  • Patent number: 9517874
    Abstract: To provide a valve structure in which a valve sheet is not fused to outer sheets when heat-sealing to a sealed bag. The left and right sides of three valve constituting sheets are side-sealed, and opposed valve constituting sheets are brought into close contact with each other to restrict a fluid from moving. The inside and outside of a bag body are partitioned by a partition seal, the valve is disposed across the inside and outside of the bag body, and welded to the bag body by the partition seal. One of the opposed surfaces of the valve constituting sheets is formed of a non-weldable film that is not welded by welding of the side seals and the partition seal. The side seals become non-welded portions and side-entering preventive sealed portions that block flows of the fluid into the movement channel are provided continuously to the partition seal.
