Bag retaining fixture

Abstract:

Described is a bagging station for use in a retail store to hold paper bags for filling with purchased products. The bagging station includes a bag retaining fixture for holding paper bags instead of hooks for holding plastic bags. The bag retaining fixture includes an elongate rod and a roller wheel. The elongate rod acts as an axle for the roller wheel. The elongate rod is coupled to a side wall of the bagging station. The elongate rod biases the roller wheel against the side wall. A side of a bag placed between the roller wheel and the side wall holds the paper bag in position on the bagging station so the bag can be filled with purchased items, then removed to be carried out of the store.
