A FLOWABLE BULK MATERIAL CONTAINER

摘要

The invention relates to a flowable bulk material container (10) that includes a container part (12) that is formed of a flexible sheet material and that defines, when filled, a base wall (14), two pairs of substantially parallel, spaced side walls (18, 20) and a top wall (16). The top wall is formed by a folding process performed on extensions (22) of the side walls, the folding process resulting in end segments (24) of the extensions projecting from the top wall midway between and parallel to one of the pairs of side walls. The container has either one pair of strap elements (30, 32) or two pairs of strap elements attached to the end segments, in a configuration in which a pair of strap elements form a pair of loops that are engageable by a fork of a fork lift for permitting lifting and displacement of the container.
