Abstract
A waste bag dispenser and used bag receptacle unit for collecting animal feces comprises a container for holding and dispensing a roll of plastic film bags and a used bag disposal receptacle. A frame for attaching the unit upon a support surface holds the container above the receptacle. Bags are manually pulled out of the container and torn from the roll of bags and are used for collecting animal waste material, such as dog feces. The used bags are deposited in the waste bag receptacle which may be removed from the frame periodically for disposition of the used bags.

A waste collection bag dispenser and receptacle unit comprising;
- a bag container for holding plastic film bags and having an opening through which bags may be removed from the container;
- plastic film bags normally positioned within the container, with a bag normally accessible through the opening for hand grasping and pulling the bag from the container for use;
- a waste bag collection receptacle within which used bags are deposited;
- a support frame having an upper portion upon which said container is mounted and a lower portion upon which the receptacle is removably mounted;
- a connector on the frame for rigidly attaching the unit upon a stationary support;
- whereby the unit may be normally attached upon a support in a place where a bag user may manually pull a bag from the container and use the bag for collecting waste material, such as dog feces and other animal waste materials, and may thereafter deposit the used bag in the receptacle for subsequent disposal of the used bags collected within the receptacle.

A bag dispenser for dispensing bags, one by one, from a roll of bags comprising of;
- an elongated container having a normally, horizontally oriented axis and a horizontally extending, elongated slot;
- a roll of thin film bags, connected together end to end, to form a roll, located within the container with the roll having a central axis coaxial with the container axis and having its outermost bag normally extending through said slot;
- a support plate secured to and depending from the container along the length of said slot for supporting the bag outwardly of the slot, so that the bag slides upon the plate as the bag is pulled out of the container;
- the shelf having an outer edge with at least one upwardly extending tab formed on said outer edge;
- the bags each having their connected ends joined by a manually tearable joint and having a normally horizontally extending, open space formed centrally of the joint with the next adjacent bag;
- and said tab being positioned to fit within the space between the outermost bag and the next bag connected to the outermost bag, when the outermost bag is pulled completely outwardly of said slot, so that the tab momentarily holds the next bag to the outermost bag against movement in a direction outwardly of the container so that the outermost bag may be manually pulled and torn free from the next bag to which is it connected along the tearable joint between the outermost bag and its next connected bag.
