Abstract

A four wall flat bottom bag made with an additional gusset at each corner that extends outside the walls of the bag, making the bag much easier to grip and carry when filled by gripping the outward facing corner gussets as handles. The outward facing gussets make the bag easier to open, by gripping the gussets to pull the bag open when tall bags cannot be reached from the inside bottom to push open. The outward facing gussets help to keep the bag open by providing additional expansion and support at the corners. The outward facing gussets give the bag more stability, making it less likely to tip over when filled. The gussets make the bag less likely to tear at the mouth when being filled by creating a larger opening, making the bag much easier to fill and increasing its capacity.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A four wall flat bottom bag made from a single sheet of paper or matter with an additional gusset at each corner that extends in an outward direction, beyond the outside walls of the bag and runs the entire length of the bag, including the base. The outward facing gussets at each corner do not require any additional adhesives and are intended to expand into an open position and to remain open. 
   
   
       2 . A bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the outward facing corner gussets make the bag much easier to grip and carry when filled by gripping the outward facing corner gussets and using them as handles. 
   
   
       3 . A bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the outward facing corner gussets make the bag much easier to open by gripping the gussets to pull the bag open, especially when a tall bag cannot be reached from the inside bottom of the bag to push it open. 
   
   
       4 . A bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the outward facing corner gussets assist in keeping the bag open by providing additional expansion at the corners. 
   
   
       5 . A bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the outward facing corner gussets assist in keeping the bag open by providing additional stiffness at the corners. 
   
   
       6 . A bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the outward facing corner gussets give the bag more stability, making it less likely to tip over when filled. 
   
   
       7 . A bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the outward facing corner gussets create a larger opening, making the bag less likely to tear at the mouth when being filled. 
   
   
       8 . A bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the outward facing corner gussets create a larger opening, making the bag much easier to fill. 
   
   
       9 . A bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the outward facing corner gussets increase the capacity of the bag. 
   
   
       10 . A bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the outward facing corner gussets may include die cutting to create additional detailing of the handles.
