Abstract

Provided is a protective bag for cards and the like in which four-corner outer edges of the protective bag run along circular arc-shaped four-corner outer edges of cards or the like and in which four-corner inner edges within the protective bag and circular arc-shaped four-corner outer edges of the cards or the like fit each other. The protective bag is a protective bag for cards and the like, the protective bag includes two rectangular-shaped films of equal shape and size which are superposed on each other without any positional shift, three sides of the rectangular shape are sealed so that an opening part is formed at one remaining side thereof. Each corner of the protective bag is formed into a circular-arc shape, and two base corner portions opposed to the opening part are opened without being sealed.

Claims (22)

1. A protective bag for cards comprising two rectangular-shaped films of equal shape and size which are superposed on each other without any positional shift, three sides of the superposed two rectangular-shaped films being sealed so that an opening part is formed at one remaining side thereof, wherein

each corner of the two rectangular-shaped films has a circular-arc shape when viewed in a direction perpendicular to a main surface of each of the two rectangular-shaped films, and the three sides of the superposed two rectangular-shaped films are sealed except the opening part and the each corner of the two rectangular-shaped films.

2. The protective bag for cards in accordance with claim 1 , wherein

the two corners that are not in direct contact with the opening part are each cut into the circular-arc shape without being welded.

3. The protective bag for cards in accordance with claim 2 , wherein

a pair of lateral sides that includes two opposing sides of the three sealed sides are formed by fusion cutting, and a base side that includes a side of the three sealed sides that is between the pair of two opposing lateral sides and opposite the open side of the protective bag is formed by ultrasonic welding and subsequent cutting.

4. The protective bag for cards in accordance with claim 1 , wherein

the superposed two rectangular-shaped films are in direct contact with each other at the three sides where the superposed two rectangular-shaped films are sealed.

5. The protective bag for cards in accordance with claim 2 , wherein

a pair of lateral sides that includes two opposing sides of the three sealed sides is formed by fusion cutting and thereby has no excess sealing margin outside a contour of the fusion cutting, and a base side that includes a side of the three sealed sides that is between the pair of opposing lateral sides and opposite the open side of the protective bag is formed by ultrasonic welding and subsequent cutting and thereby has no excess sealing margin outside a contour of the ultrasonic welding.

6. The protective bag for cards in accordance with claim 1 , wherein

each of the circular-arc shapes of the each corner of the two rectangular shaped films has a diameter of 1-4 mm φ.

7. The protective bag for cards in accordance with claim 1 , wherein

each of the circular-arc shapes of the each corner of the two rectangular shaped films has a diameter of 6 mm φ.

8. A protective bag for cards comprising:

a first rectangular-shaped film having a first main surface facing outside of the protective bag and a second main surface facing inside of the protective bag; and

a second rectangular-shaped firm having a third main surface facing inside of the protective bag and a fourth main surface facing outside of the protective bag,

wherein the first main surface, the second main surface, the third main surface, and the fourth mail surface have equal shape and size which are superposed on each other without any positional shift,

wherein three sides of the superposed two rectangular-shaped films are sealed so that an opening part is formed at one remaining side thereof,

wherein each corner of the two rectangular-shaped films has a circular-arc shape when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first, second, third, and fourth main surfaces of the two rectangular-shaped films, and the three sides of the superposed two rectangular-shaped films are sealed,

wherein the opening part and the each corner of the two rectangular-shaped films are not sealed, and

wherein the second main surface and the third main surface are in direct contact with each other at the three sides.
