This invention relates to retail store fixtures, and, more specifically, to a bagging station that couples to a shopping cart.
A bagging station is a fixture located in a retail store that holds a stack of shopping bags, often plastic shopping bags, and dispenses these bags as they are filled with products a customer has purchased. The shopping bags are held 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 and the enclosed products from the bagging station. Bagging stations have traditionally been located at checkout stations where customers pay for their products, because that is where the products have traditionally been transferred from a shopping cart to the shopping bags. With the advent of electronic purchasing and self-checkout, however, customers are now able to pay for and bag their products as they shop, and these actions can occur at locations besides checkout stations. There is a need for bagging stations in locations in retail stores besides at the checkout station. Additionally, there is a need for a bagging station that can withstand extreme temperatures and hold bags with heavy items.
Accordingly, what is needed is a bagging station that can be mounted in a shopping cart, that is durable and compact, and can hold bags with heavy items in them.
Disclosed herein are embodiments of an invention related to retail store fixtures, more specifically to a bagging station that is used in combination with a shopping cart. A bagging station is a fixture located in a retail store that holds a stack of shopping bags, often plastic shopping bags, and dispenses these bags as they are filled with products a customer has purchased. The shopping bags are held 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 and the enclosed products from the bagging station. Bagging stations have traditionally been located at checkout stations where customers pay for their products, because that is where the products have traditionally been transferred from a shopping cart to the shopping bags. However, with the advent of self-checkout, customers often need a bagging station as they shop to bag their purchases while shopping. The disclosed shopping cart bagging station can be used by customers to bag their purchases as they shop or by employees bagging items for a customer. The disclosed shopping cart bagging station is sturdy and can hold bags that are carrying some weight in them.
In a specific embodiment, the disclosed shopping cart bagging station includes a support channel and three hooks fixedly attached to the support channel. The support channel includes a backbone bar, a first side bar coupled to the backbone bar, and a second side bar coupled to the backbone bar. The three hooks are coupled to the second side bar. The support channel also includes a first and a second protrusion, and a first and a second locking tab, all of which help lock the shopping cart bagging station to a rail of a shopping cart.
The shopping cart bagging station holds a plurality of shopping bags and dispenses the shopping bags one at a time as products are placed in a shopping bag. The first and the second hook each hold a handle of a shopping bag so the shopping bag is held open to be filled. A third hook holds a stack of shopping bags ready to be opened and filled.
The support channel has a cross-sectional shape of channel—a rectangle with one open side. The channel fits over the top rail of a shopping cart to couple the shopping cart bagging station to the shopping cart. The first and second protrusion and the first and second locking tab help lock the support channel to the top rail.
The shopping cart bagging station can be mounted at various locations on a shopping cart, making it easy and convenient for a customer to carry and load a plurality of shopping bags as they shop. The disclosed shopping cart bagging station provides a means for a customer to load purchases into bags as they shop, instead of having to bag their purchases at a checkout station. And, the disclosed shopping cart bagging station provide a way for employees to load and carry a large number of bags with a shopping cart at a pickup station.
