Abstract

The present invention relates to a product container for rolls of product, particularly coreless rolls of trash bags. It may comprise a top panel, a bottom panel, a flexible outer wrap and multiple rolls of product. The top panel and the bottom panel may cover each or both ends of the rolls of product while the flexible outer wrap is placed securely around the top panel, the bottom panel, and the rolls of product. A leader may be attached to an innermost unit of the roll of product to facilitate removal of the innermost unit. To enable pulling and separating adjacent individual units from the product container, a partial separation may be defined between adjacent individual units.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A product container comprising:
 a first roll of product having a first end and a second end with a central axis extending between the first end and the second end,   a top panel perpendicular to the central axis of the first roll of product, the top panel at least partially covering a first end of the first roll of product,   a flexible outer wrap placed securely around the top panel and the first roll of product, and   a first leader attached to an innermost unit of the first roll of product and to the flexible outer wrap.   
     
     
         2 . The product container of  claim 1  further comprising:
 the first leader comprising a polymeric film and attached to the innermost unit by an adhesive. 
 
     
     
         3 . The product container of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first access hole located in the top panel proximate the central axis of the first roll of product, the first access hole providing exterior access to the first roll of product.   
     
     
         4 . The product container of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 the first access hole being comprised of a portion of the top panel that is separable.   
     
     
         5 . The product container of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 the first access hole being covered by a first removable cover.   
     
     
         6 . The product container of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a bottom panel,   wherein the bottom panel is perpendicular to the central axis of the first roll of product, and   wherein the bottom panel is at least partially covering a second end of the first roll of product.   
     
     
         7 . The product container of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a second roll of product, the second roll of product having a first end and a second end with a central axis extending between the first end and the second end, and   wherein the top panel is perpendicular to the central axis of the second roll of product, and   wherein the top panel is at least at least partially covering a first end of the second roll of product.   
     
     
         8 . The product container of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a first access hole located in the top panel proximate the central axis of the first roll of product, the first access hole providing exterior access to the first roll of product, and   a second access hole located in the top panel proximate the central axis of the second roll of product, the second access hole providing exterior access to the second roll of product.   
     
     
         9 . A product container comprising:
 a first roll of product having a first end and a second end with a central axis extending between the first end and the second end,   a top panel perpendicular to the central axis of the first roll of product, the top panel at least partially covering a first end of the first roll of product,   a flexible outer wrap placed securely around the top panel and the first roll of product, and   a first leader comprising of a polymeric film and attached to an innermost unit of the first roll of product by an adhesive.   
     
     
         10 . The product container of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 the first leader attached to the top panel.   
     
     
         11 . The product container of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 the first leader attached to the flexible outer wrap.   
     
     
         12 . The product container of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a bottom panel,   wherein the bottom panel is perpendicular to the central axis of the first roll of product, and   wherein the bottom panel is at least partially covering a second end of the first roll of product.   
     
     
         13 . A product container comprising:
 a first roll of product having a first end and a second end with a central axis extending between the first end and the second end,   a top panel perpendicular to the central axis of the first roll of product, the top panel at least partially covering a first end of the first roll of product,   a flexible outer wrap placed securely around the top panel and the first roll of product, and   the first roll of product comprising at least an innermost unit and an adjacent unit, a partial separation defined between the innermost unit and the adjacent unit,   the partial separation comprising at least a central section, a first outer section and a second outer section,   the innermost unit and the adjacent unit detached from each other within the central section,   the innermost unit and the adjacent unit attached to each other via perforations within the first outer section and the second outer section.   
     
     
         14 . The product container of  claim 13  wherein the first outer section is proximate to a bottom edge of the innermost unit and adjacent unit, and the second outer section is proximate to a top edge of the innermost and adjacent units. 
     
     
         15 . The product container of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 the innermost unit and adjacent unit detached from each other within the central section by severed perforations.   
     
     
         16 . The product container of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 the partial separation extending from a bottom edge to a top edge of the innermost unit and the adjacent unit.   
     
     
         17 . The product container of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 a leader attached to the innermost unit.
