Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH05112375A] PURPOSE: To improve reliability of an overpressure valve including a diaphragm to discharge gas from a packed product by designing the valve in such a manner that the diaphragm is adhered to the container wall through a wedge-shaped adhesive layer, and a center area is defined at the front end side of the wedged part to close a discharge hole. CONSTITUTION: Holes 4..., like a needle-stuck hole, are bored at a flat wall 3 of an air-tight bag 2, and an overpressure valve 1 is provided at the holes 4. The overpressure valve 1 is provided with a square-shaped diaphragm 10 made of a transparent and elastic sheet material, and the diaphragm 10 is adhered to the wall 3 through strip-shaped adhesive layers 11, 12. The adhesive layers 11, 12 have two parallel edge areas 13, 14 and a no-adhesive center area 15 placed between them, and the center area 15 covers the holes 4. The adhesive layers 11, 12 are wedge-shaped and a top edge part 18 limits the no-adhesive center area 15. When overpressure occurs, the center area 15 is bent outward to release the pressure.
