Bag with reinforced walls

Abstract

A bag with reinforced walls has four walls formed into a rectangular prismatic shape with a closed bottom. Each wall has a flap opposite the bottom of a rectangular shape. A flap has less width than a wall. Upon each flap is a first strip and upon each wall is a second strip where the first and second strips mutually align. During use, each flap is folded over a frame and the strips mutually engage. Each wall merges with two adjacent walls upon a fold line. Where the flaps of adjacent walls adjoin, each wall and each flap has a reinforcing layer. The reinforcing layer extends partially along the flap and partially down the wall. The reinforcing layer has a generally narrow and elongated shape.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A device to collect debris, said device comprising:
 four walls spaced apart in a prismatic shape, said walls forming from three parallel spaced apart folds, said folds having a length generally defining a height of said device and each of said walls having a width;   a bottom formed beneath said four walls closing said device;   each of said walls having a base flap and an opposite flap, said flap having a second fold to said wall;   a reinforcing band proximate the joining of each of said flaps to each of said walls; and,   each of said flaps having a connection to said wall wherein upon folding each of said flaps outwardly from said device, said flap remain upon said wall during its usage, and upon unfolding each of said flaps from said wall inwardly to said device, said flap closes said device opposite said bottom.   
     
     
         2 . The debris collecting device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 each of said walls having a second fold mutually engaging said flap and said wall. 
 
     
     
         3 . The debris collecting device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a tab, extending outwardly from one of said walls, said tab spanning between said flap and said base flap and of similar length as said fold, where said tab secures one of said walls to another of said walls forming said device into its prismatic shape. 
 
     
     
         4 . The debris collecting device of  claim 2  further comprising:
 a first strip upon each of said flaps; 
 each of said walls having a second strip symmetrically spaced about said second fold from each of said first strips; and, 
 said first strips and said second strips being one of adhesive, mechanical fastener, or magnetic. 
 
     
     
         5 . The debris collecting device of  claim 4  wherein said first strips and said second strips are peel and stick adhesive. 
     
     
         6 . The debris collecting device of  claim 4  wherein said first strips and said second strips are releasable adhesive. 
     
     
         7 . The debris collecting device of  claim 4  wherein said first strips and said second strips are one of cooperating hook and loop fasteners or string and button. 
     
     
         8 . The debris collecting device of  claim 3  further comprising:
 each of said flaps having a width along said second fold of lesser length than the width of one of said walls. 
 
     
     
         9 . A self standing container for debris, said container comprising:
 a planar sheet;   said sheet having a first wall, generally rectangular in shape, a second wall mutually contiguous from said first wall and generally rectangular in shape, a third wall mutually contiguous from said second wall and generally rectangular in shape, a fourth wall mutually contiguous from said third wall and generally rectangular in shape, and a tab mutually contiguous from said fourth wall and opposite said third wall;   said first wall, said second wall, said third wall, and said fourth wall cooperating to form a prismatic shape upon three parallel spaced apart folds, said tab connecting to said first wall opposite said second wall, and said folds having a length generally defining a height of said device and each of said walls having a width;   each of said first wall, said second wall, said third wall, and said fourth wall having a base flap and an opposite flap, each of said flaps having a second fold to its respective wall;   a bottom formed by closing said base flaps of each of said first wall, said second wall, said third wall, and said fourth wall thus said bottom closes said device;   a plurality of reinforcing bands proximate each of said flaps at its second fold to each of said walls;   each of said flaps having a connection to said wall wherein upon rotating each of said flaps outwardly from said device, said flap remains upon said wall during its usage, and upon rotating each of said flaps from said wall inwardly to said device, said flap closes said device opposite said bottom; and,   said sheet having an outer surface displayed outwardly of said prismatic shape and an opposite inner surface concealed within said prismatic shape, said outer surface including said connection of said flaps and said plurality of reinforcing bands and said inner surface including said plurality of reinforcing bands.   
     
     
         10 . The self standing container for debris of  claim 9  further comprising:
 a first strip upon each of said flaps; 
 each of said walls having a second strip symmetrically spaced about said second fold from each of said first strips; and, 
 said first strips and said second strips being one of adhesive, mechanical fastener, or magnetic. 
 
     
     
         11 . The debris collecting device of  claim 10  wherein said first strips and said second strips are peel and stick adhesive. 
     
     
         12 . The debris collecting device of  claim 10  wherein said first strips and said second strips are releasable adhesive. 
     
     
         13 . The debris collecting device of  claim 10  wherein said first strips and said second strips are one of cooperating hook and loop fasteners or string and button. 
     
     
         14 . The debris collecting device of  claim 3  further comprising:
 each of said flaps having a lesser width along said second fold than the width of one of said walls. 
 
     
     
         15 . A debris collecting container, said container comprising:
 four walls spaced apart in a rectangular prismatic shape, each pair of walls having a common fold, and each wall having a width;   a bottom formed beneath said four walls closing said device;   each of said walls having a base flap and an opposite flap, said flap having a second fold to said wall, and each of said flaps having a width along said second fold of lesser length than the width of one of said walls;   a tab, extending from one of said walls, said tab spanning between said flap and said base flap outwardly from said wall, wherein said tab secures one of said walls to another of said walls forming said device into its prismatic shape;   a reinforcing band proximate the joining of each of said flaps to each of said walls;   each of said flaps having a connection to said wall wherein upon folding each of said flaps outwardly from said device, said flap remain upon said wall during its usage, and upon unfolding each of said flaps from said wall inwardly to said device, said flap closes said device opposite said bottom; and,   said connection including a first strip upon each of said flaps, each of said walls having a second strip symmetrically spaced about said second fold from each of said first strips and said first strips and said second strips being one of adhesive, mechanical fastener, or magnetic wherein said adhesive includes peel and stick adhesive and releasable adhesive and said mechanical fastener includes hook and loop fasteners or string and button.
