PRESTON JOINER, OF GREGORY, TEXAS.
PAPER-BAG HOLDER.
955,883. Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. 26, 1910.
Application filed November 5, 1909. Serial No. 526,449.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PRESTON JOINER, a
citizen of the United States, residing at
Gregory, in the county of San Patricio and
5 State of Texas, have invented certain new
and useful Improvements in Paper-Bag
Holders, of which the following is a speci-
fication.
The object of this invention is to provide
io a novel construction of holder designed par-
ticularly to contain paper bags of the regu-
lar graduated sizes, and embodying a con-
struction especially advantageous in facili-
tating withdrawal of a bag of desired size
15 from the various shelves which form suit-
able pockets or compartments for the articles
supported in the holder.
For a full understanding of the invention,
reference is to be had to the following detail
20 description and to the accompanying draw-
ings, in which-
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a holder
embodying the invention; Fig. 2 is a side
elevation of the invention, one of the nail
25 bag containing boxes being partly broken
away; Fig. 3 is a section taken about on the
line 3-3 of Fig. 2, the side boxes being
omitted; Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view
of one of the shelves forming the base of a
30 compartment; Fig. 5 is a detail view show-
ing the upper end of a side of the holder or
rack; Fig. 6 is a detail view showing one
of the shelves having the hooks to support a
side box or receptacle; Fig. 7 is a detail
35 perspective view of one of the horizontal
connecting wires..
Throughout the following detail descrip-
tion and on the several figures of the draw-
ings similar parts are referred to by like
40 reference characters.
Specifically describing the invention it
may be noted that it is contemplated to con-
struct the main parts of a holder or rack
made in accordance with this invention, of
45 wire, the wire structure being combined
with sheet metal structure so as to provide a
device which is exceedingly cheap, which
may be packed in a comparatively small
space, and which is possessed of many ad-
50 vantages to be recognized more fully by
reference to the following description.
The holder or rack comprises the sides
A, the shelves B, a top plate C, and other
connecting parts. Each side A consists of
55 front and rear vertical rods 1 which are
connected together by horizontal rods 2, thelatter being made of wire and bent. around
the vertical rods as shown in Fig. 3 of the
drawings, and the rear ends of the hori-
zontal rods 2 are bent laterally as shown at 60
2' to provide stops at the back portion of the
holder which prevent the bags from rear-
ward displacement. The extremities of the
extension 2' of the rods 2 are bent around
other vertically arranged rods 3. Each side 65
A of the rack therefore consists of three ver-
tically extending rods and a plurality of
horizontally connecting rods. At their lower
ends the rods 1 are bent to form eyes or
loops 4 through which nails or fastenings 70
may be passed to secure the device to a sup-
porting base. The rack or holder is divided
into a plurality of superposed compartments
or cells by suitable shelves B before men-
tioned, said shelves being made from sheet 75
metal and consisting of plates, the opposite
side edges of which are formed with down-
wardly extending flanges B' that overlap
the rods 2 of the sides A. Displacement of
the shelves B is prevented by the flanges B'. 80
Certain of the shelves B may be provided
with integral downwardly extending hooks
B" to support side boxes or receptacles D
in which may be arranged bags adapted to
contain nails, such bags being of different 85
sizes from those used for ordinary commodi-
ties.
The rack or holder tapers toward its upper
end and the sides A are positively connected
at the sipper ends by the top plate C, the 90
edge flanges of which have openings through
which hooks 5 formed at the top of the rods
1 pass. The rods 1 may be formed from a
single piece of wire if desired, and as shown
by reference to Fig. 5. A twine receptacle 95
E may be carried by the top plate 2.
When the invention is not to be used the
sides A may be separated by removal of the
connecting tole plate C, and the shelves B.
The boxes 1) may be dispensed with if de- 100
sired. The above arrangement is advan-
tageous because when the article is packed
for shipment, considerable space may be
economized.
Leaving thus described the invention, what 105
is claimed as new is:
A paper bag holder or rack comprising a
frame-work embodying spaced sides, each
side consisting of two vertically extending
rods, and a plurality of horizontal rods con- 110
nesting them together, the last mentioned
rods having rear lateral extensions forming
