Abstract (en)

An ice cube bag comprises two sheet-shaped foil layers (12, 14; 12', 14') defining an outer periphery. A peripheral joint (20, 21, 21a, 21b) extends along the major part of the outer periphery of the foil layers, with the exception of a peripheral area constituting a inlet aperture of said bag (10). Their peripheral joint joins the foil layers together defining an inner chamber which is divided into several ice cube compartments defined by separate joints (22, 23, 24, 25, 29) of the foil layers. An inlet channel extends from the inlet aperture to the inner chamber of the bag hereby allowing admission from the surroundings to the inner chamber of the bag through the inlet channel. Each of said separate joints (22, 23, 24, 25, 29) is constituted by a number of individual joints (22, 23, 24, 25, 29), each of these individual joints (22, 23, 24, 25, 29) establishing a connection between the two sheet-shaped foil layers (12, 14; 12', 14') with such a joint strength and with such a limited area extension that the individual joint is not broken when the foil layers (12, 12; 12', 14') are exposed to a separation force, but provides a tearing apart or perforation (44) in one of the foil layers (12, 14; 12', 14') along the periphery of said individual joints. Hereby an ice cube bag is obtained which is easy to open by tearing it apart. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
