  • Apparatus to facilitate separation of layers of material
    Patent number: 9340325
    Abstract: An apparatus may have an anti-slip coating covering all or some of the apparatus. The anti-slip coating may also be on an upper surface, lower surface, or both. The apparatus has an aperture to provide for attachment to a key chain ring or other similar objects. The apparatus can come in a number of shapes and sizes and can be designed with ergonomics in mind. The apparatus is generally useful for separating thin plastic layers such as those one encounters with plastic bags. The apparatus is used to provide a frictionable surface to efficiently separate the layers thereby facilitating opening of the plastic bag or similarly thin layers of material.
