Abstract

A web for the manufacture of fluid filled units with a novel machine and process is disclosed. The web includes an elongate heat sealable, flattened plastic tub e comprised of face and back imperforate layers. The layers are imperforately joined together along spaced side edges. The layers include superposed longitudinal lines of weakness disposed generally transversely midway between the side edges. The web has longitudinally space d, pairs of transverse seals. Each transverse seal extends from a respective side edge t o an end near but spaced from the longitudinal lines of weakness. The transverse seal pairs include transverse lines of weakness extending from one side edge to the other generally centrally of each seal in a longitudinal direction. The side edges, transverse seals and lines of weakne ss together delineating two oppositely oriented strings of pouches with each pouch having three imperforate sides and a centrally located fill opening at its fourth side. The transverse lines of weakness are spaced slightly more than one half the circumference of a cylindrical fluid fill nozzle used to fill the pouches such that the web closely surrounds the nozzle during pouch fluid filling.

Claims (7)

1. A web for the manufacture of fluid filled units comprising:
a) an elongate heat sealable, flattened plastic tube comprised of face and back imperforate layers;
b) the layers being imperforately joined together at spaced side edges, each such joining being by a selected one of a fold and a seal;
c) the layers including superposed longitudinally disposed lines of weakness disposed generally transversely midway between the side edges;
d) the tube having longitudinally spaced, pairs of transverse seals, each transverse seal extending from a respective side edge to an end near but spaced from the longitudinal lines of weakness;
e) at least same of the transverse seals respectively including transverse lines of weakness extending from one side edge to the other generally centrally of each seal in a longitudinal direction;
f) the side edges, transverse seals and lines of weakness together delineating two oppositely oriented strings of pouches with each pouch having three imperforate sides and a centrally located fill opening at its fourth side; and, g) characterized by the transverse lines of weakness being defined by spaced perforations extending through both layers with the perforations nearest and on opposite sides of the longitudinal lines of weakness being shorter in length than the lengths of other perforations spaced further from the longitudinal lines.
2. The web of claim 1 wherein each of the transverse seals includes a transverse line of weakness.
3. The web of either of claims 1 or 2 wherein each transverse line of weakness longitudinally bisects the seal in which it is formed.
4. The web of any of claims 1 to 3 wherein those of the transverse perforations in the transverse seals are elongate and closely spaced such that sides of successive pouches are lightly tacked together for facile separation following :inflation and sealing.
5. The web of any of the preceding claims wherein each of the shorter perforations is between and spaced from an associated transverse seal and the longitudinal lines.
6. The web of any of he preceding claims wherein the transverse seals of each pair are spaced a distance only slightly greater than one half circumference of an inflation nozzle to be used to inflate the pouches.
7. The web of any of the preceding claims wherein the transverse lines of perforations include a spaced pair of perforations of intermediate length each disposed on opposite sides of the shorter perforations and each extending into an associated one of the transverse seals.
