Abstract: A container for transporting material, comprises an outer container having first and second container openings therein, and a container liner having first and second liner openings therein. The first liner opening is sufficiently small to be passed through the second container opening and is adapted for connection to the first container opening. The second liner opening is adapted for attachment to the second container opening.

Abstract: A container inner bag mounted in a freight container and filled with a large amount of content, which is made of a synthetic resin sheet and has an elongated rectangular parallelepiped shape and a pentahedral or hexahedral structure. The elongated rectangular parallelepiped-shaped container inner bag is cut along at least ridge portions formed between the front and rear walls and the left and right side walls. These walls are adapted to be joined and separated along the ridge portions by connecting and separating means such as a fastener, respectively. The front wall has, at the upper portion, a cut portion adapted to form a content insertion opening through which the content is filled into the bag, and, at the lower portion, a cut portion adapted to form a content takeout opening through which the content is taken out from the bag. These cut portions are adapted to be joined and separated by connecting and separating means such as a fastener, respectively.

Abstract: A method of securing a flexible plastics liner (12) within a cargo container (10) uses a plurality of plastic retaining cords (17). Each cord (17) is either attached to the liner (12) at a suitable position (14), or is passed through a loop (43) (FIG. 9) or other receptor (31) (FIG. 8) secured to the liner. Each cord (17) has a self-jamming cleat (23) secured at or adjacent one end, to permit the cord to be coupled to a member (20) provided within the container (10) and then tensioned so as to suspend the liner therewithin. The cord may be passed through a hole (19) in the member (20) or a loop may be formed around the member (30) (FIG. 8) or (41) (FIG. 9).

Abstract: A container having insulating properties for shipping products. The container includes a flexible pouch capable of being folded to a substantially flat, two-dimensional geometry. The container further includes at least one cylindrically shaped elastomer having a radial dimension and height dimension shaped to fit within the flexible pouch and being more resistant to deformation in its height dimension than in its radial dimension and at least one cylindrically shaped metalized membrane sized to fit within the cylindrically shaped elastomer. A geometrically shaped top and bottom are each sized to fit within the cylindrically shaped elastomer which are used to determine the shape of the container as well as its internal volume.

Abstract: A freight transport vehicle convertible for carrying piece goods as well as bulk liquid cargo, includes a collapsible liquid cargo bag and at least one adjustable cinching strap for being tightened down over the bag. Tightening of the strap over the bag causes the pressure of the liquid mass within the bag to increase, serving to make the liquid mass act as a solid mass within the bag. This prevents kinetic energy that is built up in the mass through motion of the vehicle from causing sloshing motion of the liquid during transportation, thus eliminating possible hazards in operation of the vehicle and preventing possible damage to the cargo bag.
