June 23, 1953 H. L BARTELT QUICK OPENING BAG Filed sept. 1-1, 1951 Patented June 23, 1953 UNITED STATES yPATENT GFFICE QUICK OPENmG BAG a Harold L. Bartelt, Rockford, IIL
Application September 11, 1951, Serial No. 246,104 o This invention relates to bags having a projecting tab or flap which may be pulled to eiect quick opening of the bag.
The general object is to provide a new and improved bag of the above character which is opened by breaking a heat seal joining the bag panels, which may be formed, filled, and closed in a high speed automatic machine, and which may be opened to the full width of the bag.
A more detailed object is to provide a bag having side panels joined together along one part by a high temperature heat seal and along an.- other part by a separate strip overlapping adjacent portions of the panel `surfaces and heat sealed at a lower temperature to such portions'.
Another object is to provide a bag of the above character in which one panel is shorter than the other and the intermediate portion of a separate ribbon is sealed across the outer face of the shorter panel at the end thereof and across the inner face of the projecting part of the longer panel while leaving one edge portion of the strip as a free outwardly projecting tab which may be grasped manually to strip the ribbon off from the bag in opening the latter.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a quick opening bag embodying the novel features of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is an elevational view with a portion of one wall of the bag broken away.
Fig. 3 is a side view.
Figs. 4 and 5 are enlarged fragmentary crosssectional views taken along the line 5--5 of Fig. 2 before and after closing of the bag.
The bag shown in the drawings for purposes of illustration comprises two generally rectangular side panels I and Il lying face to face and joined together along three edges. The panels are composed of or coated on their inner surfaces with thermoplastic material which will soften when heated to a predetermined temperature, for example 250 degrees F. and enable selected areas of the panels, when pressure is applied, to fuse together and become integrally joined. Polyethylene or materials sold under the trade names of Pliolm and cellophane are examples of the numerous suitable materials that may be used.
Herein, the panels l0 and II comprise opposite edge portions of a band of heat sealable material folded intermediate its edges to leave the panels joined at their lower edgesl I2. The folded band 7 Claims. (Cl. 229-62) is cross-sealed at spaced intervals along its length by pressing the band momentarily between two shoes at least one of which is heated to the temperature at which the thermoplastic material fuses. The cross-seals are then split longitudidinally to separate each intervening pocket from the folded strip and form the bag whose panels are integrally joined by seals I3 along opposite side edges.
The panel I0 may be made somewhat shorter than the panel II so that the free end portion I4 of the latter projects beyond the end I5 of the panel I0 and forms an outwardly projecting ilap at the open end of the bag. The ap I4 and the panel I0 may be separated from each other to permit the material I 6 to be packaged to be delivered through the bag opening.
In accordance with the present invention, the bag, after being filled, is closed by means of a separate strip or ribbon Il which extends across and overlies adjacent end portions of the two panels and is joined t0 each by heat seals I8 and 22 formed by pressing the overlapped parts together at a temperature considerably lower than that at which the material of the panels will soften and fuse together. For this purpose, the inner surface of the strip Il is composed oi or coated with a thermoplastic material such, for examplaas a lso-called amorphous waxy material sold by Marathon Paper Company under the name Parocoat and by Standard Cap and Seal Company under the name Cheesewrap. These are typical of the materials which may be used to form the low temperature seals and will, when heated to degrees F. join intimately tothe panels as the two are pressed together.
1n 'the bag shown, the intermediate portion 2! voi thefstrip il is joined by the seal I3 to the outer surface of `the short panel It at the end and across the full width thereof while the seal 22 joins the outer edge portion I9 of the strip against the inner surfacevof the flap I d over substantially the entire area. To form and close the bag in this manner, the strip il is laid across the open end portion of the bag with the outer edge portion I9 facing and overlapping the rflap I l and the inner edge portion 2l? and the intermediate portion 2l overlying the upper end portion of the short panel Ill. Then, the in termediate portion 2I and the corresponding portions of the panels Il! and II are pressed together between two shoes at least one of which is heated suiciently to fuse the material or coating on the strip and form the heat seal IB. lThe strip is thus attached rmly to the panel I along its center line while leaving the inner and outer edge portions I9 and 2D free and detached from the panels IIJ and II. Since the heat seal I8 is formed by heating of the strip I 'I to a temperature substantially lower than that at which the thermoplastic of the panels starts to soften, the panels I0 and II will remain unaffected even though these panels are pressed together and heated during formation of the seal I8. Thus, the strip I'I becomes a unitary part of the open bag and is carried with the latter during filling of the bag.
After the bag has been lled by the delivery of the material I6 into the open end between the strip I'I and the flap I4, the bag is closed by forming a seal 22 between the outer edge portion I9 of the strip and the opposed surface of the flap I4 over the entire area thereof. This is accomplished by compressing the parts between shoes heated to the temperature at which the thermoplastic of the strip will fuse and then unite with the flap upon cooling.
A portion of the strip I'I, in this instance the inner edge portion 2B, is left free and detached from the panels III and I I so as to form a tab which may be gripped manually and pulled away from the bag to break the seal 22 and enable the bag to be opened` In this operation, the tab 2U is gripped at one end and pulled outwardly and away from the panel II] thus breaking the seals I8 and 22 progressively along the top of the bag as the strip I1 is peeled off from the latter as shown in Fig. 1. Any desired width of the bag top may be opened and, if the strip I'l is removed completely, the bag will be opened to its full width.
It will be apparent that the bag constructed as described above lends itself readily to manufacture, lling, and closure in an automatic machine in which the side and end seals are formed by pressing the bag panels between heated sealing elements. By employing a separate closure strip secured to both walls of the bag by seals weaker than the main seals that form the bag, the bag may be opened quickly simply by pulling on the projecting tab. Moreover,v the bag may be opened to any desired width and the contents thereof removed quickly,
