Pallet for bulk bag

Abstract

A pallet for bulk bags consists of a combination of a pair of elongate “C” channel tine receiving members and a bulk bag. Each of the tine receiving members have a top and opposed sides defining both an exterior surface and an interior surface. At least one strap receiving channel runs along the interior surface at the top. The exterior surface is devoid of appendages. The interior surface is being devoid of obstructions. The bulk bag has sides and a bottom. Straps are secured to the bulk bag, which are adapted to engage the at least one strap receiving channel of each of the tine receiving members for the purpose of securing the tine receiving members to the bottom of the bulk bag.

1 . A pallet for bulk bags, comprising in combination: 
 a pair of elongate “C” channel tine receiving members, each of the tine receiving members having a top and opposed sides defining both an exterior surface and an interior surface, with at least one receiving channel running along the interior surface at the top, the exterior surface being devoid of appendages and the interior surface being devoid of obstructions; and    a bulk bag having sides and a bottom, and    means for securing tine receiving members to the bottom of the bulk bag.    
   
   
       2 . The pallet as defined in  claim 1  wherein the means for securing the bulk bag to the tine receiving member are straps secured to the bulk bag which are adapted to engage the at least one receiving channels of each of the tine receiving members.  
   
   
       3 . The pallet as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the straps are elasticized.  
   
   
       4 . The pallet as defined in  claim 1  wherein the means for securing the bulk bag to the tine receiving member is adhesive applied to the top of each tine receiving member such that the bottom of the bulk bag adheres to the top of each of the tine receiving members.  
   
   
       5 . The pallet as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the means for securing the bulk bag to the tine receiving member are ropes secured to the bulk bag which are adapted to engage the at least one receiving channels of each of the tine receiving members  
   
   
       6 . The pallet as defined in  claim 1 , wherein inwardly extending edge reinforcement extends longitudinally along a bottom edge of each of the opposed sides.  
   
   
       7 . The pallet as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the tine receiving members are made from polymer plastic.  
   
   
       8 . A pallet for bulk bags, comprising in combination: 
 a pair of elongate “C” channel tine receiving members, each of the tine receiving members having a top and opposed sides defining both an exterior surface and an interior surface, with at least one strap receiving channel running along the interior surface at the top, the exterior surface being devoid of appendages and the interior surface being devoid of obstructions; and    a bulk bag having sides and a bottom, straps being secured to the bulk bag which are adapted to engage the at least one strap receiving channel of each of the tine receiving members for the purpose of securing the tine receiving members to the bottom of the bulk bag.    
   
   
       9 . The pallet as defined in  claim 8 , wherein inwardly extending edge reinforcement extends longitudinally along a bottom edge of each of the opposed sides.  
   
   
       10 . The pallet as defined in  claim 8 , wherein the tine receiving members are made from polymer plastic.
