Abstract
A bulk bag (12) and rigid fork lift tine receiving member (18) combination. The combination includes a bulk bag (12) having a bottom (14) and a peripheral sidewall (16). Two rigid parallel-piped fork lift tine receiving members (18) are provided, each having an exterior surface with a tie receiving channel (26) extending across a bottom face (20) of the exterior surface. The fork lift tine receiving members (18) are tied with ties (28) to the bottom of the bulk bag (12). The ties (28) are positioned within the receiving channels (26), which protects them from wear as the fork lift tine receiving members (18) move across a floor.
Claims17
In combination:
- a bulk bag (12) having a bottom (14) and a peripheral sidewall (16);
- two rigid parallel-piped fork lift tine receiving members (18) having an exterior surface with a tie receiving channel (26) extending across a bottom face (20) of the exterior surface;
- the fork lift tine receiving members (18) being tied with ties (28) to the bottom (14) of the bulk bag (12), the ties (28) being positioned within the receiving channels (26), thereby being protected from wear as the bottom face (20) of the fork lift tine receiving members (18) move across a floor.
In combination:
- a bulk bag having a bottom and a peripheral sidewall, the bulk bag having ties that depend past the bottom;
- two rigid parallel-piped fork lift tine receiving members each having a top surface and opposed ends, the fork lift tine receiving members having tie receiving slots in the top surface at each of opposed ends, whereby the fork lift tine receiving members are tied with the ties to the bottom of the bulk bag.
In combination:
- a bulk bag having a bottom and a peripheral sidewall;
- two rigid parallel-piped fork lift tine receiving members having an exterior surface with recessed tie receiving channels extending across a bottom face of the exterior surface and adjacent side faces, the tie receiving channel on the bottom face being aligned with the tie receiving channels in the adjacent side faces;
- the fork lift tine receiving members being tied with ties to the bottom of the bulk bag, the ties being positioned within the receiving channels, thereby being protected from wear as the bottom face of the fork lift tine receiving members move across a floor, the tie receiving channels in the adjacent side faces limiting movement of the fork lift tine receiving members.
