  • Publication number: 20230150757
    Abstract: A drip bag includes a bag main body formed of a water permeable filter sheet and hooking members made of a thin plate-like material on two opposite outer surfaces. Each hooking member includes upper bonded, central, and a pair of arm portions from the central to toward the upper bonded portion, and a pair of hooking portions. The arm portions are mutually spaced with a bag main body width center line between them. Each hooking portion extends downward in and are not bonded onto the bag main body. Each arm portion can be pulled up from the bag main body at an upper part, and has a fixed side on the bag main body at a lower part. The fixed side is inclined relative to a bag main body width direction. A bag main body opening portion opens wider even when a cup opening diameter is small.

  • Patent number: 10906731
    Abstract: A drip bag including a bag body having an upper end to be opened and two opposing surfaces, and a pair of hook members provided on outer faces of the opposing surfaces and spaced apart from vertical side edges of the bag body. Each of the hook members including an upper stuck part adhered along an opening of the bag body, a center part located below the upper stuck part, and a hook part not adhered to the bag body. For each of the hook members, a pair of oblique folding lines are formed on the upper stuck part, and a vertical folding line is formed downwardly from a lower end of each oblique folding line, whereby, in use, at least the oblique folding lines and the vertical folding lines cause the outer faces of the bag body to protrude outward from a bottom end of the bag body.

  • Publication number: 20140262049
    Abstract: A thread material cutting device is provided which is used in an extraction bag sheet manufacturing apparatus, the thread material cutting device having a compact apparatus configuration without the use of a cutter. An extraction bag manufacturing apparatus with the thread material cutting device incorporated therein includes welding means (first sealing device) in which tags retained on a carrying face of a carrier at prescribed intervals and a thread material arranged so as to be placed over the tags are press-heated and thereby welded on the carrier. The thread material cutting device has tension application means such as a pressing plate configured to engage with the thread material placed between adjacent tags so as to apply tension to the thread material. While the welding means is press-heating the thread material onto the tags, the tension application means applies tension to the thread material so as to cut the thread material.

  • Publication number: 20100330236
    Abstract: A fiber sheet is obtained by laminating a nonwoven fabric on a gauze. The gauze satisfies a warp fineness of 5 to 40 deniers, a warp density of 40 to 100 warps/inch, a weft fineness of 5 to 40 deniers, and a weft density of 20 to 100 wefts/inch. The nonwoven fabric is made of a melt-blown nonwoven fabric, a spunbonded nonwoven fabric, or a carded nonwoven fabric, having a fineness of 4.0 deniers or less. The fiber sheet has a basis weight of 7.5 to 20 g/m2. The fiber sheet is excellent like a gauze in terms of its transparency and strength and suitable also for contents having fine particle diameters. The fiber sheet can be obtained at a high productivity.
