be seen, the view of the contents 22, which is located inside the bag 1, denied.
- the carrier element 18 extends as an inner bar over the entire opening of the first bottom 6 of the bag 1, so that emptying of the bag 1 in this state is not possible or very difficult.
- a Nutzelement 20 is shown by dashed lines, which is not yet accessible in the state shown.
- the support member 18 is arranged, which has already been deployed twice, as the schematically illustrated folding lines 24 can be seen.
- the Nutzelement 20 is now also accessible and usable. Due to the movement of the carrier element 18, which consists in this case of an extraction from the opening and a deployment or unfolding, on the one hand emptying of the bag 1 is possible or easier and at the same time the user element 20 has become accessible and usable.
- the useful element 20 can be, for example, an RFID chip or a paper, coated or uncoated. Of course, other objects and elements as useful element 20 are conceivable.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sack mit einer Wandung, die einen Sackinnenraum umgibt, und einem ersten Boden, an dessen dem Sackinnenraum abgewandten Seite ein Deckblatt angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a bag with a wall which surrounds a bag interior, and a first floor, on whose side facing away from the bag interior a cover sheet is arranged.
Ein derartiger Sack ist beispielsweise als Papiersack ausgebildet und aus dem Stand der Technik seit langem bekannt. Ein gattungsgemäßer Sack ist beispielsweise aus der
Ein Sack gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 kommt üblicherweise in Form eines Ventilsackes, eines offenen Kreuzbodensackes oder eines Blockbodensackes zum Einsatz und wird hauptsächlich als Verpackung für schüttfähige Güter verwendet. Natürlich sind auch andere Ausgestaltungen und andere Materialien für die Verwendung bei derartigen Säcken bekannt.A bag according to the preamble of
Das Hauptaugenmerk bei der Konstruktion entsprechender Säcke liegt in der Regel auf einer möglichst guten, das bedeutet insbesondere trockenen, Lagerung des zu transportierenden Füllgutes. Zudem sollte ein Sack leicht und vorteilhafterweise maschinell zu öffnen und gut und schnell zu entleeren sein. Die Beschriftung des Sackes erfolgt in der Regel auf der Wandung des Sackes, die in der Regel direkt bedruckt wird. Die Beschriftung befasst sich dabei in der Regel mit dem Inhalt des jeweiligen Sackes und gegebenenfalls dessen Hersteller sowie mit eventuellen Verbrauchs-, Haltbarkeits- oder Warnhinweisen.The main focus in the construction of appropriate bags is usually on the best possible, that means in particular dry, storage of the transported cargo. In addition, a sack should be easy and advantageously to open mechanically and to empty well and quickly. The labeling of the bag is usually on the wall of the bag, which is usually printed directly. The inscription generally deals with the contents of the respective bag and, where appropriate, its manufacturer as well as any consumption, durability or warning information.
Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass insbesondere für Produkte, die in Säcken international versandt werden, insbesondere Warnhinweise vorteilhafterweise in unterschiedlichen Sprachen auf den Sack aufgebracht werden sollten. Da es aus wirtschaftlicher Sicht nicht sinnvoll möglich ist, für unterschiedliche Chargen, die in unterschiedliche Länder geliefert werden, verschiedene Säcke vorzusehen oder bei der Bedruckung und Befüllung der Säcke noch nicht klar ist, für welches Land die Säcke vorgesehen sind, ist in der
Es hat sich zudem als wünschenswert herausgestellt, wenn beispielsweise bestimmte Chargen oder Einzelstücke von Säcken über ihren gesamten Verwendungszyklus hinweg verfolgt werden können. Dazu wäre es wünschenswert, beispielsweise RFID-Chips oder andere identifizierende Elemente in einzelne der Säcke einbringen zu können. Dies hat jedoch zur Folge, dass in einzelnen Chargen von zu befüllenen Säcken einzelne Säcke ausgetauscht oder in zusätzlichen Verfahrens- und Produktionsschritten den gewünschten Anforderungen entsprechend ausgerüstet zu werden.It has also been found to be desirable, for example, to be able to track particular batches or individual pieces of bags throughout their use cycle. For this purpose, it would be desirable, for example, to be able to introduce RFID chips or other identifying elements into individual sacks. However, this has the consequence that in individual batches of bags to be filled individual bags exchanged or to be equipped in additional process and production steps the desired requirements accordingly.
