Abstract: A flexible container has a container body with container walls that define a container interior. A container socket is connected to the container body and has a container opening through which the container interior is filled. Carrying loops are connected to the container body for lifting the container. The container socket has an initial retracted position in the container interior and is transferable from the initial retracted position into an upright filling position. The container socket is at least partially comprised of an elastically expandable material. The flexible container is filled by inserting into the container socket a filling tube, contacting with the filling tube the container socket in the initial retracted position, and transferring the container socket to the upright filling position and keeping the container socket secured on the filling tube in the upright filling position. The bulk material is introduced through the filling tube into the flexible container.

Abstract: A flexible bulk material container has a container body having at least one opening for filling and emptying the bulk material container. Carrying loops are attached to the container body. The container body and the carrying loops are made from an electrically non-conductive base fabric. A first conductive element for conducting an electrostatic charge of the bulk material container is provided which electrostatic charge occurs primarily during filling or emptying of the bulk material container. At least one the carrying loops has a discharge device. The first conductive element is connected to the discharge device and is a coating of the container body. At least one of the coating and the discharge device is made from a thermoplastic synthetic material containing a conductivity-increasing additive and having a surface resistance of between 108 Ohm and 1011 Ohm.

Abstract: A container for storing and transporting liquid materials has a container wall and a container opening surrounded by the container wall. A closure element that closes the container opening is provided. An intermediate lid made from plastic material is arranged between the closure element and the container wall and is removable. The intermediate lid has at least over portions thereof a convexly curved cross-section. The intermediate lid has a circumferential collar that is formed as a bead and that is placed onto a fastening projection formed on the container wall.

Abstract: A flexible container has a container body having a bottom and sidewalls. Stabilization elements connect the sidewalls in corner areas where the sidewalls adjoin one another. The stabilization elements have passages for bulk material to be filled into the flexible container. The stabilization elements are a grid structure web of extruded plastic material.

Abstract: A liner to be introduced into a container has a liner wall made of a film material and a filling spout connected to the liner wall. A discharge spout is also connected to the liner wall. The discharge spout has a housing with movable holding elements for securing the discharge spout on a container. The holding elements are snap-on elements. A ring is secured to the container so as to surround a container opening. The holding elements engage the ring attached to the container for positionally securing the discharge spout on the container.
