Description
W. J. REILLY Sept. 23, 1969 BAG HOLDER Filed May 22, 1967 F/az I I O ATTO EYS United States Patent O 3,468,505 BAG HOLDER William I. Reilly, 2725 Oakcrest Drive, Dubuque, Iowa 52001 Filed May 22, 1967, Ser. No. 640,101 Int. Cl. B65b 67/04, 67/12 U.S. 'Cl. 248-101 4 Clams ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to a bag holder and more particularly relates to a bag holder having a lower ring member which continuously supports the peripheral portion of a bag adjacent its open end and a second ring member for clamping the bag against the top central surface of the lower member.
Although it is known to the art to provide bag holders wherein the peripheral edge portion of the bag opening is folded over a first member and is then clampingly engaged by a second pivotally disposed clamping member, the resulting stresses caused by the clamping surfaces at their area of engagement and also by the stresses exerted through the walls of the bagby the weight of the contents received therein have resulted in frequent bag loss due to tearing. In order to overcome this problem, it is a primary object of the instant invention to provide a bag holder which will support a bag along its entire periphery by clamping an upper ring member downwardly against the topmost surface of the lower ring member.
Another object of the invention is to provide a bag holding device having two circular clamping members of even diameter wherein a bag is clamped therebetween along a coutinuous line of clamping contact for substantially its entire periphery.
A further object of the invention is to provide clip means on one of the clamping members in order to maintain the clamping members in clamping engagement without interfering with the continuous engagement of the bag between the said clamping members.
These and other objects of the invention will become more apparent to those skilled in the art by reference to the following detailed description when viewed in light of the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the bag holder;
FIGURE 2 is a plan view of the bag holder;
FIGURE 3 is a front elevational view of the bag holder;
FIGURE 4 is a side elevational view of the bag holder;
FIGURE 5 is a detailed perspective of the clip; and
FIGURE 6 is a detailed perspective view showing the relationship between the support plate and the clamping rings.
Referring now to the drawings wherein like numerals indicate like parts of the number 10 generally indicates the bag holder of this invention. The bag holder is generally comprised of four elements: a support plate 12, a lower clamping ring 14, an upper clamping ring 16 and a lid 18. As seen in the drawings, the bag holder is used Patented Sept. 23, 1969 ice to support a bag 21. At present, the ideal type of bag for use with the instant invention is one which is of synthetic plastic and which is weather and tear resistant. The bag holder 10 is adapted to be mounted on a wall 19 which may be either an interior or exterior wall. The support plate 12 has a horizontal arcuately shaped fiange 20 projecting perpendicularly from the top of a main body portion 22. The main body portion 22 of the support plate has a plurality of openings 24 suitably located to receive fastening media such as bolts, screws, etc. for rgidly securing the plate 12 to the wall 19.
The circular clamping ring 14 is rgidly secured by a weld to the undersde of the flange 20. The radius of curvature of the arcuate portion of the fiange 20 is identical with that of the ring- 14. Twin supporting struts 26 are rgidly secured between the ring 14 and the main body portion 22 of the support plate to strengthen the weight hearing characteristics of the ring.
The upper clamping ring is pivotally secured to the flange 20 by cleat straps 28 which are rgidly secured to the flange 20 and which house the ends of the upper clamping ring 16 at their reversed ends 30. As best seen in FIGURE 6, it is to be noted that although the ring 16 does not join together at its ends to form a continuous circle as does the lower ring 14, the distance between the reversed end portions 30 is minimized in order that the ring 16 approximates a circle. The circular portion of the upper ring 16 has the same diameter as the lower ring 14 and is so positioned relative to the lower ring that when it is horizontal, the two rings are concentric. In other words, the upper ring 16 contacts the lower ring 14 at a line which defines the uppermost periphery of the lower ring. The rings 14 and 16 as seen in FIGURE 5 have equal circular cross sectional areas.
In order to maintain clamping engagement between the rings 14 and '16 a plurality of spring clips 32 are provided on the top ring 16. The clips are rgidly secured to the top ring by welding but they will also serve their purpose if only removably secured thereto. The lid or cover 18 is pivotally secured to the support plate 12 by means of an elongated hinge 34. Although shown as substantially circular, the lid may be of any desired shape and may even be provided with a handle.
In operation, the bag holding device is prepared for use by moving the lid 18 and the upper ring 16 to the phantom line positions shown in FIGURE 4. The bag is then inserted inside of the low ring 14 with its upper peripheral portion being folded back over the top surface of the ring. As seen in FIGURE 6, a small portion of the bag periphery will be supported by the flange 20. With the bag thus positioned, the upper clamping ring 16 is moved into engagement with the lower ring 14 until the spring clips 32 are properly snap fitted over the lower ring in order to insure maintenance of clamping contact therebetween. Because the clamping engagement of the bag occurs on the topmost surface of the lower ring 14, the bag will receive support also from the arcuate upper inner surface over which the walls of the bag 21 lay.
In a general manner, while there has been disclosed effective and efficient embodiments of the invention, it should be well understood that the invention is not limited to such embodiments, as there might be changes made in the arrangement, disposition, and form of the parts without departing from the principle of the present invention as comprehended within the scope of the accompanying claims.
I claim:
1. A bag holder comprising a support plate, a first ring rgidly secured to said support plate, a second ring of the same diameter as said first ring and pivotally Secured to w i i said plate for egagement along a continuous line against the top surface of said first ring, said rings being of constant circular cross section, and a plurality of clips spaced about the circumference of said second ring and Secured thereto for removably securing said first ring in clamping engagement With said second ring.
2. The invention as described in claim -1 wherein said clip means is removable.
3. The invention as described in claim 1 including a cover plate pivotally Secured to said support plate for movement against the top surface of said second ring.
4. The invention as described in claim 3 Wherein support bars are provided between said first ring and said support plate.
