Abstract (en)

A coil of an interconnected chain of open bags (45) is provided in which the coil has a center opening (92) having a diameter at least as great as the transverse dimension of the bags. A dispenser is provided on which a coil of bags is mounted. An end of the chain is pulled from the center opening and fed around a tapered mandrel (63) and thence over a feed control mandrel (79) oriented in angular relationship with the tapered mandrel. The web is then fed to a bagging machine (50) for dispensing, loading and closing of the bags. The table on which the coil is mounted is rotatable so that the orientation of a span of bags (95) running from the coil to the tapered mandrel remains substantially constant as the web is fed. <IMAGE>
