The cloudy quark bag model is applied to the coupled ([ital [bar K]N],[Sigma][pi],[Lambda][pi]) system for [ital S]-[ital D] partial waves. Energy-dependent separable potentials are derived, as are new numerical algorithms for solving the coupled Lippmann-Schwinger equations. The parameters of the model are fit to [ital K][sup [minus]][ital p] scattering and reaction cross sections, branching ratios, and mass spectra from [ital K][sup [minus]][ital p][r arrow][Sigma][pi][pi][pi],[Lambda][pi][pi][pi]. Within the constraints of the model, the branching ratio and [Sigma][pi] mass spectrum data are in conflict. The [Sigma][sub [ital p]13](1385) and [Lambda][sub [ital D]03](1520) resonances are found to be predominately elementary bag states with considerable dressing for the [Sigma][sub [ital P]13]. The [Lambda][sub [ital S]01] (1405) appears as a complicated composite systems arising from two poles. The model with certain parameter sets does predict two sign changes in the real part of the [ital [bar K]N] scattering amplitude near threshold, but they are not quite at the correct energies to produce agreement with the sign of the strong interaction shift of kaonic hydrogen.
