Thereafter the bags are passed through means for sealing the top edges at the fill openings and for pulling off one or more bags from the group of bags being fed.
  • the pull-01f device may be arranged for disconnecting, for example, two or more bags from the series of interconnected bag elements.
  • the apparatus advantageously includes a con veyor upon which the bag elements are fed in an upright manner and which may be adjusted in height in accordance with the size of the bag element which is being handled by the machine.
  • the bag elements are formed by folding a heat scalable material along a longitudinal fold line and heat-sealing the folded material at spaced vertical intervals to form individual bag elements and wherein the top edges of the bag elements form fill openings which are left unsealed and passed through means for spreading apart the edges to facilitate filling, and after filling the bags are heat-sealed along the top edges and the bag elements are then separated.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for forming bag elements and for filling the same which includes means for folding a web of bag-formula material along a longitudinal fold line to form side edges of the bag, means for heat-sealing and perforating or forming a line of weakness in the folded web along spaced vertical areas for forming the individual bag elements which may be separated from each other adjacent the tops, with means for spreading apart the top edges to facilitate filling and with further means for thereafter sealing the top edges.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for filling bag elements of a type connected together, and for separating the same with maximum efficiency, and despite considerable bulging and distortion of the filled bags, and therefore frequently lack of straight lines of demarcation between the filled bags as would be required, for example, to assist cutting them apart.
