Claims
- 1. A sealing device for sealing together two webs of packaging material, comprising:
- a sealing tool; and
- a sealing backing;
- said sealing tool and said sealing backing being arranged for relative reciprocating movement for sealing said webs therebetween;
- said sealing backing including a resilient contacting surface facing said sealing tool;
- said sealing tool including a sealing surface facing said contacting surface of said sealing backing; and
- said contacting surface being formed of protrusions or depressions, and said sealing surface having a substantially smooth structure;
- whereby as a result of the operative cooperation developed between said protrusions or depressions and said substantially smooth structure, adherence of said packaging material to said contacting surface is avoided.
- 2. The sealing device of claim 1 in which said resilient contacting surface has formed therein a multiplicity of substantially uniformly spaced discrete depressions and intervening upstanding portions.
- 3. The sealing device of claim 1 wherein said resilient contacting surface is provided with elevated longitudinally extending portions and pyramidal depressions.
- 4. The sealing device of claim 1 wherein said resilient contacting surface is provided with indented longitudinally extending portions and pyramidal upstanding portions.
- 5. The sealing device of claim 1 wherein said resilient contacting surface is provided with indented first and second longitudinally extending portions lying respectively transverse to each other and is further provided with pyramidal upstanding portions.
- 6. A sealing device for sealing together two webs of packaging material comprising:
- a heatable sealing tool;
- a sealing backing element;
- means for reciprocally moving at least one of said sealing tool and said backing element for sealing said webs therebetween;
- said backing element including a resilient contacting surface facing said sealing tool;
- said sealing tool including a smooth planar sealing surface facing said resilient contacting surface of said backing element;
- said resilient contacting surface provided with first and second elevated longitudinally extending portions lying respectively transverse to each other and further provided with pyramidal depressions, the resilience of said contacting surface and the sizes of said elevated longitudinally extending portions and said depressions cooperating to provide a substantially smooth surface on said backing element when said backing element and said sealing tool are urged together under pressure with said webs therebetween for a sealing operation, whereby upon the release of pressure between said backing element and said sealing tool said upstanding portions are restored to their normal protruding position to ensure disengagement of said packaging material from said backing element.
