Abstract

A bag includes: a film defining a containable space and a first area and a second area both facing the containable space; an elongated tearing guide piece directly or indirectly bonded to the first area; an elongated belt-shaped base disposed between the tearing guide piece and the second area and along the tearing guide piece; a tab defined by a cut portion penetrating through the first area of the film, the tearing guide piece and the belt-shaped base; and a surrounding seal area intersecting the tearing guide piece in a width direction, the surrounding seal area bonding the first area and the second area to define an area surrounding the tab.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A bag comprising:
a film defining a containable space, the film comprising a first area and a second area both facing the containable space;
an elongated tearing guide piece directly or indirectly bonded to the first area;
an elongated belt-shaped base disposed between the tearing guide piece and the second area along the tearing guide piece;
an opposite base disposed along and opposite the belt-shaped base, the opposite base being bonded to the first area;
at least one pair of engagement portions protrudes from respective ones of the belt-shaped base and the opposite base;
a tab defined by a cut portion penetrating through the first area of the film, the tearing guide piece, and the belt-shaped base and not penetrating through the second area; and
a surrounding seal area bonding the first area and the second area resulting in a non-sealed space in an area surrounding the tab, the non-sealed space located between the first area and the second area and spatially separated from the containable space, wherein the surrounding seal area intersects the tearing guide piece in a width direction, of the tearing guide piece at a boundary between the non-sealed space and the containable space to define an intersection rigidly bonding the belt-shaped base to the second area to cut the belt-shaped base when the belt-shaped base is pulled together with the tearing guide piece.

2. The bag according to claim 1 , wherein
the film defines the containable space by being folded and providing two side portions of the bag,
the first area and the second area are mutually opposed across the containable space, and
a bonding portion, at which ends of the film are bonded, is formed on the second area.

3. The bag according to claim 2 , wherein
the film comprises a portion interfolded toward the containable space at at least one of the side portions of the bag, and
at least one of the first area and the second area defines the interfolded portion.

4. The bag according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of side portions of the bag is formed by folding the film and the at least one of the side portions is spaced apart from a longitudinal end of the tearing guide piece and a longitudinal end of the belt-shaped base.

5. The bag according to claim 1 , wherein the surrounding seal area is adjacent to an at least one side portion of the bag defined by folding the film, the surrounding seal area surrounding the tab in cooperation with the at least one of the side portions.

6. The bag according to claim 1 , wherein the surrounding seal area surrounds the tab by itself.

7. The bag according to claim 1 , wherein the tearing guide piece is bonded to the first area through the opposite base.

8. The bag according to claim 1 , further comprising a cut portion formed at a position different from the tab, the cut portion penetrating through the first area of the film and the tearing guide piece without penetrating through the belt-shaped base.

9. The bag according to claim 1 , wherein
the belt-shaped base is disposed to separate the tearing guide piece from the second area.

10. A manufacturing method of the bag comprising:
transferring a film;
directly or indirectly bonding an elongated tearing guide piece and an elongated belt-shaped base overlaid on the tearing guide piece with the film;
forming a cut portion to form a tab penetrating through the film, the tearing guide piece, and the belt-shaped base;
defining a containable space after forming of the cut portion, a first area bonded with the tearing guide piece and the belt-shaped base and facing the containable space, and a second area facing the containable space as well as the first area;
forming a first bonding portion at which both ends of the film in the width direction are bonded;
forming a second bonding portion extending in the width direction of the film;
cutting the film in the width direction at a part near the second bonding portion; and
forming a surrounding seal area intersecting the tearing guide piece in the width direction, the surrounding seal area bonding the first area and the second area resulting in a non-sealed area adjacent to the tab being spatially separated from the containable space, and
wherein the bag manufactured is the bag of claim 1 .

11. The manufacturing method of a bag according to claim 10 , wherein, in forming the first area and the second area, the film is folded at least at two parts in the width direction, and
the first bonding portion is formed in the second area.

12. The manufacturing method of a bag according to claim 10 , further comprising integrally molding the tearing guide piece and the belt-shaped base.

13. The manufacturing method of a bag according to claim 10 , further comprising:
forming a second cut portion at a position different from the tab, the second cut portion penetrating through the film and the tearing guide piece without penetrating through the belt-shaped base.

14. A manufacturing machine of the bag, comprising:
an elongated-member bonding unit configured to directly or indirectly bond an elongated tearing guide piece and an elongated belt-shaped base overlaid on the tearing guide piece with a film;
a tab former configured to form a cut portion to form a tab penetrating through the film, the tearing guide piece, and the belt-shaped base;
a bag former configured to define a containable space after forming of the cut portion, a first area bonded with the tearing guide piece and the belt-shaped base and facing the containable space, and a second area facing the containable space as well as the first area;
a first bonding-portion former configured to form a first bonding portion at which both ends of the film in the width direction are bonded;
a second bonding-portion former configured to form a second bonding portion extending in the width direction of the film;
a cutter configured to cut the film in the width direction at a part near the second bonding portion; and
a third bonding-portion former configured to form a surrounding seal area intersecting the tearing guide piece in the width direction, the surrounding seal area bonding the first area and the second area to define a non-sealed area surrounding the tab and
wherein the bag manufactured is the bag of claim 1 .

15. The manufacturing machine of a bag according to claim 14 , wherein the bag former is configured to fold the film at least at two parts in the width direction, and
the first bonding-portion former is configured to form the first bonding portion in the second area.

16. The manufacturing machine of a bag according to claim 14 , further comprising a molding machine configured to integrally mold the tearing guide piece and the belt-shaped base.

17. The manufacturing machine of a bag according to claim 14 , further comprising:
a cut-portion former configured to form a second cut portion at a position different from the tab, the second cut portion penetrating through the film and the tearing guide piece without penetrating through the belt-shaped base.

18. A bag comprising:
a film defining a containable space, the film comprising a first area and a second area both facing the containable space;
an elongated tearing guide piece directly or indirectly bonded to the first area;
an elongated belt-shaped base disposed between the tearing guide piece and the second area along the tearing guide piece, the belt-shaped base being bonded to the first area at both sides in a width direction of the tearing guide piece to separate the tearing guide piece fr
