METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAKING SACKS WHICH ARE OPEN AT ONE END AND COMPRISE AN OUTER SACK OF WOVEN PLASTICS TAPE FABRIC

摘要

Sacks are made from a web comprising a tube of stretched plastics tape fabric woven around a thermoplastic tubular film. The web is continuously fed to a storage device from which two-ply sack lengths are intermittently withdrawn and severed and provided with a stitched base seam. Each severing cut is made to extend through transverse strips of hot-melt adhesive which were applied to both sides of the fabric tube and cooled. After severing and prior to stitching through both plies, the inner ply is provided with a separate base seam by means of welding jaws.
