DE9411588U1 - Stand-up pouch with bottom handle - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a stand-up pouch with two essentially rectangular side walls made of film, which are welded together in the upper lateral edge areas and at their upper edge to form bag edges and are connected to one another in the area of their lower edge via a bottom film which is folded inwards when the stand-up pouch is not filled and unfolded when it is filled.

Such stand-up pouches are known in many different forms. While previously mainly stand-up pouches with a

f OEHMERT & BOEHMERT,

_ &ogr;—

While stand-up pouches with a maximum capacity of 1 1 were common, stand-up pouches with a larger capacity are increasingly being used.

With such large-volume stand-up pouches, the problem of handling arises: When the stand-up pouch is emptied either through a pourer provided in its upper area or by cutting off a corner, such large-volume stand-up pouches are no longer sufficiently manageable.

The invention is based on the task of developing the previously known stand-up pouch in such a way that it can be handled even if it has a large volume.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by tabs that extend beyond the lower edge of the side walls in their extension essentially centrally to the imaginary center line of the side walls and are welded together to form a handle.

A preferred embodiment is characterized in that, in the case of a stand-up pouch that is beveled on one side in the region of its upper edge and provided with a cut-out forming a carrying handle 26, the tabs are arranged off-center away from the bevel 28.

It is further proposed that the combined length of the two tabs forming the handle 24 by welding together corresponds to the width of the floor foil.

iJOEHMERT & BOEHMERT,

The invention is explained below with reference to a drawing, in the only figure of which a stand-up pouch according to the invention is shown.

The stand-up pouch consists of two side walls 10, 12, which are welded together in the area of their two side edges 14, 16 and at their upper edge 18 to form bag edges. In the area of their lower edge, a bottom film 22 is provided, which is folded inwards in the state shown in the figure, which connects the two side walls 10, 12 to one another and is unfolded when the bag is filled and then forms the bottom of the stand-up pouch.

In the embodiment shown, the two side walls 10, 12 are beveled in the area of an upper corner, whereby the two side walls 10, 12 are welded together in the area of the bevel 28. In the welded surface of the side walls 10, 12, a punched-out in the form of an elongated hole is provided, forming a carrying handle 26 24.

Welded tabs extend beyond the lower edge 20 of the side walls 10, 12 at their free ends, forming a handle 24. The combined length of the two tabs corresponds to the width of the unfolded base, so when the base is filled they run parallel to the base film 2 2 while leaving a gap to it.

When the bag is full, the space between the handle 24 22 and the bottom foil 2 2 is such that it can be reached through by one hand.

BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT, &Ngr;&thgr;1&udigr;^

With the design of a stand-up pouch proposed here, emptying the stand-up pouch is easy even with a large-volume design, since the stand-up pouch can be held in the area of its base.

In order to ensure that the stand-up pouch to be emptied hangs essentially vertically when the handle 22 is grasped, the tabs forming the handle 24 22 can - as shown - be offset from the bevel 2 8 relative to the imaginary center line of the side walls 10, 12, i.e. extend in the area of the line of gravity of the stand-up pouch.

Claims (3)

H 5092 CLAIMS 1. Stand-up pouch with two essentially rectangular side walls (10, 12) made of film, which are welded together in the two lateral edge areas (14, 16) and at their upper edge (18) to form bag edges and are connected to one another in the area of their lower edge (20) via a bottom film (22) which is folded inwards when the stand-up pouch is not filled and unfolded when it is filled, characterized by tabs extending beyond the lower edge (20) of the side walls (10, 12) in their extension essentially centrally to the imaginary center line of the side walls, welded together to form a handle (24). 2. Stand-up pouch according to claim 1, characterized in that in the case of a stand-up pouch which is beveled on one side in the region of its upper edge and is provided with a punched-out portion forming a carrying handle (26), the tabs are arranged off-center away from the bevel (28). 3. Stand-up pouch according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the combined length of the two tabs forming the handle (22) by welding together corresponds to the width of the base film.
