Bag construction with side gussets

Abstract

A bag construction filled with dispersible material. The bag construction has first and second panel sections, first and second side gusset sections and a bottom gusset panel section. The various panel sections are fastened together to form a generally rectangle shape with a flat bottom. The bottom gusset panel section has one or more distribution apertures in it. A removable panel layer is provided for covering the one or more apertures. When the removable panel layer is removed, the bag can be held so that the dispersible material disperses through the apertures as appropriate.

1 . A bag construction for dispersing dispersible material, comprising:
 first and second panel sections with each having bottom and side panel edges;   first and second side gusset panel sections with each having bottom and side gusset edges, one of said side panel edges of each of said first and second panel sections being fastened to one of said side gusset edges of each of said first and second side gusset panel sections;   a bottom gusset panel section with edges, each of said bottom panel edges of said first and second panel sections and said bottom gusset edges of said first and second side gusset panel sections being fastened to a different one of said edges of said bottom gusset panel section to form inner and outer surfaces, said bottom gusset panel section including at least one distribution aperture therein; and   a removable panel layer covering said aperture being removably fastened to the outer surface of said bottom gusset panel section wherein when said removable panel layer is fastened in place, said aperture is covered to prevent dispersing the dispersible material, and when said removable panel layer is removed from said bottom gusset panel section, said dispersible material may be dispersed through said aperture.   
   
   
       2 . The bag construction in accordance with  claim 1 , including a tape section removably fastened in an original position to one of said first and second panel sections, said first and second said gusset panel sections, and said bottom gusset panel section, wherein when said removable panel layer has been removed and some of said dispersible material has been dispersed, said bottom gusset panel can be folded or rolled from one of said edges to an opposite of said edges and said tape section removed from the original position to fasten one of said first and second panel sections to a portion of either said bottom gusset panel section or the other of said first and second panel sections. 
   
   
       3 . A bag construction for dispersing dispersible material comprising:
 first and second panel sections with each having bottom and side panel edges;   first and second side gusset panel sections with each having bottom and side gusset edges, one of said side panel edges of each of said first and second panel sections being fastened to one of said side gusset edges of each of said first and second side gusset panel sections;   a bottom gusset panel section with edges, each of said bottom panel edges of said first and second panel sections and said bottom gusset edges of said first and second side gusset panel sections being fastened to a different one of said edges of said bottom gusset panel section to form inner and outer surfaces, said bottom gusset panel section including at least one distribution aperture therein; and   means for removably covering said aperture, said covering means being fastened to the outer surface of said bottom gusset panel section wherein when said covering means is fastened in place, said aperture is covered to prevent dispersing the dispersible material and when said covering means is removed from covering said aperture, said dispersible material may be dispersed through said aperture.   
   
   
       4 . The bag construction in accordance with  claim 3 , including means for fastening together one of said first and second panel sections to a portion of either of said bottom gusset panel section or the other of said first and second panel sections, wherein when some of said dispersible material has been dispersed, said bottom gusset panel can be folded or rolled from one of said edges to an opposite of said edges to cover said aperture and said fastening means used to fasten one of said first and second panel sections to a portion of either said bottom gusset panel section or the other of said first and second panel sections. 
   
   
       5 . A method for using a bag construction wherein the bag construction allows for dispersing dispersible material, said bag construction including first and second panel sections with each having bottom and side panel edges; first and second side gusset panel sections with each having bottom and side gusset edges, one of said side panel edges of each of said first and second panel sections being fastened to one of said side gusset edges of each of said first and second side gusset panel sections; a bottom gusset panel section with edges, each of said bottom panel edges of said first and second panel sections and said bottom gusset edges of said first and second side gusset panel sections being fastened to a different one of said edges of said bottom gusset panel section to form inner and outer surfaces, said bottom gusset panel section including at least one distribution aperture therein; and means for removably covering said aperture, said covering means being fastened to the outer surface of said bottom gusset panel section, said method comprising:
 removing said covering means from covering said aperture; and   dispersing through said aperture at least some of said dispersible material.   
   
   
       6 . The method in accordance with  claim 5 , wherein said bag construction further includes means for fastening together one of said first and second panel sections to a portion of either of said bottom gusset panel section or the other of said first and second panel sections and wherein said method further includes:
 following said dispersing step, folding or rolling said bottom gusset panel from one of said edges toward an opposite of said edges to cover said aperture; and   fastening with said fastening means one of said first and second panel sections to a portion of either said bottom gusset panel section or the other of said first and second panel sections.
