Abstract
A system for suspending a pack of thermoplastic bags, loading bags, removing loaded bags and for automatically opening the next bag preparatory to loading it by having a pack of handled bags suspended from laterally spaced elongated rods of a rack. A novel gradually releasably adherent bond is created between the rear wall of a leading bag and the front wall of a following bag in the bag pack. As the leading bag is removed from a bag rack, the bond will gradually and fully open the mouth and body of the following bag for loading.