Als absatzfördernde Maßnahme hat es sich zudem bewährt, einzelne Verpackungen eines Produktes von außen unsichtbar zu verändern, um beispielsweise ein Gewinnspiel durchführen zu können. Der Kunde, der eine entsprechend veränderte Verpackung erwirbt und sich beispielsweise beim Hersteller des verpackten Produktes meldet, kann an einem Gewinnspiel teilnehmen oder bereits einen Preis gewonnen haben.As a sales promotion measure, it has also proven to change individual packaging of a product from the outside invisibly, for example, to be able to perform a competition. The customer, who acquires a correspondingly modified packaging and, for example, reports to the manufacturer of the packaged product, can take part in a raffle or have already won a prize.
Natürlich ist es bei all diesen Aufgabenstellungen möglich, einzelne Säcke auf entsprechende Weise zu präparieren und beispielsweise in einem separaten Fertigungsverfahren herzustellen. Diese Säcke werden anschließend unter die auf herkömmliche Weise hergestellten Säcke gemischt und mit diesen gemeinsam zur Befüllung verwendet. Dies ist jedoch aufwendig und kostenintensiv, da gegebenenfalls unterschiedliche Produktionsstraßen verwendet werden müssen oder eine Produktionsstraße umgerüstet werden muss. Zudem müssen insbesondere für Säcke, die in unterschiedlichen Sprachen bedruckt werden, unterschiedliche Säcke vorgehalten und gelagert werden. Auch dies erhöht den Kosten- und den Lageraufwand. Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgemäßen Sack so zu verbessern, dass die beschriebenen Nachteile behoben oder zumindest stark vermindert werden.Of course, in all these tasks it is possible to prepare individual bags in a corresponding manner and to produce, for example, in a separate manufacturing process. These bags are then mixed under the conventionally made bags and used together with them for filling. However, this is expensive and costly because possibly different production lines must be used or a production line must be converted. In addition, especially for bags that are printed in different languages, different bags must be kept and stored. This also increases the cost and storage costs. The invention is therefore based on the object to improve a generic bag so that the disadvantages described are eliminated or at least greatly reduced.
Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe durch einen Sack mit einer Wandung, die einen Sackinnenraum umgibt, und einem ersten Boden, an dessen dem Sackinnenraum abgewandten Seite ein Deckblatt angeordnet ist, und der sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass an dem ersten Boden ein Trägerelement für ein Nutzelement derart angeordnet ist, dass es sich relativ zu dem Deckblatt innen befindet und nach dem Öffnen des Deckblattes derart bewegbar ist, dass ein Entleeren des Sackes erleichtert und das Nutzelement zugänglich wird, wobei das Trägerelement (18) nicht über seinen gesamten Umfang mit dem Rest des Sackes verbunden ist.The invention solves this problem by a bag with a wall surrounding a bag interior, and a first floor, on whose side facing away from the bag interior a cover sheet is arranged, and which is characterized in that at the first bottom a support member for a Nutzelement is arranged so that it is located inside relative to the cover sheet and after opening of the cover sheet is movable so that an emptying of the bag facilitates and the Nutzelement becomes accessible, wherein the support element (18) over its entire circumference with the rest of the Sackes is connected.
