BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention, in general, relates to bags and, more particularly, to disposable bags that are treated in some way.

[0003] Bags are well known devices that are used for all manner of purposes. Paper and plastic types of bags are certainly well known devices that are used for storage of a variety of items.

[0004] However, there are situations during which a person may come in contact with material that includes bacteria or viruses, or which may simply be or smell unpleasant. The person may be trying to place the material in a bag for transport and eventual disposal. During that process the person may come in contact with the hazardous or foul-smelling material which is being placed in the bag. The person may subsequently become infected or otherwise contaminated.

[0005] For example, a person attempting to place dog feces into a conventional type of a plastic "doggie bag" may inadvertently contact the feces. Not only do the feces have a generally unpleasant odor, but it may contain any of a variety of germs, viruses, parasites, or micro-organisms that could possibly also infect the person.

[0006] In addition, the person must now transport the bag and collected feces until a suitable disposal site (i.e., a garbage can) is found. The feces may emit an unpleasant odor from the bag which will make the dog-walking experience that much more unpleasant. If the person contacted the feces, the person might also soil his hands and they would also now emit the unpleasant feces-odor.

[0007] Furthermore, the person with the soiled hands is apt to contact his or her eyes, mouth, or nose with his or her soiled hands thereby increasing the likelihood of becoming infected. The person with the soiled hands is similarly apt to contact his or her clothes with his or her soiled hands thereby extending the range of potential contamination.

[0008] The person is also apt to meet others and can possibly shake their hands in greeting. In this manner the person with the soiled hands can become a vector for disease during which others can become similarly contaminated or infected. The process can continue until many people are similarly affected.

[0009] There are numerous similar situations that can arise, for example, people who are exposed to and must handle used diapers, fish heads, even body bags, face similar issues. Countless other similar situations also exist.

[0010] Accordingly, there exists today a need for a disposable treated bag that can help ameliorate the above-mentioned difficulties.

[0011] Clearly, such an apparatus would be a useful and desirable device.

[0012] 2. Description of Prior Art

[0013] Bags and waste containers are, in general, known. For example, the following patents describe various types of these devices:

[0014] U.S. Pat. No. 4,865,371 to Egberg, Sep. 12, 1989; and

[0015] U.S. Pat. No. 3,955,706 to Whitaker, May 11, 1976.

[0016] While the structural arrangements of the above described devices may, at first appearance, have similarities with the present invention, they differ in material respects. These differences, which will be described in more detail hereinafter, are essential for the effective use of the invention and which admit of the advantages that are not available with the prior devices.

OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0017] It is an object of the present invention to provide a disposable treated bag that is used one time and then discarded.

[0018] It is also an important object of the invention to provide a disposable treated bag that is convenient to use.

[0019] Another object of the invention is to provide a disposable treated bag that is safe to use.

[0020] Still another object of the invention is to provide a disposable treated bag that includes a substance applied to at least a portion of the bag.

[0021] Still yet another object of the invention is to provide a disposable treated bag that includes a hand-cleaner that is applied to at least a portion of the bag.

[0022] Yet another important object of the invention is to provide a disposable treated bag that includes a lotion or a gel or a powder or other substance that is applied to at least a portion of the bag.
