Bag dispenser

A dispensing apparatus for bags (30) having a housing (1), in which a supply of bags (30) is located, these bags (30) forming a web, which is rolled up to form a roll (37), having a device for accommodating and/or mounting the roll (37), having a gap (17), which is implemented in at least one wall of the housing (1), and through which the bags (30) may be discharged from the housing (1), and having a tear-off device (20), which is assigned to the dispensing gap (17), has a guide means (125), with the aid of which the bags (30) may be guided to be torn off from the bag web, and comprises an essentially plate-shaped main body (120), which has a guide gap (121) and is assigned to the inner side of the wall of the container in which the dispensing gap (17) is implemented, the guide gap (121) aligning with the dispensing gap and/or the opening (17) in the container wall, and the guide means (125) for the bags (3) being assigned to this guide gap (121), wherein the guide gap (121) has two linear sections (122, 123) at a distance from one another and semicircular sections (124), each of which adjoins one of the ends of the linear sections (122;

• 123), these sections (122, 123, 124) delimiting the contour of the guide gap (121), wherein the guide means (125) is assigned to the guide gap (121) so that the inner face of the guide means (125) is flush with the contour of the guide gap (121), wherein the guide means (125) is implemented as a formation (125) protruding from one of the large surfaces of the main body (120) of the tear-off device (20), this formation (125) comprising two semicircular projections (128), each of which is assigned to one of the semicircular sections (124) of the peripheral part of the guide gap (121) so that the particular semicircular projection (128) encloses the particular semicircular end area of the guide gap (121) of the tear-off device (20).
