A lifting assembly and method for a flexible bag includes one or more lift members, wherein each lift member is coupled to a layer of material, e.g., a fabric layer. The fabric layer can be coupled to a flexible bag wherein the fabric layer is an intermediate layer between the lift member and the flexible bag. The fabric layer can be heat fused or otherwise coupled to a bag without stitching or sewing, which eliminates the creation of sew or stitch holes that breach a containment area of the bag and which can weaken the bag fabric. The one or more lift members, however, can be sewn or stitched to one or more intermediate layers.

A self-funneling flexible container may be used with a storage and transportation system to provide an efficient, effective and cost-efficient transfer of material to, from or about a site, for example, a hydrocarbon exploration, recovery, production or operation site. The self-funneling flexible container may comprise one or more bands about the bottom or the bottom and one or more sides of the self-funneling flexible container. The bands have an elasticity such that the weight of material disposed in the self-funneling flexible container transitions the bands to an expanded position. When the material is discharged, the bands transition to a contracted position to form a funnel or chute so that all material may be efficiently discharged. As the funnel or chute is only formed at discharge, the self-funneling flexible container may store more material than traditional rigid containers.

Provided is a device and method for containing hazardous waste, including a container for hazardous waste, comprising a hangable bag having an interior volume, the hangable bag being constructed at least in part of collapsible material and configured to be lifted and configured to support an interior bladder, and the interior volume being variable; and an interior bladder, the interior bladder connectable with a through port to a lid.

A hand-held lift loop assembly tester apparatus and method tests peel strength of a heat seal connection between a lift loop patch and a bulk bag body as an indicator of shear strength of the connection and whether the bag will pass industry safety lifting requirements. A lifting platform of the hand loop tester is inserted between the patch and the bag body in an unsealed area and measures the amount of peel and thus the peel strength of the heat seal bond or connection at the edges or sides of the unsealed area. If the peel strength is adequate, this is a reliable indicator that the shear strength of the bond or connection is also adequate and that the bag will meet the current industry required 5 to 1 safety lifting requirements.

The invention described herein generally pertains to a system and method related to a hermetic seal assembly used with a bag to provide a hermetic seal for the bag that can be opened and closed while maintaining the hermetic seal for the bag and materials stored therein. The hermetic seal assembly can include a lid and a collar, wherein the collar can be releasably affixed to the bag or integrated into an opening of the bag. The lid can include a sampling port and a corresponding removeable cap.

An apparatus that provides a durable, reusable device with handles and adjustable straps and connectors, which may be padded internally, the external layer made of water-shedding or water-proof fabric, and thus able to effectively secure for transport a wide range of large, heavy or awkward items, without requiring a pre-cut or custom fit. The invention allows for a multiplicity of configurations and sizes, providing a virtually universal protective bag, with adjustable straps and connectors, and multiple built-in handles, to safely and securely transport any type of furnishing item, including but not limited to appliances, beds, sofas, loveseats, tables, shelves, entertainment centers, cabinets, dressers, and armoires.

The device relates to transportation and storage of bulk cargoes and comprises a vessel with upper charging opening and lower discharging opening, bearing framework and discharging mechanism, the device being further provided with soft sling load distribution ring, which passes through additional external loops of the main slings and alternately through additional loops along the upper perimeter of the cylinder, which, in turn, are embodied in the form of the load distribution triangle. The device provides improving convenience of handling multi-tonnage bulk cargoes as well as improving container reliability in use.

Disclosed herein is an overlap-structured container bag having an inner bag inserted into an outer bag. In the overlap-structured container bag comprises: (A1) weaving fabric used for a container bag of a hollow structure while a plurality of vertical reinforcing portions are formed; (A2) cutting container bag fabric in unit length; (A3) forming at least one of the lateral reinforcing portion on the inner bag when either one of the upper or lower portion of the cut container bag is selected as the inner bag; (A4) placing the inner bag into the outer bag by turning the open end of the outer bag inside out when the other one where the lateral reinforcing portion is not formed is selected as the outer bag.

Disclosed herein is an insert-structured container bag having an inner bag inserted into an outer bag. In the insert-structured container bag having an inner bag inserted into an outer bag according to an aspect of the present invention, the inner bag includes one or more lateral reinforcing portions formed by folding the inner bag; the outer bag includes vertical reinforcing portions formed on the respective side surfaces of the outer bag, lifting loops coupled to the tops of the vertical reinforcing portions, and a connection portion passed through the lifting loops, and the lateral reinforcing portions are formed by folding the inner bag outward in a lateral direction, and are disposed in a space between the inner bag and the outer bag.

An improved bulk bag for containing dry bulk, granular, and/or pulverized materials designed to prevent dust cloud escape and migration during discharge/emptying of the materials in bulk bag using an integrated dust barrier skirt affixed to the exterior of the bulk bag and telescopable to create a dust cloud curtain prior to content discharge.
