Abstract
A bag restraining system, and method of its use is diclosed. The bag restraining system, in its preferred embodiment, provides a device that can be easily attached to existing two wheel transport units while providing a vast range of vertical and horizontal adjustment necessary to effectively restrain and accommodate bages of various lengths and/or diamters. The system provides for the quick and easy removal of the protruding elements, on which bags are restrained, from the two wheel transport unit to allow immediate use of the two wheel transport unit in a material transport capacity when desired. The system incorporates automatic gripping, force controlling and distributing compressible material elements which, either alone or in conjunction with forces developed by rotating members, control and distribute the restraining forces exerted on a restrained bag. The system also provides for quick and easy bag release. Said attributes help to prevent the development of high stresses in restrained bags which result from application of large forces at points thereon, and thereby minimize the possibility that bags restrained in the system will be torn. The system is also essentially self contained thereby minimizing the chance that parts thereof will be lost.
