Abstract

Flexible bag dispensers for plastic bags such as those used to carry merchandise purchased in grocery stores or hardware stores. The dispensers are generally "w"-shaped to form two cells in order to dispense two sets of bags. The frame is formed by a back portion which connects three or more side portions which support the bags. Flexion members such as spring-loaded hinges may be mounted to and connect members in the back portion, one or more side portions, or at intersections between one or more side portions and the back portion to allow the side portions to flex when a person or object impacts the dispenser.
