Abstract
A transport bag for a conveying apparatus includes a first bag wall, a second bag wall, and a suspension apparatus arranged at an upper end of one of the bag walls. Closing elements, which can reversibly be coupled to each other, are arranged at a bottom end of the bag walls remote from the suspension apparatus, with which the bottom ends of the bag walls can be connected to each other to form a bag base. The closing elements are latching strips oriented in parallel with respect to each other and can be latched onto each other. The latching strips are formed in such a way that they are displaceable from a transport position closing the transport bag at the bottom end and latches them together by displacement relative to each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the latching strips into an unlatching position in which the latching strips are releasable from each other, for opening the transport bag at the bottom end.
