Abstract: In a flat-ended bag made of a flexible film material, two bag wall parts are connected via two longitudinal seams running substantially in a longitudinal direction (z) to form a bag wall that forms a tubular body and has sealing edge strips projecting from the bag wall. The tubular body is closed at both ends, at least one end of the tubular body has a base part disposed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (z) and serving as a standing surface, and a resealable opening is provided on at least one end of the tubular body. In order to increase the rigidity of the tubular body, the sealing edge strips are folded over onto the bag wall and sealed or glued to the bag wall.

Abstract: A tetrahedron-shaped packaging bag made of a flexible film material and comprising in the region of a tetrahedron corner of the bag, a pouring part which protrudes from the bag in an essentially tubular manner and which is closed on the free end thereof. The opening cross-section in the region of the transition between the bag and the pouring part is stabilized by a reinforcement in the film material of the bag, said reinforcement extending in a manner transversal to the pouring direction (y) opposite the tetrahedron corner.

Abstract: A packaging unit with a packaging pouch (10) of a flexible film-shaped first material and an essentially shape-stable outer packaging (28) of a second material is such that the outer packaging (28) is tube-shaped with open ends (31, 33) which are situated in a plane perpendicular to a tube axis (z). In a first position, the ends (31, 33) form a hexagon with two parallel sides (a, b) and two pairs of sides (c1, c2; d1, d2) each enclosing an angle ?<180° lying symmetrically mirror imaged to a plane of symmetry (E), and in a second position form a rectangle with two parallel sides (a, b) and two sides (c, d) lying perpendicular to the plane of symmetry (E). In the first position a straight folding edge (g, h) runs between the corners of the sides (a, b) of both ends (31, 33) lying mirror imaged symmetrical to the plane of symmetry (E), and in the second position the sides (a, b) of both ends lying mirror image symmetrical to the plane of symmetry (E) form an angle ?=180°.

Abstract: In a packing bag made of a flexible film-like first material with, a substantially rectangular base which is formed as a standing surface with longitudinal and side edges, the base comprises a second material giving form-stability to the bag in the area close to the base, and has a base fold line running in the center and parallel to the two longitudinal edges and dividing the base into two base parts which can be folded against each other, and the longitudinal edges form side fold lines between the base and substantially rectangular side walls arranged on two opposite sides of the base, wherein the fold part which is constructed from the base and the two side walls is glued to the bag.

Abstract: A packaging bag (10) that is made of a flexible film-shaped first material and includes an opening part (26) which can be cut along a tearing line (24) extending perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the bag as well as an external packaging (30) made of a substantially dimensionally stable second material. The openings of the tubular external packaging (30) lie on a plane that runs vertical to the axis of the tube while the end of the bag which protrudes from the external packaging (30) can be folded inside out over the edge of the external packaging (30) after cutting the opening part (26).

Abstract: A portion feed device (2) for a packaging (1) features a chamber (4) to accommodate a pourable solid product and a dispensing facility (2) neighboring onto this chamber. When in use, the inner tube (10) lies essentially horizontal and features inlet openings (51) on the dispensing side. By rotating the inner tube (10) around its main axis the inlet openings (51, 61) on the feed side can, either in sequence one after another or simultaneously, be brought into at least partial alignment or congruent agreement with the inlet opening or openings (13, 16) on the chamber side and/or the outlet opening or openings (14, 24). As a result of this rotation, when in the open setting, these inlet openings (51; 13, 16) form at least partially a passage between the chamber (4) and the dispensing facility (2) and, in a closed setting no passage is provided between the chamber (4) and the dispensing facility (2).

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a tetrahedral-shaped pouch (100 from a flexible strip of film material is such that a tube (13) is formed from a strip (32) in a continuous manner involving the creation of a longitudinal sealing seam (12), and a tetrahedral shaped pouch (10) is formed from the tube (13) by means of alternating forming a first transverse sealing seam (14) running transverse to the longitudinal seam (12) and second transverse sealing seam (16) running essentially perpendicular to and a distance from the first transverse seam (14), whereby the second transverse seams (16) are situated in the region of a tetrahedral corner (18) of the pouch (10), such that an essentially tube outlet part (20) for pouring that is closed as its free end (22) is formed projecting out from the pouch (10).

Abstract: A packaging device (2) for a packaging (1) has a chamber (4) to accommodate a pourable solid product. This chamber (4) can be closed off by a feed device (2) neighboring onto this chamber (4) whereby, with the feed device in the open position, an outlet (14) can be formed at the lower end of the chamber (4). The feed device (2) exhibits two valve flaps (11, 12) which are joined together by means of at least one spring-type element (10) such that, when the spring-type element or elements (10) are in the closed position, closure edges (16) on the valve flaps (11, 12) keep the chamber (4) closed off from the surroundings. Consequently, by means of pressure (31, 32) applied to the valve flaps (11, 12), an outlet opening of variable size can be easily achieved and thus, in a simple manner, controlled feed of pourable solid products.
