Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an article with a Braille display provided with a Braille display for blind persons indicating information to be made known to customers, mainly for use in displaying and selling the article at stores.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when an article is displayed and sold at a store, information to be made known to a customer is printed and displayed by describing characters and numerals, and the information is provided for the convenience of the customer. For example, information is printed and displayed directly on the surface of the product, or information is printed and displayed on a tag or a label attached to the product. In addition, in the case of an article of a product package in which a product is packaged, items related to the product, which is the content of the article, are printed and displayed on the surface of the bag. A packaging bag forming such a product package is, for example, a shape-retaining sheet made of a thick synthetic resin sheet in at least a part of at least one of the front and back films made of a synthetic resin sandwiched between the article storage chambers. It is publicly known that polymerized and fixed is used, and a shape-retaining sheet is used to form a header portion that allows a bag body to be suspended and displayed, or a shape-retaining sheet is used to shape an article storage room to freely deform the front and back films. It has a mount function to prevent it.

[0003]

Although the welfare of the handicapped has been discussed for a long time, it is still difficult to say that retailers are sufficiently concerned about the handicapped. In other words, not only the information directly displayed on the surface of the product (product), but also the product such as a tag hung on the product or a label attached thereto, all necessary information is printed and displayed only so as to be visible to the naked eye. Have been. In particular, in a product package in which a product is packaged in a bag, it is difficult to know items related to the product from the outside of the bag only by tactile sense, and descriptive characters printed on the bag,
It is necessary to visually check the packaged goods from the transparent part of the bag with the naked eye, and there is a problem that attention to blind people is lacking.

[0004] In this regard, the present inventor has conceived of separately preparing, for example, a display tape expressing a description in Braille and bonding such a display tape to a product. Further research was needed.

[0005] In addition, as far as the product packaging is concerned, if the display tape is manually adhered to the surface of the bag, a great deal of labor is required, and the cost of the product may be increased. If the person is not a person who can read Braille, there is a risk of erroneous operation of sticking a display tape representing different contents, which causes confusion.

[0006] By the way, usually, a product packaging bag is made at the request of a product supplier such as a product maker or the like, and a specific product is packaged in a specific packaging bag. In order to do so, it is possible to provide Braille marks on the bags to be manufactured in the bag making process. For example, in the case of a packaging bag using dry batteries as a product, information on the product is specified at the time of bag making, such as the name of the manufacturer, as well as whether the bag is for AA batteries or AAA batteries. Therefore, the specified item can be displayed on the bag at the time of bag making.

However, if a member other than the constituent material of the bag is required, such as the above-mentioned display tape,
There is a problem that it is not compatible with the bag manufacturing industry, which is required to severely reduce costs.

[0008]

(Embodiment of Commodity Package Article) FIGS. 2 to 8 relate to an article of a commodity package body, an embodiment in which the article is provided with Braille display, and an article in which such a Braille display is provided (commodity). 2 shows an embodiment of a method for manufacturing a package.

(First Embodiment of Commodity Package) In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the bag 1 is made of synthetic resin front and back films 3, 4 which are polymerized with the article storage chamber 2 interposed therebetween.
In the case of the illustrated example, the front and back films 3 and 4 are formed by folding a single film at the top of the bag body 1 and polymerizing it in a substantially half-folded manner. By interposing a shape retaining sheet 5 made of a thick synthetic resin sheet such as synthetic paper between the films 3 and 4,
The header part 6 is formed. The front and back films 3, 4
The compartment seal portion 7 is formed by being welded to each other immediately below the shape-retaining sheet 5, or by being welded in a sandwich shape (not shown) with the lower edge of the shape-retaining sheet 5 interposed therebetween. Side seal portions 8 are formed along both side edges. The side seal portions 8, 8 are formed by fusing and welding with a hot blade. Therefore, on both side edges of the header portion 6, the front and back films 3, 4 are welded in a sandwich shape with the shape retaining sheet 5 interposed therebetween, and the article storage chamber is formed. On both side edges of 2, the front and back films 3, 4 are welded to each other. still,
Hanging means 9 such as a through hole or a hook-shaped notch is formed in the header portion 6. In addition, a sealing piece 10 extending from one of the films is formed in an opening at a lower portion of the bag body 1, and the sealing piece 10 is provided with sealing means 11 such as an adhesive tape.

