Description
~ 2156796 BACKGROUND TO lllE INVENTION
This invention relates to high strength bags or tubes of the type which may be used, for example, to store m~teri~ or chemicals for transportation which is of high strength but is liquid impervious. The invention can also be ext~n~led to tubular applications such as venfflation ducts, ple~urG hoses and the like.
The aforementioned type of products have in the past been made from a fabric or fabric-like m~t~ri~l which provides flexibility for the product but which gives the product strength and durability. However, prior art products of this type have generally compri~e~l an outer liquid pervious tubular member and an inner liquid h,ll,cl~ious tubular sheath which is sep~dle from the outer member, or a tubular member which is made up of a series of dirr~le~l layers which are woven or wound in situ. These constructions tend to be either unacceptably G~Gnsi~G for the purpose int~n-le~l or are difficult and costly to produce. Other bags have been made with sewn seams but this method of construction is often unacceptable because the needle punctures tend to weaken the fabric and also provide leakage holes for liquids contained in the bag.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the invention there is provided a tubular member comprising, an inner tubular fabric sheath of selected length and selected circumference, a first fabric sheet l~.,.it~ çd to one side of the tubular fabric sheath and having a width which is greater than half the circumference of the tubular sheath, the first fabric sheet having opposite longitudinal side edges which run generally parallel to the length of the tubular sheath and extend beyond opposite side edges thereof, a second fabric sheet l~min~tçd to the opposite side of the tubular fabric sheath and having a width which is greater than half the cir~ lfelence of the tubular sheath, the second fabric sheet having opposite longitu-lin~l side edges which run generally parallel to the length of the tubular sheath and extend beyond opposite side edges thereof, the respective opposite side edges of the first and second sheets being l~min~tçd together so as to encapsulate the tubular sheath between the first and second sheets.
Preferably the tubular fabric sheath is seamless along its length. The fabric from which the sheath and the first and second fabric sheets are made may comprise a woven poly~io~ylene cloth. The m~tt~ri~l used for l~min~ttion may comprise polyethylene, polyl.l~ylene or the like. ~lt~rn~tively polyethylene cloth may be used with a polyethylene l~ g m~t~ri~l One or both ends of the tubular member may be sealed to form a sealed bag.
The sealed bag may have a valve fitted thereto for introducing material into the interior of the bag. The ends of the tubular member may be folded over one or more times with the fold line running generally perpendicular to the length of the tubular member to form said sealed ends. The m~teri~l between each fold is preferably adhesively bonded to enhance the seal.
An embodiment of the invention is described in detail in the following passages of the specification which refer to the accolllpal-yhlg drawings.
The drawings are, however, merely illustrative of how the invention might be put into effect so that the specific fealules shown are not to be construed as limiting on the invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Figure 1 shows a p~.~e~ilive view of a tubular member according to the invention exploded into its component parts;
Figure 2 shows a similar view to that of Figure 1 with the tubular member bonded together;
Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view along lines II-II depicted in Figure 2;
Figure 4 shows a pc.~e-;live view of an end of a tubular member sealed in a typical manner, and Figure 5 shows a diagrammatic side view of an app~dlus for forming a tubular member according to the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Referring initially to Figures 1 and 3 of the drawings, a tubular member 10 according to the invention is compri~e(l of an inner tubular sheath 12 which is shown in generally flat configuration but which will expand out to circular form when int~rn~lly filled or ~ s~ e~l A tubular sheath 12 is formed of a fabric material such as woven polyl,io~ylene cloth and will generally be m~mlf~lred in a continuous process in lengths of 500m to 1500m or more.
A first fabric sheet 14 is l~min~tç~l to one side 16 of the tubular sheath 12 and a second fabric sheet 18 is l~min~tecl to the opposite side 20 of the tubular sheath 12. T ~min~tion will preferably be done by applying a suitable l~min~tinp m~t~ri~l, such as polyethylene, to first the one side and then the opposite side of the sheath 12 as will be described in more detail herebelow.
