Abstract (en)

A device for manually opening a flexible package, in the form of a bag (1) made from plastics film which is closed by a weld line of closure (4) which is arranged at a filling mouth (2) in such a way as to leave a free skirt. The bag (1) has, at one side end of the filling mouth (2), a weakening line (3) of defined length which is located between the weld line of closure (4) of the filling mouth (2) and a free edge (5) of the filling mouth (2), with the weakening line (3) being directed in such a way as to be located in a contemplated trajectory of manual tearing of the bag (1). The trajectory intersects the weld line of closure (4) and extends across a corner (6) of the bag (1) immediately adjacent the weakening line (3), defining a delivery orifice (10). It is applied preferably to bags of the type for containing a plurality of articles which have to be maintained in a controlled environment and/or must be removed one by one through a small sized delivery orifice (10). <IMAGE>
