Abstract
A headerless pack of thermoplastic film bags having weak bag to bag seals to make said pack and a teardrop like shaped supporting opening whereby said pack is supported on a dispenser rod through said opening and a single bag can easily be removed by pulling down on said bag thereby breaking said seals and tearing through said opening.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A headerless plastic bag pack comprising:
a) a plurality of generally congruent plastic film bags each sealed at the sides and bottom and open at the top; b) said bags being held one to another to provide said pack by seals of limited size and easily detachable strength adjacent the top of said bags; c) each of said bags having a support opening adapted to receive a bag supporting rod and designed to tear substantially directly upward toward said open top of the bag when a downward removing force is applied; d) said support opening being located centrally and adjacent said seals and the top of said bag; and e) whereby minimal downward force applied by the user will break said seals and cause said bag to tear upwardly toward and through said open top and from said supporting rod to make said bag available for use.
2 . The bag pack of claim 1 wherein said support opening is teardrop shaped.
3 . The bag pack of claim 2 wherein said seals are cold seals.
4 . The bag pack of claim 2 wherein said seals are hot seals.
5 . The method of making a plastic bag pack comprising:
a) constructing a plurality of plastic bags welded at the bottom and sides and open at the top; b) piling said bags in congruent relationship; c) sealing said bags together by seals of limited size and easily detachable strength; and d) punching a teardrop shaped support opening through said bags in an area adjacent said seals and the top opening of said bag.
6 . The method of claim 5 wherein said seals are made by protruding a needle through said piled bags and into an absorbing surface.
7 . The method of claim 6 wherein said needle is heated and said surface is a Teflon pad.
8 . The method of claim 6 wherein said needle is cold and said surface is a rubbery material.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
