Abstract: An elongated central shaft is provided at one end with a hook for supporting thereon a hanger for a garment contained thereon. The other end of the central elongated shaft is connected to a mounting element which mounts the arrangement on an apparatus for bagging garments. The elongated shaft has mounted thereabout a spreader unit which is hinged at its ends thereof so that, as a bag is pulled down from an apparatus for bagging garments, the spreader unit positioned about the central elongated shaft will cause the leading end of the bag to open up and thereby avoid contact with the hook and the central elongated shaft.

Abstract: An elongated central shaft is provided at one end with a hook for supporting thereon a hanger for a garment. The other end of the central elongated shaft is connected to a mounting element which mounts the arrangement on an apparatus for bagging garments. The elongated shaft has mounted thereabout a compressible spreader unit which is hinged at its ends so that, as a bag is pulled down from an apparatus for bagging garments, the spreader unit positioned about the central elongated shaft will cause the bag to open and avoid contact with the hook and the central elongated shaft.

Abstract: For a bagging device, there is provided a roll of polyethylene bags which are fed through a braking device and thence past spreading devices and a floating hook support, whereupon are engaged sequentially the hooks of hangers upon which garments or the like are supported. The bags are provided with indicia thereupon which can be detected by a detecting device to actuate the braking device so that the bags may be readily torn off before they seat on the respective garments being packaged.

Abstract: Bags from a roll of polyethylene bags are fed through a braking device and thence past spreading devices and a floating hook support, whereupon are engaged sequentially the hooks of hangers upon which garments or the like are supported. The bags are provided with indicia which are detected by a detecting device to actuate the braking device so that the bags may be readily torn off before they seat on the respective garments being packaged. Provision is made for adjustments of the braking time so that the brake automatically releases after a fixed period of time thereby facilitating a drawing of the bags from the source for sequential bagging operations.
