    Piping bag assembly, closing assembly, piping bag, and method
    The present invention relates to a piping bag assembly. It further relates to a closing assembly to be used in such a piping bag assembly. In addition, it also relates to a piping bag manufactured using the piping bag assembly and a corresponding method of assembly.
    Piping bags are well known in the art. For instance, WO 2007089138 A1 discloses a piping bag that can be used to dispense foodstuffs such as whipped cream. Such piping bag can for instance be used to decorate cakes. To that end, a user fills the piping bag with the foodstuffs to be dispensed. By squeezing the piping bag, a suitable amount of foodstuffs can be dispensed.
    The known piping bag comprises an elongated tapered bag having a first opening for receiving foodstuffs and a second opening, smaller than the first opening, for dispensing the foodstuffs. A nozzle can be attached near the second opening. Such nozzle can define a particular opening or circumferential edge to achieve different shapes of the dispensed foodstuffs. To connect the nozzle to the piping bags, several techniques are known. For instance, US 3847523 A discloses a piping bag wherein a coupling element is placed through the first opening. The coupling element partially protrudes from the second opening, thereby revealing a screw thread onto which different nozzles can be mounted.
    The present invention relates in particular to applications in which only a very limited amount of foodstuffs is to be dispensed. For instance, chocolate can be dispensed to form letters or other decorations. For these kinds of applications, cornet-shaped bags are typically used. These bags are a particular kind of piping bags that are normally made from baking paper, which is folded into a cornet shape. After folding, the tip is cut at a desired height. By choosing the cutting line, the size of the dispensing opening can be defined.
    The abovementioned cornet-shaped bags are, compared to regular piping bags, relatively small. Typically, a cornet-shaped bag has a length of about 5 to 25 centimeter with a dispensing opening in between 0.05 and 0.15 centimeter. This small size allows a user to use a pencil-type grip to hold the bag. Consequently, a user can accurately dispense very small amounts of foodstuff. Such accuracy cannot be achieved using the abovementioned regular piping bags, of which the size of the bag is too large to allow a pencil-type grip and of which the dispensing opening is too large to accurately dispense the foodstuffs. A drawback of the cornet-shaped bags made from baking paper is that these bags require some skill to make. Moreover, once made and used, the bags have to be discarded as these bags cannot be properly closed for storage.
    It is an object of the present invention to provide an alternative to the known cornet-shaped bags in which the abovementioned drawbacks do not occur or at least to a lesser extent.
    According to a first aspect of the present invention, this object is achieved with a piping bag assembly comprising an elongated tapered bag having a first opening for receiving foodstuffs and a second opening, smaller than the first opening, for dispensing the foodstuffs. The assembly further comprises an elongated tapered nozzle having a dispensing end and a mounting end, wherein a cross section of the nozzle near the mounting end is larger than the second opening. The assembly additionally comprises an elongated nozzle closing element that comprises a cavity for receiving the dispensing end of the nozzle for closing the nozzle, wherein the nozzle closing element can be or is coupled to the nozzle such that longitudinal axes of the nozzle and the nozzle closing element are substantially parallel to each other. The nozzle closing element fits entirely through the second opening along its longitudinal direction.
    According to the present invention, the piping bag assembly can be assembled to form a closeable piping bag by placing the nozzle and nozzle closing element, coupled to each other, through the second opening via the first opening, and by subsequently fixing the nozzle near its mounting end in the tapered bag by pulling the nozzle closing element.
    The applicant has found that mounting the nozzle in the tapered bag is made more convenient if the nozzle closing element is coupled thereto. Without being bound by theory, a possible explanation could be that the center of mass of the nozzle - nozzle closing element combination is such that the combination falls down through the tapered bag in such a manner that the nozzle closing element protrudes through the second opening first. Without the nozzle closing element being coupled to the nozzle, there is an increased risk of the nozzle rotating inside the tapered bag while it is falling downward. Due to the fact that the nozzle has a diameter near its mounting end that is larger than the second opening, it will then not protrude through the second opening causing inconvenience for a user. Even if the nozzle were to protrude through the second opening, for instance because it did not rotate, a user would still have to grip the nozzle near its dispensing end to pull the nozzle in order to fix the nozzle tightly in the tapered bag. Such action is not desired during the preparation of foodstuffs, wherein hygiene is of utmost importance.