Therefore, in the header section 6, the three of the shape-retaining sheet 5 and the front and back films 3, 4 polymerized with the shape-retaining sheet 5 interposed therebetween are moved from one film 4 side to the other film 3 side. A group of projections formed integrally with each other by pressing is formed to form a Braille display 12 representing items related to the product packaged in the bag 1. That is, the projections 13 constituting the Braille display 12 are projected on the surface of the bag body 1 (in the illustrated example, the surface of the front film 3) by pressing the front and back films 3, 4 and the shape retaining sheet 5 integrally, The arrangement of the projection group 13 describes items related to the product as the Braille display 12.
Such a Braille display 12 has a male mold provided with a convex portion for forming a group of projections facing one film 4 and a female mold provided with a concave portion corresponding to the convex portion formed on the other film 3. In the face-to-face state, press molding is performed by pinching with a press using an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. In the case of a cold press, the pressing pressure is increased, and each projection 13 is embossed, and the front and back films 3 and 4 and the shape retaining sheet 5 are integrally locked by the projection 13. When hot pressing is performed while heating by incorporating a heater in the male mold and / or the female mold, the pressing pressure may be relatively weak, and each of the projections 13 may be embossed while being heated. Front and back films 3, 4
And the shape retaining sheet 5 are integrally welded to each other.

As shown in FIG. 3, the front and back films 3 and 4, which are half-fold polymerized, and the shape-retaining sheet 5 interposed in the half-fold portion of the front and back films, are continuous in a strip shape. After intermittently moving in the longitudinal direction of the band (the direction of arrow F in the drawing), the above-described partition seal portion 7 is formed, and then the hanging portion 9 is formed in the header portion 6, whereby the semi-finished bag product 14 which is continuous in a band shape is formed. (A semi-finished product forming step). Thereafter, the band-shaped semi-finished product 14 is cut by fusing or the like in the band width direction to form a single bag 1 and the bag 1 is separated from the semi-finished bag 14 (cutting step). The side seal portions 8 are formed by welding both side edges of the bag 1 simultaneously with the fusing.

Therefore, in the semi-finished product forming step before the dividing step, the projection group 13 is formed on the overlapping portion of the front and back films 3 and 4 and the shape retaining sheet 5 by press-bonding with the male mold 15 and the female mold 16. This pressing step is performed by using
Prior to the operation, the front and back films 3, 4 and the shape-retaining sheet 5 are locked or welded to each other and thereby positioned with respect to each other. There is an advantage that the front and back films 3 and 4 and the shape retaining sheet 5 do not displace from each other even when an external force is applied when forming 9. In addition, even when the pressing step is performed after the partition seal portion 7 and / or the suspending means 9 are performed, the front and back films 3 and 4 before the side seal portion 8 is formed are not covered with the shape retaining sheet 5 at the folded portion. If the front and back films 3 and 4 and the shape-retaining sheet 5 are locked or welded to each other by forming the projection group 13, the front and back films 3 and 4 can be removed in the subsequent dividing step. Does not move, so that the side seal portions 8, 8 located in the header portion 6 can be beautifully finished, which is advantageous.

(Second Embodiment of Commodity Package) In the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the bag 1 is made of a synthetic resin front and back film 3 polymerized with the article storage chamber 2 interposed therebetween.
In the case of the illustrated example, the front and back films 3 and 4 are formed by folding a single film at the bottom of the bag body 1 and polymerizing it in a substantially half-folded manner. A gusset portion 3a is formed by bending the cross-section toward a substantially V-shaped section 2 and a shape-retaining sheet 5a made of a thick synthetic resin sheet such as synthetic paper is attached along the entire inner surface of the front film 3. By setting
The shape retaining part 6a is formed. The shape-retaining sheet 5a and the front film 3 are mutually weld-sealed 7a at the upper edge of the shape-retaining portion 6a.

The back film 4 is folded at the top of the bag 1 to form front and back header film portions 4a and 4b facing each other, and a thick synthetic material such as synthetic paper is provided between the front and back film portions 4a and 4b. The header portion 6b is formed by interposing a shape retaining sheet 5b made of a resin sheet. The front and back header film portions 4a and 4b are respectively welded and sealed 7b and 7c near the lower edge of the shape retaining sheet 5b, and the sealing film portion 4c extends downward from the front header film portion 4a. Therefore, the aforementioned shape retaining part 6a
The opening 2a of the article storage chamber 2 formed between the upper end of the container and the header 6b is openable and closable by a sealing film portion 4c. A sealing means 11 made of an adhesive tape or the like covered with a film is provided.

