Pre-formed bags and a dispenser for use therewith

摘要

In a stack of pre-formed bags (30) of the kind each having a body (31) with a mouth (32) and a pair of handles (33) at opposite ends of the mouth, and supplied flat against one another in the stack, each bag has joined to side edges of the handles integral attachment parts (34) formed with apertures (36) and lines of weakening(35). The apertures (36) are engageable by retaining pins (49) of a dispenser (44) for the stack to be located in the dispenser. The lines of weakening (35), preferably joining the attachment parts (34) to the handles at inside edges of the handles, allow detachment of the bags from the retaining pins (49). Further attachment parts (38) may be provided on the bag bodies (31) at the mouths (32) for engagement by further retaining pins (49) of the dispenser. The dispenser (44) comprises a holder (45), preferably formed as a cartridge which encloses the stack of bags, supporting the retaining pins.
