A bagging station with a bag holder includes a box that encloses a bag dispenser. The bag holder is mounted at a bagging station in a retail store so the bag dispenser can hold and dispense shopping bags at the bagging station. The bag holder includes a rectangular box with a sliding door front that encases the bag dispenser and the shopping bags. The sliding door slides between a closed position and an open position. In the open position, the bag dispenser is accessible at the bagging station, and is used to dispense shopping bags. In the closed position, the bag dispenser and the shopping bags are enclosed in the bag holder. In the closed position, the shopping bags will not fall off the bag dispenser, or be stolen from the bag dispenser.

An adjustable table assembly for use in a filler assembly includes a table having a top surface configured to receive a flexible container thereon and a clamp disposed on the table and configured to releasably secure the flexible container to the table. The table has an infeed end and an outfeed end opposite the infeed end. The table is movable along a plurality of rails affixed to the filler assembly. The table is movable between a loading position, in which the table is configured to receive the flexible container, and an operating position, in which the table is inside the filler assembly. The movement of the table along the plurality of rails is along a first axis. Filler assemblies and methods of using adjustable table assemblies are also disclosed.

An apparatus to facilitate bagging of a bag, the apparatus including an upper ring having a first circumference, the upper ring being disposed parallel to a ground surface, a center ring having a second circumference, the center ring being disposed below the upper ring, and a plurality of legs extending from a bottom surface of the upper ring towards the ground surface such that each of the plurality of legs contacts an inner circumferential surface of the center ring and a bottom surface of each of the plurality of legs contacts the ground surface.

A support device (20), mounted on an upper edge of a container (3), includes lifting elements that define a support surface (22) which extends transversely outwards from an inner edge (55). The upper end (2b) of a flexible pouch for biopharmaceutical product can rest on this support surface, the rest of the 3D-type pouch extending into the container. The slot (23) which separates the support surface into two portions defines a guide path for a flexible supply line (9a, 9b) for the pouch (2) that is connected at its bottom to the end (2b). A convex surface is formed at the rear end of the slot and above the edge of the container, so as to guide and facilitate the passage of the line (9a) into the housing, when the filling state is sufficiently advanced. The causes of poor deployment of the pouch are thus minimized, without human intervention.

A device and a method for filling bags with products, wherein the bags have an opening via which the bags are each filled with at least one product, wherein walls of the bag are spaced apart from one another in the region of the opening in order to introduce the at least one product into the bag via the opening, and wherein, after the walls are spaced apart and before the at least one product is supplied, holding elements are introduced into the bag through the opening in order to hold the open bag in the region of the opening. At least some holding elements have at least one shaping element against which a wall of the bag bears in each case such that the material of the wall is preferably plastically deformed in order to hold the wall on the respective holding element via the respective shaping element.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling electrically-powered trash receptacles and monitoring fullness levels. The system can include a storage enclosure and a bin contained inside the storage enclosure, the bin configured to receive and store items deposited in the storage enclosure, wherein an inside portion of the bin is at least partially covered by a bag placed inside the bin to hold the items deposited in the storage enclosure. The system can also include a sensor configured to sense a content fullness state of the bin and a processor configured to control operations performed by the sensor. In addition, the system can include a sleeve configured to be installed over an inside portion of the bin and the bag, the sleeve at least partially restricting a movement of the bag.

A bagging station with a bag holder is shown and described. The bag holder includes a box that encloses a bag dispenser. The bag holder is mounted at a bagging station in a retail store so the bag dispenser can hold and dispense shopping bags at the bagging station. The bag holder includes a rectangular box with a sliding door front that encases the bag dispenser and the shopping bags. The sliding door slides between a closed position and an open position. In the open position, the bag dispenser is accessible at the bagging station, and is used to dispense shopping bags. In the closed position, the bag dispenser and the shopping bags are enclosed in the bag holder. In the closed position, the shopping bags will not fall off the bag dispenser, or be stolen from the bag dispenser.

A yard waste bag holding device (1) for retaining a yard waste bag (3) in an open configuration so that it may more easily be filled with yard waste.

A waste receptacle holding device provides a handle being attached to a pair of hoops which engage each other to entrap a waste bag in between. The waste bag is then used to collect yard debris such as grass, leaves, and twigs while a user grasps the handle. An additional embodiment of the waste receptacle provides a rake head which may be removably attached to a top end of the handle to enable a user to perform a raking task when desired.

A bucket waste bag holder accessory that includes a support ring with a pendent skirt with at least two legs attached or formed on the front surface of the support ring or pendent skirt. Formed on the distal ends of each leg is a U-shaped clip configured to snap fit over the rounded top edge of a bucket. During installation, the top edge of a plastic bag is folded over the support ring and the pendent skirt and the closed end of the plastic bag is extended through a center opening. The legs are sufficiently spaced apart and extend downward from the support ring to support the top opening of the bag is a suspended, elevated position above the bucket while the closed end of the plastic bag rests inside the bucket. In one embodiment, the legs are configured to selectively rotate enabling them to attach to buckets with different top edges. An optional elastic strap may hold the plastic bag on the support ring and pendent skirt when filling the plastic bag with waste.
