<p>A sealing bar for heat sealing a length of heatsealable material, such as tubing, to form packages and the like. The sealing bar has a surface adapted for pressure engagement with the heat-sealable material for flattening it and heating it. A slot extends substantially through the bar adjacent the surface of the bar, thereby defining the portion of the bar between the slot and the surface as a relatively thin resiliently flexible bridge. The bridge is engageable with a portion of the flattened heat-sealable material, such as a portion of tubing having a longitudinal seam or a gusset, thicker than other portions of the heat-sealable material and the bridge is adapted resiliently to yield on engagement with the thicker portion of the material.</p> |
