Abstract

trash bags (1) made of a plastic film, characterized in that the Plastic film a proportion of a thermoplastic elastomer and has a ductility of more than 20%.

Description

The The present invention relates to a garbage bag made of a plastic film, especially for the household use.

It are garbage bags known to be made of a thin Plastic film exist. When inserting such garbage bags in a trash can There is the problem that the size of the garbage bag does not fit the bucket can. A too small garbage bag can tear when stressed and then it is useless. If the garbage bag is too large, the possible filling volume becomes not optimally utilized. In addition, it can be when disposing of the trash bag with content problems occur when the garbage bag is insufficient tearproof is.

It Therefore, an object of the present invention is a garbage bag to create, which adapts flexibly to a trash can and a simple Handling possible.

These Task is with a garbage bag solved with the features of claim 1.

According to the invention the plastic film a portion of a thermoplastic elastomer and has a ductility of more than 20%. The elastic Extensibility can be achieved by adding additives specific parameter of course set much larger for example, more than 100% or 200%. Depending on the material composition also extensibilities of about 500% are possible. This can make the garbage bag in a simple way over the stretchability to a larger trash can be adjusted without the risk of tearing. In addition, the handling is easily possible because even when filling the trash bag the elasticity for closing the trash bag can be used and a very full trash bag when removing even more space reserves over can provide the extensibility, so that tearing the Plastic film safely avoided and disposal is simplified.

According to one preferred embodiment, the garbage bag has two integrally formed Carrying handles that protrude from the side wall of the trash bag. These Carrying handles can then knotted together if necessary to the garbage bag close. The carrying handles preferably have a length such that they when putting a trash can in a trash can arranged garbage bags on the outer circumference of the trash can. This can be achieved in that the carrying handles of an upper edge of the garbage bag extend and shorter are the distance between the inner edge of the carrying handle and an outer side Edge of the rubbish bag. Preferably, the carrying handles are more than 20% shorter than the distance of the carrying handles from the edge of the garbage bag. This will be the carrying handles when re-tightening an edge of a garbage bag stretched when the trash bag loose in the other inserted in the bucket is.

The Carrying handles can be formed two layers, ie in each case at an edge region of the trash bag be formed so that the handles a particularly large tear resistance exhibit.

Preferably the plastic film has a mixture of at least one polyolefin and a thermoplastic elastomer, wherein the proportion of the thermoplastic elastomer depending on the extensibility and other material requirements between 300 and 900% may be. The plastic film can, for example consist of a mixture of polyethylene and EVA or such Mixture. In order to avoid sticking of the plastic film, can in the mixture an antiblock or a lubricant or mixture this added become.

The Invention will be described with reference to an embodiment with reference on the attached Drawing explained. It shows:

1 a schematic view of a garbage bag according to the invention.

A garbage bag 1 consists of a plastic film of a thermoplastic elastomer, which may consist in any mixture of a polyolefin, for example polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. and a thermoplastic elastomer, for example ethylene-vinyl acetate. Other additives can be added. Depending on the material mixture, the plastic film used preferably has an extensibility of more than 30%, for example also more than 100% or 200%. With a high proportion of a thermoplastic elastomer elastic strains of 500% can be achieved, which is not absolutely necessary in most applications. In order to avoid sticking of the material layers, an antiblock or a lubricant or mixtures of these can be added.

The garbage bag 1 has two opposite side walls 2 on, which are connected together at the edge and adjacent to an opening 5 two carrying handles 3 form. The carrying handles 3 are welded or glued together at one edge, with the carrying handles 3 at a folding edge 6 are arranged and thus two-ply or multilayer. This is the carrying handles 3 particularly stable and can ge a trash can be clamped and knotted together after use to the garbage bag 1 easy to dispose of. The trash bag 1 has a folding edge on the side 7 on, so when inserting the garbage bag 1 in a trash can, the folding edge 7 can be unfolded to the outside, as is the case on the right side of the 1 is shown.

This will make a side of the handle 3 protruding edge section 8th formed, which has a side edge 9 having.

The carrying handles 3 extend from an upper edge of the trash bag 1 upwards and have a length H which is shorter than a distance L between the inner edge of a carrying handle 3 and the outer side edge 9 of the garbage bag 1 , This will ensure that the trash bag 1 when inserting into a trashcan over the carrying handles 3 can be determined by clamping. Due to the elasticity, it is also not necessary that the trash bag 1 is supported on the bottom on a floor, but it can expand in the course of filling down.

Due to the flexible material of the garbage bag 1 This can adapt optimally to different geometries of buckets. In addition, the trash bag is 1 particularly tear-resistant and the handling is simple and hygienic. Because when you dispose of a filled trash bag 1 be extended when removing it from a trash by the elasticity in volume, so that falling out of garbage or tearing of the film is safely avoided.

Around not to let too much light into the interior of the garbage bag, the material can be opaque, especially white opaque.
