Abstract
Exemplary embodiments are related to a bag dispenser. The bag dispenser can include a support structure, a first arm, a second arm, and a pin. The support structure can have an elongated body. The first arm can be operatively coupled to, and can extending from, a first end of the support structure. The second arm can be operatively coupled to, and can extend from, a second end of the support structure. The pin can have a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the pin can be secured to the first arm and can be configured to translate within a first bounded channel between a first opposing channel ends. The distal end of the pin is configured to be received by a second bounded channel and can be configured to translate within a second bounded channel between a second opposing channel ends.
Claims16
A bag dispenser comprising:
- a support structure having an elongated body extending between a first end and a second end;
- a first arm operatively coupled to and extending perpendicularly from the first end of the support structure, the first arm including a first bounded channel extending along a length of the first arm;
- a pin having a proximal end and a distal end and extending through the first bounded channel, the proximal end of the pin being secured to the first arm and being configured to translate within the first bounded channel between a first opposing channel ends, the first opposing channel ends preventing removal of the pin from the first bounded channel;
- and
- a second arm operatively coupled to and extending from the second end of the support structure, the second arm including a second bounded channel extending along a length of the second arm between second opposing channel ends;
- wherein the second arm is configured to rotate, via a joint, between (i) a first position in which the second arm is perpendicular to the first arm to facilitate installation of a roll of bags having a center opening through which the pin is configured to extend, and (ii) a second position in which the second arm is parallel to and opposingly spaced from the first arm, the distal end of the pin extends through the second bounded channel of the second arm when the second arm is in the second position to secure the roll of bags between the first and second arms.

- a first arm operatively coupled to and extending perpendicularly from the first end of the support structure, the first arm including a first bounded channel extending along a length of the first arm;
- a second arm operatively coupled to and extending from the second end of the support structure, the second arm including a second bounded channel extending along a length of the second arm between second opposing channel ends;
- and
- a pin having a proximal end and a distal end and extending through the second bounded channel, the proximal end of the pin being secured to the first arm and being configured to translate within the first bounded channel between the first opposing channel ends, the distal end being received by the second bounded channel and configured to translate within the second bounded channel between the second opposing channel ends,
- wherein the first and second opposing channel ends prevent removal of the pin from the first bounded channel and the second bound channel.
