Hook arrangement

Abstract

A hook arrangement, for suspending plastic or polyethylene bags that are connected by means of a disposable header, which does not occupy any floor space in the establishments it is to be used in, and which is stable, easy to use, pleasing to the eye, inexpensive to fabricate, and places the plastic bags, that are used in conjunction with it, within easy reach of the consumers requiring the use of such bags.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A hook arrangement for suspending plastic bags comprising: 
 (a) a mounting plate with a front portion and a back portion; and    (b) first and second laterally spaced, and generally parallel rod members that are affixed to said mounting plate, wherein a section of each of said rod members protrudes from the front portion of said plate to form a U-shaped hook, while the remainder of each of said rod members protrudes from the back portion of said mounting plate to form an inverted U-shaped hook.    
     
     
         2 . The hook arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of holes are formed in said mounting plate.  
     
     
         3 . The hook arrangement of  claim 1 , further comprising a third U-shaped rod member, which is affixed to said mounting plate between the first and second rod members, the third rod member forming an inverted U-shaped hook that protrudes from the back portion of said mounting plate.  
     
     
         4 . The hook arrangement of  claim 3 , wherein a plurality of holes are formed in said mounting plate.  
     
     
         5 . A hook arrangement for suspending plastic bags comprising: 
 (a) a mounting plate with a front portion and a back portion; and    (b) first and second laterally spaced and generally parallel rod members that are affixed to said mounting plate, wherein a section of each of said members protrudes from the front portion of said plate to form a U-shaped hook while the remainder of each of said members protrudes from the back portion of said plate to from inverted L-shaped legs.    
     
     
         6 . The hook arrangement of  claim 5 , wherein a plurality of holes are formed in said mounting plate.  
     
     
         7 . The hook arrangement of  claim 5 , wherein a rod member is attached perpendicularly, at each end, to each of said inverted L-shaped legs.  
     
     
         8 . A hook arrangement for suspending plastic bags comprising: 
 (a) a first mounting plate with a front portion and a back portion;    (b) a second mounting plate with a front portion and a back portion;    (c) first and second laterally spaced and generally parallel U-shaped hooks that are affixed to said first mounting plate;    (d) first and second laterally spaced and generally parallel straight rod members that are each affixed at one end to said first mounting plate and on the other end to said second mounting plate; and    (e) third and fourth laterally spaced and generally parallel rod members that protrude from the back portion of said second plate to from inverted L-shaped legs.    
     
     
         9 . The hook arrangement of  claim 8 , wherein a plurality of holes are formed in said first mounting plate.  
     
     
         10 . The hook arrangement of  claim 8 , wherein a plurality of holes are formed in said second mounting plate.  
     
     
         11 . The hook arrangement of  claim 8 , wherein a plurality of holes are formed in each of said first and second mounting plates.  
     
     
         12 . The hook arrangement of  claim 8 , wherein a rod member is attached perpendicularly, at each end, to each of said inverted L-shaped legs.  
     
     
         13 . A hook arrangement for suspending plastic bags comprising: 
 (a) a generally flat base member;    (b) a vertical member that is attached perpendicularly at one end to the center of said base member; and    (c) a rod member having a horizontal portion which is attached perpendicularly near its center to a point on the vertical member near the free end of said vertical member, said rod member having a first and second leg, each depending perpendicularly and upwardly from said horizontal portion, with each end of said legs culminating in a V-shaped hook that depends upwardly from each of said legs.    
     
     
         14 . The hook arrangement of  claim 13 , wherein a plurality of holes are formed in said base member.  
     
     
         15 . A hook arrangement for suspending plastic bags comprising: 
 (a) a mounting plate with a front portion and a back portion;    (b) first and second laterally spaced and generally parallel rod members that are affixed to said mounting plate, and a section of each of said members protrudes from the front portion of said plate to form a U-shaped hook; and    (c) first and second laterally spaced and generally parallel rectangular members that are affixed to said mounting plate, each of said rectangular members having two depending portions that protrude from the back portion of said mounting plate to form a bracket configuration.    
     
     
         16 . The hook arrangement of  claim 15 , wherein a plurality of holes are formed in said mounting plate.  
     
     
         17 . The hook arrangement of  claim 15 , wherein a plurality of holes are formed in said rectangular members.
