1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a packaging material comprising a packaging sheet opening mechanism.
2. Description of the Conventional Art
Many kinds of the packaging material have been conventionally used for packaging each piece of food such as a sushi, confectionery or other items.
For example, a packaging material illustrated in
However, as shown in
Further, since considerable force is necessary in order to detach the heat seal portion, there is a problem that the sushi 101 in the packaging sheet 100 is squeezed, or accidentally dropped from a hand.
Then, the present invention solves the above-described problems of the conventional techniques, and an primary objective of the present invention is to provide a packaging material having a opening mechanism capable of easily opening a package by only an one-touch operation of pulling an upper face of a packaging sheet packaging a food or other items in counter directions.
For achieving the above-described objective, the present invention has the following characteristics. In a first aspect thereof, the packaging material is provided with a packaging sheet opening mechanism comprising a perforated line formed at a packaging sheet, and a belt-shaped cover sheet provided at the inside of the perforated line of the packing sheet so as to position the perforated line approximately at a center in the longitudinal direction, one side end edge in the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped over sheet being adhered so as not to contact with the perforated line.
In a second aspect, a transparent, translucent or opaque plastic film is used as the packing sheet and the belt-shaped cover sheet mentioned above.
In a third aspect, the belt-shaped cover sheet is adhered to the packing sheet with heat sealing, in the packing sheet opening mechanism mentioned above.
In a fourth aspect, the belt-shaped cover sheet is adhered to the packing sheet with an adhesive, in the packing sheet opening mechanism mentioned above.
As described above, in the present invention, the packaging material has the packaging sheet opening mechanism comprising the perforated line formed at a packaging sheet and the belt-shaped cover sheet provided at the inside of the perforated line of the packing sheet so as to position the perforated line approximately at the center in the longitudinal direction, the one side end edge in the longitudinal direction of the belt-like cover sheet being adhered so as not to contact with the perforated line. Thus, the present invention has the following effects.
1. Since the lower side of the perforated line formed at the packaging sheet is covered with the belt-shaped cover sheet, it can be prevented that dust, various germs or the like invade from the outside.
2. It can be prevented that the food dries or discolors by introduction of air, and thus the taste and freshness can be kept for a long time.
3. Since the one side end edge of the belt-shaped cover sheet, which covers the lower side of the perforated line of the packaging sheet, is adhered and fixed so as not to contact with the perforated line, the belt-shaped cover sheet does not become an obstacle when pulling the packaging sheet in the counter directions to cut the perforated line, and thus the sheet opening work can be carried out smoothly and speedy with a one-touch operation
BRIEF EXPLANATION OF DRAWINGS
Hereinafter, one preferred embodiment for carrying out the present invention is described with drawings. In the drawings, 1 is a rectangular packaging sheet and has a packaging sheet opening mechanism 2 approximately at a center thereof in the longitudinal direction.
As the packaging sheet 1, the transparent, translucent or opaque plastic film is suitable. For example, a plastic film comprising polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate or the like, or a paper coated with these plastics is suitable.
Further, as for the constitution of the packaging sheet opening mechanism 2 provided approximately at the center of the packaging sheet 1, a perforated line 3 is formed in overall length approximately at the center in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular packaging sheet 1. Further, a belt-shaped cover sheet 4 is provided at the inside of the perforated line 3 of the packaging sheet 1 so as to position the perforated line 3 approximately center in the longitudinal direction. Further, one side end edge in the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped cover sheet 4 is adhered to the packaging sheet 1 so as not to contact it with the perforated line 3.
The belt-shaped cover sheet 4 may be adhered to the packaging sheet 1 with any one of heat sealing and an adhesive. 5 in the drawings is the adhering portion.
In addition, the rectangular packaging sheet 1 having the packaging sheet opening mechanism 2 illustrated in
Then, the packaging sheet 1 comprising the above constitution packages a packaged item 6 so as to provide the packaging sheet opening mechanism 2 approximately at the center of the upper face of the packaged item 6, as illustrated in
That is, in
Then, for opening the packaging sheet opening mechanism 2 on the upper face of the packaging sheet 1 packaging the packaged item 6, both sides of the perforated line 3 in the upper face of the packaging sheet 1 are pulled in counter directions while pressing the both sides by two fingertips respectively, to thereby tear the perforated line 3 to the right and left. Thus, since the upper face of the packaging sheet 1 is opened widely, the packaged item 6 inside the packaging sheet 1 can be easily taken out.
At this time, since the belt-shaped cover sheet 4 covers the perforated line 3 of the packaging sheet 1 from the inside in a fitting state, it can be prevented that various germs, dust or the like that from the outside. Further, since the adhering portion 5 of the belt-shaped cover sheet 4 with the packaging sheet 1 is not contacted with the perforated line 3, there is no obstacle in the cutting work.
Claims
