Product-packaging bag

Abstract

Bag, for packaging fruits and vegetables, which comprises a flexible tubular wrapping that accommodates the product in the central portion thereof, the two end longitudinal portions of the tubular wrapping being empty, closed and mutually and inseparably joined, said join defining a single closure zone of the bag, common to both ends of the tubular wrapping, said end longitudinal portions forming a handle for gripping of the bag and from which, when the bag is gripped, said central portion of the wrapping and, consequently, the product housed within, is suspended, the handle possibly being provided with a transverse strip that joins individual points that are contiguous to the central portion of the tubular wrapping, an arched bag portion that constitutes the handle proper being defined above the transverse strip.

1 . A bag for the packaging of products, including the packaging of fruit and vegetable comprising a flexible tubular wrapping housing the product in a central portion of the bag, the two end longitudinal portions of the tubular wrapping being empty, closed and attached mutually and inseparably, said attachment determining a single closing area of the bag common for both ends of the tubular wrapping, the mentioned end longitudinal portions forming a handle intended for the gripping of the bag and from which, when the bag is gripped, the mentioned central portion of the wrapping, and consequently the product housed therein, is suspended. 
     
     
         2 . The bag according to  claim 1 , wherein at least in the closing area the two end longitudinal portions of the tubular wrapping are constricted and juxtaposed. 
     
     
         3 . The bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the end longitudinal portions are tightened in respective points contiguous to the central portion of the tubular wrapping, determining respective ends of the handle. 
     
     
         4 . The bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the handle is provided with a transverse strip attaching respective points contiguous to the central portion of the tubular wrapping, an arched bag portion forming the actual handle being determined above the transverse strip. 
     
     
         5 . The bag according to  claim 4 , wherein one of the ends of the transverse strip is attached to the handle in the single closing area of the bag, the arched bag portion forming the handle being formed by one and the same end longitudinal portion of the tubular wrapping. 
     
     
         6 . The bag according to  claim 4 , wherein the rigidity of the transverse strip is sufficient to maintain the points of attachment with the handle separated when the bag is at rest and rests supported on a shelf or the like. 
     
     
         7 . The bag according to  claim 4 , wherein the end edges of the transverse strip are folded over themselves, surrounding at least partially and tightening a corresponding section of the tubular wrapping. 
     
     
         8 . The bag according to  claim 1  wherein the mentioned end longitudinal portions of the tubular wrapping are attached to one another by means of stitching, gluing, stapling or the like. 
     
     
         9 . The bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the tubular wrapping is formed from a plastic material and the two end longitudinal portions of the tubular wrapping are attached to one another by welding. 
     
     
         10 . The bag according to  claim 2 , wherein the tubular wrapping is formed from a plastic material and the two end longitudinal portions of the tubular wrapping are attached to one another and to the transverse strip by the fusion of the actual material forming the tubular wrapping and the transverse strip. 
     
     
         11 . The bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the tubular wrapping is formed by an extruded-type or woven tubular mesh.
