Publication number: 20220106095Abstract: Reusable shopping or produce bags are made from a fabric material. The fabric material may be woven or non-woven. The bags may be used with existing grocery store fixtures. For example, a reusable shopping bag can be designed to hang on existing checkout fixtures designed for conventional plastic shopping bags. Similarly, a roll of produce bags can be dispensed from an existing fixture designed for conventional plastic produce bags. Thus, the bags may be used in grocery stores with little to no reconfiguration of existing check outs and product display areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Inventor: Michelle Ivankovic

Publication number: 20210347529Abstract: The disclosure provides a container (or bag) that is sufficiently rigid stand on its own yet is sufficiently flexible for a user to deform the bag to create a pour spout. Due to this balance of rigidity and flexibility, when open, the opening of the container maintains a shape and dimension that gives easy, one handed, access to the contents and allows contents to be poured into the container without need of support. The bag has a closure that may include a rod that nests within a channel. The rod and channel can be configured such that the rod can be pressed into the channel and pulled out of the channel repeatedly without causing damage to the container, thereby creating a convenient container for carrying food, or other items.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2021Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: Adrienne McNicholas, Michelle Ivankovic