In such a configuration, the bag body 1 has side seal portions 8, 8 formed along both side edges as described later. The side seal portions 8, 8 are formed by fusing and welding with a hot blade. Therefore, on both side edges of the header portion 6b, the front and back header film portions 4a, 4b are welded in a sandwich shape with the shape-retaining sheet 5b interposed therebetween. On both side edges of the storage room 2, the front and back films 3 and 4 are welded in a sandwich shape with the shape retaining sheet 5a interposed therebetween.
In addition, hanging means 9 such as a through hole or a hook-shaped notch is formed in the header portion 6b.

Therefore, in the shape-retaining portion 6a, the shape-retaining sheet 5a and the surface film 3 which are superimposed on each other form a group of protrusions which are integrally press-formed from the shape-retaining sheet 5a side to the surface film 3 side. In addition, a braille display 12 representing items related to the product packed in the bag 1 is configured. That is, the projections 13 constituting the Braille display 12 are projected on the surface of the bag 1 (the surface of the front film 3 in the illustrated example) by pressing the shape-retaining sheet 5a and the front film 3 integrally, and the projection group is formed. An array of 13 describes items related to the product as Braille display 12. Such a Braille display 12 is used in a bag semi-finished product forming step to be described later, in which a male mold provided with a convex portion for forming a projection group faces the shape retaining sheet 5a, and a concave portion corresponding to the convex portion is formed. In a state where the provided female die faces the front film 3, pressing is performed by pressing with a press using an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder or the like. In the case of a cold press, the pressing pressure is increased to emboss each projection 13, and the projection 13 causes both the shape retaining sheet 5 a and the front film 3 to be integrally locked. When hot pressing is performed while heating by incorporating a heater in the male mold and / or the female mold, the pressing pressure may be relatively low, and the embossing may be performed while heating each projection 13.
The projections 13 integrally weld the shape retaining sheet 5a and the front film 3 to each other.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show a bag manufacturing method for a bag according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, one strip-shaped film with the front and back films 3 and 4 developed is continuously fed and transferred. During this transfer, the shape retaining sheet 5a is polymerized on the front film 3. The back film 4 is folded back and forth to form the front and back header film portions 4a, 4a.
b is formed and the shape retaining sheet 5b is interposed. At this time, the front film 3 is subjected to the above-mentioned welding seal 7a on the shape-retaining sheet 5a (a shape-retaining portion forming step), and the front and back header films 4a, 4b are respectively subjected to the above-mentioned welding seal on the shape-retaining sheet 5b. 7b and 7c are applied (header forming step).

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the front and back films 3 and 4 are folded in a substantially half-folded shape and polymerized (half-folding step). At this time, a gusset portion 3a is formed in the half-folded portion ( A gusset forming step), and a bag semi-finished product 14 which is continuous in a band shape is formed by the above-described steps (semi-finished product forming step). The header 6
The hanging means 9 for b may be formed at the same time in the above-described header portion forming step, or may be formed after the semi-finished bag 14 is formed. Then, after the semi-finished product forming step, the semi-finished band-shaped bag semi-finished product 14 which is intermittently transported in the longitudinal direction of the belt (in the direction of arrow F in the drawing) is cut off by fusing or the like in the width direction of the belt. And the bag 1 is separated from the bag semi-finished product 14 (separation step), and the side seals 8 are formed by welding both side edges of the bag 1 simultaneously with this fusing.

