A process for bonding several layers of plastic film, particularly plastic bags, into a block, where it is supposed to be possible to remove the plastic films or plastic bags form the block individually; the plastic films or plastic bags are bonded together in an edge strip by means of ultrasonic welding.
Claims35
Process for bonding a plurality of plastic films or a plurality of plastic bags into a block from which each plastic film or plastic bag is removable individually, comprising arranging the plastic films or plastic bags in a stack and bonding the plastic films or plastic bags together in an edge zone of the stack by means of ultrasonic welding;
- and
- wherein the ultrasonic welding is carried out by a sonotrode by pressing the sonotrode against the plastic layers which are to be welded through an opening in a hold-down device.
A process for bonding a plurality of plastic films or a plurality of plastic bags into a block from which each plastic film or plastic bag is removable individually, said process comprising:
- arranging the plastic films or plastic bags in a stack and bonding the plastic films or plastic bags together in an edge zone of the stack by means of ultrasonic welding;
- providing said block with at least one securing hole;
- wherein the welds are separated from the removable plastic film or plastic bag by a perforation line;
- wherein every weld is surrounded by and disposed within a curve formed by an individual perforation line, said perforation line beginning at one outer edge of the plastic film or plastic bag and ends at the same outer edge;
- and
- said securing hole being distanced from each weld and disposed exterior to each perforation line.
Process for bonding a plurality of plastic films or a plurality of plastic bags into a block from which each plastic film or plastic bag is removable individually, comprising arranging the plastic films or plastic bags in a stack and bonding the plastic films or plastic bags together in an edge zone of the stack by means of ultrasonic welding;
- wherein the ultrasonic welding is carried out by a pen-shaped sonotrode which penetrates the plastic films or plastic bags that are to be welded and forms a welding ring while doing so;
- wherein the pen-shaped sonotrode has a projection with a larger diameter that, at the end of the welding operation, rests on the top plastic film or plastic bag of the stack;
- and
- wherein the projection has at least two points located opposite each other that are aimed at the stack in order to weld the top plastic films or plastic bags together.