    According to the present invention, the nozzle closing element allows for the nozzle to be closed, thereby making it possible to store a filled piping bag for later use. In addition, the nozzle closing element facilitates placing the nozzle in the piping bag.
    The tapered bag may have a length in between 5 and 25 centimeter. This length allows a user to use the so-called pencil grip to dispense the foodstuffs. The tapered nozzle may have a length in between 1 and 5 centimeter. The nozzle should not be too small as this would jeopardize a proper attachment in the piping bag. However, if the nozzle is too large, it becomes increasingly difficult to dispense the foodstuffs. This is mainly due to the fact that the nozzle is typically made of inelastic and/or hard material. The part of the piping bag of which the wall is adjacent to the nozzle cannot easily be emptied by means of squeezing.
    The dispensing end of the nozzle may have an opening in between 0.05 and 0.25 centimeter, more preferably in between 0.07 and 0.15 centimeter, and even more preferably in between 0.08 and 0.10 centimeter. Such openings allow the fabrication of highly detailed structures using the dispensed foodstuffs, such as writing letters using dispensed chocolate.
    The nozzle closing element may have a length in between 1.0 and 4.0 centimeter. The length of the nozzle closing element should be sufficient to enable a user to grip the nozzle closing element in order to attach the nozzle in the piping bag. A region of the tapered bag near its second opening may be complementary shaped to a region of the nozzle near its mounting end. For instance, the region of the tapered bag near its second opening and the region of the nozzle near its mounting end can both be cone shaped. Furthermore, the region of the tapered bag near its second opening may taper according to a first tapering angle that is substantially equal to a tapering angle of the region of the nozzle near its mounting end. The first tapering angle may be within the range from 5 to 15 degrees, preferably within the range from 7.5 to 12.5 degrees, and more preferably within the range from 9 to 11 degrees.
    The nozzle may comprise two tapered elements that are fixedly connected to each other along the longitudinal direction of the nozzle. Moreover, the first element may be tapered according to the first tapering angle, and a tapering angle of the second element may be smaller than the first tapering angle. The second element may comprise the dispensing end. The tapering angle of the second element may be within the range from 0.5 to 5 degrees, preferably within the range from 1 to 3 degrees, and more preferably within the range from 1.5 to 2.5 degrees. Moreover, the first and second elements of the nozzle may be cone shaped. The first element should be attached to the tapered bag, whereas the second element should be or can be attached to the nozzle closing element. The second element may have a length equal to for instance 10 to 40 percent of the length of the nozzle. In an example, the length of the second element is in between 0.4 and 0.8 cm. This provides sufficient length to couple the nozzle closing element, whereas it also provides an alignment aid when dispensing the foodstuffs.
    The cavity in the nozzle closing element may be tapered. A tapering angle of the cavity is preferably substantially equal to a tapering angle of the nozzle near its dispensing end, for instance substantially equal to a tapering angle of the second element of the nozzle. Moreover, the cavity and the nozzle near its dispensing end may be complementary shaped, preferably cone shaped.
    The nozzle closing element may comprise two elements that are fixedly connected to each other along the longitudinal direction, wherein the cavity is accommodated in the first element, and wherein the second element is flattened along the longitudinal axis of the nozzle closing element. The flattening of the second element allows a user to more easily grip the nozzle closing element such that more force may be applied for attaching the nozzle in the tapered bag and for attaching the nozzle closing element to the nozzle.
