Bag Container Dispenser Rack for Compact Clean Bag Dispensing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bag dispensing systems for retail stores, particularly those used for deli sliders and similar items, occupy too much floor space, require roll-mounted bags, and lack features like visual refilling indicators, adaptability to various mountings, and ease of cleaning, making them inefficient and inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A bag container dispenser with a removable access panel and flexible closure portion, designed to minimize floor space usage, accommodate multiple bag sizes, and include a dispenser rack with adjustable mounting options, made from materials like cardboard, plastic, or metal, with features like perforations and angled guards for secure and easy bag dispensing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If existing bag dispensing systems are used, then bags can be dispensed, but they occupy too much floor space
Solution Approach 1:
The dispensing system is divided into modular components: a container for holding bags, a dispensing mechanism with opening/closing flaps, and a rack structure. This segmentation allows compact arrangement while maintaining functional efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple containers can be stacked or nested within the rack structure, allowing vertical arrangement that minimizes floor space while maximizing dispensing capacity. The rack itself can be nested within larger storage systems.
2Adaptability or versatility
If roll-mounted bags are used, then continuous supply is achieved, but adaptability to various bag sizes is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The container and rack are designed with universal dimensions and opening mechanisms that can accommodate multiple bag sizes and types. The flapped opening design works with various bag configurations, making the system multi-functional.
Solution Approach 2:
The dispensing mechanism features movable flaps and adjustable components that can adapt their configuration based on the bag size being dispensed, providing dynamic adaptability without requiring complex mounting systems.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional dispensing openings are used, then bags are accessible, but bag cleanliness is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The opening mechanism extracts only the necessary portion (single bag) from the container through controlled flap movement, minimizing exposure of remaining bags to contamination while maintaining easy access to the dispensed bag.
Solution Approach 2:
The flapped opening acts as an intermediary barrier that controls the transition between the protected bag stack and the external environment, allowing bag access while preventing contamination of bags that remain in the container.
4Adaptability or versatility
If fixed mounting positions are used, then stable installation is achieved, but adaptability to different locations is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The rack incorporates adjustable mounting mechanisms that can be dynamically positioned at different heights and locations while maintaining stable installation through secure attachment features.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system is designed with universal attachment features that can be installed on various surfaces (walls, counters, floors) at different locations, providing both flexibility and reliability across diverse installation environments.

AI summary
A bag container dispenser includes a bag container. The container is formed of resilient material and has a bottom, a top, first and second sides, a front, a back and a removable access panel. The access panel has a top segment that includes a portion of the top and a connected front segment. The front segment has a height that extends from the bottom to the top. Stacked bags are sized and shaped to fit within the bag container. Each of the bags has a front wall, a back wall, an open top and a closure mechanism. The bags are dispensable from the container through an opening provided by removal of the access panel which may have a removable cover. A dispenser rack has a horizontal platform sized and shaped to support the bag container. Peripheral guards extend upward from the platform and constrain movement of the container during dispensing.
