Disposable portable bags and dispenser pouch

Abstract

A dispensing pouch comprises at least one polymeric bag or liner, and a polymeric dispensing section. At least one polymeric bag or liner comprises first and second body panels that are joined along a pair of opposing sides and a bottom bridging the sides so as to form an open mouth. The joined first and second body panels form an interior space for collecting items. The polymeric dispensing section is adapted to receive and contain the at least one polymeric bag or liner. The dispensing section is adapted to form an opening to access the at least one polymeric bag or liner. The dispensing section is limited to a predetermined size for enhanced portability. The predetermined size of the dispensing section includes, for example, a length less than about 4 inches and a width less than about 4 inches or an area less than about 15 square inches.

       14 . The dispensing pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing section has a removable window formed therein to assist in accessing the at least one bag or liner and a flap to cover the removable window.  
   
   
       15 . The dispensing pouch of  claim 14 , wherein the removeable window is removed via a perforation line.  
   
   
       16 . The dispensing pouch of  claim 14 , wherein the dispensing section further includes a two-sided resealable adhesive strip that is attached to the flap and the removable window.  
   
   
       17 . A method of using a dispensing pouch comprising: 
 providing at least one polymeric bag or liner and a polymeric dispensing section adapted to receive and contain the at least one polymeric bag or liner, the at least one polymeric bag or liner comprising first and second body panels joined along a pair of opposing sides and a bottom bridging the sides to form an open mouth, the joined first and second body panels forming an interior space for collecting items, the dispensing section having a removable window formed therein and a flap to cover the removable window, the dispensing section limited to a predetermined size for enhanced portability,    grasping and moving the flap to an open position so as to remove the removable window from a remainder of the dispensing section so as to form an opening in the dispensing section; and    grasping and removing one of the at least one polymeric bag or liner from the opening.    
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the dispensing section has a length less than about 4 inches and a width less than about 4 inches.
