Bag for food

Abstract

A packaging bag for foods / food products comprises at least a front part and a back part, which are connected to one another in the two lateral edge regions over at least one side fold or at least one side seam in each case and between which a bag pocket is formed with an upper open end and a lower closed end, especially which is formed by the fact that the front part, at a lower fold or seam, is turned over toward the back onto the back part, wherein the entire packaging bag has a left and a right bag part, the two of which are connected together along an overlapping region extending between the lower and the upper end, wherein in the overlapping region or laterally adjacent to this, at least one weakening line is provided, at which the two bag parts can be separated from one another.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a bag. More particularly this invention concerns a bag intended to hold food.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A typical packaging bag for foods has at least a front part and a back part, which are connected to one another in the two lateral edge regions over at least one side fold or at least one side seam in each case and between which a bag pocket is formed with an upper open end and a lower closed end, wherein the entire packaging bag has a left bag part and a right bag part, the two of which are connected together along an overlapping region extending between the lower and the upper end, especially which extends congruently over the entire height of both the front side and the back side.[0003]In such a packaging bag, for example, the lower closed end may be formed in that the front part, at a lower fold or a lower seam toward the back, is wrapped around the back part and for example is fastened to it by gluing or weldi...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is about a closed bag that can be easily torn open. It is designed to be grabbed with one hand and separated from another bag by rotating it and using a tearing process. The bag has a side fold that helps stabilize its tightness without making it too stiff. The length of the fold should be between 20% and 80% of the cover flap length or the distance between the front and back parts' edges. This allows for optimal tightness without compromising the bag's flexibility.

Problems solved by technology

However, bags of this type have the drawback that a food packed in them, e.g., a sandwich, usually can only be removed through the opened end, while on the other hand such a bag cannot be torn open in a defined manner.

To be sure, it is also known in the prior art, in order to facilitate defined opening, that weakening lines, especially in the form of perforations, may be created in such a packaging bag; in such cases, however, it is often found that despite the provision of a weakening line, a bag does not necessarily tear on this weakening line during a tearing process, especially if the person who is using it does not definitively produce an initial tear site at the location of the weakening line, which would then tear further along this weakening line.

With such bags, even if they have a weakening line, careless tearing can have unwanted consequences, especially completely uncontrolled tearing open of the bag, and thus even entail the risk that the food packed therein will fall out in an uncontrolled manner.
