Abstract: The invention relates to a flexible container for fluids, comprising an inner bag (1) of a thin material and an outer sack (2) of a durable fabric. The outer sack (2) is cylindrical and its mantle surface is provided with channels (4) for receiving support pillars (5) fastened to a wooden pallet (6). At deceleration during the transport of a full container, the upper ends of the forward support pillars exert great spot loads on the outer sack (2). Such loads can be avoided to a great extent if an outer and an inner side wall (8, 9) of the channels (4) are equally broad in the peripheral direction of the outer sack.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flexible receptacle for fluids, which receptacle comprises a cylindrical outer casing (1) and an inner bag. The casing is formed by a hose which is doubled up at one end of the receptacle so as to obtain a casing (1) with a double wall. The strength properties of the casing can be considerably improved if the casing in the portions positioned in the vicinity of the doubled end of the receptacle are twisted around the central axis of the receptacle with respect to the mantle face of the receptacle.
