Abstract: A light-weight side gusset for a bag includes a formed composite frame having a peripheral raised region and a depressed central region. An opening through the depressed central region forms a relatively narrow border portion around the inner periphery of the raised region. A central panel corresponding in configuration to the outline of the depressed region is attached to the border portion of the depressed region to cover the opening therethrough. The composite frame is made up of a moldable substrate, e.g. ethyl vinyl acetate foam, an outer layer wear-resistant material, e.g., high-denier nylon or poly/nylon combination, and, preferably, an inner adherent layer, e.g., the loop half of a hook-and-loop fabric. Methods of manufacturing the composite frame, a gusset including such frame, and a bag including such gusset are also disclosed.

Abstract translation: 用于袋子的轻质侧部角撑板包括具有周边凸起区域和凹陷中心区域的成形复合框架。 通过凹陷的中央区域的开口围绕凸起区域的内周形成相对窄的边界部分。 与凹陷区域的轮廓相对应的中央面板被附接到凹陷区域的边界部分以覆盖其中的开口。 复合框架由可模制的基底，例如， 乙基乙酸乙烯酯泡沫，外层耐磨材料，例如高旦尼龙或聚尼龙组合，以及优选内部粘合层，例如钩环织物的环形半部。 还公开了制造复合框架的方法，包括这种框架的角撑板以及包括这种角撑板的袋子。
