A bag and system for dispensing thermoplastic bags or the like from a stack of bags. The present system is configured for point of use dispensing to a customer, such as in the produce section of a grocery store or market. Each bag pack is dispensed from a station which includes an underlying, medially situated, angled bag pack support, configured to provide optimal support for the user in opening and removing the bag to be dispensed from the bag pack. Further contemplated is a unique cover which is placed over the bag pack to be dispensed, the cover having an opening formed therethrough for the dispensing of bags therethrough, the opening configured to provide optimal dispensing of the bags while maintaining the remaining bags in a uniform bag pack.

An apparatus for storing an object in an elevated storage position, the storage apparatus comprising: an elongated track mountable to a wall, the elongated track having an upper end and a lower end; a support mechanism for receiving the object; an assembly for mounting the support mechanism to the elongated track such that the support mechanism can move along the elongated track between a loading position, wherein the object can be loaded onto the support mechanism, and a storage position, wherein the object on the support mechanism is elevated relative to the loading position; and a drive assembly operable for moving the support mechanism between the loading and storage positions, the drive assembly including: a drive mechanism including a drive drum rotatably coupled to the elongated track near the lower end, a first drive pulley rotatably coupled to the elongated track between the loading position of the support mechanism and the drive drum, and drive means coupled to the support mechanism and partially wound about the drive drum and the first drive pulley, the drive mechanism preventing movement of the support mechanism between the loading and storage positions upon operation of the drive assembly when the object on the support mechanism exceeds a maximum weight limit of the storage apparatus, wherein operation of the drive assembly when the weight of the object exceeds the maximum weight limit does not cause a failure of the drive mechanism which would prevent the operation of the drive assembly when the weight of the object does not exceed the maximum weight limit.2. The storage apparatus of claim 1 wherein the drive mechanism is movable, such that, when the object on the support mechanism does not exceed the maximum weight limit of the storage apparatus, movement of the drive mechanism imparts movement of the support mechanism along the elongated track via the drive means.3. The storage apparatus of claim 2 wherein the drive means is a flexible drive element.4. The storage apparatus of claim 3 wherein the flexible drive element is a cable.5. The storage apparatus of claim 4 wherein the cable has a first end anchored to the upper end of the elongated track and a second end anchored to the lower end of the elongated track, and wherein the cable is coupled to the support mechanism between the first and second ends.6. The storage apparatus of claim 5 wherein the elongated track has a back side positioned adjacent to the wall and an opposite front side, wherein the support mechanism has a front end located at the front side of the elongated track and a back end located at the back side of the elongated track, and wherein between the first and second ends, the cable is coupled to the front end of the support mechanism.7. The storage apparatus of claim 5 wherein the elongated track has a back side positioned adjacent to the wall and an opposite front side, wherein the support mechanism has a front end located at the front side of the elongated track and a back end located at the back side of the elongated track, and wherein between the first and second ends, the cable is coupled to the back end of the support mechanism.8. The storage apparatus of claim 7 wherein between the first and second ends, the cable is further coupled to the front end of the support mechanism.9. The storage apparatus of claim 8 wherein the support mechanism has a horizontal centerline, wherein the cable is coupled to the front end of the support mechanism above the horizontal centerline, and wherein the cable is coupled to the back end of the support mechanism below the horizontal centerline.10. The storage apparatus of claim 8 wherein the front end of the support mechanism includes a front pulley, wherein the back end of the support mechanism includes a back pulley, and wherein between the first and second ends the cable passes over the front and back pulleys.11. The storage apparatus of claim 10 wherein the upper end of the elongated tr
