BAG-HOLDER.
SPEGIF IGATION fQrming part of Letters Patent No. 760,690, dated May 24, 1904.
Application flled September 3, 1902. Serial No. 121,965. (No modal.)
To all whom it may concern,-
Be it known that I, ALBERT M. HARRIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented certain new anduseful 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 apbut prevent the descent of the same to any material degree, such yielding action serving to bring the bottom of the bag in contact with the floor when being filled, and thus prevent puncturing of the same. I
For a full understanding of the merits and advantages of my invention reference is to be had to the following description and the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device complete, the hopper being shown in dotted lines in an elevated position. Fig. 2 is a detail in perspective of the device for clamping the bag to the hopper. Fig. 3 is a fragmental vertical section of the hopper with the clamp in place thereon. I 1
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the standard or post having supporting-legs 2. Near the top and bottom of the post are se-' cured eyes 3 and 4, and beneath the eye l is secured a spring-arm 5,,having an eye .6 at its free end, the said spring having a tendency to stand outwardly at right angles to the post 1.
The hopper 7 is scoop-shaped to provide a long side adjacent to the post 1, and on this long side is secured a pair of guides 8, adapted to envelop three'sides of the post and slide thereon when the hopper is raised or lowered. The flexible suspending means 9, which preferably consists of a cord, is secured at one end to the top of the hopper, as at 10, and extends upwardly through the eye 3, thence downwardly through the eye 6 in the end of the spring and through the eye 4, the other end 1 being connected to the lower guide 8 at'11.
From this arrangement it will be apparent that the hopper can be adjusted vertically on the post to any desired distance from the floor to suit different-sized bags by pulling the rope 9 through the eyes; but when once adjusted the spring 5, which has a tendency to hold the rope 9 outward and take up the slack therein, will maintain a tension on the said cord with suflicient friction between the eyelets and cord to hold the hopper at the desired elevation. When, however, the bag is being filled, the weight of the material introduced therein will cause the bag and hopper to yield slightly, andthe bottom of the bag will contact with the floor, which will prevent the bag being punctured and relieve the bag at the fastening means, presently to be described, of the strain. This puncturing is more liable to occur whenpaper bags are used. The yielding action of the hopper is permitted through the medium of the spring-arm 5, which bends inward and allows the upper portion of the cord above the eye 6 to lengthen. The top and bottom edges of the hopper are beaded, and in the front of the hopper is pivoted a clamp 12, having a right-angular journal 13 at one end and a loop 14 at the other end, adapted to spring over the bead on the top of the hopper and clamp the bag. Theother end of this clamp terminates in a rightangular extension 15, which serves as a handle for manipulating the same. The bag is drawn around the bottom of thehopper and when the clamp 12 is thrown down and sprung over the bead, which prevents accidental disengagement, the upper edge of bag is clamped around the-hopper.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A bag-filling device comprising astandard, a vertically-adjustable hopper, a flexible support secured at its ends to the hopper and having a sliding engagement with the standard near the top and bottom thereof, and a resilient member secured'tothe standard and having a sliding engagement with the flexible support to maintain a tension on the latter.
2. A bag-filling device comprising a standard having eyes secured near the top and bottom thereof, avertically-adjustable hopper, a flexible support secured at each end to said hopper and passing through the eyes on the standard, and a spring-arm secured at one end to the standard and engaging the flexible support at its other end.
3. A bag-filling device comprising a standard having eyes secured near the top and bottom thereof, a vertically-adjustable hopper having guides to engage the standard and a pivoted clamp to hold the bag thereto, a cord secured at each end to the top and bottom of the hopper and passing through the eyes on the standard, and a spring-arm secured at one end to the standard and engaging the cord at its free end to maintain a tension on the cord. 4:. In a bag-filling device, the combination with a hopper having a beaded upper edge,
of means for clamping the bag to the hopper, comprising a member having one end fitted in the wall of the hopper and having a resilient loop formed therein adapted to eonstrietively engage the beaded edge of the hopper and the edge of the bag, said member being retained against radial movement with respect to the hopper but capable of being swung in a vertical plane parallel with the wall of the hopper, said loop terminating in an integral extension which is disposed on the outside of the hopper, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ALBERT M. HARRIS.
