The present application is based on and claims the priority benefits of China application No. 202110858473.5, filed on Jul. 28, 2021. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.
BACKGROUND Technical FieldThe present application relates to the technical field of packing bag, and in particular to a zipper, a child resistant zipper bag and an opening method thereof.
Description of Related ArtCurrently, most of zipper bags that are available in the market are sealed with a zipper. Since the structure of the common zipper is relatively simple, the bag can be opened by unzipping the zipper, which has a poor safety and is difficult to protect children.
In the prior art, a child resistant zipper bag is designed to be difficult to open from the opening of the bag. Such child resistant zipper bag may be opened by gripping the sliding zone on the outer surface of the bag, of which the orthographic projection is within the area of the strip, and then unzipping the zipper by sliding the zipper in the same direction or opposite directions. The hands of children under four years of age are relatively uncoordinated. Such child resistant zipper bag in the prior art can prevent children from opening the bag to a greater extent. The sliding zone can improve the friction of the bag to facilitate opening the bag by the adult.
However, in the prior art, the sliding zone is generally formed by ink printing. Thus, after long-term sliding, the sliding zone on the surface of the bag will gradually disappear, which will lose the role of increasing friction.
SUMMARYIn order to solve the problem of losing friction in the sliding zone on the surface of the bag due to long-term sliding, the present application provides a zipper, a child resistant zipper bag and opening method thereof.
In a first aspect, the present application provides a zipper as described below.
A zipper includes a first wing and a second wing, wherein at least one first strip is provided on an inner side of the first wing, at least one second strip is provided on an inner side of the second wing, the number of the second strip corresponds to that of the first strip, and the first strip is interlocked with the second strip, and a protrusion is provided on an outer side of the first wing and/or an outer side of the second wing.
By means of the technical solution above, the protrusion can enhance the concave-convex feeling on the back of the zipper, i.e., enhancing the concave-convex feeling on the sides of the first wing and the second wing that face away from each other, which facilitate increasing of the friction force when the fingers grip the zipper. Two hands grip the first strip and the second strip and slide the zipper in the same direction or opposite directions such that the first strip misaligns with the second strip so as to separate the first strip and the second strip. The arrangement of the protrusion can also facilitate the deformation of the first strip and the second strip when the zipper is slid, thereby facilitating the separating of the zipper.
In an embodiment, the protrusion includes a first bulge, wherein the first bulge is located at an area corresponding to a projection area of the first strip on the first wing and/or the first bulge is located at an area corresponding to the projection area of the second strip on the second wing.
By means of the technical solution above, the zipper can be unzipped by sliding the zipper along the length direction of the first bulge, which can facilitate the deformation of the first strip and the second strip, thereby facilitating the separating of the zipper.
In an embodiment, at least one second strip is provided on the first wing, at least one first strip is provided on the second wing, and the first bulge is located at the area corresponding to the projection area of the second strip on the first wing and/or the first bulge is located at the area corresponding to the projection area of the first strip on the second wing.
In an embodiment, at least one first strip and at least one second strip are provided on the first wing from top to bottom, and at least one second strip and at least one first strip are provided on the second wing from top to bottom; the first strip of the first wing is interlocked with the second strip of the second wing, and the first strip of the second wing is interlocked with the second strip of the first wing;
the protrusion includes a second bulge that is located between the first strip and the second strip of the first wing and/or the second wing.
In an embodiment, the protrusion includes a third bulge, wherein the third bulge is integrally formed with the first strip and the second strip; the first strip and the second strip adopt a multi-snap-fit structure, and the first strip is interlocked with the second strip by snap-fit.
By means of the technical solution above, the design of the multi-snap-fit structure can make the interlocking of the first strip with the second strip more stable and more difficult to separate directly, which can better prevent children from opening the bag.
In an embodiment, a side of the protrusion that is away from the first strip or the second strip is a cambered surface.
By means of the technical solution above, the design of a cambered surface can reduce the discomfort when the fingers gripping the protrusion while facilitating the unzipping of the zipper.
In a second aspect, the present application provides a child resistant zipper bag as described below.
