Clam shell bag dispenser

An adapter for a bin, said bin having:

• a support enclosure for a roll of film bags, said bin having a half round cylindrical wall, first and second vertical side walls;
• a supporting rim, said rim disposed orthogonally to front edges of said side walls and upper and lower edges of said cylindrical wall and having spaced apertures for mounting said bin to a surface;
• said surface having an opening sized and shaped to permit passage of outer surfaces of said walls but not said supporting rim;
• said vertical side walls having first and second integral channels, said channels providing an entry point and support for either of a rod, said rod being sized and shaped to support said roll of bags in said bin, and an adapter for a bin;
• said adapter comprising:
• first and second bag dispensers for folded roll mounted film bags, each of said dispensers comprising:
• a planar base, said base having a first side and a second side and being sized and shaped to fit beneath a roll of said film bags and being mounted to a fixture;
• at least one first side travel limiter, said first side limiter attached to said planar base adjacent said first side and limiting movement of said roll of film bags toward said first side;
• at least one second side travel limiter, said second side limiter attached to said planar base adjacent said second side and limiting movement of said roll of film bags toward said second side;
• a bag roll tray, said bag roll tray having a vertical portion, said vertical portion being attached to said planar base, a U-shaped portion extending from said vertical portion and spaced apart from said planar base and a horizontal portion extending from said U-shaped portion and spaced above said planar base, said bag roll tray being sized and shaped to fit between said at least one first side travel limiter and said at least one second side travel limiter, said U-shaped portion in contact with said horizontal portion forming a concave shape to accept a lower surface of a bag roll, thereby stabilizing said roll in said dispenser;
• a retaining bracket, said retaining bracket being hingedly mounted adjacent a front edge of said planar base and being sized and shaped to prevent said roll of film bags from moving outwardly from said dispenser when said bracket is disposed in a first, upper position;
• said retaining bracket being movable to a second, lower position for introduction of said roll into said dispenser;
• and
• an upward facing snagging hook, said snagging hook being sized and shaped to engage either of a chisel cut and a perforation in a film bag from said roll of film bags as said bag is withdrawn from said dispenser;
• said fixture comprising a planar surface, said surface being sized and shaped to fit at least partially within said bin;
• a first axle, said first axle being mounted orthogonally adjacent a first side edge of said fixture;
• a second axle, said second axle being mounted orthogonally adjacent a second side edge of said fixture;
• said first axle being mounted coaxially with said second axle;
• and
• first and second positioning wheels, said positioning wheels being mounted to said first and second axles and disposed to slidably engage said first and second integral channels with a bottom surface of said fixture disposed adjacent a lower portion of said cylindrical wall of said bin.
