ABSTRACT:
A grocery bag storage tube for the convenient storage and retrieval of plastic grocery bags. A hollow tube of appropriate diameter has a sturdy and weighty base holding the hollow tube upright. Within the confines of the hollow tube, a weighted plug capable of slidable travel within the interior of the hollow tube is connected as by cords to a cap and to the bottom end of the hollow tube. Plastic grocery bags may be inserted into the hollow tube above the plug once the cap has been removed. Removal of plastic grocery bags is effected by pulling the cap away from the top end of the hollow tube. As the cap is displaced away from the top end of the hollow tube, it pulls the plug with it. Any plastic bags inside the hollow tube between the plug and the cap are urged outwards towards the mouth of the tube by the plug. The plastic bags are then easily retrieved by pulling them from the hollow tube as they emerge therefrom. In an alternative embodiment, the sturdy base may be eliminated, allowing attachment of the grocery bag storage tube to another stationery object, such as the interior of the kitchen cabinet.