    At least one of the nozzle and the nozzle closing element may be made from material, preferably slightly flexible material, allowing the nozzle and nozzle closing element to be coupled to each other by first arranging the dispensing end in the cavity and by subsequently rotating the nozzle and nozzle closing element relative to each other, preferably causing a deformation of at least one of the nozzle and nozzle closing element. Preferably, the amount of force required to separate the nozzle and nozzle closing element increases due to the rotation. Alternatively, the nozzle and the nozzle closing element may comprise mutually corresponding screw threads. The present invention does not exclude other coupling means for coupling the nozzle closing element and nozzle.
    The nozzle closing element and the nozzle may be two separate elements that can be coupled to each other by arranging the dispensing end of the nozzle in the cavity of the nozzle closing element. Alternatively, the nozzle closing element and the nozzle may be fixedly connected to each other thereby forming a single element. This element may comprise a tearing line or perforation line along which the nozzle closing element and nozzle can be separated. The cavity may be arranged in the nozzle closing element on a side opposite to the tearing or perforation line along the longitudinal direction of the nozzle closing element. Hence, when used for the first time, a user arranges the single element in the tapered bag, with the nozzle closing element facing the second opening. Prior to dispensing foodstuffs, the user may remove the nozzle closing element, after which the dispensing end of the nozzle becomes accessible. The region of the dispensing end directly adjacent the opening is preferably not attached to the nozzle closing element when nozzle and nozzle closing element are still coupled to prevent deformation of this opening when the nozzle and nozzle closing element are separated from each other. The single element may be integrally manufactured. The nozzle and the nozzle closing element may have been formed by injection molding.
    The nozzle and/or nozzle closing element may be manufactured from at least one of the materials from the group consisting of thermoplastic materials, such as Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polycarbonate, Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Acrylate, Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), Styrene-butadiene (SB), or Polyamide (PA), PP or PE based thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), and PP or PE based thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV).
    The nozzle and nozzle closing element may have been formed by first forming the nozzle by injection molding using a first material having a first color and allowing the nozzle to at least partially solidify, and to subsequently form the nozzle closing element by injection molding using a second material having a second color around the dispensing end of the nozzle. The first and second materials may be different and/or the first and second colors may be different. In this process, materials should be combined that make no or little chemical bonds between nozzle and nozzle closing element. Examples of suitable materials have been described above.
    Due to thermal shrinkage after manufacturing, the nozzle closing element will be tightly clamped on the nozzle to the extent that it is possible to pull the nozzle closing element while it is still coupled to the nozzle to properly fix the nozzle in the tapered bag. Due to the absence or small amount of chemical bonds between the nozzle and nozzle closing element, it is possible for a user to separate the nozzle closing element and the nozzle, for instance after fixing the nozzle in the tapered bag.
    To facilitate the arrangement of the nozzle in the tapered bag, the nozzle may comprise a mounting rim near its mounting end, wherein the mounting rim preferably comprises a radially protruding circumferential edge. Moreover, a wall thickness of the nozzle may be enlarged near the mounting rim to provide additional rigidity and shape stability.
    The tapered bag may be made from at least one of the materials from the group consisting of thermoplastic materials, such as Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or Polyamide (PA), PP or PE based thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), and PP or PE based thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV).
    According to a second aspect, the present invention provides a closing assembly for closing a tapered bag, comprising the nozzle and the nozzle closing element as defined above.
    According to a third aspect, the present invention provides a piping bag that comprises a tapered bag, a nozzle, and a nozzle closing element as defined above, wherein the nozzle is fixed in the tapered bag, and wherein the nozzle closing element closes the nozzle. Such piping bag may hold foodstuffs. Furthermore, such bag may be sealed near its first opening. This allows foodstuffs to be traded packaged in the piping bag according to the invention. For example, a piping bag may be sold that comprises chocolate. A user may heat the piping bag, for instance in a microwave oven, to heat the chocolate in order to reach a desired viscosity. After heating, the user may remove the nozzle closing element and dispense the chocolate.
