Abstract
A product-containing outer bag in which a plurality of bags stacked in a row continuously or intermittently, with the bags, as products, partially overlapping each other, are wrapped and integrated with an outer bag, for outer packaging, having a resin film as a base material such that a state of stacking of the bags is maintained, in which the outer bag includes a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, an adhesive seal, and a thick portion disposed along an edge of the first side, and an auxiliary seal is disposed on a region (S) adjacent to a portion, of the adhesive seal, at a predetermined interval from an edge of the second side.
Claims28
A product-containing outer bag in which a plurality of bags, as products, stacked in a row continuously or intermittently, with the bags partially overlapping each other, are wrapped and integrated with an outer bag, for outer packaging, having a resin film as a base material such that a state of stacking the bags is maintained,
- wherein the outer bag includes:
- a first side;
- a second side opposite to the first side;
- an adhesive seal connecting an end of the first side and an end of the second side opposite to each other;
- and a held portion that is held upon supporting the product-containing outer bag in a state of being suspended such that the second side is below the first side,
- where in an auxiliary seal is disposed integrally with the adhesive seal, or an auxiliary seal is provided separately from the adhesive seal,
- wherein the second side is a second folded portion in which one base material is folded back along an edge of the second side, and the auxiliary seal does not extend all the way from the first side to the second folded portion;
- or
- wherein the second side has a second opening that opens along an edge of the second side, and a second fitting tool that is disposed on an inner wall side of the base material and along an edge of the second opening, and the second opening is closed by engaging the second fitting tool, and the auxiliary seal does not extend all the way from the first side to the second fitting tool.
A bag feeding device that sequentially supplies to a filling machine a plurality of bags, as products, incorporated in a product-containing outer bag in which the plurality of bags stacked in a row continuously or intermittently, with the bags partially overlapping each other, are wrapped and integrated with an outer bag, for outer packaging, having a resin film as a base material such that a state of stacking the bags is maintained, the bag feeding device comprising:
- a holding instrument that supports the product-containing outer bag in a suspended state;
- an opening instrument that opens a lower end of the product-containing outer bag supported in a suspended state;
- a receiving instrument that receives the plurality of bags coming out of the outer bag;
- an alignment instrument that aligns the plurality of bags;
- and
- a supply instrument that supplies the aligned bags to the filling machine.
