  • Patent number: 8070662
    Abstract: A tape 3, 4 with a zipper member and a bag film 5, 6 are continuously moved by rotation of a rotary drum 32 while being overlaid with each other such that the tape 3, 4 travels in a tape introducing groove 33 for a tape with a zipper member, the groove formed along a circumferential direction of the rotary drum 32. The tape 3, 4 with the zipper member is continuously welded to the bag film 5, 6 on a circumferential surface of the rotary drum 32 by a seal bar 35 that has a welding surface 34 in a curved shape corresponding to a circumferential surface shape of the rotary drum 32. The whole tape 3, 4 with the zipper member is accommodated in the tape introducing groove 33 for the tape with the zipper member and a seal surface of a tape body 31, 41 is adapted to be substantially flush with the circumferential surface of the rotary drum 32, so that heat applied from the seal bar 35 to the tape 3, 4 with the zipper member is restrained from transferring to the rotary drum 32.

  • Publication number: 20110089228
    Abstract: A continuous machining device includes: a film machining mechanism that forms a hole in a film; a holding mechanisms being provided integrally with the film machining mechanism; a slider that supports the film machining mechanism and the holding mechanism in a reciprocative manner relative to a feeding direction of the film; and a return mechanism that returns the film machining mechanism and the holding mechanism to their respective original positions defined on the opposite sides to the feeding direction of the film. When the film is held by the holding mechanism, the film machining mechanism can be moved in synchronization with the film. Thus, after the hole is formed in the film by the film machining mechanism, the film machining mechanism and the holding mechanism can be returned to their respective original positions by the return mechanism as soon as the film is released from the holding mechanism.

  • Patent number: 7891516
    Abstract: A container is thermoformed from a multilayer sheet, which includes a container body and a flange extending outward from a circumference of an opening of the container body. An end of the first layer extends over an edge of a peeled surface toward a bottom side on an outer end surface of the flange. When a lid is heat-sealed to the flange of the container, even if a seal resin is melted and flowed toward the end surface of the flange, since the edge of the peeled surface is covered with the end of the first layer, the seal resin will not adhere to the edge of the peeled surface.

  • Publication number: 20110014408
    Abstract: A molten polypropylene having tacticity expressed in terms of an isotactic pentad fraction of 95 mol % or more is flowed. The molten-polypropylene is cooled to a temperature range of ?200 degrees C. to 50 degrees C. and maintained at the above temperature for 0.1 second to 100 seconds, thereby providing a rapidly-cooled polypropylene higher order structure of which main constituents are a mesophase or monoclinic crystal domain having a size of 100 nm or less and an amorphous phase. The rapidly-cooled polypropylene higher order structure is heated to a temperature range in which endothermic transition occurs and that is equal to or lower than a melting temperature of polypropylene to be heat-treated.
