Hygienic Produce Bags and Bags of Varied Sizes for Varied Uses

Abstract

An easy-open hygienic plastic produce bag and method of saliva-free opening provides enables facilitated opening of the bag for loading produce inside. The bag has thin, transparent sidewalls with four sides. The sides include a closed side, a pair of sealed lateral sides, and an openable side. The openable side has a first edge and a second edge that separate and come together to create an open position and a closed position, respectively. The openable side has a connected center region, where the first and second edges join; and a pair of open outer regions, where the first and second edges are separated. This separation creates a visual que for which end of bag is for loading fresh produce. By placing the fingers in the openings at the open outer regions, and prying the first and second edges

1 . An easy-open hygienic plastic produce bag, the bag comprising:
 a body having:
 a pair of sidewalls at least partially joined at four sides, the sides comprising a closed side, a pair of sealed lateral sides, and an openable side, 
 the openable side comprising a first edge and a second edge, 
 the openable side being defined by a connected center region, where the first and second edges join, 
 the openable side further being defined by a pair of open outer regions, where the first and second edges are in a spaced-apart relationship, 
 whereby prying the edges apart until the edges separate at the connected center region forms an open bag position. 
   
     
     
         2 . The bag of  claim 1 , wherein the sidewalls are at least partially transparent. 
     
     
         3 . The bag of  claim 1 , wherein the sidewalls have a rectangular shape. 
     
     
         4 . The bag of  claim 1 , wherein the closed side and the openable side are parallel. 
     
     
         5 . The bag of  claim 1 , wherein the pair of sealed lateral sides are parallel. 
     
     
         6 . The bag of  claim 1 , wherein the connected center region and the open outer regions form a figure eight shape. 
     
     
         7 . The bag of  claim 1 , wherein the connected center region of the openable side joins the first and second edges through at least one of the following: a weld, an adhesive, a wire, a magnet, and a friction fit mechanism. 
     
     
         8 . The bag of  claim 1 , wherein the open outer regions are at opposing ends of the openable side of the body. 
     
     
         9 . The bag of  claim 1 , wherein the closed side and the openable side are perforated. 
     
     
         10 . The bag of  claim 1 , wherein the body is sized and dimensioned to receive at least one fresh produce. 
     
     
         11 . The bag of  claim 1 , further comprising a tie operable to cinch the openable side. 
     
     
         12 . An easy-open hygienic plastic produce bag, the bag comprising:
 a body having:
 a pair of sidewalls having a rectangular shape, the sidewalls being at least partially transparent, the sidewalls at least partially joined at four sides, the sides comprising a closed side, a pair of sealed lateral sides, and an openable side, 
 the openable side comprising a first edge and a second edge, 
 the openable side being defined by a connected center region, where the first and second edges join, 
 the openable side further being defined by a pair of open outer regions, where the first and second edges are in a spaced-apart relationship, the open outer regions disposed at opposite ends of the openable side, 
 whereby prying the edges apart until the edges separate at the connected center region forms an open bag position. 
   
     
     
         13 . The bag of  claim 12 , wherein the closed side and the openable side are parallel. 
     
     
         14 . The bag of  claim 12 , wherein the pair of sealed lateral sides are parallel. 
     
     
         15 . The bag of  claim 12 , wherein the connected center region and the open outer regions form a figure eight shape. 
     
     
         16 . The bag of  claim 12 , wherein the connected center region of the openable side joins the first and second edges through at least one of the following: a weld, an adhesive, a wire, a magnet, and a friction fit mechanism. 
     
     
         17 . The bag of  claim 12 , wherein the closed side and the openable side are perforated. 
     
     
         18 . The bag of  claim 12 , wherein the body is sized and dimensioned to receive at least one fresh produce. 
     
     
         19 . The bag of  claim 12 , further comprising a tie operable to cinch the openable side. 
     
     
         20 . An easy-open hygienic plastic produce bag, the bag comprising:
 a body having:
 a pair of sidewalls having a rectangular shape, the sidewalls being at least partially transparent, the sidewalls at least partially joined at four sides, the sides comprising a closed side, a pair of sealed lateral sides, and an openable side, the closed side and the openable side being perforated, 
 the closed side and the openable side being parallel, 
 the pair of sealed lateral sides being parallel, 
 the openable side comprising a first edge and a second edge, 
 the openable side being defined by a connected center region, where the first and second edges join, 
 the openable side further being defined by a pair of open outer regions, where the first and second edges are in a spaced-apart relationship, the open outer regions disposed at opposite ends of the openable side, 
 whereby prying the edges apart until the edges separate at the connected center region forms an open bag position; and 
 a tie operable to cinch the openable side.
