Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0232274A1] A dispenser (10) for pre-formed bags has a base (11) and a substantially upright wall (12) over which the bas are folded over the upright wall. A first portion of the bag stack (1) containing the base end of the bags is disposed on and supported by one part of the wall and a second portion of the bag stack containing the mouth end is disposed on and supported by another part of the wall. The two bag portions are separated by the wall in a direction transverse to the fold and depend downwardly towards the base of the dispenser. A rear face of the wall has a retention hook (16) that is received in aligned apertures (7) in retention tabs of the bags. The retention hook helps to locate the bags correctly on the dispenser and retains the stack of bags thereon. When the main body of the uppermost bag in the stack is pulled away from the dispenser it becomes detached from retention portions along a perforated line. The retention members are retained on the retention hook. The dispenser that is easy to load and re-fill, it is compact, easy to use and does not need separate cartridges or containers to hold the bags, or glue spots between adjacent bags to promote their opening.
