Abstract: A shopping bag dispenser has a fabric storage and dispensing bag with an open end having an area of opening, and a length, and a plurality of shopping bags having common dimensions, each formed from a material having a low coefficient of friction, and capable of sustaining permanent fold creases. Each shopping bag of the plurality is implemented with permanent fold creases, folded along the creases and stacked with others of the plurality, to a folded and stacked size having a length less than the length of the storage bag and a cross-sectional area orthogonal to the length less than the area of the opening of the fabric storage and dispensing bag.

Abstract: A shopping organizer comprises a purse or handbag enabled to carry cards and money, a carrier enclosure separate from the purse or handbag, attached to the purse or handbag, the carrier enclosure having a dispensing opening on one end, and a plurality of shopping bags, each formed from a material having a low coefficient of friction and capable of sustaining permanent fold creases, the shopping bags folded along the creases and arranged in a stack held together by a strap, the stack of shopping bags placed in the carrier enclosure such that individual ones of the plurality of bags may be grasped and pulled out of the stack through the dispensing opening.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus that provides both a protective and a decorative covering, or sleeving, for rafters. Generally, the apparatus is a U-shaped sleeve that has upper and lower horizontal flanges that run the entire longitudinal length of the member. The upper flange provides a means for securely attaching the invention to roofing materials such as roof sheathing, and together with the bottom flange forms an external channel that can be used to carry soffit material between the rafters. Furthermore, to complete the coverage and, therefore, the protection afforded the exposed rafter by the present invention, an endcap is attached to the outer end of the U-shaped sleeve member. Additionally, to further enhance the appearance of the building, the rafter sleeving is designed to easily and securely carry decorative trim and/or molding pieces.
