Abstract (en)

Container 46 having suspension loop 44 is made by folding flat a length of woven tube. One side portion of the tube, including folded or flattened edge 12 is tucked in as a gusset 20 and the open transverse edges of the tube are folded over and seamed along their lengths as at 26, 30 and 28, 32, leaving unseamed a side portion approximately equal in extent to the gusseted portion 20. This non-seamed non-gusseted portion is bunched and bound by a sleeve 42 to form the loop 44 with openings 38 to the interior of the container at each side thereof. The gusset 20 provides the bottom of the finished container 46 in which the continuous wefts extend endlessly through the bottom, the sides and the loop 44 to assure the strength of the construction. Plural loops 44 can be obtained by forming one or more cuts substantially parallel to the seams 30, 32 in the non-gusseted side.
