Reusable and removable flexible bag or cell flood wall protection system

Abstract

A method of constructing and a system of utilizing a removable flexible bag or cell by providing a flexible bag or container or cell of the type having sidewalls, a sloping front wall and a vertical rear wall to define a space for holding material, such as sand; forming a bottom, which comprises a pair of panels, each panel extending two feet under the bag when the bag is filled with material; folding each panel back onto itself to end at the nearest edge; securing loops onto the end of each panel, which extend from out of the front and rear of the bag; securing the ends of the bag beneath the bag while the bag is being filled with material; pulling the loops away from the bag to pull the panels from under the bag so that the contents of the bag are exposed to the ground beneath the bag; and lifting the bag upward and way from the material contents of the bag, the material contents to remain in place on the ground upon which it had been set to continue to function as a barrier wall.

1 . A method of constructing a removable flexible bag or container comprising:
 a) providing a flexible bag or container of the type having sidewalls, a front wall and a rear wall to define a space for holding material, such as sand; and   b) forming a bottom, which comprises first and second panels, wherein a first panel extends from the rear wall and a second panel extends from the front wall, and wherein when the bag is lifted upward, an opening between the first and second panels allows the bag to be lifted away from any material contents of the bag.   
     
     
         2 . The method in  claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second panels are four feet long, with two feet of each of the first and second panels set under the bag, and two feet of each panel folded back onto itself. 
     
     
         3 . The method in  claim 2 , further comprising the step of securing a loop onto an end of each of the first and second panels, and positioning each loop so that it extends out from under the bag. 
     
     
         4 . The method in  claim 1 , wherein the first and second panels are temporarily secured under the bag or container. 
     
     
         5 . The method in  claim 4 , wherein the bag or container is reusable and wherein after being lifted away, the bag or container may be cleaned, the bottom panels re-secured in place, and the bag or container stored for further use. 
     
     
         6 . The method in  claim 1 , wherein the bag or container may be a group of a plurality of bags or containers interconnected with each bag or container having its own bottom panels to operate as claimed herein. 
     
     
         7 . A method of using a removable flexible bag or container, comprising the steps of:
 a) providing a flexible bag or container of the type having sidewalls, a front wall and a rear wall to define a space for holding material, such as sand;   b) forming a bottom, which comprises a pair of panels, each panel extending under the bag when the bag is filled with material so that the bottom of the bag is defined by the pair of panels;   c) filling the bag with material, such as sand; and   d) lifting the bag upward and away from the material contents of the bag.   
     
     
         8 . A removable flexible bag or cell, comprising:
 a) a flexible bag or cell of the type having sidewalls, a front wall and a rear wall to define a space for holding material, such as sand;   b) a bottom portion, which comprises a pair of panels;   c) each panel back folded onto itself under the bag or cell, wherein an end of each panel extends out to end at a nearest edge of the bag or cell;   d) a loop secured to the each end of each panel, so that a loop extends from out of a front and rear of the bag or cell; and   e) wherein pulling the loops away from the bag enable the panels from under the bag to be pulled out from under the contents of the bag so that the contents of the bag are exposed to a surface beneath the bag or cell and the bag or cell may be lifted upward and away from the material contents of the bag.   
     
     
         9 . The flexible bag or cell in  claim 8 , wherein each of the panels are four feet long, with two feet set under the bag, and two feet folded back onto itself. 
     
     
         10 . The flexible bag or cell in  claim 8 , wherein the loops extend one foot out from under the bag. 
     
     
         11 . The flexible bag or cell in  claim 8 , wherein the panels are secured under the bag or cell with a hog ring on each panel. 
     
     
         12 . The method in  claim 7 , wherein after the bag or cell is lifted away, the bag or cell is cleaned, the bottom panels are re-secured in place, and the bag is stored for further use. 
     
     
         13 . The flexible bag or cell in  claim 8 , wherein the bag or cell may be a group of a plurality of bags or cells interconnected with each bag or cell having its own bottom panels to operate as claimed herein. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the front wall is a sloping front wall. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 7  wherein the front wall is a sloping front wall. 
     
     
         16 . The flexible bag or cell of  claim 8  wherein the front wall is a sloping front wall. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein a hog ring on each panel is used to temporarily secure each panel beneath the bag or container. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 7  wherein step “b” further comprises folding each panel back onto itself to end at a nearest edge of the bag or container. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18  further comprising the step of securing loops onto a folded back end of each panel, so that there is a loop extending from out of a front and a rear of the bag. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18  further comprising temporarily securing the panels beneath the bag or container prior to filling the bag or container. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 19  further comprising the step of pulling the loops away from the bag or container to pull the panels out from under the bag or container so that the contents of the bag or container are exposed to a surface beneath the bag or container, prior to lifting the bag or container. 
     
     
         22 . A removable flexible bag or container, comprising:
 a) a flexible bag or container of the type having sidewalls, a front wall and a rear wall to define a space for holding material, such as sand; and   b) a bottom portion, which comprises a pair of panels, wherein a first panel of the pair extends from a rear wall and a second panel of the pair extends from a front wall, and wherein a space remains between the first and second panels, wherein the bag or container may be lifted away from any material contents of the bags and wherein any material contents of the bag will remain in place.
