Claims
- 1. A slideable bagging rack system adapted to be used with packs of T-shirt bags, the packs of T-shirt bags having a plurality of bags stacked in alignment, each bag in the pack of T-shirt bag having a pair of spaced apart handles straddling a mouth region of the T-shirt bag with a mouth tab thereabove, apertures formed in the handles of the T-shirt bags and in the mouth tab, said bagging rack system comprising:
- a slanted back plate portion with a lower region and an upper edge, said upper edge being elevated relative to said lower region;
- a pair of spaced apart support arms which project upwardly and extend above said upper edge and which are on a plane generally parallel to the back plate portion, the support arms having riser portions which extend outwardly from the support arms for use in retaining handles of a pack of T-shirt bags on the bagging rack at a position raised above the upper edge of the slanted back plate portion; and
- a hook member on said slanted back portion for retaining a mouth tab of a pack of T-shirt bags on said slanted back portion.
- 2. The slideable bagging rack of claim 1, further comprising leg members which are adapted to elevate said upper region of said slanted back portion.
- 3. The slideable bagging rack of claim 1, wherein said hook member extends from the upper edge of said slanted back plate portion.
- 4. The slideable bagging rack of claim 1, wherein said riser portions have enlarged ends.
- 5. The slideable bagging rack of claim 1, wherein said riser portions are upwardly curved.
- 6. The slideable bagging rack of claim 1, wherein the slanted back portion is slanted about 35 degrees off of the horizontal plane.
- 7. A slideable bagging rack system adapted to be used with packs of T-shirt bags, comprising:
- a slanted back bag bagging rack having a slanted back plate portion with a lower region and an upper edge, said upper edge being raised relative to said lower region, a pair of spaced apart support arms which project upwardly and extend above said upper edge and which are on a plane generally parallel to the back plate portion, the support arms having riser portions which extend outwardly from the support arms, and a hook member between the spaced apart risers, and wherein the upper region of the slanted back portion is relatively close to counter surface, so that a mouth region of a bag pack mounted thereon is relatively close to the counter surface for easy loading of merchandise; and
- a pack of bags, comprising a stack of aligned bags, each bag having a pair of handles which extend upwardly, straddling a mouth region, and a central mouth tab which extends from front and rear walls of each bag above said mouth region, said handles and said mouth tab having apertures formed through for suspension of the bag pack on said risers and said hook member, respectively, of said bagging rack, the apertures in handles being spaced apart a certain distance, the bags having a length between the handle apertures and a bottom edge of the bags, and wherein the distance between the pair of spaced apart risers and the lower region of the slanted back portion is less than the length of the bags between their handle apertures and their bottom edges, so that at least a portion of the bag packs will rest on the counter surface and so that the mouth region of the bag packs will remain near the upper edge of the slanted back plate portion for convenient loading.
- 8. The slideable bagging rack system of claim 7, wherein said slanted back portion is elevated at said upper region by leg members and which rests on the counter surface on said lower region.
- 9. The slideable bagging rack of claim 7, wherein said risers are on a plane generally perpendicular to the plane of the slanted back portion.
- 10. The slideable bagging rack system of claim 9, wherein said spaced apart risers have enlarged heads at terminal ends, and said risers are spaced apart by approximately the same distance as the apertures in the handles of the pack of bags, and said wherein risers are located at positions above said upper region of the slanted back portion such that when a pack of bags is loaded on the rack, the pack of bags will lay relatively flat thereon.
- 11. The slideable bagging rack of claim 7, wherein said handle aperture comprises a cut line which has an upper curved portion, which is directed toward an inner side edge of the handles, and a lower portion which slants inwardly toward the inner side edge of the handles.
- 12. The slideable bagging rack system of claim 7, wherein the mouth tab aperture in said central mouth tab comprises a cut line which has a generally horizontal upper component, connected to two side components which turn downwardly and toward the center of the mouth tab with upturned ends said end regions preventing the cut line from propagating downwardly and weakening the bag, and further comprises a weakened area comprising a vertical cut line formed between the generally horizontal upper component of the cut line forming the mouth tab aperture, and a top edge of the mouth tab.
- 13. The slideable bagging rack of claim 7, wherein said risers have enlarged ends.
- 14. The slideable bagging rack of claim 7, wherein said risers are upwardly curved.
- 15. The slideable bagging rack system of claim 7, wherein the slanted back portion is slanted about 35 degrees off of the horizontal plane.
