A bag opening apparatus includes one or more processors; a motor assembly; one or more gearing assemblies; one or more shaft assemblies; one or more gripping assemblies; and one or more bag sensor assemblies. The one or more bag sensor assemblies detect a leading edge of the bag and communicates a signal or command to one or more processors. The bag opening apparatus includes one or more memory devices and computer-readable instructions stored in the one or more memory devices. The computer-readable instructions are executable by the one or more processors to communicate with the motor assembly to activate the motor assembly, the motor assembly to rotate and cause movement of the one or more gearing assemblies, the one or more shaft assemblies and the one or more gripping assemblies.

In some embodiments, methods and systems are provided that facilitate the opening of a mouth of a plastic bag when removing the plastic bag from a plastic product bag dispenser. The plastic product bag dispenser includes a frame including a spindle configured to hold and permit dispensing of a roll of plastic produce bags, a bag separator coupled to the frame configured to permit separation of a leading plastic produce bag from an adjacent plastic produce bag along the line of weakness, and a bag opening facilitator including a frictional element having a higher coefficient of friction relative to surfaces of the front and rear sidewalls of the plastic produce bag than portions of the bag separator adjacent the bag opening facilitator. The frictional element of the bag opening facilitator is configured to retain in place a portion of the rear sidewall proximate the openable mouth while permitting a portion of the front sidewall proximate the openable mouth to move relative to the retained in place portion of the rear sidewall to open the mouth of the plastic produce bag.

A plastic bag dispenser device for dispensing feces bags with help from a moisture pad includes a tube. The tube has an aperture positioned on the side of the tube. The aperture provides an opening for a user to grab a canine feces bag. A lid is positioned on top of the tube. A compartment is attached to the top of the lid. The compartment defines a space for a moisture pad to be placed. The moisture pad wets the fingers of the user. A roll of bags is stored within the hollow interior of the tube. Each of the bags is coupled to each other by a perforation line. The user can separate each bag from the roll by pulling the bag from the perforation line. A snap hook clip is attached to the exterior of the tube and is used for attaching the tube to a canine leash.

A bag opener is presented as an accessory component for bag roll dispensers, which is suitable for multiple-ply bags (such as star sealed bags) that are dispensed from a continuous roll and allows bags to be dispensed to the user in a partially opened state.
