Benefits of technology

[0011]An advantage is that the elastic characteristic added to the hem or the draw tape enables the bag opening to stretched to fit over and grip the rim of a typical kitchen trash can. It may better secure itself to the container and may resist falling into the container. A gathered hem is intuitively obvious that it will grip the container. Another advantage of the thermoplastic bag is that it includes a draw tape that may be used to constrict the opening and reduce spillage of any contents. Another advantage is that the user may be able to stretch the bag opening to secure the bag to a canister which is larger than the bag mouth opening. These and other advantages and features of the thermoplastic bag will become apparent from the following description and accompanying drawings.

Problems solved by technology

Another potential difficulty is securing the bag to a canister which is larger than the bag mouth opening.
However, consumers still may have trouble understanding how to insert stretchy top bags into trash containers.

In one embodiment, the draw tape is elastic and is attached to the bag edges.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates generally to bags having a draw tape. More particularly, the present invention relates generally to trash bags having a draw tape.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Among their many applications, it is known to use thermoplastic bags as liners in trash or refuse receptacles. Trash receptacles that employ such liners may be found at many locations, such as, from small household waste baskets and kitchen garbage cans. The trash canisters are typically made from a rigid material such as metal or plastic. Bags that are intended to be used as liners for such refuse containers are typically made from low-cost, pliable thermoplastic material. When the receptacle is full, the thermoplastic liner actually holding the trash can be removed for further disposal and replaced with a new liner. To avoid inadvertently spilling the contents during disposal, the bags may be provided with a draw tape that ...
