Definitions

  • the brown paper grocery bag was gradually replaced by the single use plastic grocery bag.
  • the single use plastic grocery bag is less expensive for the grocery store and in some ways was more convenient for the shopper.
  • shoppers often use single use plastic produce bags. The result is that consumers throw away approximately 100 billion plastic bags annually in the United States. These plastic bags end up in landfills where they can take centuries to decompose or as litter where they can pollute oceans, soils, and waterways and are harmful to wildlife. On top of this, approximately 12 million barrels of oil are needed annually in the manufacture of the plastic bags, further contributing to the environmental impact.
  • brown paper grocery bags can add costs to the stores and/or the consumers. In addition, they can be cumbersome to store and/or reuse, and although the bags are recyclable and more easily decompose than a plastic bag, their disposal is still burdensome and requires waste management resources.
  • the reusable grocery and produce bags are made of more durable material and/or handles, and this enables them to be utilized over and over, thereby reducing the waste and the manufacturing requirements and the subsequent impact on the environment.
  • the reusable grocery and produce bags do not come without their own disadvantages. For example, it can be difficult to store the reusable bags in a convenient location. The bags will often clutter the inside of homes, garages, cars, or purses. It can also be difficult to separate grocery bags from produce bags in a simple and convenient manner. In addition, it can be easy for a shopper to forget to bring the reusable bags with them to the grocery store, necessitating the need to use or buy additional bags or single use bags on that forgetful trip.
  • improved bag container system makes the organization of reusable grocery and/or reusable produce bags simpler and more convenient.
  • a bag container system comprises a first chamber and a releasably connected second chamber, the bag container system being usable in a connected or an unconnected configuration.
  • a bag container system is mountable on a wall mount in a manner that is easily remembered and easily grabbable when a user is going to the grocery store.
  • a bag container system for storing and dispensing bags comprises a first unit having a top end, a bottom end, and a side wall defining a first chamber adapted to contain one or more bags, a second unit having a top end, a bottom end, and a side wall defining a second chamber adapted to contain one or more bags, and a connection mechanism that releasably connects the bottom end of the first unit to the top end of the second unit, whereby the bag container system can operate as a single unit with dual chambers or as two separate units each with its own chamber.

  • a method for containing and dispensing bags comprises providing a first unit having a top end, a bottom end, and a side wall defining a first chamber and containing one or more first bags in the first chamber, providing a second unit having a top end, a bottom end, and a side wall defining a second chamber and containing one or more bags second bags in the second chamber, releasably connecting the bottom end of the first unit to the top end of the second unit, rotating the first unit to provide access to the first chamber, and disconnecting the first unit from the second unit to provide access to the second chamber.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de contenant de sacs permettant de stocker et de distribuer des sacs et comprenant une paire d'unités ayant chacune une extrémité supérieure, une extrémité inférieure et une paroi latérale définissant une chambre respective conçue pour contenir un ou plusieurs sacs. Un mécanisme de raccordement raccorde de manière amovible l'extrémité inférieure de la première unité à l'extrémité supérieure de la seconde unité, ce par quoi le système de contenant de sacs peut fonctionner en tant qu'une seule unité avec des chambres doubles ou en tant que deux unités séparées ayant chacune leur propre chambre. Les chambres peuvent contenir et distribuer des sacs d'épicerie et/ou de marchandises réutilisables. En option, un support mural peut être prévu pour maintenir le système. Un procédé d'utilisation du système comprend les étapes consistant à raccorder l'extrémité inférieure de la première unité à l'extrémité supérieure de la seconde unité, mettre en rotation la première unité pour fournir un accès à la première chambre, et désolidariser la première unité de la seconde unité pour fournir un accès à la seconde chambre.
