Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for production of bags for the transport and storage of bulk goods or liquids, as well as the bag obtained according to the method.
  • Bags for the transport and storage of bulk goods or liquids which are also known as "big bags", are in general made of fabrics woven from polypropylene, which fabrics may or may not be laminated.
  • the most common method for production of bags of this type consists of sewing together a plurality of pieces of fabric, so as to form a rectangular parallelepiped.
  • tubular fabrics produced by means of circular looms the pieces which are designed to be sewn together to form the bag being constituted by sections of tubular fabric which are flattened to form lengths of flat double-thickness fabric, the width of which is half the circumference of the tube.
  • US 8,950,346 B2 relates to a method permitting to sew together pieces of fabric without forming sewing holes.
  • This method uses a sewing machine comprising at least two needles operating in line one behind the other in one and the same direction so as to form a seam along a single line.
  • the perforation produced by the first needle is covered by the stitch of the second needle and the perforation produced by the second needle is made through the thread of the stitch made by the first needle, thus filling said perforation with said thread.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a method for production of bags for the transport and storage of bulk goods or liquids, which makes it possible in particular to overcome the above-described disadvantages.
  • the present invention relates to a method for production of bags for the transport and storage of bulk goods or liquids, wherein use is made of tubular fabric cut into several pieces, which are then assembled together, comprising the steps of:
  • the present invention also relates to a bag for the transport and storage of bulk goods or liquids according to claim 2.
  • the bags according to the invention are made of pieces constituted by sections of tubular fabric flattened so as to form lengths of flat double-thickness fabric, the width of which is half the circumference of the tube.
  • Pieces of fabric of this type can be square or rectangular and form either the bottom or one of the lateral walls of the bag. It is also possible that one piece of fabric is designed to constitute both the bottom of the bag and two opposite lateral walls, two complementary pieces being designed to constitute the two other lateral walls of the bag.
  • the assembly of two adjacent pieces of fabric of the bag are carried out by sewing along a single line, which is parallel to the sides of the pieces.
  • Such a configuration is for example illustrated in figures 1 and 2 of US 8,950,346 B2 .
  • the essential concept of the production method according to the invention consists to form a gusset at one end of the pieces of fabric and to provide this gusseted end with several connecting lines or areas, said connecting lines or areas being positioned so as to distribute stresses on several portions of the pieces of fabric when they are assembled together.
  • tubular fabric 10 weighing preferably 75 to 125 grams per square meter.
  • the tubular fabric 10 has an appropriate diameter and length which is determined by the desired dimensions of the finished bag.
  • this tubular fabric 10 is then flattened so as to form a double-thickness fabric having two opposite sides, respectively an internal side 11 a and an external side 11 b, extending between two flattened edges, respectively a left edge 12 and a right edge 14, and two open or cut edges 16, 18.
  • a gusset 20 is now formed by folded in or pleating the double-thickness fabric 10 at the portion adjacent the left edge 12, said left edge 12 projecting inwards in the fabric 10 to an extent of several cm for example. Gusseting to achieve the gusset 20 may be effected as the tubular fabric 10 is flattened, and may be effected by appropriate shaping tools (not shown) past which the tubular fabric progresses, simultaneously with a gusset 24 at the right edge 14.
  • the gusset 20 is thus defined by a first oblique section 13 extending between the folded-in left edge 12 and a first gusset end 15 positioned on the external side 11 b of the fabric 10 and by a second oblique section 17 extending between said folded-in left edge 12 and a second gusset end 19 positioned on the internal side 11 a of the fabric 10.
  • the tubular fabric is cut into pieces to be assembled to form a bag.
  • the piece of fabric 10 of figures 3 and 3a is disposed adjacent to a similar piece of fabric 10'.
  • Said piece of fabric 10' is in particular defined by an internal side 11 a', an external side 11 b', a left edge 12' projecting inwards and a gusset 20' defined by a third oblique section 13' extending between the left edge 12' and a third gusset end 15' positioned on the external side 11b' and by a fourth oblique section 17' extending between said left edge 12' and a fourth gusset end 19' positioned on the internal side 11 a'.
  • the pieces of fabric 10 and 10' may advantageously be disposed such that the external side 11 b' of the piece of fabric 10' is in contact with or close to the internal side 11 a of the piece of fabric 10 and such that the first, second, third and fourth gusset ends 15, 19, 15', 19' are substantially aligned.
  • the pieces of fabric 10 and 10' are finally assembled together by means of seams 23 formed around or near the first to fourth gusset ends 15, 19, 15', 19'. These seams 23 are properly positioned to connect together the first to fourth oblique sections 13, 17, 13', 17'.
  • the seams 23 permit that stresses applied to the pieces of fabric 10, 10' are distributed on the first to fourth oblique sections 13, 17, 13', 17' and not concentrated only on a single connection line.
  • a bag formed by a combination of several pieces of fabric assembled in accordance with the method illustrated in figures 1 to 5 , respectively 1 a to 5a may have a better resistance to stress.
  • several tests have shown that the bags according to the invention are substantially stronger than the bags produced by a method according to US 8,950,346 B2 . Some tests have shown 1.5 time improvements in the resistance at break.
  • FIGS 6 and 7 illustrate a bag 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • This bag 100 has a parallelepiped shape and is constituted by four double-thickness pieces of fabric 101 to 104 forming the lateral sides of the bag and one piece of fabric 105 forming the bottom side of the bag.
  • the bag 100 is advantageously equipped with four lifting straps 106 positioned at the four upper corners of the bag, whereto forks of forklifts can fit or penetrate.
  • Each double-thickness piece of fabric 101 to 104 comprises a gusset 20, 20' formed at both of its ends, each gusset being connected to a gusset of an adjacent piece of fabric by seams 23.
  • the double-thickness fabrics 101 to 104 have the same structure as the fabrics 10, 10' illustrated in figures 5 and 5a .