Therefore, in the semi-finished product forming step before the dividing step, the same male and female molds as in the first embodiment described above are applied to the overlapping portion of the front film 3 and the shape retaining sheet 5a constituting the shape retaining portion 6a. The protrusion group 13 is formed by press-compression. If this pressing step is performed prior to the execution of the welding seal 7a, the front film 3 and the shape retaining sheet 5a are locked or welded to each other and thereby positioned with each other. Seal 7a
There is an advantage that the front film 3 and the shape retaining sheet 5a are not displaced from each other even if an external force is applied when forming the film. Further, even when the pressing step is performed after the welding seal 7a is performed, in the subsequent half-folding step including the gusset forming step, when the shape retaining portion 6a provided with the welding seal 7a only at the edge is bent, Since the front film 3 and the shape retaining sheet 5a, which are easily displaced, are locked or welded even at the projection group 13, it is advantageous in that bending can be performed in a stable state where displacement is prevented. Further, since the shape retaining sheet 5a before the side seal portion 8 is formed can freely move with respect to the front film 3 in the vicinity of the gusset portion 3a, the front film 3 is formed by forming the projection group 13. And the shape retaining sheet 5a are locked or welded to each other, so that the shape retaining sheet 5
Since a does not float, there is an advantage that the finishing of the side seal portions 8 located at the gusset portion 3a can be performed beautifully.

(Third Embodiment of Commodity Package) In the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the bag 1 is made of synthetic resin front and back films 3, 4 sandwiched between the article storage chambers 2.
In the case of the illustrated example, the front and back films 3 and 4 are formed by folding a single film on one side of the bag body 1 and polymerizing it in a substantially half-folded manner. Are bent into a substantially V-shaped cross section toward the article storage room 2 to form side gusset portions 3b, 3b. A shape-retaining sheet 5c made of a thick synthetic resin sheet such as synthetic paper is attached to the entire inner surface of the front film 3, thereby forming a shape-retaining portion 6c. On the upper part of the bag 1, a header portion 6d composed of a laminate of the front and back films 3, 4 and the shape retaining sheet 5c is formed, and the front and back films 3, 4 are located at the top edge of the header portion 6d. Are sealed by welding and the front and back films 3 and 4 are located at the lower end of the header portion 6d and welded across the shape-retaining sheet 5c.
e, 7f are formed. The shape-retaining sheet 5c is welded on both sides to the front film 3 with a seal 7g, and the weld seal 7g is formed over the entire length of the bag 1 including the article storage chamber 2 and the header 6d. A hanging means 9 is formed in the header portion 6d, and a lower portion of the bag body 1 is opened, and a sealing tape (not shown) for opening and closing the opening portion is provided.

Therefore, in the shape-retaining portion 6c located in the article storage room 2, the shape-retained sheet 5c and the front film 3 which have been superimposed on each other are integrally pressed from the shape-retaining sheet 5c side toward the front film 3 side. Forming a group of projections, the bag 1
And a Braille display 12 representing items related to the product to be packaged. That is, the projections 13 constituting the Braille display 12
Is projected on the surface of the bag body 1 (in the illustrated example, the surface of the front film 3) by pressing the shape-retaining sheet 5c and the front film 3 integrally. Describe the matter. Such a Braille display 12 has a male mold provided with a convex portion for forming a group of projections facing the shape retaining sheet 5c and a concave portion corresponding to the convex portion in a bag semi-finished product forming step described later. In a state where the provided female mold faces the front film 3, the female mold is pressed by a press using an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder or the like. In the case of a cold press, the pressing pressure is increased, and each projection 13 is embossed.
As a result, both the shape retaining sheet 5c and the front film 3 are integrally locked. When hot pressing is performed while heating by incorporating a heater in the male mold and / or the female mold, the pressing pressure may be relatively low, and each of the projections 13 may be embossed while being heated. With shape retention sheet 5
c and the front film 3 are integrally welded to each other.

FIG. 8 shows a bag making method for a bag according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG.
One strip-shaped film with 4 being unfolded is continuously fed and transferred. That is, although not shown, the strip film is continuous in the transport direction F. During this transfer, the shape retaining sheet 5c is polymerized on the front film 3. At this time, the shape retaining sheet 5
The above-mentioned welding seals 7g, 7g for welding the front film 3 and the shape retaining sheet 5c are provided at both side edges of the shape c (the shape retaining portion forming step). Note that the side edge of the front film 3 is the shape retaining sheet 5.
A margin 3B protruding from c is formed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8 (B), the back film 4 is polymerized in a half-fold manner on the front film 3 and the shape retaining sheet 5c. At this time, one side gusset part 3b is formed in the half-fold part. At the same time, by bending the margin 3B of the front film 3, the other side gusset 3
In the state where b is formed and the side edges of the front and back films 3 and 4 are aligned, the belt is moved in the longitudinal direction of the band (transferred in the direction of arrow F in the drawing). During this transfer, the aligned front and back films 3, 4
Is blown off by the fusing blade 17, whereby a tube body 14a having the side gusset portions 3b, 3b is obtained (tube body forming step).

