FRANK. A. BROIVN, OF ANGELICA, NEWV YORK.

BAG-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 403,641, dated May 21, 1889.

Application filed April 28, 1888. Serial No. 272,130. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK. A. BROWN, of Angelica, in the county of Allegany and State of New York, have invented a new and use ful Improvement in Bag-Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention consists in a holder for bags while being filled, which is made of wire, substantially'as hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims, and which possesses the merits of being cheap, durable, and light or much less cumbersome than other devices for the same purpose, and is more easily operated or used; also which admits of being supported in position simply by hanging it upon a nail, or upon the edge of a bin, or against the side of a building, or elsewhere, and allows of the bag being filled either from the front or back of the holder.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which the figure represents a View in perspective of my improved bag-holder in posit-i011 upon the edge of a bin, (shown only in part,) and as carrying a bag to be filled, (also shown only in part.)

A represents two wires bent to form two outwardly and downwardly projecting side arms, Z) Z), in front, terminating in hooks c c at a suitable distance apart from each other, and further twisted and bent in the rear to form loops (Z d, and a back to the whole wire frame, consisting of extensions 6 6, running toward each other at the center, where the wires are doubled ortwisted upon themselves, as at f, and are afterward extended in opposite directions laterally outward, forming lower extensions, g g, which terminate in loops h h and rear hooks, i 2'. Another wire, B, runs across the frame at its back, connecting the opposite upper side loops, cl d, and twisted intermediately of its length to form an eyelet, 7c, and other wires or stays, O C, connect the loops d and h on opposite sides of the frame. D D are carrying-hooks attached to the loops (Z (Z of the frame.

The bag-holder may either be supported upon a nail passing through the eyelet 70, against a wall or elsewhere, or it may be carried by the hooks D D,aecording to the place in or on which the holder is to be used. It is shown in the drawing as carried by the hooks D D upon or from the edge of a bin,E. The bag G to be filled is hung upon the hooks o c and 'i 2' of the holder, which not only serve to carry the bag, but to keep its mouth extended.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a bag-holder, the wires A, bent to form two outwardly and downwardly projecting side arms, b b, terminating in hooks c c and further twisted and bent in the rear, forming loops (1 (Z, and continued to form a back composed of upper and lower extensions, cc and g g, united in the center at f and terminating below in opposite side loops, h h, and hookso' 1',

, essentially as described.

2. In awire-frame bag-holder, the combination, with the wires A, bent and shaped to form upper and lower opposite side loops, d 72, and front and rear hooks, c c and z i, of the cross-wire B, bent to form an eyelet, 7c, the attached hooks D D, and the stays CC, substantially as specified.
