Abstract: A bag mouth closure structure having a semirigid drawstring comprising a handle and a flexible cord. The semirigid drawstring assists in holding the mouth of a bag open so that articles can be easily deposited. The handle is a substantially rigid tube that allows a bag to simultaneously hang and perform as an open mouth receptacle. A shoulder strap passes through the hollow handle and is fastened into a closed loop. The shoulder strap and handle are provided for carrying as well as suspending a bag. Some ways of attaching the bag mouth structure to the upper portion of a bag are here briefly described. The flexible string and the hollow handle may be encased in a hem at the top of a bag wall or within the fold at the top of a double-wall bag. Or the flexible string along may be encased within a hem or fold at the top of a bag and captured within the handle.

Abstract: A bag structure having a semirigid drawstring closure which passes through a hollow handle. The semirigid drawstring holds the mouth of the bag open so that articles can be easily deposited. A shoulder strap is attached to the handle. The shoulder strap and handle are provided for carrying as well as suspending the bag. A flexible tubular material partially inverted creates the double wall of the bag and a fold at the bag mouth. The fold contains the drawstring and the handle, and an additional seam is not required to encase the drawstring. The flexible tubular material is preferably a mesh. Mesh provides a strong bottom seam, which is preferably created by lacing a cord through the mesh openings in the four layers of material. Also, the transparency of the mesh enables an optional product tag to be trapped within the double wall of the bag and visible.
