A selectively closable pet waste bag having a bag body is described herein. The bag body includes an outer layer made up of a front side and a back side. The bag body further includes an inner layer disposed within (e.g., nested within) the outer layer. The inner layer defines an inner pouch compartment therein and the inner pouch compartment has a selectively closable opening along one side. The inner layer is formed from a waterproof material. The outer layer comprises at least one pocket disposed thereon. A closing mechanism configured to selectively close the opening of the inner pouch.

The present disclosure relates to a fiber reinforced thermoplastic bag (e.g., comprising a bag-in-bag). In one or more embodiments, the reinforced thermoplastic bag includes a plurality of fibers reinforcing a top-of-bag area where users often apply an external force to lift or carry the reinforced thermoplastic bag. In certain embodiments, the plurality of fibers is positioned across at least a portion of a grab-zone. Additionally or alternatively, the plurality of fibers reinforces a hem channel region. In particular embodiments, the plurality of fibers is positioned in between bag layers. For example, the plurality of fibers is sandwiched between an inner layer and an outer layer. In certain implementations, the plurality of fibers between layers is bonded to a particular layer, but not necessarily both layers. Additionally, the plurality of fibers can impart a variety of mechanical benefits. Further, the plurality of fibers is visually identifiable through one or both layers.

The present invention is directed to a method of incrementally stretching polymeric film formed from a blown film extrusion process. The present invention is further directed to a polymeric bag formed from an incrementally stretched polymeric film. The incremental stretching is performed on a collapsed polymeric bubble via a pair of intermeshing rollers. The incrementally stretched polymeric film may be stretched only along a portion of its width. The polymeric bag may be a drawstring trash bag with an extended hem where only the extended hem of the bag or the body of the bag comprises incrementally stretched polymeric film.

The present invention relates to polymeric bags, particularly polymeric drawstring trash bags. The present invention comprises a trash bag having an elastic drawstring. The elastic drawstring trash bag features an integrated short seal comprising an inner seal, an outer seal, and an intermediate seal. The integrated short seal functions to reduce the upper opening of the drawstring trash bag, while the elastic drawstring utilized with the bag provides a bag that allows the bag to fit snugly on many common trash receptacles.

The present disclosure relates to strata 2-ply drawstring trash bags implementing a J-flap extended hem to provide increased top-of-bag strength. In one or more embodiments, the J-flap extended hem includes a 2-ply web folded back on itself (e.g., during a hem folding operation to enclose the drawstring within a hem channel). In one or more implementations, a hem seal secures the 2-ply web to an inside surface of the trash bag. At least one ply of the 2-ply web fold-over extends past the hem seal and is additionally secured to the inside surface of the trash bag via one or more hem skirt seals. For reduced material consumption in certain embodiments, the J-flap extended hem of the present disclosure imparts added strength using only one ply of the 2-ply web fold-over. In some embodiments, at least one ply of the 2-ply web fold-over includes ring-rolled portions to add top-of-bag strength.

A feminine product disposal assembly includes a drum that has a rotatable section for opening and closing the drum. A hatch is positioned within the drum, a garbage bag is positionable on the hatch and the garbage bag drops downwardly in the drum when the hatch is opened. A closure unit is positioned in the drum and the closure unit closes the garbage bag when the closure unit is turned on to enclose the used feminine product in the garbage bag for disposal. The closure unit is disengaged from the garbage bag when the closure unit is turned off to facilitate the garbage bag to receive the used feminine hygiene product.

A container is provided. The container comprises a cover, a base, and a body, which includes one or more spine structures and one or more door panels which may open and allow substantially lateral access to the interior of the container. The one or more door panels may be secured in a closed position by a latch mechanism. In a first mode, the latch mechanism is not released. In a second mode, the latch mechanism is released. The first mode and the second mode may operate concurrently and can be accessed separately via different mechanisms. A switch mechanism may alternate between the first mode and the second mode. Alternatively, a pedal includes a first pedal mechanism corresponding to the first mode and a second pedal mechanism corresponding to the second mode.

Portable containers for people to provide cleanup activity while hiking, running, hunting, camping, enjoying snow sports, or otherwise enjoying the outdoors. The portable containers can stay substantially clean due to a water-resistant coating. The portable containers can include compact folding where the container can roll-up to carry the most trash with the least amount of space. The portable containers can be lightweight making it easy to carry for all outdoor adventures. The portable containers can enable cleanliness and convenience in a hands-free solution including a pull tab to open a top opening thereof. The portable container can include an elastic or inelastic cord tensioner and spring steel system used to keep the opening in an increased open area state for easy hands-free access to the interior. The portable container can include a bottom opening zipper for hands-free gravity enabled disposal of trash and waste held within the portable container.

A biodegradable lawn and leaf bag support insert configured to fit inside an open and expanded standard-sized lawn and leaf bag, comprising a standard-sized lawn and leaf bag; and a foldable insert configured to fit inside the standard-sized lawn and leaf bag when the foldable insert is fully expanded; wherein the foldable insert forms a rectangular shape with a top edge and a bottom edge, wherein the top edge is configured to be below a top edge of the standard-sized lawn and leaf bag; wherein the foldable insert is constructed from a semi-flexible biodegradable material.

A feminine product disposal assembly includes a drum that has a rotatable section for opening and closing the drum. A hatch is positioned within the drum, a garbage bag is positionable on the hatch and the garbage bag drops downwardly in the drum when the hatch is opened. A closure unit is positioned in the drum and the closure unit closes the garbage bag when the closure unit is turned on to enclose the used feminine product in the garbage bag for disposal. The closure unit is disengaged from the garbage bag when the closure unit is turned off to facilitate the garbage bag to receive the used feminine hygiene product.
