  • the present invention relates to bulk type product bags and lifting mechanisms and devices which are embodied in the bag or could be attached thereto as a retro-fit.
  • Bulk product bags of the woven type are generally used to contain powdered and granulated chemical products.
  • the bulk product bags are generally mounted on pallets.
  • Such pallets are hired, however if the final destination of the pallet is a relatively small operator there is an extremely high risk of the operator not returning the pallet to the owner. Alternatively the operators are located at a remote locality and the return of the pallet is difficult. Lost pallets amount to many thousands of dollars annually.
  • the invention provides a bag which includes a lifting device attached to the bag for the purpose of lifting the bag, the lifting device being moveable relative to the bag to define a space or opening for receiving a tyne or other implement of a lifting mechanism, said lifting device further including an opening/guidance means adapted to facilitate the formation of said opening and or guide said tyne or other implement to said opening formed between said lifting device and said bag.
  • said opening/guidance means is positioned on said lifting device to be pre-engaged by said tyne or other implement of said lifting mechanism for thereby moving said lifting device from the bag to define said space or said opening for receiving said tyne.
  • the opening/guidance means is at least one flap which hangs over the side or sides of said bag.
  • said opening/guidance means includes at least a portion which is rigid, semi rigid or weighted.

  • the lift straps 22 are shown in an extended position such that the lifting device 20 is separated by a gap 9 from the cover 8. Such positioning would occur if the straps 22 are able to transmit compressive forces, or alternatively a tyne of a lifting device is inserted and attempting to lift bag 2.
  • connection means in the form of a connection strap 24, however other connection means such as flat cord, circular cord or spiral wound cord could be used.
  • the strap 24 is preferably constructed of a laminate of high tensile strength materials such as woven webbing of natural or synthetic fibres. Together the lift straps 22 and the corresponding connection means 24 make up a flexible lift means.
  • the straps 24 can also be manufactured out of metals such as steel or high strength aluminium.
  • a guiding/tension member 26 Connecting the left connection strap 24 with the right connection strap 24 is a guiding/tension member 26 (which may also be called a web or web means).
  • the guiding/tension member 26 can transmit some of the load of the bag 2 to the tyne 40 (see figs 7 to 9), as well as serve the purpose of guiding the tyne 40 so that it passes through to the other side of the lifting device 20.

  • the opening/guidance flap 28 is pre-engaged by the tyne of a fork lift, so that when the opening/guidance flap 28 is lifted, it will lift at least the periphery of the guiding/tension member 26 so as to form an opening between the guiding/tension member 26 and the cover 8 of the bag 2 below it.
  • the opening/guidance flap 28 serves as an opening means in that engagement of it by the tyne provides as opening into which the tyne can be inserted.
  • the opening/guidance means serves its guidance purpose once the tyne has engaged it, because the opening/guidance means guides the tyne to a point below the periphery of the guiding/tension member 26, near to where the opening/guidance means 28 is attached to the guiding/tension member 26.
  • the opening/guidance flap 28 is formed from a pocket of fabric in which is captured a weight such as a metal rod. However, sand or the like or a plastics tube will also fulfil this task.
  • the opening/guidance means will fulfil its task also if it is rigid or semi rigid, or rigid in part or semi rigid in part.
  • the opening/guidance means can be constructed from fabric with no mass and or rigidity, as long as the fabric of the opening/guidance means extends over the side 6. If desired the opening/guidance means of this form can completely surround the lifting device 20 so that access to the lifting device can be from any side 6.
  • opening/guidance flap 28 acts as the first point of engagement of two tynes 40 of a fork lift 42 of which only one is illustrated because of the illustration being a side elevation.
  • the opening/guidance flap 28 when moved by the tynes 4 forms an opening 9 between the lifting device 20 and the cover 8 of the bag, to receive the tyne 40.
  • the opening/guidance flap 28 also gives the tyne 40 an introduction to the underside of the guiding/tension member 26 along which the fork lift driver moves the tyne 40 until such time as its tip 44 protrudes past the connection strap 24 on the left hand side of the device 20 illustrated in figs 7, 8 and 9. Once the tynes 40 have adopted this position, then the fork lift driver levels the tyne 40 as in fig 9. The fork lift driver is now in a position to lift the bulk bag 2 and its contained product without having to leave his driving and operating seat.
  • connection straps 24 bear the tensile forces, from the weight of the product, transmitted to the connection strap 24, by means of lift strap 22 and strengthening ribs 16 down the seam 7. While the use of a tapered tyne 40 provides an insertion benefit, any shape of tyne can be used with the invention, as long as the appropriate dimensions of the lifting device 20 and the openings and the lift straps are sized appropriately.
  • the guiding/tension member 26 includes a slit 30, which may be stitched or otherwise reinforced if made of fabric, or an aperture if sheet metal, through which the filling spout 10 and tie 14 can be accessed.
  • a slit 30 may be stitched or otherwise reinforced if made of fabric, or an aperture if sheet metal, through which the filling spout 10 and tie 14 can be accessed.
  • Other arrangements could be utilised, such as the positioning of the filling spout to the side of the bag 2 or even providing an extended version of the filling spout allowing filling from the side.
  • the lifting device could be attached after filling and later detached after the bag arrives at its destination.
  • additional front and rear connection straps 24 can be added to the lifting device 20 of figure 3 so that connection straps lie along the whole of the periphery of the lifting device 20.
  • an opening/guidance flap 28 to all four of the connection straps 24 there can be added an opening/guidance flap 28, so that a for
  • the fork lift driver may be able to approach the lifting device 20 from any angle, providing an opening/guidance flap 28 is on the or each periphery of the lifting device 20.
  • the lifting straps 22 can be of a relatively stiff material (ie, transmit compressive forces) so that they can hold the lifting device 20 clear of the cover 8. While such a feature can have advantages, the main role of the lifting straps 22 is to carry the weight of the bag suspended from the connecting straps 24. Illustrated in Figure 4 is the embodiment of Figure 3 as it would be at rest or after a like bag has been placed on top of it with the lifting straps 22 collapsed and the guiding/tension member 26 making contact with the cover 8 and resting substantially against it. In fig 4, the opening 9 shown in fig 3, is no longer present.

  • a centre connecting ring 32 is positioned around the slit 30. Extending radially outward from the ring 32 are radial connecting straps 34. The radial connecting straps proceed to the corner of the guiding/tension member 26 at which is located the lifting straps 22.

  • a strap could be joined by means of a D-shaped bolt or buckle or other interconnection means which will not undo during the lifting operation.
  • Another embodiment illustrated in figure 10 can be manufactured by combining the lift strap, and a bag connection of previous embodiments together with two opposite walls. The opposite side walls 6a can be extended up and over the cover 8 of the bag 2 in one piece to form a lifting sling 26a. The cover 8 of the bag can be joined to the lifting sling 26a by stitching or other joins 50.

  • the springiness and the compression of the strip 52 creates a tyne entry gap 54.
  • the springiness of strip 52 is not destroyed once another bag 2 has been placed on top of it, and this is achieved by the selection of the material.
  • the lifting strap can extend diagonally from one corner of a square or rectangular bag to another diametrically opposite corner, or be attached to diametrically opposite sides of a non square or rectangular shaped bag.
  • an opening/guidance means similar to opening/guidance flap 28 can extend from the lifting strap.
  • the flap of the opening/guidance means will need to be longer in parts, so that the weight can extend down the side of the bag.