A child resistant zipper bag includes a bag body that is connected with a zipper that is provided with a protrusion, wherein the first wing includes a first upper wing and a first lower wing, which are integrally connected to each other; the first upper wing is located above a location where the first strip and/or the second strip are provided on the first wing, the first lower wing is located below the location where the first strip and/or the second strip are provided on the first wing, outer sides of the first upper wing and the first lower wing are connected to an inner side of the bag body;
- the second wing includes a second lower wing that is provided in correspondence to the first lower wing, an outer side of the second lower wing is connected to an inner side of the bag body, the first strip and/or the second strip are located at an upper end of the second lower wing, and the strips of the first wing and the second wing are correspondingly interlocked with each other;
- the protrusion is attached to the inner side of the bag body.
By means of the above technical solution, when the bag body is pulled from the opening thereof, the force points are located on positions at which the first upper wing and the second lower wing are connected with the bag body. Due to misalignment of the force points on the zipper, it is difficult to separate the first strip and the second strip and thus it is difficult to unzip the zipper from the opening of the bag body. Two hands grip the first strip and the second strip and slide the zipper in the same direction or opposite directions such that the first strip misaligns with the second strip so as to facilitate the opening of the bag opening.
The protrusion can increase the concavo-convex feeling of the bag body surface of the first strip and the second strip or near the first strip and the second strip, thereby increasing the friction force when the finger grips the bag, such that the bag can be opened easier by an adult. The hands of children under four years old are relatively uncoordinated, so that the child resistant bag can prevent children from opening the bag to a greater extent.
In an embodiment, the second wing further includes a second upper wing that is provided in correspondence to the first upper wing and is integrally connected to the second lower wing at the location where the first strip and/or the second strip are provided on the second wing, and an outer side of the second upper wing is connected to the inner side of the bag body;
a first tear line is provided on the first upper wing and the second upper wing, a second tear line is provided on the bag body, the first tear line and the second tear line are in a same straight line, and a distance between the first tear line and the first strip is less than 10 mm.
By means of the above technical solution, the bag body may be torn open from the first tear line and the second tear line such that the first upper wing and the second upper wing are ripped off at the first tear line and the bag body is separated at the second tear line. Since the distance between the first tear line and the first strip is less than 10 mm, the finger holding margin at the opening of the bag is small. It is difficult to apply force in pulling the bag opening, and thus it is difficult to open the bag from the bag opening. The zipper can be gripped through the bag and is slid to unzip the zipper. During the process of sliding the zipper, the protrusion can increase the friction between the fingers and the bag body and thus reduce the difficulty of sliding.
In an embodiment, an embossing is provided on the inner side of the bag body.
By means of the above technical solution, the arrangement of the embossing can facilitate vacuum pumping of the bag body with a household vacuum sealer.
In a third aspect, the present application provides a method of opening a bag as described below.
A method of opening a bag includes following steps:
- S1: gripping, by two hands, a bag body at a location where a first strip and a second strip are located such that a protrusion is gripped against by fingers through the bag body;
- S2: sliding, by two hands, the bag body in the same direction or opposite directions such that the interlocking between the first strip and the second strip is misaligned;
- S3: opening the bag body from a position at which the first strip misaligns with the second strip.
In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a method of opening a bag as described below.
A method of opening a bag includes following steps:
- S1: tearing a bag body along a first tear line and a second tear line such that a first upper wing and a second upper wing are separated from each other along the first tear line and the bag body is torn open along the second tear line;
- S2: gripping, by two hands, a bag body at a location where a first strip and a second strip are located such that a protrusion is gripped against by fingers through the bag body;
- S3: sliding, by two hands, the bag body in the same direction or opposite directions such that the interlocking between the first strip and the second strip is misaligned;
- S4: opening the bag body from a position at which the first strip misaligns with the second strip.
In sum, the present application can provide at least one of the following beneficial technical effects.
- 1. The arrangement of a protrusion can enhance the concave-convex feeling on the back of the zipper, which facilitate increasing of the friction force when the fingers grip the zipper. When the zipper is slid in the same direction or opposite directions, the first strip can misalign with the second strip so as to separate the first strip and the second strip.
- 2. The arrangement of a first bulge can facilitate the deformation of the first strip and the second strip when the zipper is slid, thereby facilitating the separating of the zipper.
