Abstract

A tape bondable to an inner surface of at least one of films forming a bag body is provided. The tape includes: at least one elongated base; a tearing guide piece bonded to the base in a longitudinal direction of the base and capable of tearing the base and the film; and at least one protrusion protruding in a direction of the tearing guide piece from a surface of the base to which the tearing guide piece is bonded. The protrusion is formed on a portion of the base where the tearing guide piece is not bonded.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A tape bondable to an inner surface of at least one film forming a bag body, the tape comprising:
at least one elongated base;
a tearing guide piece bonded to the base in a longitudinal direction of the base and capable of tearing the base and the at least one film; and
at least one protrusion protruding in a direction of the tearing guide piece from a surface of the base to which the tearing guide piece is bonded, the at least one protrusion being formed on a part of the base to which the tearing guide piece is not bonded,
wherein at least one elongated block disposed opposite from the base in relation to the tearing guide piece, the at least one elongated block being bondable to the tearing guide piece, and
wherein the base and the block are provided along a longitudinal direction of the tearing guide piece with the tearing guide piece interposed therebetween.

2. The tape according to claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one convex portion protruding in a direction of the tearing guide piece from a surface of the block that is bondable to the tearing guide piece, the at least one convex portion being formed on a part of the block except for a part of the block that is bondable to the tearing guide piece.

3. The tape according to claim 2 , wherein
the at least one convex portion and the protrusion are disposed with the tearing guide piece interposed therebetween, and an end of the at least one convex portion in the direction of the tearing guide piece is bondable to the film of the bag body to which the base is bondable.

4. The tape according to claim 2 , wherein
a bonding strength between the base and the tearing guide piece is larger than a bonding strength between the block and the tearing guide piece.

5. The tape according to claim 4 , wherein
compatibility between a resin forming the block and a resin forming the tearing guide piece is lower than compatibility between a resin forming the base and the resin forming the tearing guide piece.

6. The tape according to claim 1 , wherein
the protrusion is in no contact with the tearing guide piece.

7. The tape according to claim 6 , wherein
a portion of the base corresponding to a space between the protrusion and the tearing guide piece is thinned.

8. A bag comprising:
a bag body made of at least one film; and
a tape bonded to an inner surface of the at least one film of the bag body, wherein
the tape comprises:
at least one elongated base;
a tearing guide piece bonded to the base in a longitudinal direction of the base and configured to tear the base and the at least one film; and
at least one protrusion protruding in a direction of the tearing guide piece from a surface of the base to which the tearing guide piece is bonded, the at least one protrusion being formed on a part of the base to which the tearing guide piece is not bonded, wherein
the tape is bonded to the inner surface of the at least one film of the bag body through the at least one base,
wherein at least one elongated block disposed opposite from the base in relation to the tearing guide piece, the at least one elongated block being bondable to the tearing guide piece, and
wherein the base and the block are provided along a longitudinal direction of the tearing guide piece with the tearing guide piece interposed therebetween.

9. The bag according to claim 8 , further comprising:
at least one convex portion protruding in a direction of the tearing guide piece from a surface of the block to which the tearing guide piece is bonded, the at least one convex portion being formed on a part of the block to which the tearing guide piece is not bonded.

10. The bag according to claim 9 , wherein
the at least one convex portion and the protrusion are disposed with the tearing guide piece interposed therebetween, and an end of the at least one convex portion in the direction of the tearing guide piece is bonded to the film of the bag body to which the base is bonded.

11. The bag according to claim 9 , wherein
a bonding strength between the base and the tearing guide piece is larger than a bonding strength between the block and the tearing guide piece.

12. The bag according to claim 11 , wherein
the block and the tearing guide piece are formed of mutually poorly compatible resins, and
the base and the tearing guide piece are formed of mutually well-compatible resins.

13. The bag according to claim 8 , wherein
the protrusion is not in contact with the tearing guide piece.

14. The bag according to claim 13 , wherein
a portion of the base corresponding to a space between the protrusion and the tearing guide piece is thinned.

15. The bag according to claim 8 , wherein
the bag body has first and second walls facing each other,
the first wall is configured to define an opening by being torn by the tearing guide piece, and
a part of the tearing guide piece on the second wall is exposed outside through a hole or a weakened line.

16. The bag according to claim 8 , wherein
the bag body forms a receiving portion capable of receiving contents therein, and
the bag body has a contents-receiving opening defined by edges of the bag body opposite from a portion where the receiving portion is formed, with respect to the tape.

17. The bag according to claim 8 , wherein
the bag body forms a receiving portion in which contents are received, and
the edges of the bag body, which are opposite with respect to the tape from the portion of the bag body where the receiving portion is formed, are bonded.

18. The bag according to claim 8 , wherein
the bag body is provided with a holding portion at an end thereof.

19. The bag according to claim 8 , wherein
the bag body comprises: a pair of flat portions facing each other; a pair of lateral portions interposed between the pair of flat portions at both side edges of the bag body; and a bottom portion, the lateral portions and the bottom portion being inwardly folded along folding lines.
