Abstract
Abstract 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 The web is continuously fed to a storage device from which two-ply sack lengths are intermittently withdrawn and severed and provided with a stitched base seam.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.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
A method of making sacks which are open at one end and comprise a load-supporting outer sack of circular woven fabric comprising stretched plastics tapes and a sealing inner sack of thermoplastic film connected thereto by a base seam, the inner sack having a melting point less than the melting point of the outer sack, said method comprising: weaving a tube of circular woven fabric defining the outer sack around a flattened tubular web defining the inner sack; applying transversely-extending strips of hot-melt adhesive to both sides of the flattened tube of circular woven fabric; contacting the strips of applied adhesive with rollers to thereby cool the adhesive; separating individual tube sections from the tube by severing cuts through the cooled applied strips of adhesive; applying a welding temperature below the relaxation temperature of the plastics tape through the webs of woven fabric to a narrow transverse zone spaced from the adhesive strips for a time period sufficient to form a transverse weld seam in the inner sack; and applying a base seam engaging the inner and outer sacks to the tube section to complete formation of the individual sack.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
190 words
A method of making sacks which are open at one end and comprise a load-supporting outer sack of circular woven fabric comprising stretched plastics tapes and a sealing inner sack of thermoplastic film connected thereto by a base seam, the inner sack having a melting point less than the melting point of the outer sack, said method comprising: weaving a tube of circular woven fabric defining the outer sack around a flattened tubular web defining the inner sack; applying transversely-extending strips of hot-melt adhesive to both sides of the flattened tube of circular woven fabric; contacting the strips of applied adhesive with rollers to thereby cool the adhesive; separating individual tube sections from the tube by severing cuts through the cooled applied strips of adhesive; applying a welding temperature below the relaxation temperature of the plastics tape through the webs of woven fabric to a narrow transverse zone spaced from the adhesive strips for a time period sufficient to form a transverse weld seam in the inner sack; and applying a base seam engaging the inner and outer sacks to the tube section to complete formation of the individual sack.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the flattened tube of circular woven fabric is vertically oriented before application of the hot-melt adhesive.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
A method according to claim 1 or 2, further comprising moving an individual tube section after severing thereof in the direction of its severed edge, and turning over an upper marginal portion of the sack onto the plane of the sack prior to applying the base seam.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method according to claim 3, wherein the base seam is applied by stitching through the turned over marginal portion of the sack.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method according to claim 1, further comprising temporarily accumulating the flattened tube of circular woven fabric prior to applying the hot-melt adhesive.
