Container comprising a flexible internal part
First Claim
1. A container having a flexible internal part with a discharge area, a sword member arranged in said discharge area so as to subdivide said discharge area into at least two outlet portions, and a closure mechanism arranged in said discharge area outside said flexible internal part, said closure mechanism comprising independently movable locking levers, each of said locking levers having a locking roll arranged at an end thereof being operable to press respective portions of said flexible internal part laterally against said sword member to selectively close one or the other of said outlet portions, each locking roll moving on a circular path around a fulcrum of the locking lever on which it is mounted to sealingly close the respective outlet portion when the respective locking lever is pivoted against said sword member.

Abstract
The invention relates to a container with a flexible internal part (6), particularly suitable for weighing bulk material, comprising a closure mechanism within the exit area of the internal part (6) as well as at least two partial exits (18, 19) to be charged, located at the internal part (6) for further processing said bulk material. By means of said locking mechanism, it is practicable to press at least one partial area of the flexible internal part (6) laterally from outside against a sword (14) which is located inside within the exit area of the internal part. This way, said sword (14) separates the partial exits (18, 19) from each other, whereby in each case, one of the partial exits (18, 19) is closable.
