Abstract: An antenna for receiving electromagnetic waves in a desired frequency band, includes a radiating conductor and a ground conductor, a feeder part, a wavelength-shortening section, and a magnetic field applying section. The radiating conductor and a ground conductor resonate at a resonance point frequency. The feeder part is configured to feed the radiating conductor with electricity.

Abstract: A head of a male member and a concave groove of a female member are engageable with and disengageable from each other and form a containing space inside a bag body. On an inner surface of the concave groove, there is provided a fusion layer that fuses an outer surface of the head and the inner surface of the concave groove facing each other, when foods are heat-sterilized for long storage. A peeling strength of the fusion layer only needs to be set by selecting a material of the fusion layer or setting dimensions of an area of the fusion layer such that the fusion layer does not require a large force for opening the bag, thereby providing a favorable opening feeling. The fusion layer provides air-tightness, so that the foods can be prevented from leaking out although a pressure within the containing space is increased in the heat sterilization.

Abstract: A thick portion is formed thick at an end of a female belt-like base near a containing space. To the thick portion near the containing space, a cut portion thinner than the female belt-like base is provided. To the cut portion near the containing space, a seal base that is thicker than the female belt-like base and is sealed to an inner surface of a bag body to which a male belt-like base is attached, is provided. Seal strength of the thick portion to the inner surface is lower than that of the seal base. The cut portion is provided to have a lower seal strength than that of the seal base. An area surrounded by the thick portion, the cut portion, the seal base and the inner surface becomes hermetically sealed. Even when external pressure is applied on the bag body, damages to the cut portion can be prevented.

Abstract: After engagement of a male belt-like member and a female belt-like member are disengaged, a void portion is formed by punching the female belt-like member with a die. The female belt-like member having the void portion and the male belt-like member are re-engaged with each other and fed between a folded base material film that is continuously fed. A male belt-like base and a female belt-like base are heat-sealed. A seal bar heat-seals the base material film to form a bottom seal portion. A side seal bar heat-seals the base material film to form side seal portions. The cutter cuts the base material film in the middle of the side seal portions to produce the packaging bag in which three sides of the bottom seal portion and the side seal portions are heat-sealed.

Abstract: A zipper tape member having a male engagement portion and a female engagement portion formed on a surface of an elongated belt-like tape is pulled out, and is punched and removed at a portion corresponding to the male engagement portion and a portion corresponding to the female engagement portion at predetermined intervals. The zipper tape member is cut between the male engagement portion and the female engagement portion by a cutting member to be separated into a male belt-like member and a female belt-like member. The male belt-like member and the female belt-like member are heat-sealed to a base film, and a packaging bag is formed by a bag-manufacturing device. This arrangement is unlikely to cause a length difference or a tension difference between the male belt-like member and the female belt-like member, so that the zipper tape can be heat-sealed without any crease or adhesion failure.

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.

Abstract: A packaging bag includes a male belt-like base edge and a female belt-like base edge which are abutted on each other. Accordingly, a base material film is bent between the male belt-like base edge and the female belt-like base edge, thereby reliably engaging a male engagement portion with a female engagement portion. According to a manufacturing device of the packaging bag, since a male belt-like member and a female belt-like member are bonded to a sheet of base material tape while the male belt-like base edge and the female belt-like base edge are substantially abutted on each other by first and second grooves, an adhesion operation can be conducted with accuracy.
