A container for dialysis concentrates, in particular acidic dry concentrates, has integral supporting elements. When these dry concentrates are dissolved directly by a dialysis machine to form liquid concentrates, the container must provide a volume of 4-12 liters. To impart the required stability to the container, the container includes the integral supporting elements, which manifest their supporting function only when the container is used on the dialysis machine.

A flexible container (10.1; 10.2) has sealed connection to a process unit (20). A vacuum is applied to chambers (12, 22) opening into one another. A receptacle for a support apparatus (30.1; 30.2; 30.3) or the support apparatus (30.2) itself is arranged in or on the wall (14.1; 14.3) of the container (10.1; 10.2). A filling device (30) and a filling method for such a container are also provided.

Disclosed is an airtight container having a deformable cover unit or a deformable container unit, which ensures easy maintenance of the cover unit and allows the cover unit to be easily used with a large-capacity fixed container unit, or which includes an expandable accommodating space or an expandable inlet to accommodate various sizes of storage items therein in an airtight manner. The airtight container includes a deformable cover unit for useable with a fixed container unit. Alternatively, the airtight container includes first and second frames pivotably connected to each other so as to be selectively coupled to or come into contact with each other in order to seal a contact or coupling portion therebetween, and a deformable container unit disposed over the frames and configured to provide an accommodating space for a storage item therein. The first and second frames are disposed along the inlet rim of the container unit.

A packaging bag has a bag body on a paper basis, which has front walls that lie opposite one another, side walls arranged between the front walls, and longitudinal edges that connect the front walls with the side walls. A material section that forms the assigned front wall and a material section that forms the assigned side wall, are connected with one another on the longitudinal edges to form a reinforcement fold that runs in the longitudinal direction, by way of a fixation layer that borders on each longitudinal edge. The fixation layer assigned to at least one of the reinforcement folds is an adhesive layer, wherein regions of the bag body between the reinforcement folds are free of an adhesive layer.

A bag assembly for a utility machine includes a bag for collecting lawn debris and a frame supporting the bag. The frame defines a mouth configured to receive the lawn debris from the utility machine. The frame is expandable to vary a size of the mouth.

A bag has a front panel, a back panel, and a gusset, each having a thermoplastic ply at its interior face. The interior face of the gusset is thermally welded to the interior face of the front panel and back panel at respective joins from which extend respective panel extensions which are also thermally welded to each other at a third join. Extensions of the gusset cover parts of the respective panels and are thermally welded to them. Other parts of the panel extensions are not covered by the gusset extensions and are welded to each other to form the third join. The extensions can form a handle part for the bag.

A reinforcement for a bag or a sack is described. The reinforcement has an elongate body with a thinner mid-section than its ends. The reinforcement also has a locking clip slidingly engaged with the second middle portion. It is configured to slide in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis from a first position, where the locking clip is not aligned with the bag fold line and where the bag and the elongate body are permitted to fold along the bag fold line, to a second position, where the locking clip is substantially aligned with the bag fold line and the body fold line, where the locking clip substantially prevents the bag and the elongate body from folding and substantially maintains the bag in an open position.
