Semi-bulk with liner

A storage bag for transporting bulk material therein of the type comprising an exterior fabric bag portion having a top portion, a plurality of wall portions including an upper portion adjacent the top portion, and a floor portion, all defining a storage space therewithin, and including an inlet opening on the top portion and an outlet opening on the floor portion, the storage bag comprising:

• (a) a free-form interior plastic liner positioned within the exterior bag portion and including a continuous wall portion, for housing bulk material stored therein, the free-form interior liner conforming to the shape of the wall portions of the exterior bag portion when bulk material is added to the storage space and contained within the exterior bag portion;
• and
• (b) a layer of glue circumferentially applied upon the wall portions of the exterior bag portion along the storage space in two spaced apart positions, at least one position being adjacent to the inlet opening at the upper portion, so that when the free-form interior [line] liner is expanded to conform to the shape of the exterior bag portion, the wall portion of the free-form interior liner adheres to the wall portions of the exterior bag portion where the glue has been applied to prevent the free-form interior liner from moving out of the outlet opening on the floor portion of the exterior bag portion as bulk material is emptied therefrom, the glue serving as a permanent adhesive contact between the wall portion of the interior liner and the wall portions of the exterior bag portion.

A storage bag for transporting bulk material, the bag having an upper inlet opening and a lower [outer] outlet opening, the bag comprising:

• (a) an exterior fabric bag portion comprising a plurality of wall portions, a floor portion, and a top portion all defining a bulk storage space therewithin;
• (b) an interior free-form plastic-like liner means insertable into the exterior fabric bag portion in a collapsed configuration and when expanded conformable to fit the configuration of the exterior fabric bag portion, the interior plastic-like liner means at least comprising a continuous wall portion, for storing bulk material therein;
• (c) glue circumferentially placed on the wall portions of the exterior bag portion along the bulk storage space in at least two spaced apart positions, at least one position being adjacent one of the upper opening, serving as a permanent adhesive contact between the wall portion of the interior liner means and the wall portions of the exterior bag portion, so that the interior liner means adheres to the wall portions of the exterior bag portion when the interior liner means expands from the collapsed configuration and makes contact with the wall portions of the exterior bag portion;
• and
• (d) means associated with the interior liner means for providing that the wall portion of the interior liner means substantially conforms to and abuts against the wall portions of the exterior bag portion when the interior liner means makes contact with the exterior bag portion.

A storage bag for transporting bulk material, the bag having an upper inlet opening, the bag comprising:

• (a) an exterior fabric bag portion comprising a plurality of wall portions, a floor portion and a top portion, all defining a bulk storage space therewithin;
• (b) a collapsed interior plastic-liner means contained within the bag portion and at least comprising a continuous wall portion, for storing bulk material therein;
• (c) glue circumferentially placed on the wall portions of the exterior bag portion along the bulk storage space in at least a first position adjacent and surrounding the upper inlet opening, serving as a permanent adhesive contact between the wall portion of the interior liner means and the wall portions of the exterior bag portion, so that the collapsed interior liner means adheres to the wall portions of the exterior bag portion when the collapsed interior liner means expands and makes contact with the wall portions of the exterior bag portion;
• and
• (d) means associated with the collapsed interior liner means for providing that the wall portion of the collapsed interior liner means substantially conforms to and abuts against the wall portions of the exterior bag portion when the interior liner means expands and makes contact with the exterior bag portion.
