Definitions
- the present invention regards the packaging industry and, more in particular, it regards a packaging of the bag type for holding and dispensing products of a preset particle size, which is provided with an easy opening.
- the main objective of the present invention is that of providing a packaging of the abovementioned type, which is particularly easy to open and which allows an equally easy dispensing of the product held therein.
- the expression "easy opening” in this case means an opening of a packaging which can be properly performed by the user, regardless of his manual ability, without the risk of tearing the packaging, and in any case, without the risk of jeopardising its structure and functionality.
- the expression "easy dispensing” in this case means the dispensing of the product held in the packaging which can be properly performed by the user in an easy manner, regardless of his manual ability, particularly due to the possibility of controlling the dispensing of the product itself.
- the packaging according to the invention is characterised in that it comprises a bag-like body, flexible and sealed, inside of which a products having a preset particle size is contained, for example a food product such as biscuits, cereals, muesli, but also a different type of product such as various bits and pieces, gadgets and the like, such bag-like body comprising at one upper end portion a first longitudinal strip (front strip) oppositely positioned with respect to a second longitudinal strip (rear strip) comprised between which there is at least one transverse strip (side strip) shorter or of the same length with such longitudinal strips, a grip element for providing a side opening of said packaging being provided for at the said transverse strip.
- a products having a preset particle size for example a food product such as biscuits, cereals, muesli, but also a different type of product such as various bits and pieces, gadgets and the like
- a bag-like body comprising at one upper end portion a first longitudinal strip (front strip) oppositely positioned with respect to a
- Such grip element which substantially consists in a pulling device, allows formation of the abovementioned side opening for dispensing /taking out the product contained in the present packaging and, according to the invention, is made integral or as a single piece with the abovementioned bag otherwise it is associated to it, for example, in the form of a label constrained to the bag-like body.
- a packaging according to the present invention is globally indicated with 1.
- the packaging 1 is of the so-called flexible type and it essentially comprises a bag-like body 2, sealed, within which a product 3 of a preset particle size is contained.
- such product 3 is schematised in form of cereal flakes already dispensed into a container 4, but it should be understood that a wide variety of products of a preset particle size, not only food products, though the latter are preferred, can be held within the present packaging.
- the packaging 1 is provided with a closed bottom corresponding to the closed bottom of the bag-like body 2, with opposite longitudinal 6, front and rear walls, comprised between which are the respective side or transverse walls 7.
- the side walls 7 are smaller or of the same size with respect to the longitudinal walls 6, and they are of the so-called bellows type.
- the packaging 1 comprises, at an upper end portion of the bag-like body 2 and defined by respective end portions of the abovementioned walls, longitudinal strips 8 opposite to each other, respectively front and rear, comprised between which are side or transverse strips 9.
- transverse strips 9 have a smaller or equivalent extension with respect to the longitudinal strips 8 between which each of them is comprised.
- the packaging 1 also comprises, at the abovementioned upper end portion of the bag-like body 2, a sealing preferably only partially of the permanent type, that is, having a first portion of the permanent type and a second portion of the non-permanent type, which hermetically closes the bag-like body 2, made for example by means heat-sealing the strips, or through an adhesive strip, or by combining both or still through other similar sealing means known in the art.
- such sealing - not represented in the figures - is arranged at a preset distance from the upper end of the bag-like body 2, while its permanent portion is preferably extended for at least a third of the length of the longitudinal strips 8.
- the expression “only partially of the permanent type” means that the opening of the present packaging is limited by the sealing to the non-permanent portion of the latter, even in case that the user exerts enough pressure to obtain the opening of the packaging, as better observed hereinafter.
- the packaging 1 also comprises a grip element 10, in particular at one of the abovementioned transverse strips 9, which substantially forms an opening pulling device to obtain a side opening of the present packaging, as observable in the example of figures 2 and 3 , wherein the opening for dispensing/taking out the product 3 held in the packaging 1 is indicated by 11.
