Method of storing handle bags

Claim 1

A bundle of plastic bags arranged in a stacked side-by-side relationship each of the bags in said bundle having a first handle opening located on one side of the bag, each of the bags in said bundle having a second handle opening located on the side opposite to the side containing said first handle opening, the first handle opening of each bag being aligned with the first handle opening of every other bag in the bundle, the second handle opening of each bag being aligned with the second handle opening of every other bag, the pattern established by the alignment of said first handle openings being disposed at least partially out of alignment with the pattern established by the alignment of said second handle openings, said bundle of plastic bags being adapted to be slideably supported on an elongated supporting member that has a discharge end that is shaped to control the removal of only one bag at a time over the discharge end of the elongated supporting member, whereby, when the bundle of plastic bags is slideably supported on an elongated supporting member that has a discharge end that is shaped to permit the removal of only one bag at a time, removal of one bag at a time can be effected from said bundle by first pulling the side containing the second handle opening over the discharge end of the elongated supporting member and outwardly until the first handle opening is inhibited against further outward sliding movement by the discharge end of the elongated sliding member, thus opening the interior of the bag so that it can be loaded with the desired number of items.