Erfindungsgemäß ist das Trägerelement relativ zum Deckblatt innen angeordnet. Dies bedeutet, dass es dem Sackinnenraum näher als das Deckblatt ist und vorteilhafterweise von diesem Deckblatt zumindest teilweise abgedeckt ist. Das Trägerelement ist also bei einem verschlossenen befüllten Sack von außen nicht erkennbar angeordnet. Zum Öffnen und Entleeren des Sackes wird in der Regel das Deckblatt geöffnet und insbesondere aufgerissen. Dazu können Aufreißhilfen in Form von beispielsweise Aufreißlaschen vorhanden sein, die ein Aufreißen des Deckblattes erleichtern und ermöglichen. Sobald das Deckblatt aufgerissen ist, wird vorzugsweise das Trägerelement sichtbar und kann nun so bewegt werden, dass einerseits das Entleeren des Sackes erleichtert wird und das Nutzelement zugänglich wird. In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist das Trägerelement beispielsweise so angeordnet, dass es die Öffnung, die durch das Aufreißen oder Öffnen des Deckblattes entsteht, zumindest teilweise abdeckt, so dass auf diese Weise gleichzeitig gewährleistet wird, dass keine oder nur sehr wenig Elemente oder Bauteile des Deckblattes in das Füllgut im Innern des Sackes hineinrieseln können. Erst durch das Bewegen des Trägerelementes aus dieser bevorzugten Position wird das Entleeren des Sackes erleichtert, da die durch das Aufreißen des Deckblattes entstandene Öffnung im Sack nicht mehr durch das Trägerelement abgedeckt wird. Durch die gleiche oder eine zweite Bewegung des Trägerelementes wird das Nutzelement zugänglich und kann verwendet werden.According to the invention, the carrier element is arranged relative to the cover sheet inside. This means that it is closer to the bag interior than the cover sheet and is advantageously at least partially covered by this cover sheet. The carrier element is therefore not arranged recognizable from the outside in a closed filled bag. To open and empty the bag, the cover sheet is opened and in particular torn open in the rule. For this purpose, tear-off aids in the form of, for example, tear-open tabs may be present, which facilitate and facilitate tearing of the cover sheet. As soon as the cover sheet is torn open, the carrier element is preferably visible and can now be moved in such a way that on the one hand the emptying of the bag is facilitated and the useful element becomes accessible. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the carrier element For example, arranged so that it at least partially covers the opening caused by the tearing or opening of the cover sheet, so that at the same time ensures that no or very few elements or components of the cover sheet in the contents inside the bag can trickle in. Only by moving the carrier element from this preferred position, the emptying of the bag is facilitated because the resulting from the tearing of the cover sheet opening in the bag is no longer covered by the support member. By the same or a second movement of the carrier element, the useful element is accessible and can be used.
Vorteilhafterweise ist das Trägerelement ein Innenriegel. Innenriegel sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt und werden auf die Innenseite des jeweiligen Bodens geklebt, um die Standfestigkeit und Stabilität eines Papiersackes zu erhöhen. Aus der bereits genannten
Vorteilhafterweise ist das Nutzelement zumindest auch eine Bedruckung, die auf das Trägerelement aufgebracht ist. Das Nutzelement ist folglich nicht zwangsläufig ein separates Bauteil, sondern kann beispielsweise auch in einer Bedruckung, also beispielsweise wenigstens einer aufgebrachten Farbschicht, bestehen. In diesem Fall können beispielsweise Warn-, Verbrauchs- oder Haltbarkeitshinweise aber auch Informationen über eventuelle Gewinnspiele oder Lotterien oder sonstige Informationen direkt auf das Trägerelement aufgedruckt sein. Dies muss nicht bei allen verwendeten Säcken der Fall sein oder kann bei unterschiedlichen Säcken beispielsweise in unterschiedlichen Sprachen geschehen. Da jedoch alle Säcke über ein derartiges Trägerelement verfügen, ist es möglich, unterschiedlich konfigurierte Säcke, beispielsweise mit Beschriftungen in unterschiedlichen Sprachen, einfach herzustellen, ohne dass Produktionslinien umgerüstet oder verschiedene Sackkonfigurationen vorgehalten werden müssten. Wie insbesondere bei der oben beschriebenen Verwendung des Sackes als "Teilnahmelos" in einer Lotterie hat diese Ausgestaltung zudem den Vorteil, dass von außen nicht erkennbar ist, in welcher Form das Nutzelement ausgebildet ist, so dass die Säcke von außen ununterscheidbar ausgebildet werden können.Advantageously, the useful element is at least one print, which is applied to the carrier element. The useful element is therefore not necessarily a separate component, but may, for example, in a printing, so for example, at least one applied ink layer exist. In this case, for example, warning, consumption or durability information but also information be printed on any possible competitions or lotteries or other information directly on the support element. This does not have to be the case with all sacks used or can occur with different sacks, for example in different languages. However, since all bags have such a carrier element, it is possible to easily produce differently configured bags, for example with labels in different languages, without the need to retrofit production lines or to provide different bag configurations. As in particular in the above-described use of the bag as "participation in a lottery, this embodiment also has the advantage that it is not recognizable from the outside, in which form the Nutzelement is formed, so that the bags can be formed from the outside indistinguishable.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist das Nutzelement wenigstens auch ein bedrucktes Papier, das vorzugsweise beschichtet oder in eine Schutzhülle gehüllt und an dem Trägerelement befestigt ist. Alternativ oder zusätzlich zu einer Bedruckung des Trägerelementes kann auf diese Weise auch ein separates bedrucktes Papier, beispielsweise in Form eines gegebenenfalls gefalteten oder ungefalteten Blattes oder eines Heftes oder einer Broschüre beigelegt werden. Wird dieses beispielsweise in eine Schutzhülle beispielsweise aus einer Kunststofffolie eingehüllt, kann es weder zu einer Verunreinigung des Nutzelementes durch das im Sack befindliche Füllmaterial noch zu einer Verunreinigung des Füllmaterials aufgrund des Nutzelementes kommen.In a preferred embodiment, the useful element is at least one printed paper, which is preferably coated or wrapped in a protective cover and fixed to the support element. Alternatively or in addition to a printing of the carrier element, a separate printed paper, for example in the form of an optionally folded or unfolded sheet or a booklet or a booklet can be enclosed in this way. If this, for example, wrapped in a protective cover, for example, from a plastic film, it can lead to contamination of the Nutzelementes by the filler material located in the bag nor to contamination of the filler due to the Nutzelementes.