Thereafter, while intermittently transporting the tube body 14a in the longitudinal direction, the tube body 14a is welded in the band width direction under a predetermined longitudinal dimension to perform the above-described partition seal portions 7e and 7f, thereby providing the header portion. 6d (header part forming step), and further, hanging means 9 is formed on the header part 6d, and a semi-finished bag-like semi-finished product 14 having a header part 6d on the tube body 14a is formed by the above steps. (A semi-finished product forming step).

Then, after the semi-finished product forming step, the semi-finished band-shaped bag semi-finished product 14 which is intermittently transferred in the longitudinal direction of the belt (in the direction of arrow F in the drawing) is blown and cut in the width direction of the band, thereby forming the above-mentioned welding seal. 7d, the bag 1 is formed for each sheet, the bag 1 is separated from the semi-finished bag 14 (separation step), and the lower end of the bag 1 is cut in the width direction to open the bag. To form

Therefore, in the semi-finished product forming process before the dividing process, in the shape retaining portion forming process of applying the welding seals 7g, 7g, the overlapping portion of the front film 3 and the shape retaining sheet 5c is

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an article with a Braille display provided with a Braille display for blind persons indicating information to be made known to customers, mainly for use in displaying and selling the article at stores.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when an article is displayed and sold at a store, information to be made known to a customer is printed and displayed by describing characters and numerals, and the information is provided for the convenience of the customer. For example, information is printed and displayed directly on the surface of the product, or information is printed and displayed on a tag or a label attached to the product. In addition, in the case of an article of a product package in which a product is packaged, items related to the product, which is the content of the article, are printed and displayed on the surface of the bag. A packaging bag forming such a product package is, for example, a shape-retaining sheet made of a thick synthetic resin sheet in at least a part of at least one of the front and back films made of a synthetic resin sandwiched between the article storage chambers. It is publicly known that polymerized and fixed is used, and a shape-retaining sheet is used to form a header portion that allows a bag body to be suspended and displayed, or a shape-retaining sheet is used to shape an article storage room to freely deform the front and back films. It has a mount function to prevent it.

[0003]

Although the welfare of the handicapped has been discussed for a long time, it is still difficult to say that retailers are sufficiently concerned about the handicapped. In other words, not only the information directly displayed on the surface of the product (product), but also the product such as a tag hung on the product or a label attached thereto, all necessary information is printed and displayed only so as to be visible to the naked eye. Have been. In particular, in a product package in which a product is packaged in a bag, it is difficult to know items related to the product from the outside of the bag only by tactile sense, and descriptive characters printed on the bag,
It is necessary to visually check the packaged goods from the transparent part of the bag with the naked eye, and there is a problem that attention to blind people is lacking.

[0004] In this regard, the present inventor has conceived of separately preparing, for example, a display tape expressing a description in Braille and bonding such a display tape to a product. Further research was needed.

[0005] In addition, as far as the product packaging is concerned, if the display tape is manually adhered to the surface of the bag, a great deal of labor is required, and the cost of the product may be increased. If the person is not a person who can read Braille, there is a risk of erroneous operation of sticking a display tape representing different contents, which causes confusion.

[0006] By the way, usually, a product packaging bag is made at the request of a product supplier such as a product maker or the like, and a specific product is packaged in a specific packaging bag. In order to do so, it is possible to provide Braille marks on the bags to be manufactured in the bag making process. For example, in the case of a packaging bag using dry batteries as a product, information on the product is specified at the time of bag making, such as the name of the manufacturer, as well as whether the bag is for AA batteries or AAA batteries. Therefore, the specified item can be displayed on the bag at the time of bag making.

However, if a member other than the constituent material of the bag is required, such as the above-mentioned display tape,
There is a problem that it is not compatible with the bag manufacturing industry, which is required to severely reduce costs.

