Abstract

The invention relates to a thermoplastic film bag comprising a front wall ( 1 ) and a rear wall ( 2 ), which are joined to one another by lateral weld seams ( 3, 4 ) while forming a filling opening ( 6 ) and are each double-plied in the area of the filling opening ( 6 ), and comprising two pull-strips ( 7, 8 ). These pull-strips extend over the width of the bag, whereby one is inserted between both plies of the front wall ( 1 ) and of the rear wall ( 2 ) and they are welded to one another at both ends thereof. The inventive bag also comprises a grasping hole ( 11 ) that at least partially exposes the pull-strip, and a partially detachable adhesive tape ( 13 ) is placed on the inner surface of the pull-strip ( 7 ) in the area of the grasping hole ( 11 ).

Claims (9)

1. A bag comprising:

a front wall and a back wall having joined together side edges and together forming an end fill opening, the walls being formed of two layers at the opening, the front wall being formed at the opening with a cutout;

respective front and back draw tapes between the layers at the fill opening of the respective walls and having ends connected together at the side edges, the front tape having a portion exposed at the cutout; and

an adhesive strip fixed to the front tape at the exposed portion and carrying an adhesive patch capable of sticking to the walls, whereby, when the exposed portion of the front tape is pulled, the tape tightens to restrict the opening and the patch can be adhered to one of the walls to maintain the opening restricted.

2. The bag defined in claim 1 wherein the adhesive strip is provided over the patch with a removable cover.

3. The bag defined in claim 2 wherein the cover has two parts.

4. The bag defined in claim 3 wherein the cover is formed between its parts with a perforation line.
