Abstract
Abstract The invention is concerned with a stacking frame 1 which is useful to improve the storage and handling of particulate materials contained in bulk bag container means 6. The stacking frame 1 is capable of stacking one on top of another as much as five such frames so that the bulk containers therein are stored with good stability. Since the bag is suspended from a carrier frame section 2 which is removable from the legs 4 of the stacking frame 2 the movement of a bulk bag 6 into the frame 1 for stacking purposes or out of the stacking frame 1 when the bag 6 is to be utilized to deliver its contents, is facilitated.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A bulk bag stacking frame comprising a carrier frame section, legs for supporting the carrier frame and which arc adapted to stand upon the carrier frame of a similar bulk bag stacking frame, anchor means on the carrier frame to suspend a filled bulk bag therefrom so that with the carrier frame supported by the legs the bag is located within the stacking frame, and stabilizer formations on the stacking frame for engagement with the tines of a fork lift to facilitate lifting of the stacking frame.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
34 words
The bulk bag stacking frame of claim i in which the legs include struts extending therebetween and the stabilizer formations comprise spaced channel members extending between struts on opposite sides of the stacking frame.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
The bulk bag stacking frame of claim 1 or claim 2 in which the carrier frame and legs are separate and have separate stabilizer formations thereon for engagement with the tines of a fork lift whereby the stacking frame as a whole can be raised or the carrier frame and bag suspended therefrom can be raised separately from the legs.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
The bulk bag stacking frame of claims 2 and 3 in which the stabilizer formations on the carrier frame also comprise spaced channel members which extend between opposite sides of the carrier frame and on the upper side thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
5 . The bulk bag stacking frame of any one of the above claims in which the carrier frame includes upstanding guide means adapted to facilitate stacking of one stacking frame upon another.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
The bulk bag stacking frame of any one of the above claims in which the lower and upper zones of stacked frames nest one within another.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
7 . The bulk bag stacking frame of any one of the above claims in which the carrier frame section is rectangular and the stacking .frame includes legs located at the cornets thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
35 words
The bulk bag stacking frame of claim 7 in so far as it is dependant upon claim 5 in which the guide means comprise inverted V-shaped rods located at the corners of the carrier frame.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
The bulk bag stacking frame of any one of the above claims in which the anchor means on the carrier frame comprises hooks spaced around the carrier frame to engage the hanger straps on a bulk bag.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
40 words
10 . The bulk bag stacking frame of claim 9 in which each hook is associated with at least one bar member spaced from the hook about which a hanger strap may be laced before being anchored to a hook.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
44 words
The bulk bag stacking frame of claims 8 and 10 in which hook and bar anchor means are located at each corner of the carrier frame, at least one bar extending between the limbs of the inverted V-shaped guide rods towards the apices thereof.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
26 words
A method of stacking bulk bags comprising suspending a bag within a frame member and stacking similar frame members, with bags suspended therein, one upon another.
