Abstract
Abstract A flexible case hanging device for hanging and extending a flexible case such as an inner bag for a container comprises a belt member one end of which is fixed to a side edge along one edge of a corner of the inner bag and a free end of which is anchored by a buckle provided on a side edge along the other edge of the corner, and an annular body provided at a vertex of the corner. Part of the belt member passes through the annular body to form a loop of the belt member. The loop is adjustable into smaller sizes by pulling the free end of the belt member. The loop is fixed to an inner wall of the container. The free end of the belt member is fixed by the buckle. When the free end of the belt member is pulled to make smaller the loop of the belt member, the side edge and the vertex of the corner of the inner bag can be pulled to eliminate or prevent slack of the bag.
