In the packing bag of the patent document 1, a fastener is attached to an inner side of a sheet piece having obverse and reverse sides, a peripheral edge portion is welded to be sealed for the entire periphery before opened, an opening portion is formed by cutting a part of the peripheral edge portion along a cutting line formed above the fastener, and the opening portion can be opened and closed by using the fastener.
Patent Document 1: Japanese Provisional Publication NO. 2006-290424.
However, in the packing bag of the patent document 1, the cut face frequently becomes non-straight because a part of the peripheral edge portion is ripped by hands when opened, and the appearance is bad when used with seal by the fastener. And, the cut piece of the peripheral edge portion becomes refuse, and useless waste is generated.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a packing bag which does not generate useless refuse, and can be used with good appearance after the opening.
The packing bag relating to the present invention is a packing bag composed of a rectangular sheet piece of synthetic resin, the sheet piece is folded on two convex folded line portions and a concave folded line portion to form a folded portion serially having a first sheet layer, a second sheet layer, a third sheet layer, and a fourth sheet layer on an end edge portion to form M-shape in longitudinal cross section, the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer are fused, and the third sheet layer and the fourth sheet layer are fused, a separation-prepared line portion to separate the second sheet layer and the third sheet layer along the concave folded line portion between the second sheet layer and the third sheet layer, a fastener to mutually seal the second sheet layer and the third sheet layer, and the separation-prepared line portion is disposed on an inner side of the bag to the fastener.
And, left and right both end edge portions of the sheet piece are welded in a state that the folded portion is formed on the end edge portion, and an opening portion to put a packed article in the bag is formed on another end edge portion.
And, a slider is attached to the folded portion to open and close the fastener.
And, a through hole for suspension is formed on the folded portion.
According to packing bag of the present invention, the bag can be opened by breaking the sheet piece on the separation-prepared line without cutting the peripheral edge portion, and used in good appearance after the opening. And, refuse is not generated because the bag can be opened not cutting the peripheral edge portion. The strength on the end edge portion composed of the folded portion is secured, the fastener can be easily opened and closed, and the bag is appropriate for suspended display. In spite of the construction with the fastener, the bag can be produced with low cost. The sheet piece can be continuously printed in the form of rolled sheet.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In a state that the folded portion 10 is formed on the end edge portion 1A, both of left and right end edge portions 1B of the sheet piece 1 are welded, and an opening portion 3 to put a packed article Z is formed on another end edge portion 1C.
Polyolefin resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene can be used as the material for the sheet piece 1. PET resin or nylon may also be used as the material. The opening portion 3 is closed by welding after the entrance of the packed article Z. The packed article Z is one of articles such as food, medicine, supplement, pet food, cosmetics, or sundries. In the present invention, “welding” is a work in which resins are mutually connected by heat and pressing force without adhesives, and also expressed as “heat press fitting” or “heat welding”.
The first sheet layer 11 and the second sheet layer are welded on the folded portion 10, and, the third sheet layer 13 and the fourth sheet layer 14 are welded on the folded portion 10. And, a separation-prepared line portion 5, with which the second sheet layer 12 and the third sheet layer 13 can be separated, is formed along the concave folded line portion 19 between the second sheet layer 12 and the third sheet layer 13.
A welded portion 15 of thin belt shape in left-and-right direction is formed by welding the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer 12 near the concave folded line portion 19. And, a welded portion 15 of thin belt shape in left-and-right direction is formed by welding the third sheet layer 13 and the fourth sheet layer 14 near the concave folded line portion 19.
The separation-prepared line portion 5 is easier to break than other parts of the sheet piece 1 for a V-shaped groove, of which depth dimension is ⅓ of the thickness dimension of the sheet piece 1, is formed straight along the concave folded line portion 19. It is also preferable to form a half-cut line or perforation line as the separation-prepared line portion 5. The separation-prepared line portion 5, not restricted to straight shape, may be a wave or zigzag line.
A fastener 4, which can tightly seal the second sheet layer 12 and the third sheet layer 13 mutually, is provided, and the separation-prepared line portion 5 is disposed on an inner side of the bag against the fastener 4.
