Description

Technical field:

[0001] The invention relates to garbage bags made of plastic film with a special device for easier opening, especially for everyday, commercial and household use. State of the art:

[0002] Conventional garbage bags typically have two carrying handles, are made of plastic, and are sold folded or rolled up. Pulling the bag open is often cumbersome for users, especially when there is static electricity or the bags are stuck together. Furthermore, there is currently no standardized solution for quick, hygienic opening without additional effort. Purpose of the invention:

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a garbage bag that can be opened particularly easily by means of an integrated tab or gripping aid, without the user having to rub, blow or laboriously pull the bag apart. Solution:

[0004] The task is accomplished using a garbage bag with two brightly colored, protruding flaps at the bag opening. These flaps are attached to the bag. When the garbage bag is folded and then rolled up, they are located on the outside of the bag next to the crease, and on the opposite side of the bag at the crease that lies on the inside when the bag is folded and becomes accessible when the bag is unfolded. The flaps protrude from the top edge of the bag towards the carrying handles, making them easy to grasp. Pulling on the flaps reliably separates the bag openings. Advantages of the invention: • Easy and quick opening of the garbage bag • More hygienic to use (no contact with the inner surface) • Adaptable for different types and sizes of garbage bags • Low production costs • No impairment of bag stability or tightness