- such grip element 10 is made as a single piece with the packaging 1 and in particular with the bag-like body 2 and preferably consists in a folding of one of the abovementioned transverse strips 9 of a corresponding bellows side wall 7, as illustrated in the example of figure 1 .
- the present packaging globally indicated with 100 comprises, analogously to the description outlined above, a bag-like body 200 identified in which are opposite longitudinal 6, front and rear walls, comprised between which are respective side and transverse walls 7.
- the side walls 7 are smaller or of the same size with respect to the longitudinal walls 6, and they are of the so-called bellows type.
- the packaging 100 comprises longitudinal strips 8 opposite to each other, respectively front and rear, comprised between which are side or transverse strips 9 .
- the present packaging is provided with a grip element of the above-mentioned type for easy opening of the same packaging, wherein said grip element is provided by a flap or label 110, preferably adhesive, constrained to the bag-like body 200 at one of the abovementioned transverse strips 9.
- the packaging 100 comprises a sealing only partially of the permanent type, which hermetically closes the bag-like body 200.
- a variant embodiment of the packaging according to the present invention is globally indicated with 300 and it comprises a bag-like body 400 with a substantially triangular section which in other words means that the packaging 300 comprises only one side or transverse wall 7, comprised between opposite longitudinal walls 6, respectively front and rear, which are bigger or of identical size with respect to such transverse wall 7.
- the longitudinal walls 6 have a common edge 600, substantially extending along the entire height of the packaging 300, essentially opposite to the abovementioned side wall 7.
- the packaging 300 comprises, at an upper end portion of the bag-like body 400 and defined by respective end portions of the abovementioned walls, opposite longitudinal strips 8, respectively front and rear comprised between which in this case there is only one transverse strip 9.
- the present packaging is provided with a grip element of the type described above for easy opening of the packaging itself, wherein said grip element is provided by a flap or label 110, preferably adhesive, constrained to the bag-like body 400 at one of the abovementioned transverse strips 9.
- the packaging 300 comprises a sealing only partially of the permanent type, which hermetically closes the bag-like body 400.
- a grip element of the type shown in the example of figures 1-3 that is, a grip element made in the form of a folding of one of the side walls or in any case a grip element made integral with the bag-like body, can also be provided for in a packaging of the type shown in the example of figure 5 wherein the bag-like body 400 comprises only one side wall.
- a grip element of the type described above made as an extension of a transverse strip of the packaging which extends beyond the upper end of the bag-like body.
- the present packaging and in particular the bag-like body, can be realised as a "monolayer" made of flexible plastic material or paper or comprise an internal and an external layer.
- the present packaging can be made of paper coated with flexible plastic material.
- plastic material such as PP (polypropylene) or PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), however without excluding the possibility of using different plastic materials or even other type of materials as long as they are used in such a manner to obtain a packaging of the flexible type as described herein.
- grip element it should also be added that it can also be advantageously used as means for transmitting information for example regarding the product held in the packaging, or information regarding the manufacturer or still advertisement information and similar information.
- the grip element is made with a printable surface or the grip element is associated to a cover, for example adhesive, bearing the abovementioned information.
- the present packaging is opened by the user in an easy manner by grasping and pulling the abovementioned grip element, which being provided at an upper end part of the bag-like body and in particular at a transverse strip of the packaging, allows side opening of the same.
- the side opening thus obtained is small, that is, it has a small dispensing front given that the transverse wall of the packaging and thus the transverse strip is smaller or of the same size with respect to the longitudinal strips, and possibly also due to the fact that part of the sealing of the packaging being of the permanent type allows an opening of the packaging of small extension and, therefore, the dispensing of the product from the packaging is easier to control and dose.
- the advantages of the present packaging consist in providing a flexible and sealed packaging, which is particularly easy to open and also allows an easy dispensing of the product held therein.
- the easy opening allows better preservation of the structural and functional integrity of the present packaging for the entire lifetime and period of use of the same.
