Definitions

  • This invention relates to bags and packages adapted for the secure transportation of articles of value such as bank notes.
  • British Patent No. 2,145,997B discloses a security bag having an adhesive coated flap at its open end, formed by an extension of one of the walls beyond the open end, the adhesive area being partially overlaid by the other facing wall.
  • the adhesive area is covered by a protective peelable strip, until the bag is ready to be used, and when the peelable strip is removed, the overlapping portion of the front wall can be sealed against the adhesive, and the projecting flap can also be folded over the top edge of the front wall, so as to give a double seal.
  • a hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive for the self sealing portion.
  • Such adhesives are very strong at ambient temperature, but significantly weaker in hot or cold conditions: for example, if a normal hot melt seal is frozen to -40'C, the adhesive becomes brittle and snaps. The bag can then be opened easily and resealed. When the adhesive reaches normal temperature once again, it will be as effective as before,
  • the present invention seeks to provide a security bag having a seal with improved "tamper detection” characteristics.
  • the present invention provides a "self-seal" bag having a closure comprising one sealing surface carrying a layer of adhesive, and another surface which is adapted to be brought into contact with the adhesive so as to form a seal; the adhesive layer including patterned areas of different adhesivity, so that subsequent peeling of the seal causes part of the pattern to be left on one surface, whilst the other is left on the other surface; and at least a part of the seal portion being transparent or translucent, so that the disruption of the adhesive layer is clearly evident, if the bag is then resealed.
  • the patterned areas may be formed from a white or coloured ink and may cover all or only part of the seal area.
  • the main body of the bag comprises an opaque plastics material
  • the adhesive layer is carried on a transparent flap which is welded or otherwise attached to the bag at or near one end which is initially open, so that the flap can be folded over the end to form a seal.
  • the general structure of the bag may be as shown in patent no. 2,145,997, with the patterned adhesive layer applied to the foldable flap 18 of the bag, or alternatively, the adhesive layer may be carried on a separate flap which is welded to the bag or attached by means of a suitable adhesive and formed of inherently transparent material.
  • the bag may be formed from a continuous strip of polythene which is cut into lengths equal to about twice the intended length of the finished bag. An area of the strip can then be cut-out and replaced by a closure panel, including an adhesive layer with patterned areas of different adhesivity as set out above. The strip is then folded in half, and the free edges are welded together to
  • SUBSTITUTESHEET form a bag, so that the closure panel is formed on one face of the bag, rather than being at the end.
  • the various panels of the bag may be assembled from separate pieces of polythene, with the "closure panel” cut from a continuous tape on a reel.
  • the adhesive area is covered by a peelable strip to protect it from accidental adhesion, before the bag is intended to be closed.
  • the bag may also be constructed in accordance with patent no. 2,009,707, and may incorporate "micro-security printing", to facilitate detection of tampering with other side seals of the bag, for example. This may also be applied in the seal area, as well as around the edges of the bag.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of a security bag in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a side edge elevation of the bag of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the closure flap portion of the bag of Figures 1 and 2;
  • Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the component layers of the closure flap of Figure 3.
  • Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view showing an alternative arrangement of component layers
  • Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a further alternative arrangement
  • FIGS 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d and 8e show various stages in the formation of an alternative bag in accordance with the invention.
  • Figures 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9e, and 9f illustrate a further alternative way of making a bag in accordance with the invention.
  • the security bag 2 comprises closed side edges 4 and 6, and the end 8 of the bag is also closed, usually by a fold formed in manufacture.
  • the side edges may be welded, and may carry so called "micro-security" printing to facilitate detection of unauthorised tampering • with these edges.
  • the rear wall 10 of the bag is made longer than the front wall 12, so as to form a flap 14 which extends beyond the opening 16 of the bag, through which the contents are inserted in use.
