Abstract:
An apparatus having a base, an extendable bagging pole having a foot pedal, coupled to a front edge of the base and an adjustable hanging rack coupled to the back edge of the base. The bagging pole has a bagging pole upper tube with a C-shaped clip disposed thereon and a bagging pole lower cylinder. The hanging rack has a hanging rack upper tube and a hanging rack lower cylinder, with a crossbar disposed on the hanging rack upper tube. The bagging pole is extendable to first operative position and retractable to a second operative position. After bagging the clothing item and depressing the foot pedal to retract the bagging pole from the first operative position to the second operative position, the clothing item may then be hung on crossbar of the hanging rack.
Abstract:
The present invention is an apparatus for storing rolls of material so that a user can create individual bags from the rolls. For example, the device may store vacuum bag material suitable for filling with food and vacuum sealing. The apparatus has a support platform, a storage unit and a base for transporting two rolls of material simultaneously to the front of the apparatus. The storage unit has two rollers for storing up to two rolls. The apparatus also has a cutting mechanism for creating straight edges.
Abstract:
A stack of plastic T-shirt type bags for use with a dispenser. Each bag in the stack has a pair of handles with aligned apertures for receiving the prongs of the dispenser. The stacks are retained in alignment by a releasable flap on the periphery of the aperture in each aperture integral with the bag. The stack provides for the releasable securement of adjacent flaps together for retention of bags in overlying aligned relation in the stack. Each bag has at least one discrete region of weakness between each aperture and the inward side of the respective handle stack which can be broken for detachment of a bag from the dispenser. The stack is adapted to dispensers with prongs carrying surface projections (i.e. transverse ridges) to restrict unwanted sliding of the stack along the prongs.
Abstract:
A method and means for dispensing plastic T-shirt type shopping bags which are in several different packs, each pack having bags of the same size, but different packs having bags of different sizes, the means comprising a rack having a supported transverse bar behind and below which are provided, for example, three downwardly extending hooking elements spaced from each other and centrally aligned with the bar. The bags of the smallest size are hooked over the uppermost hooking element by their central detachable upper edge closures, and brought up and draped over the mounting plate in reverse position. The bags of the next larger size are hooked over the next lower hooking element and brought up over the mounting plate and draped over the smallest bags. Similarly, the bags of the next larger size bag pack are hooked on the next lower hooking element and draped in reverse position over the second pack of bags. The bags are then folded forward from their reverse positions over a transverse bar to cause them to hang downwardly over and parallel to the bags of the largest bag pack in front of the hooking elements. A large part of their lower portions is draped over the transverse bar. Removal of a bag of any size is accomplished by grasping the top downwardly hanging bag of the desired size and pulling it out from the draped bags and detaching it from its closure over the hooking element.
Abstract:
A receptacle for plastic shopping bags and like articles comprising an upper member having the general structure and appearance of an upper portion of a doll body, and a lower element structured and disposed for receiving articles therein. The lower element, which has the general shape and configuration of a skirt, is attached to the upper member and extends downwardly therefrom. The lower element defines a cavity in which plastic shopping bags can be stored, and also has an opening in communication with the cavity that is sized and configured to allow passage therethrough of a plastic shopping bag. The receptacle may also include means structured and disposed on the lower element for either partially or fully closing the opening and means for suspending the receptacle from a vertical surface. The upper element of the receptacle may additionally include a pair of arms connected together so as to form a holding member for a dish towel.
Abstract:
A grocery bag storage tube for the convenient storage and retrieval of plastic grocery bags. A hollow tube of appropriate diameter has a sturdy and weighty base holding the hollow tube upright. Within the confines of the hollow tube, a weighted plug capable of slidable travel within the interior of the hollow tube is connected as by cords to a cap and to the bottom end of the hollow tube. Plastic grocery bags may be inserted into the hollow tube above the plug once the cap has been removed. Removal of plastic grocery bags is effected by pulling the cap away from the top end of the hollow tube. As the cap is displaced away from the top end of the hollow tube, it pulls the plug with it. Any plastic bags inside the hollow tube between the plug and the cap are urged outwards towards the mouth of the tube by the plug. The plastic bags are then easily retrieved by pulling them from the hollow tube as they emerge therefrom. In an alternative embodiment, the sturdy base may be eliminated, allowing attachment of the grocery bag storage tube to another stationery object, such as the interior of the kitchen cabinet.
Abstract:
A container/dispenser for used plastic shopping bags which comprises a walled vessel having an open top and an open bottom to which is secured a converging lower section formed of flexible walls with an internal friction surface terminating in a small opening through which the inserted bags may be withdrawn one at a time when compressed in the vessel by a handled lid pressed into the vessel.
Abstract:
In the bag pack disclosed herein, a stack of T-shirt type plastic film bags are held in a paperboard cartridge which is folded to provide front and back panels bridged at the top. The back panel has a cutout tongue which is folded forward under tearaway strips linking the top ends of the bag handle portions. The tongue retains the tearaway strips in the cartridge as individual bags are torn downwardly from the pack.
Abstract:
A collapsible support structure for receiving flexible grocery bags. The structure includes a locking mechanism which positively locks it in the open position and which semi-locks it in the closed position. The entire structure is composed of only two sizes of plastic panels.
