Abstract: A collapsible container system for flowable materials includes a collapsible bag for holding the materials and a collapsible frame for supporting and retaining the bag. The collapsible frame includes top and bottom portions and a plurality of spaced apart upright members extending therebetween. The upright members each include a removable support portion that normally extends in a generally vertical direction and in supporting relation between the top and bottom portions. When all of the support portions are removed from supporting relation between the top and bottom portions the frame is collapsible and its height is reduced.

Abstract: A container system for flowable materials includes a frame having a bottom, front, rear, and at least one side. The frame includes a support tray disposed above the bottom and having a discharge chute. A pair of spaced apart tubes for receiving the forks of a forklift extend horizontally from the front to the rear of the frame below the support tray. The container system further includes a bag having a bottom portion adapted to rest on the support tray and having a discharge opening registered with the discharge chute. The bag has a flap that normally covers the discharge opening. A slide mechanism mounts at the side of the frame, transversely to the tubes, and is connected to the flap so as to peel it back to uncover the discharge opening and thereby dispense flowable material.
