BAG-HOLDER.

:SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 334,482, dated January 19, 1826.

Application filed-October 13, 1885. Serial No. 179,803. (No model.)

.To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, IRvIN STEENROD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Union City, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bag-Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to bag-holders; and it consists in certain improvements in the construction thereof, as will be hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claim.

My device is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, as follows:

Figure l is a perspective view of the device. Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the standard, with other parts in elevation.

The construction is as follows:

A is the base. The standard is formed of the parts B, C, and D, of which B and C are tubular. The part B receives the part G and the part C receives the part D telescopically.

F is the spiral spring, contained in the tube B, and the tube C rests on it and is supported by it. The part D can be adjusted and secured at any height in the part C by the binding-screw c. The part D is provided with 3o arms E E, on which the bag is held, said arms being of such a form as to hold the mouth of the bag open. On the arms E are hooks e e c, over which the edge of the bag-mouth is turned, and by which it is kept in place.

In using this device the part D is adjusted so the arms E will hold the bag at full length, with its bottom resting on the base A; or it may be held a little up from the base when first put on, andas soon as alittle grain is thrown in it will depress the spring F and rest upon the base. The spring serves to give a ileXible support to the bag, and holds it up in proper shape. It also obviates the necessity of taking care, in putting a bag onto the arms, to have the bottom of the bag on the oor or base.

What I claim as new is* In a bag-holder, the combination, substantially as set forth, of the parts B, C, and D,

telescoping together, as shown, the spring F l in the part B, supporting the part C, means,

substantially. as shown, for adjusting the part D in the part C, and the arms- E E on the part D.

In testimony whereof I alix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

IRVIN STEENROD.
