<p>The invention relates to a flexible, large-sized bulk container (1), with a size in the range from approx. 0.5 to 2.0 m3, and intended as a package for finely-divided solids, such as for instance pulverous pigments. The container comprises a longitudinal mantle (3-4), e.g. rectangular in cross section, and a base (7-9) tapered obliquely towards the mantle and ending in a discharge tube (11) which is releasable with a tie string (13). In accordance with the invention, the base, which may consist of inclined surfaces (7-9) continuing the side walls of the container, is inclined so that the discharge tube (11) has an eccentric position and that at least one of the tube sides (18) forms a linear extension of the mantle surface (3) of the container. The base (7-9) of the filled container may be flattened and protected with a base flap (15) turned up against it. With the base flap (15) turned up, the base of the container lifted by its lugs (14) will expand under the weight of the material within the container, resuming its former shape described above, and subsequently the discharge tube (11) can be fitted into the input opening of the container for receiving material in order to empty the bulk container.</p> |
