Abstract
A bag holder device having an anvil portion and an elongated member pivotally attached to the body member with the arm member having a bag engaging end portion for contacting the anvil surface. A biasing member is connected between the arm member and the body member to bias the bag engaging end against an inside surface of the anvil. When a portion of a bag is placed between the bag engaging end portion and the anvil surface, the bag is firmly gripped and any downward force on the bag causes a firmer gripping action of the bag by pivoting the bag engaging portion against the anvil surface. A filling machine is also presented wherein a pair of the holder devices transport a bag through several work stations with both holder devices being automatically opened and one of the holder devices being pivoted laterally to aid in receiving a bag between the pairs of holder devices.