[0008]

A braille display 12 is provided by a projection group including a plurality of projections 13 formed to face. Such a Braille display 12 has a male mold provided with a convex portion for forming a group of protrusions facing the back surface of the synthetic resin sheet 6G, and a female mold provided with a concave portion corresponding to the convex portion formed of a synthetic resin. The sheet is pressed by a press using an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder while facing the surface of the sheet 6G. Therefore, a concave portion 13C is formed on the back surface of the synthetic resin sheet 6G corresponding to the projection 13, thereby protruding the projection 13 by a necessary and sufficient height. In the case of a cold press, the pressing pressure is increased, and each projection 13 is embossed. When hot pressing is performed while heating by incorporating a heater in the male mold and / or the female mold, the pressing pressure may be set relatively low, and each of the projections 13 is heated while the synthetic resin sheet 6G is softened. Is embossed.

(Second Embodiment) As shown by a dashed line in FIG. 1B, in the configuration of the first embodiment, at least the surface of the synthetic resin sheet 6G is made of a synthetic resin film 3G.
And laminated and integrated by an adhesive or welding means. At this time, the surface of the synthetic resin film 3G and / or

The third embodiment, which is a further development of the second embodiment, is shown in which a heat-deposited layer 20 made of a heat-sensitive adhesive is laminated and integrated on the back surface of a synthetic resin sheet 6G. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment and / or the second embodiment. Therefore, according to the third embodiment, the article 1G is suitable for forming a label to be attached to a product or the like, and the article 1G (label) provided with the Braille display 12 by the projection group can be used for any product or the like. The article 1G (label) can be thermally adhered to the surface of a product or the like by the heat-adhesive layer 20 that is melted by heating in a state where the article 1G is melted. It is preferable that the synthetic resin film 3G and the synthetic resin sheet 6G be made of a resin material having a relatively high melting point with respect to the melting point of the heat-adhesive layer 20. Also in the third embodiment, the male mold provided with the convex portion for forming the projection group faces the thermal adhesion layer 20 located on the back surface of the synthetic resin sheet 6G, and the concave portion corresponding to the convex portion is formed. With the female mold provided facing the surface of the synthetic resin sheet 6G (or the synthetic resin film 3G located on the surface), the protrusion 13 is pressed by a press using an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder or the like. It is press-molded by hot pressing. When hot pressing is performed while heating by incorporating a heater in the male mold and / or the female mold, the heat-deposited layer 20 having a low melting point enters the inner surface of the concave portion 13C and then solidifies. From the side 1
It helps to maintain and keep the shape of 3.

(Embodiment of Commodity Package Article) FIGS. 2 to 8 relate to an article of a commodity package body, an embodiment in which the article is provided with Braille display, and an article in which such a Braille display is provided (commodity). 2 shows an embodiment of a method for manufacturing a package.

(First Embodiment of Commodity Package) In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the bag 1 is made of synthetic resin front and back films 3, 4 which are polymerized with the article storage chamber 2 interposed therebetween.
In the case of the illustrated example, the front and back films 3 and 4 are formed by folding a single film at the top of the bag body 1 and polymerizing it in a substantially half-folded manner. By interposing a shape retaining sheet 5 made of a thick synthetic resin sheet such as synthetic paper between the films 3 and 4,
The header part 6 is formed. The front and back films 3, 4
The compartment seal portion 7 is formed by being welded to each other immediately below the shape-retaining sheet 5, or by being welded in a sandwich shape (not shown) with the lower edge of the shape-retaining sheet 5 interposed therebetween. Side seal portions 8 are formed along both side edges. The side seal portions 8, 8 are formed by fusing and welding with a hot blade. Therefore, on both side edges of the header portion 6, the front and back films 3, 4 are welded in a sandwich shape with the shape retaining sheet 5 interposed therebetween, and the article storage chamber is formed. On both side edges of 2, the front and back films 3, 4 are welded to each other. still,
Hanging means 9 such as a through hole or a hook-shaped notch is formed in the header portion 6. In addition, a sealing piece 10 extending from one of the films is formed in an opening at a lower portion of the bag body 1, and the sealing piece 10 is provided with sealing means 11 such as an adhesive tape.

