Abstract

A system for supporting and dispensing thermoplastic, rack-mounted handle bags is disclosed, including an adapter hook, a support rack having a centrally disposed retainer, and laterally spaced, outward protruding suspension arms. The adapter hook includes a base member with a hook extending perpendicular therefrom, and is designed to slip over the retainer. Also disclosed are handle bags, which are suspended by the suspension arms and adapter hook, each bag including a protruding area in a front bag wall and a rear bag wall. A horizontal aperture in each bag wall at the protruding area provides an opening through which the adapter hook passes. To facilitate detachment of the protruding area from the adapter hook, a series of vertical perforations is incorporated into the protruding area extending from the horizontal aperture up to the edge of the protruding area. To further promote tearing, a distal end of the hook is configured to have a width narrower than the horizontal aperture thus concentrating tearing stress onto the perforations.
