Abstract
A multiple bag dispenser includes a plurality of nested bags having an exposed inner bag. Each bag includes a detachable lip and a bag body having a mouth which is coupled to the lip. A retaining ring assembly grips the lips of the nested bags and maintains an opening at the mouth of each bag. A tearing pin and a plurality of securing pins couple the nested bags to the retaining ring assembly and permit the bag lip to be detached from the exposed bag to permit removal of the exposed bag from the retaining ring assembly.
