12 12227 2/C8 RACK FOR PLASTIC T-SHIRT GROCERY BAGS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A rack for the counter edge mounting, loading and dispensing of plastic T-shirt grocery bags is dis- closed. The bags are of the type formed from an endless tube of plastic having the sides of the bag with a "W" fold. The bottom and the top of the bag are sealed with the top portion cut away to define paired outside bag handles and a bag opening therebetween. The sup- porting rack includes a flat bottom defining a loading surface on which the sealed bottom of the grocery bag is supported during loading. A vertical or back member extends upwardly from rear portion of the loading sur- face and has at the top a wicket supporting protrusion -- preferably a ball at the end of a wire at the end of a rod. The wicket supporting surface is for supporting bag wall tabs fused together in a wicket, the wicket holding a group of overlying bags together for sequen- tial dispensing and loading. The rack includes a novel second U-shaped member also supported from the vertical member and placed below the first U-shaped member. This latter second U-shaped member is preferably formed of doubled over rod members and serves at least three purposes. First, it delimits the horizontal expansion of a bag being loaded on the rack; it prevents the sides of the bag being loaded from expanding beyond their intended horizontal dimension. The contained articles do not rupture the bag in the horizontal dimension when the articles in the bag are carried away. Secondly, the lower rack acts as an eye safety guard; it provides an obstacle between the upper rack and the loading sur- face which warns clerks in stooping motions as to the presence of the immediately overlying rack. Finally, 13 it is a secondary support surface from which smaller bags can be dispensed. C8/12227-2
