Definitions

  • This invention relates to collapsible container assemblies for liquids.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a convenient way of supporting such a flexible bag while it is being charged with liquid.
  • an assembly adapted to contain liquids, the said assembly containing a flexible bag in which liquid can be contained, the said bag being flat when empty but being capable of expansion when it is charged with liquid and having a neck through which liquid can be supplied to or withdrawn from the bag; a support of cardboard or like material, the said support having an aperture through which the said neck is accessible and including two opposed side panels arranged one on each side of the flexible bag; a base portion having at two opposite edges fold-lines at each of which an edge of one of the side panels is connected to the base portion, the base portion having an intermediate fold-line running parallel to the other two fold-lines whereby the panels and the base portion can assume a flat condition when the bag is empty and the assembly is not in use but which, when the assembly is in use, the panels and the base portion can assume a condition in which the base panels are flat and the side panels converge from the fold-lines at the opposite edges of the base portion.
  • an assembly adapted to contain liquids comprising a flexible bag in which liquid can be contained, the said bag being flat when empty but being capable of expansion when it is charged with a liquid and having a neck; through which liquid can be supplied to, or withdrawn from the bag; a support of cardboard or like material, the said support including two opposed side panels connected together at a common first fold-line and arranged one on each side of the flexible bag with the neck of the bag engaged in an aperture which interrupts the said first fold-line, a base portion connected to the edges of the side panels remote from the first fold-line at second and third fold-lines whereby the panels can assume a flat condition when the bag is empty and the assembly is not in use but which, when the assembly is in use, can assume a condition in which the base panels are flat and the side panels diverge from the first fold-line towards the base, and a suspension flap connected to the base at a fourth fold-line, the suspension flap being adapted to support the assembly from a fixture when the bag
  • an assembly comprising a flexible bag in which liquid can be contained, the said bag being flat when empty but being capable of expansion when it is charged with liquid and having an inlet neck through which liquid can be supplied to the bag and an outlet through which liquid can be withdrawn from the bag; a support of cardboard or like material, the said support having apertures through which the inlet neck and the outlet are accessible and including two opposed side panels arranged one on each side of the flexible bag; a base portion having at two opposite edges fold-lines at each of which an edge of one of the side panels is connected to the base portion, the base portion also having an intermediate fold-line running parallel to the other two fold-lines; flap portions extending from the edges of the side panels remote from the base portion and connected thereto at further fold-lines, the said flap panels being secured together in face contact to provide a handle, the arrangement being such that the support can be folded about the fold-lines to assume a flat condition when the bag is empty and not in use, and when the assembly is in use,
  • a flexible bag 1 ( Figures 2 to 5) is made of plastics material such as polyethylene or PVC and has a rigid neck 2 on which a stopper 3 can be screwed.
  • a stopper 3 can be screwed.
  • the bag 1 is partly enclosed in a support assembly which can be formed from the blank illustrated in Figure 1.
  • This support assembly is made of cardboard or like material.
  • the blank is of generally rectangular shape and comprises two main panels 4 which form the side walls of the assembly when the device is in use.
  • the two panels are connected together at a common first fold-line 5 which is interrupted by an aperture 6 in which the neck 2 of the flexible bag may be received as shown in Figures 2 to 5.
  • At the ends of the panels 4 remote from the first fold-line 5 are two base panels 7 which are connected to the panels 4 at second and third fold-lines 8 and 9.
  • Connected to each of the base panels 7 is a support flap 10.
  • the support flaps 10 are secured together in face to face contact by an adhesive and are connected to the base flaps at a fourth fold-line 11. As illustrated in Figure 2, the bottom of the bag 1 is retained between the flaps 10 on securing these flaps together.
  • the flaps 10 have a cut-out portion 12 by which the support flaps and the whole assembly can be suspended from a fixed assembly.
  • the assembly When it is desired to charge the flexible bag 1 with a liquid, the assembly is arranged in the position illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the base panels are arranged so that they lie in the same plane and the support flap 10 lies against the underside of the base.
  • the assembly is then self-standing, the bag 1 being suspended at the neck by a support structure of roughly triangular cross-section.
  • the cap 3 can then be removed and the container charged with liquid.
  • the device can be turned upside down and the support flap 10 arranged in a vertical position as shown in Figure 4.
  • the assembly can then be suspended from a fixture such as a hook or bracket. As the bag empties the assembly collapses to assume the condition illustrated in Figure 5.
  • At least one of the side panels 4 has a cut-out portion 13 which enables a portion of the side of the bag to be observed.
  • the registering portion of the bag can have printed on it graduations indicating the quantity of liquid remaining in the bag and this cut-out portion 13 enables the quantity to be read off at any time.
  • Figures 6, 7 and 8 illustrate an assembly intended for use as a urgine collection bag.
  • the assembly includes a blank of cardboard or the like illustrated in Figure. 6 in a flat condition which can be folded to enclose a flexible bag 14 of plastics material.
  • the support includes two panels 15 and 16 arranged to lie on opposite sides of the bag 14. These side panels extend from fold-lines 17 and 18 at opposite edges of a base portion 19.
  • the base portion 19 has an intermediate fold-line 20 running parallel with the fold-lines 17 and 18. Extending from the edges of the panels 15 and 16 remote from the base portion 19 are two flaps 20 connected to the panels 15 and 16 at additional fold-lines 21.
  • the bag 14 has an inlet neck 24 accessible through an aperture 25 in the wall 15.
  • An inlet tube 26 is engaged in the neck 25 and is supported in an aperture 27 in a flap 28 of the handle 23.
  • the bag also has an outlet tube 29 extending through an aperture 30 in the panel 15. This tube can be reinserted into the assembly through a second aperture 31 and when the tube is so reinserted the contents of the bag cannot discharge.
  • the panel 15 also includes an aperture 32 through which the contents of the bag 14 are visible.
  • the handle 23 can also be provided with eyelets 33 to enable it to be supported from a hanger if desired.
  • the support assembly When the support assembly is not in use it can be folded about the fold-lines to assume a flat condition indicated in Figure 7. When the device is to be used, the support is folded about its fold-lines so that the panels 15 and 16 diverge from the base portion 19 towards the hanger 23. In this condition the assembly is freestanding.