- 3. The design of a cambered surface for the protrusion can reduce the discomfort when the fingers gripping the protrusion while facilitating the unzipping of the zipper.
The present application will be described in detail below with reference to
A zipper, a child resistant zipper bag and an opening method thereof are provided according to embodiments of the present application.
The First EmbodimentReference to
The principle of the zipper according to the present embodiment will be described below. Since only the first upper wing 11 can be gripped when separating the zipper, it is difficult to separate the zipper by unzipping it. Thus, two fingers in each hand may be used to grip the zipper at a position of the first bulge 31. Two fingers at the same side of the zipper slide in the same direction or opposite directions such that the first strip 13 is misaligned relative to the second strip 23 and further the first strip 13 is bent partly. Thus, the first strip 13 and the second strip 23 are slid to form two gaps there between, by means of which the zipper can be separated from the gaps. Since the fingertips are soft, when the first bulge 31 is gripped by a finger, the finger would feel the concave-convex feeling, which can increase the friction between the finger and the zipper, and thus facilitating unzipping of the zipper and reducing the deformation thereof.
Reference to
The principle of the child resistant zipper bag according to the present embodiment will be described below. When the bag body is pulled apart at the opening thereof, the force points are located on positions at which the first upper wing 11 and the second upper wing 21 are connected to the bag body 4. Due to misalignment of the force points on the zipper, it is difficult to unzip the zipper from the opening of the bag body 4, which can prevent children from opening the bag and thus reduce the occurrence of accidental opening of the bag and ingestion of medicines, dry tablets and other items in the bag by a four-year-old child and child under four years of age. The bag body 4 can be opened by an adult as following: gripping the bag body 4 with hands at the positions of protrusions 3; two fingers at the same side of the zipper sliding in the same direction or opposite directions such that a part of the first strip 13 is bent along the length direction thereof and such that the interlocking of the first strip 13 with the second strip is misaligned, and further the zipper is unzipped.
Reference to
- S1: gripping, by two hands, a bag body 4 at a location where a first strip 13 and a second strip 23 are located such that a protrusion 3 is gripped against by fingers through the bag body 4;
- S2: sliding, by two hands, the bag body 4 in the same direction or opposite directions such that the interlocking between the first strip 13 and a second strip 23 is misaligned;
- S3: opening the bag body 4 from a position at which the first strip 13 misaligns with the second strip 23.
The distance between a first strip 13 and a second strip 23 on the same wing is 1-10 mm. In the present embodiment, the distance between a first strip 13 and a second strip 23 on the same wing is 6 mm. In the present embodiment, a protrusion 3 is provided as a second bulge 32 that is provided along a length direction of the zipper. Second bulges 32 are respectively provided at sides of the first wing 1 and the second wing 2 that face away from each other. Further, on the same wing, a second bulge 32 is provided between the first strip 13 and the second strip 23. The first wing 1 and a corresponding second bulge 32 are integrally molded, and the second wing 2 and a corresponding second bulge 32 are integrally molded.
The Third EmbodimentThe principle of the zipper according to the present embodiment will be described below. A part of the first upper wing 11 and the second upper wing 21 of the zipper are torn open through the first tear line 44. Since the distance between the first tear line 44 and the first strip 13 and the distance between the first tear line 44 and the second strip 23 are too small, it is difficult to apply force with fingers. Therefore, it is difficult to unzip the zipper through the remaining of the first upper wing 11 and second upper wing 21. The zipper can be opened more conveniently by gripping the first bulges 31 and unzipping, with fingers at the same side of the zipper, the zippers in the same direction or opposite directions.
Reference to
- S1: tearing a bag body 4 along a first tear line 44 and a second tear line 45 such that a first upper wing 11 and a second upper wing 21 are separated from each other along the first tear line 44 and the bag body 4 is torn open along the second tear line 45;
- S2: gripping, by two hands, a bag body 4 at a location where a first strip 13 and a second strip 23 are located such that a protrusion 3 is gripped against by fingers through the bag body 4;
- S3: sliding, by two hands, the bag body 4 in the same direction or opposite directions such that the interlocking between the first strip 13 and a second strip 23 is misaligned;
- S4: opening the bag body 4 from a position at which the first strip 13 misaligns with the second strip 23.
