Definitions

  • This invention relates to bags, primarily shopping bags and like bags for carrying groceries and provisions.
  • a bag large enough to hold bulk purchases is, if of conventional design, also inconveniently large and bulky to carry when empty and to store when not in use.
  • the present invention provides, however, a shopping bag which does not have these disadvantages of one-trip supermarket plastic or paper bags or of conventional, more durable shopping bags.
  • the invention comprises an insulating bag for transportation of frozen or refrigerated foods having front and rear walls, there being an opening to the interior of the bag between the upper edges of said front and rear walls which opening can be sealed by pressing the inner faces of said edges together and unsealed by pulling said edges apart, and further including a rectangular base wall and triangular side walls, the bag being foldable at the junctions between the walls from which it is formed, characterised in that said base wall has a fold line centrally thereof and parallel with the lower edges of the front and rear walls and the side walls have fold lines centrally thereof and extending downwardly from the opening to meet the fold line in the base wall at the opposite ends thereof, the fold lines in the base and side wall being formed by welded seams and the said front and rear, base and side walls being formed of inner and outer layers and intermediate thermally insulating material.
  • the bag may have handle means comprised by apertured flaps extending outwardly from the upper edges of said front and rear walls.
  • the inner faces of the upper edges of the front and rear walls may carry lengths of tape which adhere when pressed together.
  • Such tape may be of the type which comprises on one face cut pile loops of monofilament forming hooks engageable with uncut fibrous loops on the tape on the other face - this is sometimes known as "Velcro".
  • the bag may have additional mechanical fastenings at each end of the said opening, which may comprise snap fastenings such as stud fasteners.
  • the bag generally indicated at 10, comprises a front wall 11, rear wall 12, rectangular base wall 13, and opposite triangular side walls 14 and 15.
  • All of these walls are of thermally insulating construction comprising inner and outer layers 16 and 17 of plastics sheet material enclosing an intermediate sheet of thermally insulating material 18, such as a fleece of polyester fibres for example.
  • the walls are joined together at their edges along welded seams which define fold-lines. Additional welded seams define a fold-line 19 centrally of the base wall 13 and parallel with the lower edges of the front and rear walls and fold-lines 20 and 21 centrally of the side walls extending downwardly from the opening to the bag to meet the fold line 19 in the base wall at the opposite ends thereof, all whereby the bag may be folded flat for storage as shown in Figure 2.
  • the opening to the bag defined between the upper edges of the front and rear walls 11 and 12 may be sealed by pressing the inner faces of such edges together and unsealed by pulling them apart.
  • the inner faces of such edges are provided with textile tapes 22 and 23 providing cut pile loops of monofilament and uncut fibrous loops respectively. Suitable tapes are marketed under the name Velcro (Registered Trade Mark).
  • edges may carry plastic tapes providing interengageable ribs and grooves or similar formations.
  • the bag has a carrying handle comprised by flaps 24 and 25 extending outwardly from the upper edges of the front and rear walls.
  • the flaps 24 and 25 are provided with apertures 26 shaped to receive the fingers of one hand.
