Infusion bag, in particular for tea, label for an infusion bag and method for attaching a label to the thread of an infusion bag

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for attaching a label ( 5 ) to the free end ( 3 e ) of a thread ( 3 ), the other end of which is attached or attachable to an infusion bag ( 1 ), in particular for tea, wherein thread ( 3 ) having its free thread end ( 3 e ) placed on the one side of label ( 5 ) is taken by a needle penetrating label ( 5 ) and is pulled in a loop ( 3 f ) through label ( 5 ), loop ( 3 f ) is then introduced from the other side in two slits ( 5 a ) in the marginal region of label ( 5 ), such that its closed portion is again placed on the one side of label ( 5 ) and wherein the loop is afterwards tightened by pulling thread ( 3 ). The invention also relates to an infusion bag ( 1 ), in particular for tea, as well as a label ( 5 ) for an infusion bag.

1 . Infusion bag ( 1 ), in particular for tea, at the head region ( 6 ) of which a thread ( 3 ) with label ( 5 ), which serves for handling and/or information, is attached, characterized in 
 that thread ( 3 ) having its free thread end ( 3   e ) placed on the one side of label ( 5 ) is pulled in a loop ( 3   f ) through label ( 5 ), that loop ( 3   f ) is introduced from the other side into two slits ( 5   a ) in the marginal region of label ( 5 ), such that its closed portion is placed on the one side of label ( 5 ), and the loop is tightened by pulling thread ( 3 ).    
     
     
         2 . Label ( 5 ) for an infusion bag ( 1 ), in particular for tea, which is attached to thread ( 3 ) by a loop ( 3   f ), which is formed by a free thread end ( 3   e ), pulled through tab ( 5 ) from one side of label ( 5 ) and introduced in two slits ( 5   a ) from the other side of label ( 5 ), such that the closed portion of loop ( 3   f ) is placed on the one side of label ( 5 ) and the loop is tightened by pulling thread ( 3 ).  
     
     
         3 . Method for attaching a label ( 5 ) to the free end ( 3   e ) of a thread ( 3 ), the other end of which is attached or attachable to an infusion bag ( 1 ), in particular for tea, characterized in 
 that thread ( 3 ) having its free thread end ( 3   e ) placed on the one side of label ( 5 ) is taken by a needle penetrating label ( 5 ) and is pulled in a loop ( 3   f ) through lab ( 5 ), that loop ( 3   f ) is then introduced from the other side in two slits ( 5   a ) in the marginal region of label ( 5 ), such that its closed portion is again placed on the one side of label ( 5 ) and that the loop is afterwards tightened by pulling thread ( 3 ).    
     
     
         4 . Method according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the method is carried out continuously.
