Flexible bag, in particular for office machines

Claim 1

A flexible bag in particular for office machines, comprising a container for housing an office machine for protecting the machine and making transportation thereof easier, wherein the container is of flexible plastic material having an internal sheet and an external sheet which are welded together for defining a sealed chamber capable of being filled with air at low pressure and such as to cause the container to assume a substantially parallelepipedic external shape having an opening for allowing the machine to pass therethrough and an internal cavity for housing the machine, wherein the internal sheet and the external sheet are welded in such a way as to form a series of tubes of cylindrical section and a series of flexible elastic seams for connecting the series of tubes, wherein the internal sheet and the external sheet are formed by external parts of said tubes of said series of each sheet is formed by a series of mutually adjacent semicylinders which define internal walls and external walls of the container, two movable flaps positioned adjacent to the opening and having closure means for opening and for closing the opening, two handles which project from the parallelepipedic shape for facilitating transportation of said container, and elements for permitting the container to be inflated when it is to be used and to be deflated when it is not in use and to reduce the bulk thereof, wherein said elements are positioned in one tube of said series, wherein the plurality of flexible elastic seams comprises a series of internal openings for allowing the air to pass between each of series of tubes thereby to form said sealed chamber, wherein the movable flaps are each formed by two tubes of said series connected by the flexible elastic seams, and wherein each handle is formed by a handle member-shaped tube having the lower ends connected by the flexible elastic seams to the respective tube of the movable flaps.
