摘要

A bag opening device that includes a strip having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end insertible through a central slit disposed in a lock, said lock disposed on the proximal end, which lock has a locking tab to releasably engage with a plurality of slots disposed along the length of the strip, whereby the strip forms a rigid circumference securable to a particular bag opening by means of a clip and a plurality of securing ties, said bag thereby held open to more easily dispose of items therein.

主权项

1. A bag opening device comprising:
a plastic strip having a distal end and a proximal end; a plurality of slots disposed upon the strip; a lock disposed on the proximal end, the lock comprising:
a parallelepiped head;a central slit disposed within the head;a locking tab; wherein the distal end of the strip is insertable into the lock central slit and the locking tab releasably engages with each of the plurality of slots whereby the strip forms a rigid circumference applicable to the open end off a bag; wherein the strip has a width of at least 1 inch and the slots are disposed at regular intervals along the length of the strip; a clip, said clip comprising:
a parallelepiped pair of edges;a pair of spatulas, each of the pair of spatulas attached to each of the pair of edges;a spring disposed between the pair or spatulas; wherein the spring forces the pair of edges together, said edges separable when the pair of spatulas are forced together against the action of the spring, whereby the clip is releasably attachable to the strip to secure a bag thereto; and a plurality of securing ties, each securing tie comprising a pliable inelastic member having a pair of ends, each securing tie configured to reach through a pair of adjacent slots in the strip to secure the strip to a bag opening when the pair of ends are twisted together.
