ABSTRACT:
A checkout counter for supermarkets and the like incorporates therewithin dual bag feeding apparatus, each operable for automatically dispensing, delivering, opening and retaining a flexible bag in a position and location suitable for the convenient introduction of purchased articles into the bags. The checkout counter includes two continuous web reels of successively attached flexible bags, two hoppers below each of which an open bag is retained and through each of which purchased articles are selectively insertable into the underlying bag as the articles are checked by the cashier-operator, and two collecting stations into which filled bags are ejected from the checkout counter interior and from which the customer may retrieve the filled bags. The operation of the two bag feeding apparatus are operatively controlled in a coordinated manner so as to optimize the time during which both of the hoppers are open for permitting the selective introduction of purchased articles into either of the two bags disposed in open condition therebelow.
