Wireframe Bag Dispenser Rack for Flexible Mounting and Secure Loading
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bag dispensing systems in supermarkets and grocery stores are inefficient in space usage, require fixed installations, and lack features for easy loading, cleanliness, versatility in mounting options, and maximum visibility of display graphics.
Innovation Solution
A wireframe constructed bag container dispenser rack with a containment structure that fits slidably around the bag container, includes a support stand for versatile surface attachment, and features like apertures for alignment with dispensing openings, latches for security, and openings for visual access, allowing easy loading, cleaning, and adaptable mounting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional fixed-location rack systems are used, then bag dispensing function is provided, but counter space efficiency is reduced and mounting versatility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The rack system is designed with multiple mounting capabilities, allowing it to be installed on vertical surfaces, horizontal surfaces, or angled surfaces. The same basic rack structure can accommodate different orientations and locations, eliminating the need for different rack designs for different mounting scenarios and improving space utilization flexibility.
2Illumination intensity
If wireframe construction with openings is used, then visibility of display graphics is improved and cleaning is facilitated, but structural strength is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The rack employs a wireframe construction that combines open framework structure with strategically placed support elements. The wireframe provides visibility and cleaning access, while the composite nature of the framework with reinforced sections maintains sufficient structural strength to support bag containers and withstand handling forces.
3Ease of operation
If containment structure fits slidably about container, then loading ease is improved, but risk of accidental displacement is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The containment structure is designed to fit slidably about the bag container, creating a secure yet easily loadable system. The slidable fit allows the container to be smoothly inserted and removed without requiring complex fastening mechanisms, while still providing sufficient retention to prevent accidental displacement during normal operation.

AI summary
A bag container dispenser rack includes a containment structure that has an open first end and an opposite, second end. The structure is sized and shaped to fit slidably about a container dispenser for film bags and has an aperture at the second end. The aperture is sized, shaped and located to at least partially align with a dispensing opening in the container dispenser. A support stand is attached to the containment structure and provides connection to a surface. The support stand is pivotally mounted to an underside of the structure and optionally is securable in either a first, upper position or a second, lower position. A latch prevents unwanted removal of the dispenser from the rack. Two or more structures may be attached to the support stand, thereby providing a choice of bags. Openings are provided in the rack to provide visual access to outer surfaces of the dispenser.
