Packaging for products and machine for manufacturing such packaging

Abstract

The packaging for products comprises a string of containers ( 1 ), each container ( 1 ) comprising a closure element ( 3 ). The machine for manufacturing said packaging comprises an opener ( 6 ) for forming a space to be filled with a product; a dosing nozzle ( 8 ) for dosing the product into said space; a feeder ( 5 ) of closure elements ( 3 ); welding jaws ( 9 ) for welding the closure element ( 3 ) and edges defining a container ( 1 ) on the packaging; and a cutting unit ( 11 ) for separating the containers ( 1 ) from the packaging, forming a string of containers ( 1 ). A new type of packaging is achieved, which combines the advantages of an envelope-type packaging with packaging with a closure element and, in addition, allows to be sold in the form of a string.

1 . A packaging for products, comprising:
 a string of containers;   wherein each of said containers comprises a closure element .   
     
     
         2 . The packaging for products according to  claim 1 , wherein said closure element is a cap. 
     
     
         3 . The packaging for products according to  claim 1 , wherein said containers are separated from each other by die-cut lines. 
     
     
         4 . The packaging for products according to  claim 1 , wherein each container is formed from a film defining an envelope. 
     
     
         5 . The packaging for products according to  claim 4 , wherein the closure elements are welded to said film. 
     
     
         6 . A machine for manufacturing a packaging for products comprising:
 an opener to form a space to be filled with a product of the products;   a dosing nozzle for dosing the product into said space;   a feeder of a plurality of closure elements;   welding jaws for welding a closure element of the plurality of closure elements and edges defining a container on the packaging; and   a cutting unit which separates the containers from the packaging, forming a string of containers;   wherein the packaging for the products comprises the string of containers; and   wherein each of said containers comprises a closure element of the plurality of closure elements.   
     
     
         7 . The machine for manufacturing the packaging according to  claim 6 , wherein the packaging is formed from a film defining the plurality of containers and said opener is longitudinally movable along said film. 
     
     
         8 . The machine for manufacturing the packaging according to  claim 6 , wherein said dosing nozzle is movable between an initial position and a dosing position. 
     
     
         9 . The machine for manufacturing the packaging according to  claim 6 , wherein the feeder of the plurality of closure elements is movable between an initial position and a feeding position. 
     
     
         10 . The machine for manufacturing the packaging according to  claim 6  , wherein the feeder of the plurality of closure elements comprises a clamp which can be placed in a retaining position, where it retains the plurality of closure elements , or in a releasing position, where it allows the release of one of the plurality of closure elements . 
     
     
         11 . The machine for manufacturing the packaging according to  claim 6 , wherein the welding jaws are movable between an open position and a closed position, the welding being carried out in the closed position.
