Method and means of dispensing T-shirt type bags

A method of dispensing T-shirt type plastic bags comprising the steps of:

• selecting a frame having a pair of outer rods and an open portion therein for receiving at least one tray, said frame capable of being mountable under a counter,
• selecting a tray having at least one spike attached substantially at the back portion of said tray for receiving a pad of the T-shirt type plastic bags on the at least one spike,
• inserting said tray within said open portion of said frame by sliding outer edges of said tray along said pair of outer rods of said frame,
• locking said tray in place within said frame when said tray is fully placed within said open portion of said frame,
• partially removing said tray from said open portion of said frame by unlocking said tray from said frame by sliding said tray from said frame and tilting said tray downward with respect to said frame until said tray locks in the tilted downward position,
• selecting a bundle of the T-shirt type plastic bags that have preselected sleeves cut therefrom held together with multiple frangible bonds, and at least one hole at a mouth of each of said bags,
• loading said tray with the T-shirt type plastic bags by folding the sleeves over and inserting the at least one hole at the mouth of the bags onto the at least one spike, thereby resting an end of the T-shirt type plastic bags substantially at the back portion of said tray, and
• reinserting and locking said tray back within said open portion of said frame by sliding outer edges of said tray along said pair of outer rods of said frame until said frame is substantially completely within said open portion of said frame.

A T-shirt type bag dispensing system, comprising:

• a supporting structure made up of front and rear spaced-apart vertical frames, each of said vertical frames forming an open portion therein, said front and rear spaced-apart, vertical frames being held in the spaced apart relationship with one another by a pair of spaced-apart elements;
• each of said pair of elements having an upturned portion on one end thereof;
• at least one tray for holding a packet of T-shirt-type bags, said at least one -tray having a frame-like configuration and being made up of a front element, a rear element and a pair of side elements, all elements being interconnected together;
• said rear element having at least one spike upstanding therefrom and further having downturned outer ends;
• and
• wherein, said tray is capable of moving between
• a locked position with respect to said supporting structure when said front element of said tray engages said upturned portion of each of said pair of elements of said supporting structure, and
• a tilted position in which said downturned outer ends of said rear element of said tray engages said front frame of said supporting structure.
