Abstract
An inflatable bulk material cargo container liner has a plurality of inflatable air bags integrally incorporated therein. The inflatable air bags have substantially right triangular configurations when disposed in their inflated states such that hypotenuse portions of the inflatable air bags are inclined downwardly with respect to the bottom surface portion of the bulk material cargo container liner. When the inflatable air bags are inflated, the bulk material cargo load can be discharged from the bulk material cargo container liner without the need for tilting the bulk material cargo container and the liner contained therein. In addition, the bulk material cargo container, can be used as a silo or storage facility wherein the air bags can be inflated to predetermined degrees so as to cause predetermined portions of the bulk cargo load to be discharged as desired.
