BULK BAG HAVING A MULTI-SIDED SHAPED BOTTOM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240034514 titled 'BULK BAG HAVING A MULTI-SIDED SHAPED BOTTOM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a fabric bulk bag and a method for constructing the same. The bag has a continuous sidewall, a top portion, and a bottom, which together define a bulk storage space. The bottom of the bag is octagonal in shape, providing an enlarged footprint that allows for quicker sewing of the bag wall. When filled, the bag stands more upright and has less tendency to lean compared to square-shaped bags, making it safer and more dependable for stacking.

  • The bag has a continuous sidewall, top portion, and bottom, defining a bulk storage space.
  • The bottom of the bag is octagonal in shape, providing an enlarged footprint.
  • The octagonal shape allows for quicker sewing of the bag wall.
  • When filled, the bag stands more upright and has less tendency to lean.
  • The bag provides a safer and more dependable stacking bulk bag.
  • The method of producing the bag is faster than prior art round bottom bags.
  • The bag uses less wall fabric compared to prior art square bottomed bags.
  • The bag supports itself more stably on a floor or pallet due to its larger base.

Potential Applications: - Bulk storage and transportation of various materials such as grains, powders, chemicals, etc. - Industrial and agricultural sectors that require efficient and reliable storage solutions.

Problems Solved: - Quicker construction time compared to round bottom bags. - Improved stability and reduced leaning compared to square-shaped bags. - Provides a larger base for the product to rest on, enhancing stability during storage and transportation.

Benefits: - Safer stacking of bulk bags, reducing the risk of accidents and damage. - More efficient use of wall fabric, reducing material costs. - Improved stability and upright positioning of the bag, ensuring the integrity of the stored product.


Original Abstract Submitted

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.
