Bag opener component for plastic bag dispenser

An accessory component for retrofitting a bag roll dispenser to facilitate the dispensing of bags formed from a continuous roll in a partially opened state,

• the bags are multiply multi-ply bags comprising a top ply and a bottom ply,
• the bag roll dispenser comprising:
• a tongue configured to separate a bag from the roll and a finger comprising a front wall facing the tongue and a rear wall opposed to the front wall,
• the walls are separated by openings on opposing sides of the finger,
• and the tongue and the finger are separated by a gap,
• wherein the accessory component comprises an elongated flap which is constructed from a pliable,
• friction inducing material, wherein said friction inducing material provides sufficient resistance to the bottom ply of the multi-ply bag in order to separate the plies as a bag is dispensed and
• a mounting adaptor that comprises at least one front wall and a rear wall separated by an aperture;
• wherein the mounting adaptor attaches to the finger by means of the aperture, wherein the aperture is sized to match the openings on opposing sides of the finger;
• wherein the flap extends in a substantially vertical direction and is secured in the aperture between the rear wall of the finger and the rear wall of the mounting adaptor and a top end of the flap would be in contact with the bottom ply of the bag exerting friction to the bottom ply so the bottom ply separates from the top ply.
