Definitions

  • This invention relates to flexible containers.
  • this invention relates to bags used for storage and transportation of building materials like sand, gravel cement and the like.
  • Builder bags are typically used for filling sand, aggregates and gravel. In some countries, typically, the U.K. these materials can not be dumped on ground and hence they are stored and transported in these bags. Each bag is typically of 1000 Kg.
  • the use of flexible bags made of woven fabric with some reinforcement material PP/HDPE/LDPE/Metallic wires are known in the prior art.
  • a prior art builder bag are substantially square in open cross section and are provided with loops at the four top comers.
  • the bag has a flat bottom suitably reinforced to withstand the designed load and four side walls.
  • the loops are hooked to a cranes lifting hook and used to lift and shift a loaded bag.
  • These bags are invariably loaded on wooden or polymer pallets, as this facilitates lifting and shifting at a later stage, by using fork-lift trucks.
  • Such bags are loaded on flatbed trucks along with pallets and are delivered to a building site where the unloading is done normally by fork-lift trucks.
  • These pallets are expensive as they are provided with fork-lift tine entry access on at least two sides to facilitate easy handling and storage.
  • the pallets are made of members having high cross sectional area to withstand storage loads and wear and tear encountered in rough and often careless handling, adding to their cost. Many of the pallets are also damaged and at times not returned to the original owner. The cost of a pallet is many times higher than the cost of a builder bag. This led to the development of Tunnel lift bags as these bags could be transported without pallets in a truck and unloaded at the site by using standard fork-lift trucks.
  • the tunnel lift bags have tunnels made of fabrics on two sides of the bag in addition to the four loops on the top comers. These loops are slung on to a cranes hook and used for lifting where as the side tunnels are used by a fork lift truck, as a tine entry access for handling the bags.
  • This design eliminates the use of pallets for fork lift handling but the problem is that the tunnel has reinforcement only at the edges and the center of the tunnel is not strong enough. This results in tearing off the tunnels when the fork lift tine is entering the tunnels as the tunnel flap is not in a fully open position and may accidentally tear off in the middle.
  • delta is used to indicate a three sided triangular shape, similar to the shape of a flap of an envelope.
  • One of the objects of this invention is to provide a flexible lift bag that does not require a pallet for storing and handling.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a flexible lift bag that has a set of lift loops and tunnels suitable for use either with a crane or a fork lift track.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a flexible lift bag that has a set of loops or tunnels which are easily hooked to a crane hook and to a fork lift tine.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a flexible lift bag that can be lifted and positioned by a fork lift truck operator without the use of additional man power.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a flexible lift bag that is simple in construction.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a flexible lift bag that is robust.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a flexible lift bag that circumvents the problems encountered in opening of a closed up side tunnel.
  • a builder bag for carrying building material said bag comprising:
  • a - U shaped fabric element comprising two side wall panels and a base panel; said U element defining delta shaped panels formed by folding over the side wall panels at top edges and attaching the tip of the delta panels to the side wall panels, defining a triangular profiled tunnel in the form of a delta envelope flap;
  • the panels are made of woven fabrics of polypropylene, high density polyethylene or a combination thereof.
  • the reinforced woven fabric strips are provided with 60 to 100 ends of reinforcement material along the length of the strip.
  • the reinforcement material is selected from a group of materials consisting of polypropylene, high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene and metallic wires.
  • first reinforcement strip and the second reinforcement strips are continuous.
  • the loops are a continuity of said second reinforcement strips.
  • Figure 1 is the perspective view of the builder bag in accordance with this invention
  • Figure 2 is the side perspective view of the builder bag of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is another side perspective view of the builder bag of Figure 1;
  • Figure 4 is top perspective view of the builder bag of Figure 1;
  • the builder bag of this invention is indicated generally by the reference numeral 10 as seen in figure 1 of the accompanying drawings.
  • the builder bag 10 is provided with a U shaped fabric element consisting of two side wall panels 12, base panel 16, and two other side panels 14.
  • the U element and side wall panels are made of polypropylene, high density polyethylene or a combination thereof;
  • the U element in its assembled configuration defines a top edge 18, on folding over the said side wall 12 on two opposite sides.
  • This U element edge is cut forming a V shape, defining a triangular profiled tunnel in the form of a delta envelope flap 28.
  • the other two side wall panels 14 being stitched to the U element defining top edges 20 at a lower level than edge 18;
  • the U element consisting of side wall panels 12 and base panel 16 and said two other side wall panel 14 in their assembled operative configuration defines a carrying means 26; said carrying means 26 being the receptacle for receiving the material to be loaded.
  • the builder bag is further provided with reinforced woven fabric strip 22 having 60 to 100 ends of reinforcement material running along the length of the strip.
  • the reinforcement material could be PP / HDPE / LDPE/ LLDPE/ Nylon/ Metallic Wires and the like.
  • the strip 22 is stitched on top of the U element at the V formation and along the lower half of side wall panel 12 to make the triangular profiled tunnel 28 stiff and retain its shape even after repeated and prolonged use.
  • the builder bag is further provided at least four loops 24 made of reinforced fabric strip material at the four corners defined by the upper edges 18 and 20 of the side panels 12 and 14.