  • the extreme end portion 18 of the flap 14 is made as a detachable "receipt" portion, and a separate closure flap 20 is welded or otherwise adhesively attached in the opening of the bag, at an area 22 near its lower edge, so that the extreme lower edge 24 is within the mouth of the bag, whilst its upper portion 26 projects out of the mouth of the bag, and carries an adhesive area 28 on its outwardly facing surface.
  • the closure flap 20 is made of a clear plastics material, which is preferably a film of low density polyethylene, of about 70 microns thick.
  • the surface of the flap is treated by corona discharge, and a pattern of wording, such as a repeated pattern of the word "void", is printed on the outer surface, in a clear tight release silicone acrylate. This print layer is indicated at 30 in Figure 4.
  • a solid layer of white or coloured ink 32 is then applied over the print pattern, this layer being formulated so as to have good opacity, and also to provide a good surface for adhesive to bond to.
  • the layer may then be overprinted with "scatter" print, carrying a warning of the presence of the security seal. It will be appreciated that the printed messages will normally be in reverse print, so as to be correctly readable through the transparent base film.
  • a layer 4 of hot melt adhesive is then applied over the ink layer 32, and a silicone release tape 36 is applied over the adhesive layer to protect it from accidental adhesion to other surfaces, before the bag is required to be sealed.
  • the release tape 36 is peeled from the adhesive area 28 of the flap, exposing the hot melt adhesive 34.
  • the area of the adhesive preferably extends below the top edge of front wall 12 of the bag, as previously proposed in the arrangement of British Patent No. 2,145,997, so that the top edge of the front wall can be pressed onto the adhesive, once the release tape 36 has been removed.
  • the flap 20 is then folded over the top edge of front wall 12, so as to adhere to the upper part 44 of the outer surface of front wall 12.
  • the hot melt adhesive 34 is so formulated as to bond strongly to the outer surface of the bag and is, of course, already strongly bonded to the ink layer 32.
  • the printed pattern of clear silicone acrylate immediately becomes obvious, since a corresponding pattern of ink remains attached to the hot melt adhesive, rather than remaining on the base film.
  • the layer of white ink is so disrupted by the action of unpeeling the flap 20, that any attempt to reseal the bag is immediately obvious by the appearance of the ink pattern, through the transparent film of the flap.
  • SUBSTITUTESHEET It will be appreciated that a number of other variations of construction are possible, such as the use of different types of adhesive or double sided tape and different relative positioning of the layers of "micro- security" printing and the ink pattern.
  • the sealer print may be applied over the layer 32, or below it. These layers may also cover all or only part of the seal area.
  • the examplary bag is described as being formed from low density polyethylene film it is also envisaged that it may be constructed from other suitable film or sheet materials.
  • Figures 5 and 6 illustrate how additional "scatter print”, may be applied as a layer 50 superimposed on the "patterned" layer, as shown in Figure 5, or alternatively beneath it, as shown in Figure 6.
  • the layer 32 may be discontinuous, and may be applied in areas corresponding to the discrete areas 30 (cf. Figure 4) .
  • Figure 8 illustrates a method of making an alternative form of bag.
  • a continuous sheet of polythene 60 having a width equal to the finished width of the bag is cut into lengths corresponding to about twice the length of a finished bag, and a section 62, near one end of the length, is cut out.
  • a portion of closure tape 64, having a cross- section of the kind shown in Figures 4 to 7, is then welded or otherwise adhesively attached, over this area.
  • the other end 66 of the sheet is then folded over as shown in figure 8(e), and the side edges sealed together, so that the panel 64 then forms a flap with a security closure, in a similar manner to the bag of Figure 1.
  • the process may start with a somewhat shorter length of polythene 70, Figure 9a, to which one side of the closure tape 72 is attached as shown in Figure 9c. Finally, as shown in Figure 9e, a further panel 74 of polythene is attached to the other side of the closure tape, providing a similar arrangement to that of Figure 8c.

Abstract

Sac (2) autoadhésif comportant une fermeture comprenant une surface d'obturation, de préférence un rabat (20), portant une couche d'adhésif (34), ainsi qu'une autre surface sur laquelle le rabat vient en contact pour former une obturation. La couche d'adhésif comprend des zones imprimées d'adhérence différente, de sorte que si l'obturation est décollée, une partie de la configuration reste sur une surface tandis que l'autre demeure sur l'autre surface, de sorte qu'un message imprimé (30) devient lisible à travers le rabat, lequel est en matière plastique transparente ou translucide. Le message reste visible si l'on essaie à nouveau d'obturer le sac. Le rabat peut être solidaire de la matière plastique du sac ou il peut se composer d'un ruban séparé, lequel est fixé à une extrémité d'une bande en matière plastique qui est ensuite repliée pour former le sac.
