Claims
- 1. A process of serially dispensing and opening a bag from a bundle of bags comprising the steps of:providing a bundle of bags having at least a leading bag and a plurality of trailing bags with each bag of the bundle of bags having: a front bag wall having a top, a bottom, and two parallel side edges; a rear bag wall having a top, a bottom, and two parallel side edges; two bag sides, each bag side joining one of the side edges of the front bag wall to one of the side edges of the rear bag wall to form a closed continuum around the front bag wall and the rear bag wall; a bottom joining the bottom of the front bag wall and the bottom of the rear bag wall to form a closed bottom to the closed continuum of the bag; cutting the bundle of bags to define; at least one front support handle fastened to the front bag wall; at least one rear support handle fastened to the rear bag wall; a top to the bag which can be opened to receive articles within the bag; an array of vent apertures at a central portion of the front and rear bag walls, said array including rows of said vent apertures with adjacent apertures being spaced along a respective row of the array by a connection, said cutting providing bonds of the rear bag wall of a leading bag joined the front bag wall of a trailing bag at the array of vent apertures, the bonds releasing under a release force; providing at least one support for the front support handle and the rear support handle; threading the front support handle and the rear support handle to the bags in the bag bundle to the support; pulling on the front bag wall of the leading bag to release the front support handle of the leading bag from the support; continuing pulling on the front bag wall of the leading bag to release the rear support handle of the leading bag and the front support handle of the trailing bag from the support whereby the bonds of the leading bag pulls on the bonds of the trailing bag to release both the rear support handle of the leading bag and the front support handle of the trailing bag from the support; continuing pulling on the front bag wall of the leading bag whereby the bonds attaching the rear bag wall of the leading bag to the front bag wall of the trailing bag has the release force exceeded to cause separation of the leading bag from the trailing bag in a bag open disposition.
- 2. The process of serially dispensing and opening a bag from a bundle of bags according to claim 1 and wherein:said cutting providing bonds of the rear bag wall of a leading bag joined the front bag wall of a trailing bag at the support handle.
- 3. The process of serially dispensing and opening a bag from a bundle of bags according to claim 1 and wherein:said cutting providing bonds of the rear bag wall of a leading bag joined the front bag wall of a trailing bag at the top.
- 4. A bundle of bags comprising:a bundle of bags having at least a leading bag and a plurality of trailing bags with each bag of the bundle of bags having: a front bag wall having a top, a bottom, and two parallel side edges; a rear bag wall having a top, a bottom, and two parallel side edges; two bag sides, each bag side joining one of the side edges of the front bag wall to one of the side edges of the rear bag wall to form a closed continuum around the front bag wall and the rear bag wall; a bottom joining the bottom of the front bag wall and the bottom of the rear bag wall to form a closed bottom to the closed continuum of the bag; the bundle of bags being cut to define; at least one front support handle fastened to the front bag wall; at least one rear support handle fastened to the rear bag wall; a top to the bag which can be opened to receive articles within the bag; an array of vent apertures at a central portion of the front and rear bag walls, said array including rows of said vent apertures with adjacent apertures being spaced along a respective row of the array by a connection, said cutting at said vent apertures having bonds of the rear bag wall of a leading bag joined the front bag wall of a trailing bag at the array of vent apertures, the bonds releasing under a release force whereby; when the bag bundles is threaded to a support for the front support handle and the rear support handle to support the bags in the bag bundle from the support; pulling on the front bag wall of the leading bag to release the front support handle of the leading bag from the support; continuing pulling on the front bag wall of the leading bag to release the rear support handle of the leading bag and the front support handle of the trailing bag from the support whereby the bonds of the leading bag pulls on the bonds of the trailing bag to release both the rear support handle of the leading bag and the front support handle of the trailing bag from the support; continuing pulling on the front bag wall of the leading bag whereby the bonds attaching the rear bag wall of the leading bag to the front bag wall of the trailing bag has the release force exceeded to cause separation of the leading bag from the trailing bag in a bag open disposition.
- 5. The bundle of bags according to claim 4 comprising:wherein the exterior of said bags includes low density resins having a high coefficient of friction.
- 6. The bundle of bags according to claim 4 comprising:wherein the interior of said bags includes high density resins having a low coefficient of friction.
- 7. A bundle of bags having at least a leading bag and a plurality of trailing bags with each bag of the bundle of bags lacking discrete tags for bag support and having:a front bag wall having a top, a bottom, and two parallel side edges; a rear bag wall having a top, a bottom, and two parallel side edges; two bag sides, each bag side joining one of the side edges of the front bag wall to one of the side edges of the rear bag wall to form a closed continuum around the front bag wall and the rear bag wall; a bottom joining the bottom of the front bag wall and the bottom of the rear bag wall to form a closed bottom to the closed continuum of the bag; the bundle of bags cut to form a plurality of cuts, the cuts further defining; at least one front support handle fastened to the front bag wall; at least one rear support handle fastened to the rear bag wall, a top to the bag which can be opened to receive articles within the bag an array of vent apertures at a central portion of the front and rear bag walls, said array including rows of said vent apertures with adjacent apertures being spaced along a respective row of the array by a connection, the cuts defining releasable bonds between the rear bag wall of a leading bag joined to the front bag wall of a trailing bag, the releasable bond being formed at at least the vent apertures and releasing under a force whereby the bags are fastened in a bundle.
- 8. The bundle of bags according to claim 7 and wherein:said cutting providing bonds of the rear bag wall of a leading bag joined the front bag wall of a trailing bag at the support handle.
- 9. The bundle of bags according to claim 7 and wherein:said cutting providing bonds of the rear bag wall of a leading bag joined the front bag wall of a trailing bag at the bag top.
