COMBINED BAG BACK AND TWINE HOLDER Filed May 7, 1935 gwucm/kyo Patented Mar. 30, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE COMBINED BAG BACK AND TWINE HOLDER Charles J. Olund, Cambridge, Minn. Application May 7, 1935, Serial No. 20,242
1 Claim.
My invention relates to a combined bag rack and twine holder and it consists in the constructions, arrangements and combinations herein described and claimed.
It is an object of the invention to provide a rack which may be readily suspended from the ceiling of a room, the base of the rack being so inclined as to afford a space suitable for display of advertising matter; and similarly the front wall of the rack may support suitable advertising cards and the like.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a rack constructed to releasably hold a plurality of various sized bags in individual compartments, the base of the rack being inclined so that the bags will feed by action of gravity toward the open end of the rack; as well as to provide an efficient holder for twine, as may be required in the wrapping of packages.
Additional objects, advantages and features of invention will be apparent from the following description and accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention.
Figure 2 is an enlarged verticalsectional view 25 thereof.
Figure 3 is a front elevationof a portion of the rack, illustrating one of the bag-holding memhers.
I Figure 4 is a plan view of one of the end walls of 30 the rack.
Figure 5 is a detail perspective view of a further means of retaining the bags within the compartments.
There is illustrated a rackgenerally indicated 3 by the reference character III, which as shown comprises a base I I and top l2, connected by end walls 13.
The end walls l3 have a straight edge It and an inclined edge l5, and consequently the walls 40 have ends Iii-l1 of different widths. The, ends it of respective end walls are cut at an angle, as .may be clearly seen in Figure 4, and to a pair of such end walls the base II is secured thereto by nails, screws, or otherwise, as found desirable. 45
a front wall I8 is secured, this wall being of a width to connect the base I l and the-top wall i2, so that the front of the rack will be entirely closed.
With the box-like structure thus provided there are arranged suitably spaced partitions I9, which are arranged in vertical relation with respect to the base I I, being secured to the base H and the front wall l8. 7 These partitions have a shape 55 similar to the end walls I3, but are of lesser Upon the straight edges ll of the end walls I3 height, and as may be seen from Figure 1, are progressively shorter, the shortest partition being adjacent the right hand end wall l3. It should be noted that the partitions H are not equally spaced and therefore the various compartments are of diflerent widths to accommodate bags of different widths or sizes.
As is generally known, paper bags as they come; from the manufacturers are in a folded state, that is, the bottom portion of the bag is folded upon the bag body, and when such bags are arranged in a package, the ends of the package are not of like widths, the folded bottom portions of the bag obviously having a greater width than the open or mouth portions of the bag, and therefore the structure of rack as described provides a plurality of compartments having a wide base readily accommodating the base portions of the bags as packaged, and by inclining the base, as shown and described, the bags will feed forward, progressively as the foremost bag is withdrawn.
Upon the forward edge of each partition wall IS a bag retainer 20 is arranged extended vertically thereon, and of a width to overlap a pair of compartments. As shown, the retainer comprises a wire bent to form an elongated loop 2|, terminating in parallel spaced leg members, 22, and these leg members are bent at right angles as at 23 to define prongs, which may be driven into the base wall H for securement of the retainer. It should be noted that the loop portion 2! of the retainer where it joins with the leg members 22 is bent inward slightly as at 24,whereby the legs 22 are spaced apart a distance less than the loop 2|, and by this construction, the legs 22 only overlap the bags in respective compartments to a small extent, while the loop portion 2| has a greater bearing area upon the bags.
The retainers 25 which are secured to the end walls i3, comprise a leg 22a from which there is extended a portion 26 bent outwardly to lie in a plane out of line with the leg, and terminates in a curved portion 21.
The retainers 20-25 are obviously of a resilient nature permitting a limited outward movement during withdrawal of a bag, and in practice, the bend 24 is formed at a point so as to lie adjacent the edge 28 of a retained bag, so that when withdrawing a bag from the rack it is only necessary to slightly spring the legs 22.
suitable clipsv or grooves 29 are formed 119 the front wall l8 for support of advertising cards, indicated at 30, and similarly the base Il may have grooves 3! for reception of advertising matter, generally indicated at 82.
. A pair of spaced eyelets 33 are mounted in respective end walls l3 adjacent the tops thereof to each of which a chain is attached, permitting the rack to be suspended from the ceiling of a room or other overhead structure, and ordinarily the rack will occupy such height as to bring the base ll slightly above the eye of an observer so that the advertising matter thereon is readily discernible.
If found desirable, the partitions may be apertured as at 35, (see Fig. to receive a wire 36 therethrough, thuspreventing. the top portions of the bags from falling outwardly, and in such case, a smaller retainer 31 may be employed.
Upon the top wall I2, I provide an enclosure 38 open upon one side and within this enclosure there are rotatably mounted a pair of cones of twine 39, the free ends of which are threaded through respective apertures-l0 of the upper wall of the enclosure 3!. The respective strands of twine are thence threaded through a loop 4| secured to one ofa pair of the chains 3| and thence through an eyelet 42 of a tension member 43. From the eyelet 42 the thread is passed through a loop 44 of the other of the paired chains, and the tree end may be temporarily secured by the end clip members 25 as indicated at the left hand portion of Figure 1. Of course,
other holding means than the clip -33 employed, if desired.
The tension means 43 a wire bent intermediate its length to define the eyelet 42,
thereby providing spaced leg members 45. The
leg members 45 are pivoted in respective eyelets 33, and by this construction, it will be appar nt that the outer or eyelet end of the tension means 43 will tend to" swing downwardly, thereby holding the twine in taut condition While I have shown and described a preferred construction, I am well aware that modifications may be made, and I therefore consider as my own all such variations as fairly fall within the scope of the appended claim.
I claim: I
In a bag rack, a box-like structure having an open rear end, a base for the box inclined toward the open end, aplurality of spaced partitions defining compartments, a resilient retainer fixed at one end to the rack and in advance of a. respective partition, said retainer comprising a pair of spaced leg portions, and a loop portion, said loop portion being of a width greaterthan the distance between the leg portions and adapted -to overlap respective partitions and aiIord greater bearing contact with housed bags than said leg portions.
