The legs 9 serve to form an approximately
conoidal supporting member, journaled for
rotation upon its axis, and having its dimin-
ished end uppermost. Relatively large bun-
dles of bags may be mounted in those clips
18 which are adjacent the upper ends of them
legs 9, smaller bundles of bags being mount-
ed in those of the clips 18 which are dis-
posed adjacent the lower ends of the legs 9.
Thus, the larger bunches of bags may be
positioned within the contour of the sup-
porting member,- the floor space occupied
by the.supporting.member and the bags be-
ing correspondingly diminished. These
larger bundles .of bags, being disposed ad-
jacent the diminished end of the conoidal
supporting member, will obviously move. in
arcs of relatively small radius, when the
supporting member is rotated. Thus, the.
inertia of these larger bunches of bags, will.
have less tendency to throw them out of the
clips, under centrifugal action, when the
supporting member is rotated.
What is claimed is.
1. A. device of the class described com-
prising cooperating frame members, one of
which extends through the other; and an
article holding clip interlocked with the firstnamed member constituting a means for
holding the members together. - 30
2. A device of the class described com-
prising a block having a recess in its lower
face; intersecting braces of greater length.
than the diameter of the block; legs ap-
plied to the block and having their inner 35
faces beveled to fit against the periphery of
the block, the upper ends of the legs ter-
minating flush with the upper surface of
the block; securing elements uniting the up -
per ends of the legs with the block, the legs '40
resting against the outer ends of the braces; -
a base; a standard fixed to and rising from
the base, the standard passing rotatably
through the braces at their point of inter-
section, the upper end of the standard be- 45
ing received within the recess in the lower,
face of the block; and article-holding clips
applied to the legs.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing
as my own, I.have hereto affixed my signa-' 50
ture in.the presence of two witnesses.
