Claims
- 1. A plastic bag pad comprising a plurality of plastic pockets, each pocket having a front wall and a rear wall, both said walls being integrally connected to each other except at their upper edges, the upper edges of said front and rear walls being free with the upper edge of said rear wall extending beyond the upper edge of said front wall, whereby the upper edge of said front wall forms a lip and whereby the portion of said rear wall extending beyond the upper edge of said front wall constitutes an extension, a score line extending from one side to the other side of said extension in spaced parallel relation to both the upper edge of said front wall and the upper edge of said rear wall to form a line of severance between said edges, the extensions of all the pockets in the pad being bound to each other above said score line by connecting means to form a base portion for said pad, said base portion having a free upper edge corresponding to the free upper edges of the individual pockets in the pad, at least a portion of said connecting means comprising side connections at opposite sides of said base portion, said base portion including grasping means whereby individual pockets may be separated from the pad to form an individual bag by supporting said pad at said grasping means while pulling said lip forwardly from said pad to break said score line, said lip and the edge formed by said broken score line forming a mouth for the bag, and said side connections having sufficient strength to avoid being broken during breaking of said score line and to thereby form anchor means to provide a counterforce to the forward pulling force on said lip whereby they aid in opening of the bag during exertion of said pulling force.
- 2. The bag pad of claim 1 wherein said side connections are welds at the respective side edges of said base portion.
- 3. The pad of claim 1 wherein at least one weld is provided at said upper edge of the base portion.
- 4. The pad of claim 1 wherein said grasping means comprises an opening in said base portion.
- 5. The pad of claim 4 wherein said opening comprises at least one slit spaced from and parallel to said score line.
