Abstract

Present invention provides for self attachment of a sustainable fabric t-shirt bag to a usually stationary support frame by means of tabs that are secured across the midsection of the continuous integral looped handles that are laterally spaced and extending upward from the base. A hole is thereby created for the threading onto the rode supports of the check out frames. The four sides that project upwards from the base of said bag, form a front and back wall along with two sides created by a gusset, creating an open mouth between the bases of the pair of handles by which articles can be received, retained and carried within. This invention can replace the stacks of plastic grocery bags that are presently found on many store check out frames today and end up as liter all over our planet as garbage.

Claims (4)

1. A sustainable fabric t-shirt bag comprised of four sides projecting upward from bases on each side of a bag mouth, two laterally spaced pair of handles extending upwardly from said bases; a front and back wall secured together at the side and across a continuous upper handle edge of two long sides, mid section and across the top of continuous loops each having a tab with ends that are located centrally at the top of the handle loops, with each of the ends centrally secured, creating an open hole between the tab and the continuous loop handles, making it a more efficacious location for threading the two laterally spaced handles of said bag onto a support frame, thereby making it easier and more practical to secure said bag for the receiving and retaining of articles to be carried; said front and back edges of the sides being folded downward and outwardly and secured below the lower base without any cutting of the fabric to form gussets providing a continuous bag periphery at the approximate level at the base.

2. The bag as described in claim 1 wherein the placement of the tab allows for a more efficacious location for threading the two laterally spaced handles onto the support frame.

3. The bag as described in claim 1 wherein the placement of the tab allows for a convenient and easy method of securing the bag to the support frame and loading with items.

4. The bag as described in claim 1 wherein the placement of the tab allows for an open an unencumbered mouth of said bag.
