ABSTRACT:
A method and means for dispensing plastic T-shirt type shopping bags which are in several different packs, each pack having bags of the same size, but different packs having bags of different sizes, the means comprising a rack having a supported transverse bar behind and below which are provided, for example, three downwardly extending hooking elements spaced from each other and centrally aligned with the bar. The bags of the smallest size are hooked over the uppermost hooking element by their central detachable upper edge closures, and brought up and draped over the mounting plate in reverse position. The bags of the next larger size are hooked over the next lower hooking element and brought up over the mounting plate and draped over the smallest bags. Similarly, the bags of the next larger size bag pack are hooked on the next lower hooking element and draped in reverse position over the second pack of bags. The bags are then folded forward from their reverse positions over a transverse bar to cause them to hang downwardly over and parallel to the bags of the largest bag pack in front of the hooking elements. A large part of their lower portions is draped over the transverse bar. Removal of a bag of any size is accomplished by grasping the top downwardly hanging bag of the desired size and pulling it out from the draped bags and detaching it from its closure over the hooking element.
