A laminate film for forming a tightly sealed bag that can be opened easily by tearing at an edge thereof. The film is a laminate of a substrate layer and a heat seal layer, the substrate layer having a multiplicity of through cuts formed therein, said through cuts being partially or wholly filled by the heat seal layer material.

Laminated film for forming an easily openable tightly sealed bag

Container for containing long and flexible plastic object equipped with

A process for producing a tightly sealed bag that can be easily opened by tearing at an edge thereof. According to the process a multiplicity of through cuts are formed along a line in a laminate film having at least one substrate layer and at least one heat seal layer. The laminate film is formed into an open bag with the line of through cuts provided along an edge to be sealed of the bag and edges of the open bag are heat sealed to form a sealed bag. In an alternative embodiment of the process, a multiplicity of through cuts are formed along a line in a substrate film and a heat seal film is laminated to the substrate film provided with the through cuts to form a laminate film prior to forming the sealed bag.

Method for producing an easily openable tightly sealed bag

A device for forming slits, or through cuts, in a plastic film. The device is a disc having a circumferential surface and pseudotriangular slender cutting edges consisting of protrusions aligned linearly in a plurality of straight rows extending around the entire circumferential surface, the protrusions extending outwardly from said circumferential surface at angle of at least 60.degree. and no greater than 100.degree..

Slit imparting device for forming through cuts in a plastic film

This invention provides an easily openable tightly sealed plastic bag which is formed of a film containing at least a substrate layer and a heat seal layer and is possessed of a sealed part whose substrate layer contains a multiplicity of through cuts, these cuts being formed substantially on the edge lines and partly or wholly closed with the heat seal layer. This tightly sealed bag safely retains the practical strength normally expected of any bag and avoids accidentally sustaining rupture while the bag is being transported or handled and yet permits itself to be opened with the force of finger tips. This invention manifests its utility particularly in a tightly sealed bag which is formed of a substrate of high strength and high barrier property. This invention further provides a method suitable for the production of the tightly sealed bag described above and a device to be used in working the method. The easily openable tightly sealed plastic bag of particularly desirable quality can be obtained by the method and the device so provided by this invention.

Easily openable tightly sealed bag

A cutter has a file-like coarse surface formed on a substrate by fast adhesion of irregular granules to the surface of the substrate with a soft adhesive agent. A dispensing container has the cutter attached fast thereto. The cutter can be folded and attached fast to a ridge of a dispensing container, the ridge in a position such that a sheet material drawn out of the dispensing container will be pressed most readily, without sustaining a crack in the layer of adhesive agent and inducing unwanted separation of irregular granules from the substrate.

Cutter for dispensing container and dispensing container provided with

A plastic film product, such as a sealed bag, wound film or adhesive tape, has a plurality of random scratches or cuts having notches toward the other side of the film, formed along the edges thereof so as to be shallow and small enough to be invisible to the naked eye in order to reduce resistance to tearing perpendicular to the edges.

Plastic film product

A cutting device using as its cutting edge a coarse file-like face, a method for cutting a thin sheet or film by causing at least the cut-starting portion of the thin sheet or film to be pressed against the coarse file-like face of the cutting device, and a dispenser for a thin sheet or film provided with the aforementioned cutting device using said coarse file-like face as a cutting edge thereof are disclosed. A thin sheet or film is readily torn when a notch or cut is formed at the cut-starting portion of the sheet or film. The present invention makes use of this property of the thin sheet or film.

Cutting edge for dispensing container

A vacuum-suction typed holder for flexible tube-shaped film materials made from plastics wherein the tube-shaped film materials whose upper end open and the bottom is sealed are fed thereinto and they are rendered to expand by suction applied from the periphery thereof, in order to facilitate to put, for example, sausage therein.
