Abstract: A liner sump dispensing system (10) is disclosed which is used in conjunction with a liner (11) and an intermediate bulk container (12). The liner sump dispensing system includes a liner cassette (40) and a tilting device (41). The liner cassette is mounted to the bottom of the liner. The tilting device includes a tray (51) and a reciprocating pneumatic arm (52) having a pneumatic cylinder (63) and a piston rod (64) pivotally coupled to a rear end (54) of the tray. The tray has a trapezoidal shaped floor (58) and a pair of inclined wings (60) extending upwardly along an incline from the floor. A L-shaped mounting flange (65) adapted to be coupled to the top end of the container is coupled to the end of the pneumatic cylinder opposite from the tray. The actuation of the pneumatic cylinder tilts the tray to tilt the liner bottom end.

Abstract: A drum liner (10) is disclosed which is configured to be used with a drum (11) having a side wall (14) terminating with a top edge (15), a removable lid (16) having a lip (19), and crimp ring (17). The liner has a bottom wall (24), a top rim (25), and a cylindrical side wall (26) made of flexible material. The liner side wall has an exterior surface (27) and an interior surface (28). The liner top rim has a positioning flange (29) extending to an attachment lip (30) configured to fit about the drum top edge and within the drum lid lip. The liner side wall is heat sealed to the top rim positioning flange. The bottom wall is also heat sealed to the bottom margin of the liner side wall.

Abstract: A liner (10) is disclosed for use with a container. The liner has a liner body (11) with a bottom wall (13), a top wall (14) and peripheral side walls (15). The liner also includes a ween plate (21). The weep plate includes a radial array of protrusions (22) extending inwardly and downwardly from a generally planar base plate (23). The base also includes a centrally located circular fitment mounting opening (25). A hose fitment (29) extends through the liner top wall and weep plate fitment mounting opening and is sealed thereto so that a vacuum hose coupled to the fitment is in fluid communication with the interior space of the liner. The weep plate has a select width and length smaller that the select width and length of the liner to define a margin or marginal space (32) therebetween.

Abstract: A pressurized liner (10) is disclosed for use with a bulk container. The pressurized liner has a central band (12), two inner caps (13), and two outer caps (14). Each inner cap has an end wall (20) and four peripheral side walls (21). Each outer cap has an end wall (22) and four peripheral side walls (23). The central band and inner caps define a central compartment (33) which has an inlet port (34) and an outlet port (36). Each adjoining pair of inner caps and outer caps define inflatable side compartments (39) coupled to opposite sides of the central compartment. Each inflatable side compartment has a pressurized air port (40) to allow inflation and deflation of the side compartment. The inner caps have a lateral depth (d1) generally equal to or greater than a lateral depth (d2) of the outer caps.

Abstract: A palletized container for bulk materials comprises a bag made of reticulated material having a bottom and sides. Inflatable bladders are mounted to the bag bottom which bound two channels that are spaced apart a distance to receive two spaced tines of a forklift truck.

Abstract: A plastic tube is joined to a flexible plastic sheet by mounting an end of the tube over a mandrel. A hole is cut in the sheet of a size less than the mandrel. The sheet is stretched over the mandrel bringing an annular portion of the sheet about the hole snugly over the tube end and mandrel. The annular portion of the sheet is heat sealed to the tube end and the joined sheet and tube removed from the mandrel.

Abstract: A container for bulk materials comprises a flexible bulk bag lined with a flexible liner. The bulk bag has a discharge opening that is coverable by a flap. The liner has a discharge spout fastened to the bag flap and releasibly closed by tie off means. The container may be emptied by pulling the flap to a position opening the bag discharge opening and rendering the liner discharge tie-off means accessible for release to open and empty the liner and bag.

Abstract: A bulk bag has side walls and a bottom in which a liner is inserted made of a flexible plastic material. The liner has a bottom and a plurality of sides and at least one frame member extending inwardly from the sides substantially along a plane oriented substantially parallel with the bottom.

Abstract: A liner (10) is provided for use in a bulk bag (12) of the type for storing and transporting fungible materials. The liner has a bottom wall (23), a top wall (24), and side walls (22) extending between the bottom wall and the top wall to define a storage space. The liner also has a reinforced top collar (34) extending from the side walls which is stitched to the sides of a bulk bag.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in removing hazardous material I from an elongated pipe P comprises an elongated upper work section 41 from which a plurality of in-line lower debris collection and disposal bags 47 depend. The upper work section and the bags are made of flexible sheet material. The upper work section has a bottom formed with a plurality of in-line chutes 52 that extend between adjacent bags. A plurality of gloves 48 are mounted to the upper work section. Upon wrapping and securing the upper work section about a pipe with the chutes inclined therefrom, insulation may be manually worked from the pipe and channeled by the chutes into the bags for collection and storage. A method of manufacturing the apparatus from two continuous webs of flexible material is also disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus for use in removing hazardous material from an elongated pipe has an upper work section comprised of a sheet of flexible material having a centrally located opening and a lower debris collection and disposal bag that depends from the upper work section about the opening. Gloves are mounted to the upper work section sheet. So constructed, upon wrapping and securing the upper work section about a pipe with opposite ends thereof drawn upwardly thereto aside the opening, the work section is configured into the shape of a funnel for funneling debris worked from the pipe down into the debris collection and disposal bag.

Abstract: A safety glove bag system for the removal of hazardous materials from elongated pipes or the like without danger or exposure of the operator to the hazardous material. The system utilizes a series of disposal pouches connected to a manifold which surrounds the pipe, and each of the disposal pouches may be removed from the assembly without disrupting the removal process.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in removing hazardous material from overhead structures comprises a work platform supported beneath the structure atop a scaffold. A plastic enclosure extends upwardly and outwardly from the periphery of the platform to define a downwardly tapered upwardly open chamber bounded by the enclosure and the platform. A tubular plastic chute communicates at one end with the interior of the chamber and extends downwardly therefrom to communicate at its other end with a hazardous material receptacle supported on a receptacle support member. Hazardous material removed from overhead structures by a worker on the platform is confined to the chamber by the walls of the enclosure and can be swept by the worker into the chute and directed thereby into the receptacle for disposal.
