BAG-HOLDER.

QPECEFICATEON forming part of Letters Patent No. 445,195, dated January 27, 1891.

Application led August l1, 1890. Serial No. 361,724. (No model.)

To all LUI/,om t may con/cern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM 1I. lENDERY, a citizen of the United States, residing at lvyoming, in the county ot' llamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful lmprovcmentsin liag-I'loldersf which the following is a full, clear, and exact (lescription, reference being` had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciiication.

My invention relates to a convenient means of sul'niorting` a bag or sack and holding its mouth open while heilig iilled, and has for its object the improved construction ot such holders, whereby their simplicity and etticiency are increased.

The novelty of myinvention will be hereinafter set fortluand specifically pointed outin the claims.

ln the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a perspective view of my improved bag-holder as applied to an ordinary mill-truck. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the holding-jaws and connected parts in open position. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the holder with the jaws closed. Fig. e is a rear elevation of the bracket and supporting-rod. Fig. 5 is a side elevation showing the application ot my improved holder to the delivery-spout of a mill. Fig. G is a sectional view through the dotted line x of Fig. l.

The same letters of reference are used to indicate identical parts in all the figures.

l employ two semi-elliptical or semicircular jaws A B, hinged together, as at a, at their outer ends and beveled at their edges, as seen in Fig. t), so that when shut they readily clamp between them the previously-inserted edge ol' one side ol the bag or sack. These jaws are supported by a central arm C, fast to the jaw l, extending back under the same for a short distance, then up, and finally terminating in a horizontal extension having an aperture for the passage of the supportingrod D. In addition to passing through the aperture ot' the arm C, the rod D passes through an eye or perforation in the end ot a bolt l), inserted through a perforation in the vertical portion ot the arm O. A coiled spring c surrounds the bolt between its head and the arm (l and serves to aid the weight of the jaws A B in tilting the arm C, and thereby causing itto pinehor bind upon the supporting-rod D, while at the same time the jaws may be adjusted up or down by hand upon the rodl) to suit the length of the sack to be filled. y

The supporting-rod D may be attached in a variety ot ways to a variety ot' objects, as will best suit the requirements of a mill. In Figs. 1,3, et, and G I have shown a very convenient and novel way of removably attaching it to a mill-truck. Here the upper part of the rod D is bent back and then downward, as shown, to form a rear leg, which is inserted through perforations in a bracketplate d, secured to the rear or under side of the upper bar of the truck. The lower end of the leg hasa circumferential groove, which is engaged by a spring e (see Fig. 4) to prevent the accidental displacement of the supporting-rod. Again, in Fig. 5 l have shown the supporting-rod bolted or screwed to the sid-e ot a delivery-spout E.

Returning to the construction and operation of the jaws, it will be seen, in referring to Fig. l, that there is a cut-out portion on each side ot' the jaw B, as at f. This is to provide olea-rance for the edge of the 'bag and to enable the fold to be more readily made. When the jaws are open, a suitable stop is provided to hold them in a horizontal position, the edge of one side of the bag is folded over B, and A is then turned over and clamped by frictional contact upon it. By reason ot the fixed jaw B being supported by the arm O at or near its middle, and having the movable jaw A hinged to or at its outer ends, the diametrical space between the opposite ends of the jaws is lett entirely free and open, and when the bag is clamped in the holder its loose edge hangs down on the side facing the operator who iills the bag, and no obstruction is presented to the shovel or other 'filling device which he may use.

Secured upon the jawA at its pivotal point is an arm F, upon the end of which is a box or hollow sphere G for carrying a ball of twine, the end ot which emerging from an aperture in the box is cut off againsta knife g, secured to the box or its arm, in proper lengths to tie the sack when filled. In addi- IOO tion to its function as a twine-carrier, the arm F serves as a convenient handle for turning the jaw A, as Will be readily understood.

Having` thus fully described my invention, I claim- 1. In a bag-holder, the fixed clamping-jaw approximately semicircular in form and supported at or near its middle, in combination with the (3o-operating movable clamping-jaw of similar shape and hinged at the outer ends of the iiXed jaw, so as to swing over upon the same, whereby the space between the opposite ends of the jawsis left open,for the purpose described.

2. In a bag-holder, the fixed clamping-jaw approximately semicircnlar in form, and a vertically-adjustable support for the same secured to it at or near its middle, in combination with the co-operative movable clampingjaw of similar shape and hinged at the outer ends of the fixed jaw, so as to swing over upon the same, substantially as and for the purpose described.

3. In a bag-holder, the fixed clamping-jaw approximately semicircnlar in forni and supported at or near its middle, in combination with the co-operating movable clamping-Jaw of similar shape and hinged at the 'outer ends of the fixed jaw, and a twine-earner secured to the hinged jaw and serving as an 0perating-handle therefor and provided with a twine-severing knife, substantially as described.

4. The combination and arrangement of the hinged jaws A B, arm O, fast to the jaw B and provided with the spring tilting-bolt b, and supporting-rod D, substantially as described.

5. The combination and arrangement of the hinged jaws A B, arm C., fast to the jaw B and provided with the spring tilting-bolt l), Supporting-rod D, bracket-plate (l, and spring e, substantially as described.
