  • the bag 10 comprises two parallel rectangular side panels 12 that form the body of the bag 10.
  • the panels 12 are connected at bottom edges 14 and side edges 16 thereof. Top edges 18 of the side panels 12 are not connected in order to leave an opening 20 at a top 22 of the bag 10 for items to be placed therein.
  • the side panels 12 be constructed of a pliable, lightweight material such as plastic.
  • the side panels 12 may be of any shape that allows for side edges 16 and bottom edges 14 thereof to be connected to form the body of the bag 10.
  • the bag 10 includes a closure mechanism 24 comprising two perforated lines 26 located near the top 22 of the bag 10, with one perforated line 26 in each of the side panels 12. More specifically, each perforated line 26 is generally located centrally between the side edges 16 and is disposed in a generally parallel orientation relative to the top edge 18 of its respective panel 12. The perforated lines 26 are spaced a predetermined distance from the top edges 18 of the side panels 12. Furthermore, the perforated lines 26 are generally horizontally and vertically aligned with one another when the panels 12 are laid flat in a parallel orientation. The length of the perforated lines 26 does not extend the entire width between the side panels 12, whereby areas of the side panels 12 on either side of the perforated lines 26 are not perforated.
  • the bag 10 further includes two apertures 28 formed in the side panels 12, with one aperture 28 defined by a cutout in the material of the side panel at a location that is generally located centrally between the side edges 16. Moreover, in the bag 10 in accordance with this particular preferred embodiment, the aperture 28 is formed such that the perforated line 26 of the panel 12 intersects the aperture 28 as perhaps best shown in FIG. 3. As such, each of the panels 12 has an aperture 28 disposed therein. Each aperture 28 furthermore preferably is configured to receive a finger therethrough.
  • the bag 10 includes a two-ply area 30 at the top 22 defined between the top edge 18 and the line shown in phantom in each panel 12.
  • the two-ply area 30 is formed by a top portion 32 of each side panel 12 being folded over inwardly at the top 22 of the bag
  • the height of the two-ply area 30 is slightly less than the offset distance of the perforated lines 26 from the top edges 18 of the side panels 12; therefore, the folded over portions 32 of the side panels 12 do not overlap the perforated lines 26. On the other hand, the folded over portions
  • the two-ply area 30 may be formed by the top portion 32 of each of the side panels 12 being folded over outwardly at the top 22 of the bag 10.
  • the two-ply area 30 may be secured in place by any of various methods, including for example, but not limited to, heat sealing, thermowelding, ultrasonic welding, and use of adhesives.
  • the perforated lines 26 may be torn by a person using the bag 10 to form handle members 34 in the side panels 12 of the bag 10.
  • a person simply inserts one or more fingers through the apertures 28 and pulls upwardly, thereby tearing the bag 10 along the perforated lines 26 to form the handle members 34, with one handle member
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show a single finger of one hand being inserted through both apertures
  • the bag 10 may be torn along the perforated lines 26 including for example, but not limited to, inserting one finger from each hand through an aperture 28 so that both hands are used; inserting a tool of some sort through both apertures
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show the bag 10 after having been torn to form the handle members 34. Because the perforated lines 26 have fixed lengths that do not extend the entire width of the side panels 12, the handle members 34 resulting from the tearing of the bag 10 along the perforated lines 26 have opposite ends 36 that remain untorn and integral with the side panels 12 from which the handle members 34 are formed. It is contemplated that a person may use the handle members 34 to lift and carry the bag 10. It is further contemplated, and intended, that a person will use the handle members 34 to securely close the bag 10 by tying the handle members 34 in one of a variety of ways, as now described below.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 show an example of how the handle members 34 may be tied to secure the bag 10 closed.
  • a person is grasping one handle member 34 in each hand in preparation for tying the handle members 34 together.
  • the handle members 34 have been tied together to form a knot.
  • a person may lift and carry the bag 10 by the handle members 34.
  • a person may secure the garbage bag closed by tying the handle members 34 together and then conveniently lift and carry the garbage bag to a proper disposal site.
  • the handle members 34 may also be used to secure the bag 10 closed by collectively looping them around a neck of the bag 10 and then tying them off. More particularly, a person may hold the neck of the bag 10 in one hand and then use the other hand to wrap the handle members 34 underneath and around the neck and then insert ends of the handle members 34 through the loop created by the underneath-and-around wrapping, thereby forming a knot securing the bag 10 closed. As mentioned previously, the bag 10 may be secured closed with the handle members 34 in a number of different ways. The disclosure contained herein of ways in which to secure the bag 10 closed are exemplary only and should not limit the scope of protection for the bag 10.
  • the bag 10 in its complete, untorn configuration may be placed in a garbage can, thereby forming a garbage can liner of sorts. Once the garbage bag is full, a person may remove the garbage bag from the garbage can, tear the bag 10 along the perforated lines 26 thereby forming the handle members 34 as described above, and secure the garbage bag closed by tying the handle members 34 as described above.
  • a person may tear the bag 10 along the perforated lines 26, thereby forming the handle members 34 as described above while the garbage bag is still in the garbage can; secure the bag closed by tying the handle members 34 while the garbage bag is still in the garbage can; and then use the tied handle members 34 to lift the garbage bag out of the garbage can. After the garbage bag has been securely closed with the handle members 34, it may be taken to a proper disposal site.

La présente invention concerne un sachet présentant un mécanisme de fermeture d'un seul tenant. En particulier, un sachet présente des lignes perforées le long desquelles le sachet est déchiré pour former des poignées. Les poignées peuvent être nouées afin de fermer le sachet. Des orifices sont prévus pour faciliter le déchirement du sachet le long des lignes perforées pour former les poignées. Un procédé de fabrication d'un sachet comprend les étapes consistant à former les lignes de perforations dans le sachet de telle sorte que, lorsque le sachet est déchiré le long des lignes de perforations, des poignées sont formées dans le sachet et permettent de soulever le sachet et de le fermer en nouant les poignées. Un procédé de déchirement du sachet pour former les poignées comprend les étapes consistant à soulever le sachet en insérant un doigt dans un orifice formé dans le sachet et à le soulever vers le haut lorsque le sachet est affaissé par son contenu.
