Application December 5, 1941, Serial No. 421,839 4 claims. (c1. :an-51) This invention relates generally to containers and more particularly to an improved paper bag holder.
One object of the invention is to provide a paper bag holder which is so constructed that paper bags held therein will be presented for easy and convenient withdrawal.
Another object of the invention is to provide a paper bag holder wherein means is employed for engagement with the upper end portion of the outermost paper bag for retaining the bags against accidental displacement.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a paper bag holder which is simple in construction and which may be mounted easily in an operative position.
Further objects of the invention, not mentioned hereinbefore, will become apparent during the course of the following description.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved bag holder, bags being shown in operative position therein in dotted lines and partly in elevation,
Figure 2 is a rear elevation of the device,
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional View on the line 3-3 of Figure 1,
Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view on the line 4--4 of Figure 1, and
Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the device in operative position with a number of bags mounted therein.
In the drawing similar reference numerals will be employed to designate like parts throughout the views.
The numeral I indicates generally the body of my improved bag holder. The body I is preferably formed of sheet metal, of a suitable gage, and includes a rear wall 2, a bottom wall 3, which is disposed at right angles to the rear wall and a iront wall or retaining lip 4. The upper margin of the iront wall of the retaining lip 4 is bent upon itself, as shown at 5, to dene a clamp, the purpose for which will be set forth in more detail hereinafter. As best seen in Figure 1, the side margins of the rear wall 2 are bent inwardly to define opposed guide tracks 6 and 1, said guide tracks extending throughout the length of said rear Wall.
Extending about the lower end of the body is a bracing strip 8. The bracing strip has its forward portion clamped beneath the lclamp defined by the overturned margin 5. The strip also extends inwardly to dene side plates 3 and I0. Further, as best seen in Figures 2 and 4, the strip 8 has its opposite end portions extending along the inner surface of the back wall 2 and, as best seen in Figure 2, the end portions of said strip are threaded through pairs of vertically disposed spaced slots II which are formed in the Vwall 2 near its lower end and in the same horizontal plane with the margin 5. YThe free end portions of the strip 8 are caused to overlie the outer surface of the wall 2 between the slots of the` pairs of slots I I, for anchoring the strip rigidly in position. Formed in the side plates 9 and I0 near their corresponding inner ends are openings I2, the purpose for which will be set forth hereinafter.
Slidably mounted in the tracks 6 and I of the rear wall 2 and against the front face thereof is an operating plate I3. The operating plate I3, like the body I, is formed of sheet metal, and is of a Width slightly less than that of the said body. The operating plate is substantially rectangular in shape and is slidable vertically` throughout the entire length of the wall 2. At its upper end and medially of its width the plate I3 is formed with an opening I4 for receiving a hanger of any suitable design, a hook I5 being shown by way of example. Substantially medially of the width of the plate I3 and near the center thereof a portion of the plate I3 is struck rearwardly to define a hinge loop I6, said hinge loop being of substantially triangular shape and having its apex I'I projected through a slot in the wall of the plate, said apex being turned down against the outer face of the plate so as to be out of the way. The hinge loop I6 is engageable with the upper edge of the wall 2, when the operating plate is in its lowermost position, for dening a stop for limiting downward movement of said plate.
swingingly connected with the body is a io1- lower I8. The follower I3 is of substantially inverted U shape and has side arms I9 which have their lower ends swingingly mounted in the openings I2. The bight portion, shown at 20, extends laterally and in spaced relation to the upper edge of the wall 2 in a plane slightly above the horizontal plane of said wall. It will be noted that, inasmuch as the openings I2 are disposed near the corresponding inner ends of the sideV plates 9 and III, the arms I9 of the follower will be disposed oblquely with respect to the Wall 2. swingingly mounted in the hinge loop I6 and straddling the plate I3 is a connecting yoke 2I. The yoke 2| includes legs 22 which terminate at their free ends with loops 23, said loops surrounding the bight portion 20 of the walls 2 and i3.
I 24, is placed with the lower ends of the bags in operative position in the compartment 25 which is defined by the rear wall 2, the bottom 3 and the front wall 4. In this position, the bags will extend upwardly with the innermost bag abutting the front faces of the plates 2 and I3. 'I'he follower will be disposed in spaced relation to the outer face of the outermost bag and the arms I9 and the legs 22 of said follower and the yoke 2l, respectively, will confront the side edges of the bags for limiting said bags against lateral displacement. It should be understood that, when placing the bags in operative position, the .plate I3 is in its lowermost position, so that the follower will be disposed with the bight portion thereof in maximum spaced relation tothe walls 2 and I3, for permitting easy positioning of the bags.
After the bags have been placed in operative position, as hereinbefore described, the device is ready for use. When ready for use, the device is mounted with the hook I5 projecting through the opening I. When supporting pressure is released from the body, said body will, by force of gravity, be shifted downwardly with respect to the operating plate I3, which, as stated, is held rigid. When the body shifts downwardly, the yoke 22 will shift the bight portion 2G of the follower I8 inwardly into engagement with a portion of the face of the outermost bag 24. When this is done, the bags will be effectively clamped between the follower and the outer faces However, thebags may be readily removed by manually engaging portions of the/bottoms thereof, displacing said bottom-portions from the compartment 25, and pulling downwardly on the bags for disengaging the upper portion thereof from behind-the bight portion of the follower I8.
Attention is particularly directed to the fact that, when a bag is removed, the body 2 will'shift downwardly slightly, with respect to the plate I3, for causing the follower to move instantaneously into clamping position in engagement with the next succeeding bag. In this manner, the
' bags will ybekept in proper position for withtaining the bags in proper operative position at all times. Y
It is-thought that the construction andpperation of my improved paper bag holderwillnow be clearly understood.
Having thusdescribed the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A paper bag holder adapted to be suspended from a support and including a body for retaining a paper bag, an operating plate slidably mounted for vertical movement in a plane parallel to said body, a follower engageable with the paper bag for preventing accidental displacement of said paper bag, and means on the operating plate and operatively connected with the follower for retaining said follower in position in engagement with the paper bag, said paper bag being removable from the body and from behind said follower.
