Complete Specification Left, 24th Mar., 1897-Accepted, 19th June, 1897
I HENRY RICHARDSON of 166 Oxhill Road Handsworth Birmingham Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved method of holding sacks or bags, its object
being to provide a more ready means of holding the sack or bag distended to receive
its contents and to remove it when it is filled; it is chiefly used in combination with,
an ordinary weighing scale or a spout from a granary floor or silo house.
It consists of a band of carding a material similar to that used in connection
with wool combing machinery, fastened by any convenient method around the
spout or hanger to which the sack is to be attached. I find that the carding which
has been in use, the wires of which have become slightly bent with continuous.
wear, is well adapted for my purpose, this carding is frequently termed "grit.
cloth."

HENRY RICHARDSON Engineer 166 Oxhill Road Handsworth Birmingham do.
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following-
statement:
My invention relates to an improved method of holding sacks or bags.
The drawings shew my improvements.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the bag holder.
Figure 2 is an end view of the same.
Figure 3 is a plan of the same.
Figure 4 is a view of the bag holder with sack attached.
Figure 5 is a view of a section of the carding.
A is a holder or frame made in any suitable material, attached to which is the-
carding or material which holds the bag. This holder can be arranged on a
weigh beam in any convenient manner, or it may be fixed to or made part of a.
spout or other convenient place where it is desirable to hold a sack distended.
I
B is the carding which holds the bag distended and supported; any material.
having similar formation to carding will answer the purpose of my invention.
prefer to adopt the ordinary carding used in wool combing machines. I also find
that a greater advantage is derived from the use of carding which has been already
used for wool combing and afterwards been thrown out on account of the bent.
state of the wires.

page_text: Although the carding may be fixed by screws rivets or the like to the holder I
prefer to arrange the holder with a tapering lower edge so that the weight of the
bag tends to hold the carding more firmly to the holder.
The carding is preferably arranged in a folded state as shewn in Figure 5,
where it is held by a piece of overlapping sheet iron D, which assists to stiffen it
and make it more durable.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what mauner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
In a sack holder-
1. The improved method of holding a sack distended.
2. The combination of carding either new or previously used for wool combing,
with a spout or holder for the purpose herein described.
3. The method of arranging the carding in connection with the holder.
