Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a bag element for collecting dirt, dust, drilling residues, food residues or the like according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] The bag element according to the invention comprises at least one bag body, wherein the bag body is designed and intended to capture and store dirt, dust, drilling residues, food residues or the like, wherein the bag body comprises a front and a back, and a surface on the front and a surface on the back are connected to each other by at least one bottom element.

[0003] Therefore, the bag body proposed here has an opening and a bottom element, with the bottom element and the opening of the bag body being opposite each other in a vertical direction.

[0004] The vertical direction of the bag body is the direction that is parallel to a filling direction of the bag body, i.e. from the top, starting from the opening, towards the bottom.

[0005] The body of the bag is made, at least in some places, of a flexible material, such as paper, cardboard and / or plastic.

[0006] An essential feature of the invention is, therefore, among other things, that an upper free end of the surface on the front is higher in the vertical direction than an upper free end of the surface on the back, wherein at least one adhesive element is arranged on the surface of the back in the vertical direction below the upper free end of the surface, so that the upper free end of the front can be folded over the upper free end of the back and glued to the adhesive element.

[0007] Preferably, the adhesive element is located on an outer surface of the back, so that the adhesive element is visible from the outside.

[0008] Up to now, bag bodies known from the prior art have a raised front side compared to the back. This is because, among other things, these bag bodies, with their raised back side, are glued to the wall below a drilled hole. As soon as drilling dust is carried out of the hole by a drill bit, it falls into the interior of the bag body due to gravity.

[0009] DE 91 07 629 U1 discloses a single-layer paper sack or paper bag with a staggered closure flap which, when closed, is folded over along a fold line and glued to the paper sack or paper bag.

[0010] DE 20 2005 021 189 U1 discloses a resealable container, in particular a carrier bag, sack or pouch, with a base from which a polygonal and / or rounded side or shell wall extends and defines an opening which can be locked by means of a releasable locking device, characterized by a closing wall which can be placed over the opening and which is extended beyond an edge of the opening in such a way that it can be placed on a part of an outer section of the side or shell wall and secured by means of the locking device.

[0011] EP 2 314 515 B1 discloses a tamper-proof closure for a box with an alarm sensor, comprising a bolt with at least one side flap and an opening, wherein the width of the opening is smaller than the width of the bolt and the at least one expandable side flap; wherein the at least one side flap is foldable before being inserted into the opening; wherein the at least one side flap is expandable after being inserted into the opening; and wherein the bolt and / or the at least one side flap are provided with at least one layer of an electrically conductive material.

[0012] The present invention, however, takes a completely different approach, whereby the front side is vertically higher than the upper free end of the surface on the back. This means that the front side, which is directly opposite the drill bit, directs drilling dust—which would otherwise fall to the floor—into the bag body via the raised edge. This results in significantly more drilling dust being collected by the bag body. Therefore, subsequent vacuuming of the drilling dust from the floor of a room can be minimized or even eliminated entirely.

[0013] Furthermore, the bag bodies known from the prior art do not have an adhesive element located on the surface of the free end of the back. Not only can the bag element be easily and conveniently adhered to the wall using the adhesive element, but after removing the bag element, the raised free end of the front can be easily folded over the upper edge of the upper free end of the back, so that the upper free edge of the back forms a fold and the raised front surface can be pressed onto the adhesive element from the outside. In this way, a particularly simple closure mechanism can be created, whereby the adhesive tape serves not only to adhere to the wall element but also simultaneously as a closing element for the bag body.

[0014] In addition, the bag element is generally very easy for the user to open due to the raised front, for example by simply spreading two fingers apart.

[0015] It is therefore an object of the present invention to offer a bag element for collecting dirt, dust, drilling residues, food residues or the like, which is not only inexpensive to manufacture, but can also be easily positioned on a wall and allows the bag element to be closed without tools.

[0016] This problem is solved by an object of patent claim 1.

[0017] According to the invention, the bag element for collecting dirt, dust, drilling residues, food residues or the like comprises at least one bag body, wherein the bag body is designed and intended to collect and store dirt, dust, drilling residues, food residues or the like, wherein the bag body comprises a front and a back, and a surface on the front and a surface on the back are connected to each other by at least one bottom element, wherein the bag body is formed at least partially from a flexible material, such as paper, cardboard and / or plastic.

[0018] According to the invention, the upper free end of the surface on the front is vertically higher than an upper free end of the surface on the back, and at least one adhesive element is arranged below the upper free end of the surface on the back, so that the upper free end of the front can be folded over the upper free end of the back and glued to the adhesive element.

[0019] Alternatively, the bag element described here can have such an adhesive element, which is attached below the upper free end of the surface on the front.

[0020] This can have the advantage that different bag elements can be glued together in a chain.

[0021] According to at least its embodiment, the upper free end of the back extends beyond the back by at least one millimeter, preferably by at least five millimeters and particularly preferably by at least eight millimeters.

[0022] These dimensions ensure that the front side catches a particularly large amount of drilling dust that is driven out of the borehole.