The width of the tubular sheath when lying flat is indicated in Figure l as being "wi". "Wi" is thus basically equivalent to half the ci~ ferellce of the tubular sheath. The width of the first and second sheets 14 and 18 is indicated in Figure 1 as being "wo". "Wo" is wider than "wi" so that longitll-lin~l side edges indicated at numeral 22 project beyond the opposite edges of the tubular sheath 12 when in the assembled condition as shown in Figure 2 of the drawings. Thus, when the first and second sheets 14 and 18 are bonded to opposite sides of the sheath 12, the longit~l~lin~l side edges 22 of the two sheets 14 and 18 extend beyond the opposite side edges of the sheath to form overlapping edge strips 24 which run along each side of the sheath 12. The edges 22 are thus in face to face contact with each other and are l~ çcl together with the effect that the entire circumference of the sheath 12 is effectively sealed along the full length of the sheath 12. The cross-sectional form of the composite sheath is shown in Figure 3 with the l~."in~ g m~tt~ri~l indicated at numeral 19. The l~n in~tin~ material is depicted as being relatively thick but, in practice, the thickness of the l~min~tçcl m~t.ori~l will in most circllm~t~nces be less than lmm.
If so required, the ends 26 of the tubular member 10 may be sealed so as to form a sealed bag. Referring to Figure 2, access to the interior 28 of the 21~6796 tubular member 10 is provided through a valve 30 which may be adapted to permit the introduction of a fluid into, or the release of a fluid from, the interior 28 of the tubular member 10. ~lt~rn~tively, the valve 30 may comprise a suitable one-way valve adapted to permit the introduction of a fluid under plc;,~we into the interior 28 of the tubular member 10 such that the pl`e3~ will be m~int~ined within the tubular member 10 after the nozzle used for introducing the fluid has been removed from the valve 30.
Since providing the valve 30 in the tubular member 10 will provide a weak point for the tubular member it is preferred that a reinforcing band or strap 32 is fitted around the cil~;wl~lence of the tubular member 10 in the region of the valve 30.
Turning now to Figure 4 of the drawings, the sealing of an end 26 of a tubular member in a typical manner is depicted. The end 26 is preferably folded over one or more times along fold lines running generally perpendicular to the length of the tubular member 10 to form the sealed end.
After each fold is made an adhesive will be applied to the region where the next fold will take place so that each face of the fold is adhered to another.
Theledrl~ reillfolcillg straps or bands 40 may be adhered around the entire folded end to complete the sealing of the end of the tubular member 10.
The straps 40 will serve to resist the tendency of the ends to unfold as the iW`e within the tubular member 10 increases. Tests have shown that this type of sealing of the end of the tubular member is particularly effective.
It is pl~r~l~d that a continuous process is used to form the tubular member 10 depicted in Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings. A typical process is described with ler~ence to Figure S of the drawings. It is envisaged that the inner tubular sheath 12 will be provided in a roll indicated at numeral 34, the first sheet m~t~ri~l 14 will be provided in a roll indicated at numeral 36 and a second sheet m~tP.ri~l 18 will be provided in a roll indicated at numeral 38. The first sheet m~t~ri~l 14 will run in the direction of the arrow SO past rollers 42 to a l~min~tion station 44 where the underside of the inner tubular sheath 12 and the edges 22 of the first sheet 14 will be coated with l~min~te T.~min~tion rollers 43 will press the sheath 12 and sheet 14 together at this l~min~tion station 44. From there the composite sheet w~ill pass to a second l~min~tion station 46 which will apply l~
to the upper side of the sheath 12 and will also serve to l~",i~ 1e the edges 22 of the sheets 14 and 18 together. T.~min~tion rollers 45 will press the composite sheet together at this l~min~tion station 46. The composite m~teri~l 10 will be rolled onto a roll 48.
Clearly, depending on the m~t~ri~l from which the sheets 14 and 18 and the sheaths 12 are formed, as well as the material used for the l~min~tion, the process may need to undergo additional steps such as heating for example.
It will, however, be appreciated that the process of forming the tubular member 10 depicted in Figures 1, 2 and 3 can be conducted as a continuous process. Thelear~l the tubular member may be cut to the desired lengths and, if so required, the ends 26 of the tubular member may be sealed so as to form a sealed bag.
Any suitable material may be used to form the tubular member shown in the drawings although it is prerelled that woven polyl,iopylene cloth is used.
A polyethylene material can be used for l~min~tion which will seal the fabric used as well as l~."i~ g the fabric sheets together.
