Harris Attorneys-J. Wesley Everett and George L. Brehm ABSTRACT: A device for holding large bags in open position for receiving trash, leaves, cut grass, etc. The device is formed of conventional rigid bendable material such as steel, aluminum, plastic and other suitable materials, and is provided with a top ring, depending legs and a detachable support ring releasably secured intermediate of the top and bottom of the legs, all of which are so arranged that the device may be folded flat in order that it will take up only a minimum amount of space when not in use.
BAG HOLDER The present invention relates to a device for holding the mouth of bags open and in position to receive refuse, such as leaves, mowed grass, garbage, etc.
There is now available some types of these devices, however, the present structure is more rigid, practical and easier to construct, than any of the types examined. The device is readily foldable to lie flat, for storage. In this folded position, the bag holder, when not in use, will take up very little space.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a foldable bag-holding device for holding the mouth of large bags open when they are being filled.
Another object of the invention is to provide a readily foldable structure that will be rigid when set up for use and easy to fold for storage.
A further object of the invention is to provide a structure that may be assembled and disassembled without tools.
While several objects of the invention have been pointed out, other objects, uses and advantages will be more apparent as the nature of the invention is more fully disclosed from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. I is a perspective assembled view in elevation of the bag holder;
FIG. 2 is a view in elevation of the folded bag holder;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view taken on line 3-3 of FIG. ll
' partly in elevation and partly in section;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view taken on line 4-4 of FIG. 1 partly in elevation and partly in section.
Referring now to the drawings, 1 represents a top ring. Extending downwardly from the top ring 1 are legs 2, 3, 4 and 5. At the top of the legs there are closely wound coil sections 2', 3', 4' and 5, These sections are so wound that each of them are slidable on the ring 1. The spiral is rotatable on the ring but because of the length of the spiral there is very little lateral motion.
Secured to the legs by spot welding or otherwise are ring securing members 2", 3", and 5" The ring securing members are fixed to the outside surface of the legs and are provided with turned up clip portions 6, 7, 8 and 9 which are adapted to engage a second ring 10.
When the bag holder is in the position as shown in FIG. I it is ready to receive a bag 12 which is usually of plastic or cloth. The bag is shown in dotted lines and is lowered bottom first through the top ring 1 until the bottom of the bag reaches or approaches the base upon which the device is resting. The top of the bag is folded over ring 1 from the inside out and is pulled down over the ring as shown in dotted lines at 12' in FIG. I.
When the device is not in use, it is folded up as shown in FIG. 2. This is done by removing the ring from the clips 6,
7, 8 and 9 moving the coils 2, 3', 4' and 5' to one side of the ring as shown in FIG. 2 when the rings may be hung on a peg or support Ill, or stored longitudinally in a shallow or narrow space. When the holder is again needed to support a bag, the procedure is reversed by spacing the legs about the ring as shown in FIG. 1 and placing the ring 10 over the top thereof until it reaches the position of the clips as shown in FIG. 1 where it is engaged thereby and is ready to receive the bag.
The device may be used on the lawn or on concrete footing or other type of support as a truck body where the bag may be filled to hauling to be disposed of.
I claim:
1. An improved flexible bag holder comprising a structure:
a. a closed metal ring forming the top thereof;
b. a plurality of metal legs of substantially the same length adapted to said top ring, said legs adapted to extend outwardly from the ring for rigidly supporting said ring upwardly from the ground to a supporting surface at a predetermined distance therefrom, the upper end of each metal leg having at least two turns of closely wound coils of slightly larger inside diameter than the outside diameter of the top ring wherein the coiled ends of the legs are slidable along the ring;
a second ring releasable means carried by each of the legs for positioning said second ring intermediate of the ends of said legs for determining the spread of the outer ends of the legs in relationship to the diameter of the top ring;
e. the second-mentioned ring is of greater diameter than the top ring and is adapted to extend over the outer surface of the legs and be detachably attached thereto by a spring clip fixedly secured to the leg memlbers.
A foldable holder for flexible bags comprising a structure: a. a closed metal ring forming the top thereof; b. a plurality of metal legs of substantially the same length adapted to said top ring, said legs adapted to extend outwardly from the ring for rigidly supporting said ring upwardly from the ground to a supporting surface at a predetermined distance therefrom, the upper end of each metal leg having at least two turns of closely wound coils of slightly larger inside diameter than the outside diameter of the top ring wherein the coiled ends of the legs are slidable along the ring;
a second ring releasable means carried by each of the legs for positioning said second ring intermediate of the ends of the said legs for determining the spread of the outer ends of the legs in relationship to the diameter of the top ring;
e. the second-mentioned ring is of greater diameter than the top ring and is adapted to extend over the outer surface of the legs and be detachably attached thereto.