Das Trägerelement kann eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Materialien aufweisen beziehungsweise aus diesen bestehen. So können Papierelemente verwendet werden, bei denen Papiertypen wie sie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt sind, Papierbeschichtungen oder ein Papierverbund mit oder ohne Aluminium verwendet werden. Auch ein Karton kann als Trägerelement benutzt werden. Das Trägerelement ist jedoch nicht auf Papier oder Kartonprodukte beschränkt. Auch Kunststofffolien wie beispielsweise eine wasserlösliche Folie, ein Folienverbund mit oder ohne Aluminium, oder sonstige Kunststoffe können verwendet werden. Auch Gewebe aus Kunststoff oder Glas, ein Spinnflies, Leder oder sonstige Papiere oder Kartonagen sind verwendbar. Vorteilhafterweise sind die verwendeten Materialien für das Trägerelement biologisch abbaubar und/oder recyclingfähig. Dies beinhaltet unter anderem auch starre oder flexible Kunststoffe, Metall oder Holzbauteile sowie Kombinationsmöglichkeiten der hier genannten Materialien.The carrier element may comprise or consist of a plurality of different materials. Thus, paper elements can be used which use paper types known from the prior art, paper coatings or a paper composite with or without aluminum. A cardboard can also be used as a carrier element. However, the carrier element is not limited to paper or paperboard products. Also plastic films such as a water-soluble film, a film composite with or without aluminum, or other plastics can be used. Also plastic or glass fabrics, a spun fleece, leather or other papers or cardboard can be used. Advantageously, the materials used for the carrier element biodegradable and / or recyclable. This includes, among other things, rigid or flexible plastics, metal or wood components as well as combinations of the materials mentioned here.
All diese Materialien können auch für das Nutzelement verwendet werden, wobei es nicht notwendig ist aber sinnvoll sein kann, dass Nutzelement und Trägerelement aus dem gleichen Material bestehen.All of these materials can also be used for the useful element, wherein it is not necessary but may be useful that useful element and support member made of the same material.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung befindet sich das Trägerelement an der Innenseite des Bodens und kann somit direkt mit dem Füllmaterial oder Füllgut in Kontakt kommen. Durch diese Art der Konstruktion wird erreicht, dass das Trägerelement und das Nutzelement vor äußeren Einflüssen gut geschützt sind und dennoch leicht zugänglich ausgebildet werden.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the carrier element is located on the inside of the bottom and can thus come into direct contact with the filling material or filling material. This type of construction ensures that the carrier element and the useful element are well protected from external influences and yet be made easily accessible.
Vorzugsweise ist das Nutzelement zumindest auch ein Gegenstand, der an dem Trägerelement angeordnet ist. Das Nutzelement kann vorteilhafterweise eine RFID-Chip sein. Damit ist es möglich, Transportwege, Lager- und Verwendungszeiten eines Sackes über seine gesamte Verwendungsdauer hinweg nachzuverfolgen. Als Gegenstände können beispielsweise auch Chipkarten, Schlüsselanhänger oder sonstige Gegenstände verwendet werden, die beispielsweise für Lotterie- oder Gewinnspiele oder zur Datenerhebung verwendet werden können.Preferably, the useful element is at least also an object which is arranged on the carrier element. The useful element can advantageously be an RFID chip. This makes it possible to track transport routes, storage and usage times of a bag over its entire period of use. As objects, for example, chip cards, key fobs or other objects can be used, which can be used for example for lotteries or sweepstakes or for data collection.
