BAG-HOLDER SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 327,750, dated October 6, 1885.

Application filed June 12, 1885.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, WALTER S. Yo'rl-r- ERS and JOSEPH W. YOTHERS, of Karthaus, in the county of Olearfield and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Bag-Holder for Trucks, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of our invention is to provide a new and improved bag-holding attachment for trucks which serves to hold the bag while the same is being filled and transported.

The invention consists in the peculiar construction and arrangements of parts, as hereinafter fully described,and pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a truck provided with our improved bag holder. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a face view of the sliding clip. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the same.

The truck A has the usual side bars, B, which have recesses C on their front edges, and over the recesses rods D are secured. On each rod D a clip, E, is mounted to slide, each having one end, F, forked and the other end provided with a hook, G. At the hook G the clip E has a slot, H, the ends of which are beveled, as at a, and between the jaws of each forked end a semicircular steel bow, J, is pivoted, which has a shoulder or offset, J.

A spring, K, is secured on the under side of each clip E, and rests against the eye formed on the end of the bow. hen the holder is not in use,the clips E are moved to the upper Serial No. 168,556. (No model.)

the said bows. The top bow is raised, the bag is placed around the outside of the other bow, and then the top bow is pushed down over the bag, which is thus held securely.

The weight of the bag presses the edges a and the hooks G against the opposite edges of the rods D, whereby the clips and the bows on the same are held in place.

The springs K hold the-bows when the same are raised, and the shoulders or offsets J, striking against the ends of the springs K, prevent the bows from swinging down too far.

Having thus fully described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The combination, with a truck, of rods on the same, sliding clips 011 the rods, bows pivoted to the clips, and springs on the clips resting against the pivoted ends of the bows, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The combination, with a truck, of rods on the same, the clips E, having slots H, through which the rods on the bars pass, and bows pivoted to the clips, substantially as herein shown and described.

3. The combination, with a truck, of rods D on the same, the clips E, each having one end forked and the other provided with a hook, G, said clips also having slots through which the rods D pass, and bows pivoted to the clips, substantially as herein shown and described.

4. The combination, with a truck, of rods D on the same, the clips E, provided with the slots H, having beveled ends, said clips each having a forked and a hooked end, and bows pivoted to the forked ends of the clips, sub stantially as herein shown and described.

5. The combination,with the truck A, of the rods D, the clips E, having slots H, forked ends F, and hook ends G, the bows J, having shoulders J, and the spring K, substantially as herein shown and described.
