  • Patent number: 5328267
    Abstract: A bulk container of flexible fabric having a substantially rectangular base and four walls with four corners at the junctions of the walls has four interior bridging panels extending between adjacent walls across the corners, the bridging panels each being formed of fabric which is integral with part of said adjacent walls. In one embodiment, the four bridging panels and the four wall center panels are formed of a single main piece of fabric, and the corners are formed by corner pieces attached to the main piece of fabric at the junctions between the bridging panels and the wall center panels. The corner pieces each comprise a folded strip of fabric which forms a lifting device. Holes are cut through the bridging panels by laying the main piece of fabric in doubled condition and cutting two layers in one operation. The container has a pyramid shaped top cover with a central filing chute, and an outlet chute.
