Definitions

  • the securing means may comprise a cable-operated securing means. Any other desired and appropriate type of securing means may however be employed.
  • the container apparatus may include constraint means for constraining sides of the outer bag, the securing means being attached to the constraint means.
  • the container apparatus may then be one in which the constraint means comprises a plurality of spaced apart horizontally extending rib members, and in which the securing means is attached to the lowermost one of the rib members.
  • the lowermost one of the rib members is positioned substantially adjacent the bottom of the outer bag.
  • the rib members may be located in sleeves attached to the outside of the outer bag.
  • the sleeves will normally be made from the same material from which the outer bag is made.
  • the container apparatus may be one in which the base of the frame means is square, and in which there are four of the support members, there being one of the support members positioned at each one of the corners of the base.
  • the frame means may include an upper frame portion connecting the tops of the support members together.
  • the upper frame portion may be hollow.
  • the support members and the upper frame portion when it is employed will be of square cross sectional shape.
  • Other cross sectional shapes such for example as a rectangular or circular cross sectional shape may be employed if desired.
  • the outer bag may be made of a canvas material or a plastics material.
  • the plastics material may be polyvinyl chloride. Other materials may be employed and the outer bag may be made in any desired colour or combination of colours.
  • the frame means 10 comprises a base 14 and support members 16 which upstand from the base 14.
  • the lifting means 12 is such as to raise the entire bottom 8 of the outer bag 4 towards the top part 11 of the frame means 30 whereby the raised outer bag 4 is able to receive an inner bag 18 shown schematically in Figure 2.
  • the inner bag 18 has outlet means 20 for enabling fluid material in the inner bag 18 to be controllably removed as desired.
  • the inner bag 18 acts as a liner bag which can be disposed of after use, the inner bag 18 thus preventing the fluid material from contaminating the outer bag 4 and the frame means 10. This in turn avoids the need to wash the outer bag 4 and the frame means 10 and this is advantageous since the washing of the outer bag 4 and the frame means 10 is time consuming and often impractical at some locations where the contents of the inner bag 18 are obtained.
  • the bottom 8 of the outer bag 4 is substantially parallel to the base 14 of the frame means 10 in the raised position of the outer bag 4. During lifting of the outer bag 4 from the position shown in Figure 1 to the position shown in Figure 2, the bottom 8 of the outer bag 4 remains substantially parallel to the base 14 of the frame means 10.
  • each counter-weight 24 will move upwards in its support member 16 from the position shown in Figure 4 to the position shown in Figure 3.
  • each cable 22 passes through a hole 34 at the top of its support member 16.
  • the reason for this is to facilitate discharge of all the fluid material contents from the inner bag 18 when it is inside the outer bag 4. More specifically, when discharging the last remaining amount of the fluid material, the heavier counter-weight 24 on the side opposite the discharge side (that is opposite the outlet means 20) will automatically raise that side of the outer bag 4 and therefore the inner bag 18 and cause the fluid material to flow towards the outlet means 20.
  • the base 14 will usually be in the form of a pallet so that the container apparatus 2 can be moved by a forklift truck. Other types of base 14 can however be employed.
