<p>The invention relates to improvements in securing a liner within a flexible container such as an intermediate bulk container. The container has first attachment means in the form of a connecting ring and mounting straps therefor attached to the exterior of the container adjacent the upper and lower peripheries thereof. The liner has corresponding second attachment means at the top and bottom thereof. The bottom liner attachment means includes a strap which can pass through a corresponding opening adjacent the bottom of the container and which is provided with an appropriate connector for connection to the corresponding ring of the first attachment means. The top liner attachment means is similar to the bottom liner attachment means and, if no cover for the container is required, will pass over the upper edge of the container for connection to an appropriate upper connecting ring. If a cover is provided appropriate openings may be provided to pass the straps of the second attachment means from the interior to the exterior. In this manner a light-weight container may be used; the liner can bear a portion of any loads placed on the container; the liner can be readily removed for repair or replacement; and a container which is otherwise not waterproof can be made waterproof by the addition of a waterproof liner.</p> |