The fastener 4 is composed of a chuck tape male portion 4A having a convex portion and a chuck tape female portion 4B having a concave portion to which the convex portion fits, and the chuck tape male portion 4A and the chuck tape female portion 4B are welded to inner face near the convex folded line portions 18 of the second sheet layer 12 and the third sheet layer 13 as to make the convex portion and the concave portion facing. With the fastener 4, the convex portion and the concave portion can be fit by holding the outer face of the folded portion 10 (the first sheet layer 11 and the fourth sheet layer 14) by fingers to mutually press the chuck tape male portion 4A and the chuck tape female portion 4B, and the second sheet layer 12 and the third sheet layer 13 are connected to close the bag. On the contrary, the fitting of the convex portion and the concave portion is released by holding and pulling near the convex folded line portion 18 of the first sheet layer 11 and the second sheet layer 12 and near the convex folded line portion 18 of the third sheet layer 13 and the fourth sheet layer 14 by fingers to open the fastener 4.

In the present invention, being modifiable, the slider 8, for example, is not restricted to the above-described construction and may be changed.
With the construction described above, the welded portions 15 can be formed without increasing the thickness dimension near the concave folded line portion 19 of the folded portion 10, and the packed article Z can be prevented from intruding between the first sheet layer 11 and the second sheet layer 12 and between the third sheet layer 13 and the fourth sheet layer 14 when taken out. The packed article Z can be easily taken out without hitching to the separated second sheet layer 12 and the third sheet layer 13. In the production process, the fastener 4 can be efficiently and beautifully attached with high quality by welding of the chuck tape male portions 4A and the chuck tape female portions 4B to the obverse face (the face 31a) of the sheet material 31. The process of welding of the chuck tape male portions 4A and the chuck tape female portions 4B to the sheet piece 1 and the process of forming the welded portions 15 on the folded portion 10 can be separately conducted, and the fastener 4 can be beautifully attached with high quality only on the second sheet layer 12 and the third sheet layer 13. Further, the first sheet layer 11 and the second sheet layer 12 can be certainly welded by heat welding, and, the third sheet layer 13 and the fourth sheet layer 14 can be certainly welded by heat welding on the welded portions 15.
As described above, the bag can be opened by breaking the sheet piece 1 on the separation-prepared line portion 5 without cutting the peripheral edge portion, and used in good appearance after the opening because the packing bag of the present invention is composed of the rectangular sheet piece 1 of synthetic resin, the sheet piece 1 is folded on the two convex folded line portions 18 and the concave folded line portion 19 to form the folded portion 10 serially having the first sheet layer 11, the second sheet layer 12, the third sheet layer 13, and the fourth sheet layer 14 on the end edge portion 1A to form M-shape in longitudinal cross section, the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer 2 are fused, and the third sheet layer 3 and the fourth sheet layer 4 are fused, the separation-prepared line portion 5 to separate the second sheet layer 2 and the third sheet layer 3 along the concave folded line portion 19 between the second sheet layer 2 and the third sheet layer 3, the fastener 4 to mutually seal the second sheet layer 2 and the third sheet layer 3, and, the separation-prepared line portion 5 is disposed on the inner side of the bag to the fastener 4. And, refuse is not generated because the bag can be opened not cutting the peripheral edge portion. In the production process, feeding the sheet piece 1 (the sheet material 31) in rolled state continuously, the fastener 4 can be efficiently and beautifully attached to the obverse face (the face 31a) of the sheet piece 1 (the sheet material 31) by welding with high quality. The separation-prepared line portion 5 can be beautifully formed with high accuracy to improve working efficiency in production. The folded portion 10, forming M-shape in longitudinal cross section, can be formed thin keeping strength and proper rigidity for the first sheet layer 11, the second sheet layer 12, the third sheet layer 13, and the fourth sheet layer 14 of uniform thickness dimension. The thickness dimension and size of the sheet piece 1 is easily changed to flexibly correspond to various kinds and sizes. The bag can be economically produced in spite of the construction with the fastener 4. The sheet piece 1 in rolled state can be continuously printed.
And, the welding work of the opening portion 3, after the packed article Z is inserted through the opening portion 3 and stored, can be made automatic to improve working efficiency because the left and right both end edge portions 1B of the sheet piece 1 are welded in the state that the folded portion 10 is formed on the end edge portion 1A, and the opening portion 3 to put the packed article Z in the bag is formed on another end edge portion 1G. The left and right both end edge portions 1B on the folded portion 10 can be beautifully welded with high quality.
And, the slider 8 can be attached to the folded portion 10 before opening, and the fastener 4 can be easily opened and closed before and after the opening because the slider 8 is attached to the folded portion 10 to open and close the fastener 4.
And, the folded portion 10 can keep sufficient strength and support the load without deformation when suspended by the hook inserted to the through hole 9, and the bag is appropriate for suspended display because the through hole 9 for suspension is formed on the folded portion 10. The bag can be suspended by the hook inserted to the through hole 9 after the opening, and stored in small space with sanitation.
