Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A method of producing package bags including a front wall, a back wall and two opposite walls formed with folds, said bag after being closed and filled, assuming the shape of parallelepiped, a first reinforcement extended predominantly over surface of said front wall and a second reinforcement extended predominantly over a surface of said back wall, the method comprising the steps of providing a flat tape of thermoplastic film, positioning on said tape of rectangular reinforcements in two rows at a lateral distance from each other; connecting said reinforcements to said tape by backed glueing; folding the flat tape over in the middle between said rows into a half-hose; providing side folds; connecting free edges of the half-hose to each other by welding to form a hose; and dividing the hose into bags by transverse weld seams and cuts produced between adjacent reinforcements positioned in the direction of elongation of the hose.
Claim 2
Independent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The method as defined in claim 1, wherein two rows of said reinforcements are applied to said tape in an offset position relative to a central axis of said tape.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
The method as defined in claim 1, wherein said reinforcements are firstly applied to the flat tape and thereafter a further flat tape is laid on said flat tape with the reinforcements thereon, said flat tapes being connected to each other by backed glue.
