Bag holder apparatus including a rigid, upstanding holder back, a handle retainer structure on the holder back and a handle releasably attached to the holder back by the handle retainer structure. The handle when removed is used to open the bag and maintain the bag in open position.

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.

A hanging bag dispenser includes a bag support platform having a surface that contacts a last bag in a vertically supported bag pack. An angled mounting device is attached to the bag support platform to engage a mounting aperture that penetrates each bag in the bag pack. A positioning system is attached to the bag support platform and maintains the bag support platform at a sufficient height to allow the bag pack to extend downwardly from the mounting device. A pivotally mounted bag control arm is mounted to the bag support platform and permits installation of the bag pack on the mounting device when pivoted to a first, loading position and located to rest upon an outermost bag in the bag pack when pivoted to a second, control position. A surrounding control cage is attached to the dispenser to prevent a user from pulling a lower portion of the bag.

Exemplary embodiments are related to a bag dispenser. The bag dispenser can include a support structure, a first arm, a second arm, and a pin. The support structure can have an elongated body. The first arm can be operatively coupled to, and can extending from, a first end of the support structure. The second arm can be operatively coupled to, and can extend from, a second end of the support structure. The pin can have a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the pin can be secured to the first arm and can be configured to translate within a first bounded channel between a first opposing channel ends. The distal end of the pin is configured to be received by a second bounded channel and can be configured to translate within a second bounded channel between a second opposing channel ends.

Bag holder apparatus including a bag support platform, a rigid, upstanding back structure and a bag retainer structure fixedly attached to the back structure, the retainer structure including an elongated bar elevated relative to an upper end of the back structure and downwardly extending elongated bag engagement members spaced from the back structure.

A self-checkout device of an embodiment includes a bagging stand, a pair of pillars, a beam, a user interface terminal, and one or more brackets. The bagging stand includes a table and a scale that weighs a load placed on the table. The pair of pillars is installed on the bagging stand with a longitudinal direction thereof oriented vertically, and at least one outer surface of the pair of pillars is configured with a split exterior member that is splittable into a plurality of pieces in the longitudinal direction. The beam connects upper ends of the pillars. The user interface terminal is mounted on the beam. The one or more brackets receive attachment of an external device, and the bracket is positionally interchangeable with a part of the split exterior member.
