A container includes a robust semi-rigid main bag, a tarpaulin top section, and ties on the main bag. The main bag has a base and side panels for containing bulk garden products. The top section engages an upper portion of the main bag and has an opening. When open, it enables access into the main bag. When selectively closed, the top section protects the bulk garden products against outside elements. The ties can selectively tie down the top section and enable clear and ready access into the main bag containing the bulk garden products. Ties located about midway down the main bag, after it has been emptied of about half the bulk garden products, can also selectively tie down the upper portion for continued clear and ready access to any bulk garden products that then remain in the main bag.

The present disclosure provides a material feeding bag which comprises an inner bag. The inner bag has: an inner bag upper port portion, an inner bag main receiving portion and an inner bag lower port portion. The inner bag upper port portion has an upper port; the inner bag main receiving portion is connected to a lower end of the inner bag upper port portion along an axial direction; the inner bag lower port portion is connected to a lower end of the inner bag main receiving portion along the axial direction and has a lower port for controllable communication with an external hopper entrance. It doe not need to shear the material feeding bag by a scissors when materials is fed, so that it avoids generation of metal debris, and the mating and feeding material operation is fast and simple, and the working environment for an operator is improved.

A fixing clamp (2) for discharge outlet of intermediate bulk containers is disclosed. The discharge outlet (1) comprises a flange edge (3), a discharge connecting port (5) and a discharge outlet clamping part (4). The discharge outlet clamping part (4) is a polygonal structure. The fixing clamp (2) comprises a fixing clamp body, a clamping portion (8), elastic guiding ribs (7) and anti-release portion (9). A passage for accommodating the discharge outlet clamping part (4) is formed in the middle part of the fixing clamp body. The clamping portion (8) is used for clamping the side surface of the discharge outlet clamping part (4) when the fixing clamp (2) and the discharge outlet (1) have been assembled. The elastic guiding ribs (7) will be squeezed by the side surface of the discharge outlet clamping part (4) to deform When the leading-in surfaces of the elastic guiding ribs (7) contact with the side surface of the discharge outlet clamping part (4). The elastic guiding ribs (7) restore elastically and the anti-release portion (9) are engaged with the side surface of the discharge outlet clamping part (4) to prevent the fixing clamp (2) from being separated front the discharge outlet (1) after the fixing clamp (2) and the discharge outlet (1) have been assembled. The fixing clamp (2) can be transversely pushed in to be assembled with the discharge outlet (1). The fixing clamp has low requirements for assembly accuracy, and is favorable for saving cost and increasing efficiency.

Systems and methods are provided for safely and efficiently transporting granular material. In one embodiment, a container for granular material is provided. The container can have a top plate and a bottom plate that are coupled to one another via one or more high-strength fabric sleeves. The bottom plate can include a discharge valve for discharging the granular material in the container. The container can also include a discharge bladder that, when inflated, biases granular material within the container toward the discharge valve. The container can also include at least one barrier positioned proximate the discharge valve such that the barrier prevents at least a portion of the discharge bladder from entering the discharge valve. The barrier can allow sand or other granular material to pass through the barrier and exit through the discharge valve.

A flexible storage device for packaging particulate solid substances or liquids, having a bottom and lateral walls defining a storage volume, includes: hanging loops toward the top intended for lifting an assembly including: a flexible external wrapper forming at least the four lateral walls of the storage volume, a flexible tubular internal wrapper secured to the four lateral walls of the external wrapper, dividing the storage volume into five vertical compartments including a central compartment defined by the interior volume of the internal wrapper, and four peripheral compartments defined between the lateral walls of the external wrapper and the lateral walls of the internal wrapper. The internal wrapper has an upper edge defining the upper mouth of the central compartment and a lower edge defining the lower mouth of the central compartment. The upper edge of the internal wrapper is at or below the upper edge of the lateral walls.

The invention is directed to a bag for transporting and handling powdery bulk materials, especially inorganic or organic pigments. Further, the present invention relates to a method for opening the tubular drain of such a bag, as well as to the use of the bag for transporting and handling powdery bulk materials.

Described are liners for bulk containers that are abuse resistant. The liners include at least one sidewall. The sidewall includes at least an exterior ply and an interior ply. Optionally, the sidewall may include at least one intermediate ply. One of the plies includes a first polyolefin-silicone copolymer. The adhesion between the plies is from 0 g/25.4 cm to 50 g/25.4 cm (0 g/in to 50 g/in).

A fabric bulk bag and a method for constructing the same, the bag including a continuous sidewall, a top portion, and a bottom, all defining a bulk storage space therein; the bottom further comprising eight sides which define an octagonal shape having an enlarged footprint so that the bag wall is sewn to the bottom in less time than a round shaped bag, yet when filled stands more upright with less tendency to lean than the current square shaped bags thereby providing a safer more dependable stacking bulk bag. In the method of producing the fabric bulk bag, the bag is constructed in less time than the prior art round bottom bags, uses less wall fabric than prior art square bottomed bags and when constructed and filled, supports itself more stable on a floor or pallet because it provides substantially more base for the product to rest on. In other embodiments, the bag would be multi-sided with greater than four sides.

An expandable and configurable enclosure that is configured to be envelop at least one object to provide protection thereof wherein said portable enclosure is configured to be assembled into a plurality of alternate shapes and sizes. The portable enclosure of the present invention includes a body wherein the body includes a plurality of panels. The panels of the body are manufactured from a durable flexible material such as but not limited to nylon. The panels include perimeter seams wherein each of the perimeter seams is configured with a fastener. The fasteners are configured to facilitate the operable coupling of a plurality of panels to form a body having an interior volume suitable to accommodate therein a desired object or plurality of objects. The assembled body of the present invention includes at least one end cap member operable to provide access to the interior volume of the body.
