Abstract
Abstract The generally rectangular case, in which the folded bags are placed with their folded bottom portions exposed in a generally rectangular opening in the lower portion of the front wall of the case, is detachably secured to a back plate that is fastened to the wall or any other suitable support. The back plate fits inside the open back of the case and has a lug at one end entered in a slot in the abutting end wall of the case, while a wedge shaped catch projection on the other end wall of the case is engaged over the adjacent end of the back plate, the connections at both ends being held intact under light balanced spring pressure by virtue of the inwardly arched end walls of the case bearing against the opposite ends of the back plate when the case is assembled thereon.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
309 words
A bag holder from which to dispense paper bags comprising an elongated generally rectangular back plate for mounting the bag holder on a suitable upright support, an elongated upright generally rectangular open back case in which the back plate is adapted to be received for support of the case on said support, the case having a front wall, opposed side walls, and opposed end walls and having a generally rectangular opening in one end portion of the front wall through which the folded closed ends of paper bags stacked inside the case in abutment with the front wall may be exposed for removal of the bags one at a time, the width of the opening being approximately equal to the width of the bags to avoid crumpling or otherwise damaging the bags when pulled one at a time through said opening, the opposed end walls being flexible and resilient and being arched inwardly toward each other, one of these end walls having a slot provided therein transversely thereof at the middle to receive detachably a lug provided on one end of the back plate, the other end wall of the case having a wedge shaped catch projection provided thereon transversely thereof at the middle detachably slidably engageable over the other end of said back plate remote from said lug for detachable connection with that end of the back plate, said arched end walls bearing against the opposite ends of said back plate with light spring pressure when said case is assembled thereon, whereby to provide balanced spring pressure maintaining the ends of said back plate securely connected with said end walls, and spring means in said case for urging a stack of paper bags toward said front wall for withdrawal of bags one at a time through the opening therein in the dispensing of the bags from said case.