    According to a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a piping bag, comprising providing the assembly as defined above, coupling the nozzle and the nozzle closing element if provided as separate elements, placing the coupled nozzle and nozzle closing element through the second opening via the first opening, and fixing the nozzle near its mounting end in the tapered bag by pulling the nozzle closing element.
    Next, the invention will be described in more detail referring to the appended drawings, wherein:
    Figure 1 illustrates a cornet-shaped bag that is being used for dispensing foodstuffs, wherein the user employs the so-called pencil grip;
    Figure 2 illustrates a tapered bag in accordance with the present invention;
    Figures 3A-3C illustrate three different embodiments of closing assemblies in accordance with the present invention; and
    Figures 4A-4C illustrate the tapered bag of figure 2 after the closing assemblies of figures 3A-3C, respectively, have been placed.
    In figure 1 a pencil grip is used to hold and squeeze a cornet-shaped bag 1 to dispense foodstuffs 2. As can be seen, a user’s hand 3 holds bag 1 similar to a pencil allowing foodstuffs 2 to be dispensed with high precision. It should be obvious to the skilled person that a pencil grip cannot be used, at least not as effectively, when bag 1 is too large. Flence, in the art a distinction is made between regular larger-sized piping bags that are used to dispense foodstuffs more coarsely, and cornet-shaped smaller-sized piping bags that are used to dispense foodstuffs with higher precision using the pencil grip.
    Figure 2 illustrates a tapered bag 100 that can be used in the piping bag assembly according to the present invention. Fiere, tapered bag 100 is shown in a condition of use wherein it has a conical shape with a first opening 101 on a top side, and a second opening 102 on a bottom side. As an example, bag 100 can be obtained from a tubular foil made from at least one of the materials from the group consisting of thermoplastic materials, such as Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or Polyamide (PA), PP or PE based thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), and PP or PE based thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV). The tubular foil is provided with a seam 103 to divide the tubular foil in tapered bags 100. Moreover, a tearing or perforation line may be formed in the tubular foil to allow the separation of bags thereby forming first opening 101. A similar tearing or perforation line may be formed near seam 103.
    Typically, bags 100 are provided on a roll, as illustrated on the right in figure 2 (not to scale). As can be seen, bags are connected at seam 103 and at the tearing or perforation line for forming first opening 101. Second opening 102 is normally formed only after separating a bag 100 from the roll. This can for instance be realized by a user cutting through bag 100 using conventional means, such as scissors.
    Tapered bag 100 may be characterized by a length, as indicated by arrow 104, and a tapering angle, as indicated by arrow 105. The tapering angle may be defined as the angle between an imaginary line 106, representing a central and/or axial line of tapered bag 100 that passes through second opening 102, and an edge of bag 100. For convenience, such angle is typically determined when bag 100 is in a state of use, for instance in a state wherein a nozzle protrudes through second opening 102. A typical length of bag 100 varies between 5 and 25 centimeter, whereas the tapering angle may be within the range from 5 to 15 degrees, preferably within the range from 7.5 to 12.5 degrees, and more preferably within the range from 9 to 11 degrees.
    Figures 3A-3C illustrate three different embodiments of closing assemblies that can be used with bag 100 to form a piping bag in accordance with the present invention. Figure 3 A illustrates a first embodiment of the closing assembly comprising a cone-shaped nozzle 110 and a nozzle closing element 115. Nozzle 110 comprises a first element 111 having a mounting rim 112 arranged near its top end, and a second element 113 having a dispensing end 114 at the bottom side.
    Nozzle closing element 115 comprises a first part 116 that is provided with a cavity for receiving dispensing end 114, and a second part 117 that is flattened to facilitate the griping of nozzle closing element 115.
