Benefits of technology
The invention is a bag assembly comprising one bag and one gusset. The gusset has a ridge with at least one opening forming a grip handle for the bag. The ridge is isolated from the rest of the bag and has two leaves each containing an opening. The ridge is reinforced with at least one reinforcing element. The assembly also includes at least two bags mutually joined by a gripping element comprising a handle. The gripping element is a sheet element comprising two leaves, each leaf being fixed to one of the bags. The assembly may also have at least two bags each containing a gusset, one leaf of which has an increased height. The heightened leaves of two adjacent bags are fixed together to form gripping means for the bag assembly. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and easy-to-use grip handle for the bag assembly, making it easier to carry and use.
Problems solved by technology
A first drawback of this known configuration is that the bag must be handled in the upright position: the handling of the bag can then prove difficult, especially in the case of large-sized bags.
Moreover, the stability of the vertically stored bag is not guaranteed.
And since extra material is needed to form such add-on handles, these give rise to an additional cost, which, in itself, constitutes another drawback.
Moreover, the addition of such handles onto the bag requires an extra stage to be realised in the bag manufacturing process.

Embodiment Construction
[0037]With reference to FIG. 2, a bag of generally rectangular shape is represented lying down such that its direction of principal extension is parallel to the horizontal direction, in contrast to the traditional configuration of FIG. 1c.
[0038]This bag, like the known bags described above, comprises two main walls 11 and 12 of generally rectangular shape, joined by their side edges by two side faces, each of which forms a respective gusset S1, S2.
[0039]It is pointed out that the term “side edge” of a main wall (and, by extension, of the bag itself) here refers to one of the two edges of the rectangular main wall (or of the bag), the length of which is greater than that of the two adjacent edges, these two latter edges of shorter length being referred to by the term “end”.
[0040]The bag thus contains two side edges B1, B2 and two ends E1, E2.
[0041]Returning to the two gussets of the bag, these comprise a first gusset S1, which in FIG. 2 is at the top of the recumbent bag, and a seco...

The invention relates to a bag assembly for foods, in particular granular foods, including at least one bag which comprises two main walls joined by two side faces forming a gusset (S1, S2, S) along each side edge of the said main walls, and gripping means for the bag assembly, characterized in that the gripping means are implanted close to a side edge of each bag of the assembly.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is divisional application of U.S. Ser. No. 10 / 472,268 filed Mar. 17, 2004 which is a national stage filing of PCT / EP02 / 03765 filed Mar. 15, 2002, claiming priority to FR 01 / 03749 filed Mar. 20, 2001.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to food bags.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In particular, it is advantageously used for bags for granular foods, such as dog or cat biscuits, for example.[0004]Granular food bags made out of two main walls and two side faces are already known, these walls and faces being made of a flexible-sheet type material, the two main walls being assembled, at their two ends, the one on top of the other along two respective assembly lines, each assembly line being, for example, a weld or glue line, the two side faces, for their part, being shaped in the form of a gusset.[0005]The walls and the side faces can be realised in any flexible material, for example with a base made of paper, f...
