Bags for the transport and storage of bulk goods or liquids
There is disclosed a bag for the transport and storage of bulk goods or liquids formed by the assembly of several double-thickness pieces of fabric, including first and second pieces of fabric, each having opposite first and second sides extending between first and second folded-in flattened edges. Each piece of fabric includes at least one gusset defined by a first oblique section extending between the first folded-in flattened edge and a first gusset end positioned on the second side of the piece of fabric and a second gusset end positioned on the first side of the piece of fabric. The first and second pieces of fabric are assembled such that the second side of the second piece of fabric is in contact with or close to the first side of the first piece of fabric such that the first and second gusset ends of the first and second pieces of fabric are substantially aligned. The first and second pieces of fabric are assembled by means of seams formed around or near the first and second gusset ends of the first and second pieces of fabric.
1. A bag for the transport and storage of bulk goods or liquids formed by the assembly of several double-thickness pieces of fabric including first and second double-thickness pieces of fabric, each double-thickness piece of fabric having two opposite sides, respectively a first side and a second side, extending between first and second folded-in flattened edges,
wherein each double-thickness piece of fabric comprises at least one gusset, said gusset being defined by a first oblique section extending between the first folded-in flattened edge and a first gusset end positioned on the second side of the double-thickness piece of fabric and a second gusset end positioned on the first side of the double-thickness piece of fabric,
wherein the first and second double-thickness pieces of fabric are assembled such that the second side of the second double-thickness piece of fabric is in contact with or close to the first side of the first double-thickness piece of fabric and such that the first and second gusset ends of the first and second double-thickness pieces of fabric are substantially aligned,
wherein the first and second double-thickness pieces of fabric are assembled by means of seams formed around or near the first and second gusset ends of the first and second double-thickness pieces of fabric.
2. The bag according to claim 1 , wherein the second oblique section of the first double-thickness piece of fabric and the first oblique section of the second double-thickness piece of fabric are connected together by means of a stitching or a welding, said stitching or welding extending along a connection line.
3. The bag according to claim 2 , wherein the second oblique section of the first double-thickness piece of fabric and the first oblique section of the second double-thickness piece of fabric are connected together by means of a welding, said welding extending along a line extending between the connection line and the first and second gusset ends of the first and second double-thickness pieces of fabric.
4. The bag according to claim 2 , wherein the stitching extending along the connection line includes a seam formed along the connection line and wherein the seam formed along the connection line comprises at least two superimposed threads, one thread perforating the other and vice versa.
5. The bag according to claim 4 , wherein the superimposed threads are multi-filament threads with a textured structure.
6. The bag according to claim 2 , wherein the seams are configured to leave a non-sewn area encompassing the connection line and the first folded-in flattened edges of the first and second double-thickness pieces of fabric.