Als besonders vorteilhaft hat sich herausgestellt, wenn das Trägerelement wenigstens einmal entfaltet oder entrollt werden muss, damit das Nutzelement zugänglich wird. Auf diese Weise wird das Nutzelement nahezu voll umfänglich vom Trägerelement umgeben und von diesen geschützt, so dass es beispielsweise nicht direkt mit dem Füllgut im Innern des Sackes in Berührung kommt. Dies kann sowohl unter dem Aspekt von Vorteil sein, eine Verschmutzung des Füllgutes zu vermeiden, als auch unter dem Aspekt, eine Funktionsweise eines gegebenenfalls elektronischen Gegenstands, der als Nutzelement verwendet wird, zu gewährleisten. Durch ein gerolltes oder gefaltetes Trägerelement kann insbesondere für den Fall, dass das Nutzelement zumindest auch aus einer Bedruckung auf dem Trägerelement besteht, der zum Bedrucken zur Verfügung stehende Raum stark vergrößert werden, so dass eine Vielzahl von Informationen für den Verwender des Sackes leicht zugänglich und vor äußeren Einflüssen gut geschützt übertragen werden kann.It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the carrier element has to be unfolded or unrolled at least once so that the useful element is accessible. In this way, the useful element is almost completely surrounded by the support element and protected by it, so that it does not come into contact, for example, directly with the contents inside the bag. This can be advantageous both from the point of view of avoiding soiling of the filling material and from the point of view of ensuring the functioning of an optionally electronic article which is used as a useful element. By a rolled or folded carrier element, in particular for the case that the useful element consists at least of a printing on the carrier element, the space available for printing can be greatly increased, so that a variety of information for the user of the bag easily accessible and well protected from external influences can be transmitted.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung sind das Trägerelement und das Nutzelement gemeinsam in einer Schutzhülle eingehüllt, wobei dies vorzugsweise eine Folie ist, in die das Trägerelement und das Nutzelement eingeschweißt sind.In an advantageous embodiment, the carrier element and the useful element are wrapped together in a protective cover, wherein this is preferably a film, in which the carrier element and the Nutzelement are welded.
Vorzugsweise ist das Trägerelement an einer Bodenklappe des ersten Bodens befestigt, vorzugsweise angeklebt oder angeschweißt, die einstückig mit der Wandung ausgebildet ist. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung sind keine zusätzlichen Bauteile für den Sack nötig, so dass auch ein bestehender Sack beziehungsweise eine bestehende Produktionsstraße für herkömmliche Säcke leicht nach- beziehungsweise umgerüstet werden kann. Papiersäcke und Papierventilsäcke besitzen in der Regel wenigstens einen Boden, der zumindest teilweise aus Bodenklappen gebildet wird, die Teil der Wandung des Sackes sind.Preferably, the support member is attached to a bottom flap of the first floor, preferably glued or welded, which is integrally formed with the wall. In this embodiment, no additional components for the bag are needed, so that even an existing bag or an existing production line for conventional bags can be easily nach- or retrofitted. Paper bags and paper valve bags usually have at least one bottom, which is at least partially formed of bottom flaps, which are part of the wall of the bag.
Vorzugsweise ist der Boden ein Ventilboden und/oder ein Gegenboden. Ein Ventilboden ist dabei ein Boden in einem Sack, der mit einem zusätzlichen Ventil ausgestattet ist, welches es ermöglicht, das Gebinde über eine hierfür geeignete Füllanlage zu befüllen. Im Anschluss an das Befüllen ist der Sack selbstschließend oder wird in Verbindung mit einer thermischen Verschlusseinheit verschlossen. Das erfindungsgemäße Trägerelement und das darin angeordnete Nutzelement können sowohl am Ventilboden als auch am Gegenboden eines derartigen Sackes angeordnet werden.Preferably, the bottom is a valve bottom and / or a counter bottom. A valve bottom is a bottom in a bag, which is equipped with an additional valve, which makes it possible to fill the container via a suitable filling system. After filling, the bag is self-closing or is closed in conjunction with a thermal closing unit. The carrier element according to the invention and the useful element arranged therein can be arranged both on the valve bottom and on the counter bottom of such a bag.
