Abstract:
1. An apparatus useful with a plastic t-shirt bag and a diversity of other grocery bags including reusable grocery bags and paper grocery bags having a pair of handles, comprising: a three-sided bag rack comprised of a reservoir bag holder for a plurality of plastic t-shirt bags and two side arms, said three-sided bag rack having a first open face from which a first plastic grocery bag can be removed so as to extend it outwardly from the reservoir bag holder; a three-sided support positioned opposite the three-sided bag rack in a horizontal direction comprised of two side supports and an intermediate middle support so as to form a second open face; and an engaged crossbar that can be engaged so as to create a functional barrier between a bottom portion of the three-sided bag rack and a bottom portion of the three-sided support to facilitate and maintain separation during a simultaneous packing of the first bag fully dispensed onto the three-sided support from a second bag pulled forward, but not removed, on the two side arms of the three-sided bag rack, said first bag and said second bag being separated by the engaged crossbar; wherein a first open face and the second open face are aligned opposite of each other in the horizontal direction; wherein the three-sided support is constructed so as to temporarily create a defined physical frame for the first plastic bag when the pair of handles of the first plastic grocery bag are removed from the two side arms and are extended and secured over the two side supports; and wherein a forward upper top is more distant from a plane located below the three-sided bag rack and the three-sided support than the intermediate top and a rearward edge drops from the intermediate top toward the plane.