[0023] According to the invention, the base element is a surface element, in particular a foldable one, so that the base element is different from a mere connecting edge for connecting the two surfaces.

[0024] According to the invention, therefore, bag elements are excluded which, in at least partially unfolded states of the bag body, have front and back sides arranged in a V-shape relative to each other.

[0025] Ensuring that no V-shaped arrangement of the front and back is constructed in this embodiment increases the likelihood that the already raised front will direct even more drilling dust into the interior of the bag body, since a V-shaped fold in the vertical arrangement direction, when the bag element is glued to the wall together with the adhesive element and by means of the adhesive element, is lowered and thus ultimately the upper free end of the surface on the front is also lowered in a directional component, so that the risk could be increased that, due to the lowering of the upper free end of the surface on the front, not quite as much drilling dust falls into the interior of the bag element.

[0026] According to the invention, the base element is preferably foldable in a horizontal direction relative to the vertical direction. The horizontal direction is a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction and preferably also perpendicular to the wall.

[0027] According to the invention, the adhesive element is designed in the form of an adhesive strip with an adhesive surface facing away from the bag body.

[0028] Preferably, the adhesive element is a self-adhesive element if applied manually under pressure, which, however, ensures that the bag element can be separated from the wall element again without damage.

[0029] According to at least one embodiment, the adhesive element extends essentially in a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction and thus horizontal.

[0030] Therefore, in this embodiment, the adhesive element is not arranged in a vertical direction, but forms a horizontal connecting strip.

[0031] According to at least its embodiment, the adhesive element extends essentially parallel to the vertical direction.

[0032] In this variant, which is an alternative to the above embodiment or combined with the above embodiment, a secure application can therefore be achieved over the entire vertical length or only parts of the bag element.

[0033] According to at least its embodiment, at least one recognition element, such as a marking and / or a reading element, is attached to at least one of the surfaces of the front and / or back.

[0034] The marking can be a notch, for example, on the outer surface of the adhesive element or on the surface of the back and / or front, or the marking can be in the form of a symbol applied at the aforementioned locations. Multiple marking elements can also be used. The symbols can be, for example, a circular symbol, a cross symbol, or any other symbol that, preferably unambiguously, ensures the identification of the bag element.

[0035] For example, the marking may therefore be one that includes or is a code.

[0036] The encoding can be a numerical code, for example a binary code or another character code, which includes, for example, not only the batch of the bag element, but also, at least in its embodiment, the size of the bag element or other information about the bag element.

[0037] The readout element can be one which, through the application of a readout device, enables the readout device to display, for example, the information mentioned above.

[0038] According to at least its embodiment, a readout element, such as an RFID chip, is one that enables electronic readability of the readout element.

[0039] An RFID chip is such a chip, but unlike previous applications in the prior art, it is actually applied directly to the bag element itself. RFID chips known from the prior art are either mounted on electronic components or on smart cards; the inventors' idea departs from this and, in a completely different application area, namely that of civil engineering and textiles, positions an RFID chip directly on the bag element itself.

[0040] The invention is not limited to individual embodiments, but encompasses any invention in combination or individually relating to features not explicitly mentioned here.

Claims

[1] Bag element (100) for collecting dirt, dust, drilling residues, food residues or the like, wherein the bag element (100) - comprises at least one bag body (1), wherein the bag body (1) is designed and intended to capture and store dirt, dust, drilling residues, food residues or the like, wherein - the bag body (1) comprises a front side (11) and a back side (12), and a surface (110) on the front side (11) and a surface (120) on the back side (12) are connected to one another by at least one base element (13) - wherein the bag body is formed at least in places from a flexible material, such as paper, cardboard and / or plastic, characterized by , that an upper free end (11E) of the surface (110) on the front side (11) is higher in the vertical direction (V) than an upper free end (12E) of the surface (120) on the rear side (12), wherein at least one adhesive element (K1) is arranged on the surface (120) in the vertical direction (V) below the upper free end (12E) of the surface (120) on the rear side (12), so that the upper free end (11E) of the front side (11) can be folded over the upper free end (12E) of the rear side (12) and glued to the adhesive element (K1), wherein the base element is a foldable surface element, so that the base element is different from a mere connecting edge for connecting the two surfaces, wherein Therefore, bag elements are excluded which, when the bag body is at least partially unfolded, have front and back sides arranged in a V-shape relative to one another. This ensures that no V-shaped arrangement of the front and back is constructed, which thus increases the probability that the already raised front side will direct even more drilling dust into the interior of the bag body. This is because a V-shaped fold in the vertical arrangement direction, when the bag element is glued to the wall together with the adhesive element and by means of the adhesive element, is lowered downwards and thus ultimately the upper free end of the surface on the front is also lowered in a directional component. This could increase the risk that the lowering of the upper free end of the surface on the front will result in not as much drilling dust falling into the interior of the bag element.and further wherein the base element is foldable in a horizontal direction relative to the vertical direction, wherein the adhesive element (K1) is designed in the form of an adhesive strip with an adhesive surface facing away from the bag body (1).
