Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Technical Field

This invention relates to bagging stations used in retail stores, and, more specifically, to a bagging clip tool used to hold shopping bags on a bag holder hook of a bagging station.

State of the Art

A bagging station is a fixture for dispensing shopping bags in a retail store. Each bagging station includes a bag holder. A bag holder holds a stack of shopping bags, and dispenses these bags as they are filled with products a customer has purchased. The shopping bags are held by the bag holder at the bagging station in a manner and position such that it is easy and convenient for a person to open one bag at a time, place purchased items in the bag, and then remove the bag with the enclosed products from the bagging station. Shopping bags are slid onto a bag holder hook of the bag holder in a stack, and are pulled open one at a time from the bag holder hook. The problem is, when one bag is pulled open or off of the bag holder hook, one or more additional bags often fall off the bag holder hook and need to be replaced. It takes time and effort for employees and customers to repeatedly replace the stack of shopping bags on the bag holder hook after the bags have inadvertently fallen off or slid off. Rubber bands or tape are often used on the bag holder hook to try to hold the stack of shopping bags on the bag holder hook, but these fixes are temporary and ineffective. In addition, it can be hard to open the next bag in the stack once one bag is removed. The two sides of the shopping bag tend to stick together, and a user often has to fumble with the bag to open it.

Accordingly, what is needed is a device that holds the stack of shopping bags on the bag holder hook, and helps the user to open the next bag in the stack once a shopping bag has been removed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

As discussed above, embodiments of the present invention relate to bagging stations used in retail stores, and, more specifically, to a bagging clip tool used at a bagging station. The bagging clip tool is used to hold shopping bags on a bag holder hook of a shopping bag holder, and to help open one bag at a time of the shopping bags.

Disclosed is a shopping bag bagging station that includes a bag holder and a bagging clip tool. The bag holder includes a bag holder hook. The bag holder hook holds at least one shopping bag. The bagging clip tool couples to the bag holder hook. The bagging clip tool helps to keep shopping bags hung from the bag holder hook in place as one of the shopping bags is opened, filled, and then removed from the bag holder. The bagging clip tool also helps to open each shopping bag to be filled. The bagging clip tool includes an elongate handle, a clip coupled to a first end of the handle, and a pair of wheels coupled to a second end of the handle. The clip holds the stack of shopping bags on the bag holder hook. The pair of wheels help open each bag to be filled. The clip includes a flat plate, such as a round disk, with at least one slot in the flat plate. The slot is configured to couple to a rail of the bag holder hook of the bag holder. Once the bagging clip tool is coupled to the bag holder hook, shopping bags hung from the bag holder hook will stay in place as individual shopping bags are filled and removed from the bag holder hook. The pair of wheels are rubber and rotate freely. The pair of wheels are positioned to hang from the handle along the front side of the stack of shopping bags. Rotating one or both of the rubber wheels tends to pull the front side away from the back side of a shopping bag that is next to be opened and filled. This pulling of the front side separates the front side of the shopping bag from the rear side, helping to open the shopping bag and allowing the user a way to grab the front side to pull the shopping bag open.

The bagging clip tool saves employees and customers time because they no longer have to replace shopping bags that have inadvertently fallen off the bag holder hook when one shopping bag is removed. The bagging clip tool also makes it easier to open each bag in succession, saving time that is often spent fumbling with the shopping bag trying to open it. The bagging clip tool has a strap hole for coupling a strap, cord, or wire to the bagging clip. The strap, cord, or wire is used to couple the bagging clip tool to the bag holder or the bagging station, so the bagging clip tool does not get lost or separated from the bagging station.

Disclosed is a bagging clip tool for a shopping bag bagging station that includes a means to prevent a shopping bag from falling off a bag holder hook, and a means to open the shopping bag. Once the bagging clip tool is coupled to the bag holder hook, the bagging clip tool holds a plurality of shopping bags on the bag holder hook, keeping the plurality of shopping bags from sliding off or falling off of the bag holder hook as individual shopping bags are filled or removed from the bag holder hook. And the bagging clip tool provides a means to easily and quickly open a shopping bag for filling.