    Dispensing end 114 defines a dispensing opening that may have a diameter in between 0.05 and 0.25 centimeter, more preferably in between 0.07 and 0.15 centimeter, and even more preferably in between 0.08 and 0.10 centimeter. Second element 113 may be cone-shaped characterized by a tapering angle within the range from 0.5 to 5 degrees, preferably within the range from 1 to 3 degrees, and more preferably within the range from 1.5 to 2.5 degrees. Here, the tapering angle may be defined as the angle between a central and/or axial line through second element 113 and an edge thereof.
    Tapered nozzle 110 may have a length in between 1 and 5 centimeter, wherein the length is measured along a central axis of nozzle 110. Nozzle closing element may have a length in between 1.0 and 4.0 centimeter, wherein a larger part is flattened. The cavity in first part 116 also may have cone shape. Furthermore, the tapering angle of this cone shape is substantially equal to the tapering angle of second element 113. This allows a cone-to-cone attachment, wherein nozzle closing element 115 is placed with its cavity over dispensing end 114, and at least partially over second element 113, and wherein nozzle closing element 115 and nozzle 110 are subsequently mutually rotated about their longitudinal axis.
    Figure 4A illustrates how the closing assembly of figure 3A can be used in combination with bag 100 of figure 2 for forming a closeable piping bag. Prior to arranging nozzle 110 in bag 100 it is coupled to nozzle closing element 115. This closing assembly is then, in a coupled state, inserted into first opening 101 of bag 100. It will then fall downward and will protrude partially through second opening 102. More in particular, the size of second opening 102 prohibits nozzle 110 to completely pass through second opening 102, unlike nozzle closing element 115. A user may then firmly pull on nozzle closing element 115 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of nozzle 110 and away from bag 100. This will result in mounting rim 112 firmly attaching itself in the walls of bag 100, as illustrated in figure 4A. A user may then fill bag 100 with foodstuffs through first opening 101, remove nozzle closing element 115, and start dispensing foodstuffs for instance by using the pencil grip illustrated in figure 1. After use, a user may close bag 100 by using nozzle closing element 115.
    Figures 3B and 3C, and corresponding figures 4B and 4C, respectively, illustrate alternatives to the closing assembly of figure 3A. For instance, the closing assembly illustrated in figures 3B and 4B comprises a nozzle 210 comprising a first element 211 with a mounting rim 212, and a second element 213. Nozzle closing element 215 comprises a first part 216 having a cavity, and a second part 217. Unlike the closing assembly of figure 3A, nozzle 210 and nozzle closing element 215 are not provided as two separate items, but as an integral part. A perforation or tearing line, or other weakening structure, is provided near the dispensing end of second element 213.
    After the closing assembly is placed in bag 100, as illustrated in figure 4B, a user may, prior to use, remove nozzle closing element 215. This will open up the dispensing opening of second element 213. After use, a user may close bag 100 using nozzle closing element 215, wherein it is noted that the cavity is arranged in the bottom part of nozzle closing element 215, as illustrated in figure 4B.
    The closing assembly illustrated in figures 3C and 4C show a further alternative to the closing assembly of figure 3 A. This closing assembly comprises a nozzle 310 comprising a first element 311 with a mounting rim 312, and a second element 313. Nozzle closing element 315 comprises a first part 316 having a cavity, and a second part 317. Unlike the closing assembly of figure 3A, nozzle 310 and nozzle closing element 315 are not provided as two separate items, but as a single part. In this case, nozzle closing element 315 is formed by injection around a part of second element 313 in such manner that a user may still separate nozzle 310 and nozzle closing element 315 by applying sufficient force. This can be achieved by combing materials for the nozzle and nozzle closing element that make no or little chemical bonds between nozzle and nozzle closing element.
    After the closing assembly is placed in bag 100, as illustrated in figure 4C, a user may, prior to use, remove nozzle closing element 315. This will open up the dispensing opening of second element 313. After use, a user may close bag 100 using nozzle closing element 315.
    In the description above, various embodiments have been described to illustrate the inventive concept of the present invention. Flowever, a skilled person will readily understand that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments but that various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the invention that is defined by the appended claims.