It will be appreciated that if so required, the ends of the tubular member may be sealed to form a bag according to a number of dirr.,relll methods.
For example, it may be simpler to form a sealed end with a single fold rather than a number of folds provided that adhesive is applied to the interior of the tubular member adjacent to the ends of the member prior to the folding of such ends.
Clearly, this invention can be used in a number of applications not only for the m~mlf~ctllre of tubes and bags but also for the m~nllf~ctllre of ventilationducts, ple~ e hoses and the like.
This invention relates to high strength bags or tubes of the type which may be used, for example, to store m~teri~ or chemicals for transportation which is of high strength but is liquid impervious. The invention can also be ext~n~led to tubular applications such as venfflation ducts, ple~urG hoses and the like.
The aforementioned type of products have in the past been made from a fabric or fabric-like m~t~ri~l which provides flexibility for the product but which gives the product strength and durability. However, prior art products of this type have generally compri~e~l an outer liquid pervious tubular member and an inner liquid h,ll,cl~ious tubular sheath which is sep~dle from the outer member, or a tubular member which is made up of a series of dirr~le~l layers which are woven or wound in situ. These constructions tend to be either unacceptably G~Gnsi~G for the purpose int~n-le~l or are difficult and costly to produce. Other bags have been made with sewn seams but this method of construction is often unacceptable because the needle punctures tend to weaken the fabric and also provide leakage holes for liquids contained in the bag.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Referring initially to Figures 1 and 3 of the drawings, a tubular member 10 according to the invention is compri~e(l of an inner tubular sheath 12 which is shown in generally flat configuration but which will expand out to circular form when int~rn~lly filled or ~ s~ e~l A tubular sheath 12 is formed of a fabric material such as woven polyl,io~ylene cloth and will generally be m~mlf~lred in a continuous process in lengths of 500m to 1500m or more.
A first fabric sheet 14 is l~min~tç~l to one side 16 of the tubular sheath 12 and a second fabric sheet 18 is l~min~tecl to the opposite side 20 of the tubular sheath 12. T ~min~tion will preferably be done by applying a suitable l~min~tinp m~t~ri~l, such as polyethylene, to first the one side and then the opposite side of the sheath 12 as will be described in more detail herebelow.
The width of the tubular sheath when lying flat is indicated in Figure l as being "wi". "Wi" is thus basically equivalent to half the ci~ ferellce of the tubular sheath. The width of the first and second sheets 14 and 18 is indicated in Figure 1 as being "wo". "Wo" is wider than "wi" so that longitll-lin~l side edges indicated at numeral 22 project beyond the opposite edges of the tubular sheath 12 when in the assembled condition as shown in Figure 2 of the drawings. Thus, when the first and second sheets 14 and 18 are bonded to opposite sides of the sheath 12, the longit~l~lin~l side edges 22 of the two sheets 14 and 18 extend beyond the opposite side edges of the sheath to form overlapping edge strips 24 which run along each side of the sheath 12. The edges 22 are thus in face to face contact with each other and are l~ çcl together with the effect that the entire circumference of the sheath 12 is effectively sealed along the full length of the sheath 12. The cross-sectional form of the composite sheath is shown in Figure 3 with the l~."in~ g m~tt~ri~l indicated at numeral 19. The l~n in~tin~ material is depicted as being relatively thick but, in practice, the thickness of the l~min~tçcl m~t.ori~l will in most circllm~t~nces be less than lmm.
If so required, the ends 26 of the tubular member 10 may be sealed so as to form a sealed bag. Referring to Figure 2, access to the interior 28 of the 21~6796 tubular member 10 is provided through a valve 30 which may be adapted to permit the introduction of a fluid into, or the release of a fluid from, the interior 28 of the tubular member 10. ~lt~rn~tively, the valve 30 may comprise a suitable one-way valve adapted to permit the introduction of a fluid under plc;,~we into the interior 28 of the tubular member 10 such that the pl`e3~ will be m~int~ined within the tubular member 10 after the nozzle used for introducing the fluid has been removed from the valve 30.
Since providing the valve 30 in the tubular member 10 will provide a weak point for the tubular member it is preferred that a reinforcing band or strap 32 is fitted around the cil~;wl~lence of the tubular member 10 in the region of the valve 30.
