SUPPORT FOR HOLDING OPEN A BAG

摘要

The invention relates to a support (1) for holding open a bag (14), in particular a plastic material rubbish bag. The support (1) comprises a hoop (2) and a plurality of clips (4) spaced equidistantly around the hoop (2). The hoop (2) defines an opening through which the open bag (14) may be inserted with the opening (16) of the bag being clipped to the clips (4). The hoop (2) thereby supports the bag (14) so that the bag hangs through the opening when the hoop is raised. The hoop (2) has a circular cross-section, with each clip (4) being spring-biased to conform to the hoop (2), so that the bag is pinched between the clip and the hoop. When the bag hangs from the support (1), the weight of the bag (14) bears on each clip (4) to pinch the bag tighter in each clip (4).
