Pack, for food products in particular
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The invention relates to a pack, for food products in particular, with at least one longitudinal seam in the form of a glued seam, at least part of which can be pulled apart to open the pack. 
     Such packs are regularly expected to fulfil the conflicting requirements that the glued seam on the one hand has to provide a reliable closure but on the other hand is supposed to be easy to pull apart to open the pack. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The purpose of the invention is therefore to create a pack that meets both requirements. 
     The way the invention achieves this purpose is to interrupt the glued seam by sections with diminished adhesive power. 
     Reliable closure of the pack is achieved in the areas with full adhesive power, while pack opening is facilitated by the interruptions. 
     It is very advantageous if in accordance with the invention hotmelt is provided as the gluing agent and if an agent is applied to sections of one of the two sides of the glued seam, to which the hotmelt only adheres very slightly, if at all. This agent is applied as a final layer when the packaging material is printed, so that an additional operation is not needed. 
     It has proved to be very advantageous if in accordance with this invention the agent that diminishes the adhesive power is applied in a zig-zag pattern. 
     In a further embodiment of the invention the hotmelt can also be applied in spots. 
     It has also proved to be a very good solution if the pack is designed to be a cone sleeve for ice cream or a similar product and the longitudinal seam is only provided with the sections to diminish the adhesive power at its top end, i.e. towards the opening of the pack. 
     When such a cone sleeve is opened, it is practical if only the top section is removed and the lower section remains in place for the consumer to hold until most of the contents have been eaten. This assignment is carried out extremely effectively with the present invention. 
    
    
     BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The drawing shows one embodiment of the invention, in this case a pack designed as a cone sleeve which has been torn open to some extent. 
    
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     1 is a blank from which a pack 2 in the shape of a cone sleeve is wound, into which an ice cream cone (not illustrated) can be inserted. 
     The pack is formed along a longitudinal seam 3, for the production of which spots of hotmelt 5 are applied to the inside 4 of the longitudinal seam area of blank 1. This hotmelt can, however, also be applied in a continuous strip. 
     An agent 7, to which the hotmelt 5 only adheres very slightly, is applied to the longitudinal seam area of the outside 6. This agent 7 is applied in a zig-zag pattern, although it can also be applied in a different pattern that diminishes the adhesion of the hotmelt.
