Patent ID: 7997444

Claim:
Dispensing package ( 1 ) for distributing a continuous band of detachable plastic bags comprising: a continuous band of detachable plastic bags wound onto a spool hub; a pair of opposite end walls ( 3 , 4 ) arranged in mutually spaced apart relation by an adjacent closed peripheral wall ( 2 ) therebetween, said end walls and said closed peripheral wall delimiting an inner space ( 8 ) for storing said continuous band of detachable plastic bags; an opening ( 5 ) arranged on one of said end walls ( 3 , 4 ) for distributing said continuous band of material; said opening ( 5 ) is delimited by a pair of edges ( 9 , 10 ) of different radius of curvature and substantially arranged in concentric relationship on one side of the central axis of the package, one of said edges ( 10 ) extending parallel to and adjacent the peripheral wall ( 2 ) and the other of said edges ( 9 ) having a greater radius of curvature than the radius of the one edge and is substantially offset from the central axis, whereby both said edges ( 9 , 10 ) mutually converge to round end distal portions ( 11 , 12 ) with relatively small radii of curvature, whereby the opening provides for a controlled delivery of a desired length of the continuous band of detachable plastic bags without getting stuck at the distal end portions thereof and further minimizes the undesired accumulation of the band of detachable plastic bags in the inner space; and a projection portion ( 31 ) which protrudes inwardly from said at least one end wall ( 3 , 4 ) and mounts said spool hub and said continuous band of detachable plastic bags.
