  • Patent number: 4368765
    Abstract: A hanger construction for a collapsible container for medical fluids which is fabricated in such a manner that it is scrapless and positioned within the confines of the container. The hanger is formed with tear and hinge lines so that one or more tab portions are easily torn from and displaced from the bag surface to provide a hanger hole. Hinge lines are positioned to afford a biasing of the displaced portions outwardly from the bag surface so that they will not "reclose" in the hanger hole. A tear point is utilized for ease in initiating the tearing away of the tab portions. The resulting hanger hole is of a geometric configuration in that it will accommodate most any support structure and the displaced portions are of a configuration in that they will not "hang up" or "dig" into the support structure. These features permit ease of fabrication and placement of the bag over a support device.