Therefore, in the header section 6, the three of the shape-retaining sheet 5 and the front and back films 3, 4 polymerized with the shape-retaining sheet 5 interposed therebetween are moved from one film 4 side to the other film 3 side. A group of projections formed integrally with each other by pressing is formed to form a Braille display 12 representing items related to the product packaged in the bag 1. That is, the projections 13 constituting the Braille display 12 are projected on the surface of the bag body 1 (in the illustrated example, the surface of the front film 3) by pressing the front and back films 3, 4 and the shape retaining sheet 5 integrally, The arrangement of the projection group 13 describes items related to the product as the Braille display 12.
Such a Braille display 12 has a male mold provided with a convex portion for forming a group of projections facing one film 4 and a female mold provided with a concave portion corresponding to the convex portion formed on the other film 3. In the face-to-face state, press molding is performed by pinching with a press using an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. At this time , it is desirable to perform hot pressing while heating by incorporating a heater in the male mold and / or the female mold.
Properly, it may be relatively weak pressing pressure, the projections 13
Is heated and embossed, and the front and back films 3 and 4 and the shape retaining sheet 5 are integrally welded to each other by the projections 13.

As shown in FIG. 3, the front and back films 3 and 4, which are half-fold polymerized, and the shape-retaining sheet 5 interposed in the half-fold portion of the front and back films, are continuous in a strip shape. After intermittently moving in the longitudinal direction of the band (the direction of arrow F in the drawing), the above-described partition seal portion 7 is formed, and then the hanging portion 9 is formed in the header portion 6, whereby the semi-finished bag product 14 which is continuous in a band shape is formed. (A semi-finished product forming step). Thereafter, the band-shaped semi-finished product 14 is cut by fusing or the like in the band width direction to form a single bag 1 and the bag 1 is separated from the semi-finished bag 14 (cutting step). The side seal portions 8 are formed by welding both side edges of the bag 1 simultaneously with the fusing.

Therefore, in the semi-finished product forming step before the dividing step, the projection group 13 is formed on the overlapping portion of the front and back films 3 and 4 and the shape retaining sheet 5 by press-bonding with the male mold 15 and the female mold 16. This pressing step is performed by using
Prior to the execution of the step, the front and back films 3, 4 and the shape retaining sheet 5 are welded to each other at the same time as the projections are formed, and are thereby positioned relative to each other. There is an advantage that the front and back films 3, 4 and the shape-retaining sheet 5 do not deviate from each other even if an external force is applied when the means 9 is formed. In addition, even when the pressing step is performed after the partition seal portion 7 and / or the suspending means 9 are performed, the front and back films 3 and 4 before the side seal portion 8 is formed are not covered with the shape retaining sheet 5 at the folded portion. If the front and back films 3 and 4 and the shape-retaining sheet 5 are locked or welded to each other by forming the projection group 13, the front and back films 3 and 4 can be removed in the subsequent dividing step. Does not move, so that the side seal portions 8, 8 located in the header portion 6 can be beautifully finished, which is advantageous.

(Second Embodiment of Commodity Package) In the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the bag 1 is made of a synthetic resin front and back film 3 polymerized with the article storage chamber 2 interposed therebetween.
In the case of the illustrated example, the front and back films 3 and 4 are formed by folding a single film at the bottom of the bag body 1 and polymerizing it in a substantially half-folded manner. A gusset portion 3a is formed by bending the cross-section toward a substantially V-shaped section 2 and a shape-retaining sheet 5a made of a thick synthetic resin sheet such as synthetic paper is attached along the entire inner surface of the front film 3. By setting
The shape retaining part 6a is formed. The shape-retaining sheet 5a and the front film 3 are mutually weld-sealed 7a at the upper edge of the shape-retaining portion 6a.

The back film 4 is folded at the top of the bag 1 to form front and back header film portions 4a and 4b facing each other, and a thick synthetic material such as synthetic paper is provided between the front and back film portions 4a and 4b. The header portion 6b is formed by interposing a shape retaining sheet 5b made of a resin sheet. The front and back header film portions 4a and 4b are respectively welded and sealed 7b and 7c near the lower edge of the shape retaining sheet 5b, and the sealing film portion 4c extends downward from the front header film portion 4a. Therefore, the aforementioned shape retaining part 6a
The opening 2a of the article storage chamber 2 formed between the upper end of the container and the header 6b is openable and closable by a sealing film portion 4c. A sealing means 11 made of an adhesive tape or the like covered with a film is provided.

In such a configuration, the bag body 1 has side seal portions 8, 8 formed along both side edges as described later. The side seal portions 8, 8 are formed by fusing and welding with a hot blade. Therefore, on both side edges of the header portion 6b, the front and back header film portions 4a, 4b are welded in a sandwich shape with the shape-retaining sheet 5b interposed therebetween. On both side edges of the storage room 2, the front and back films 3 and 4 are welded in a sandwich shape with the shape retaining sheet 5a interposed therebetween.
In addition, hanging means 9 such as a through hole or a hook-shaped notch is formed in the header portion 6b.

Therefore, in the shape-retaining portion 6a, the shape-retaining sheet 5a and the surface film 3 which are superimposed on each other form a group of protrusions which are integrally press-formed from the shape-retaining sheet 5a side to the surface film 3 side. In addition, a braille display 12 representing items related to the product packed in the bag 1 is configured. That is, the projections 13 constituting the Braille display 12 are projected on the surface of the bag 1 (the surface of the front film 3 in the illustrated example) by pressing the shape-retaining sheet 5a and the front film 3 integrally, and the projection group is formed. An array of 13 describes items related to the product as Braille display 12. Such a Braille display 12 is used in a bag semi-finished product forming step to be described later, in which a male mold provided with a convex portion for forming a projection group faces the shape retaining sheet 5a, and a concave portion corresponding to the convex portion is formed. In a state where the provided female die faces the front film 3, pressing is performed by pressing with a press using an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder or the like. this
When, hot pressing is performed while heating by a heater in male and / or female, may be relatively weak pressing pressure, but allowed embossing while heating the respective projections 13, the The protrusions 13 integrally weld the shape retaining sheet 5a and the front film 3 to each other.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show a bag manufacturing method for a bag according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, one strip-shaped film with the front and back films 3 and 4 developed is continuously fed and transferred. During this transfer, the shape retaining sheet 5a is polymerized on the front film 3. The back film 4 is folded back and forth to form the front and back header film portions 4a, 4a.
b is formed and the shape retaining sheet 5b is interposed. At this time, the front film 3 is subjected to the above-mentioned welding seal 7a on the shape-retaining sheet 5a (a shape-retaining portion forming step), and the front and back header films 4a, 4b are respectively subjected to the above-mentioned welding seal on the shape-retaining sheet 5b. 7b and 7c are applied (header forming step).

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the front and back films 3 and 4 are folded in a substantially half-folded shape and polymerized (half-folding step). At this time, a gusset portion 3a is formed in the half-folded portion ( A gusset forming step), and a bag semi-finished product 14 which is continuous in a band shape is formed by the above-described steps (semi-finished product forming step). The header 6
The hanging means 9 for b may be formed at the same time in the above-described header portion forming step, or may be formed after the semi-finished bag 14 is formed. Then, after the semi-finished product forming step, the semi-finished band-shaped bag semi-finished product 14 which is intermittently transported in the longitudinal direction of the belt (in the direction of arrow F in the drawing) is cut off by fusing or the like in the width direction of the belt. And the bag 1 is separated from the bag semi-finished product 14 (separation step), and the side seals 8 are formed by welding both side edges of the bag 1 simultaneously with this fusing.

Therefore, in the semi-finished product forming step before the dividing step, the same male and female molds as in the first embodiment described above are applied to the overlapping portion of the front film 3 and the shape retaining sheet 5a constituting the shape retaining portion 6a. The protrusion group 13 is formed by press-compression. If this pressing step is performed prior to the operation of the welding seal 7a, the front film 3 and the shape-retaining sheet 5a are welded to each other and are thereby positioned relative to each other. There is an advantage that the front film 3 and the shape retaining sheet 5a are not displaced from each other even when an external force is applied during the formation. Also,
Even if the pressing step is performed after the welding seal 7a is performed,
In the subsequent half-folding process accompanied by the gusset forming process, when the shape-retaining portion 6a provided with the welding seal 7a only at the edge portion is simply bent, the front film 3 and the shape-retaining sheet 5a, which are likely to be displaced from each other, form a group of protrusions. Since it is also welded in the 13 part,
This is advantageous in that bending can be performed in a stable state where displacement is prevented. Further, since the shape retaining sheet 5a before the side seal portion 8 is formed can freely move with respect to the front film 3 in the vicinity of the gusset portion 3a, the front film 3 is formed by forming the projection group 13. If the shape-retaining sheet 5a is welded to each other, the shape-retaining sheet 5a does not move during the subsequent dividing step, so that the finish of the side seal portions 8, 8 located at the gusset portion 3a can be beautifully finished. There are advantages that can be done.
