Abstract:
1. A bag holder comprising: (a) a lower frame member having first and second ends and a curved surface that substantially conforms to a first circle's curvature, or at least a portion or segment of the first circle's curvature, the first circle having a first radius; (b) an upper frame member having first and second ends and a curved surface that substantially conforms to a second circle's curvature, or at least a portion or segment of the second circle's curvature, the second circle having a second radius that is the same as the first radius, the curved surface of the upper frame member having first and second ends with the curved surface of the upper frame member having an arc with ends at the first and second ends of curved surface of the upper frame member that is more than 180 degrees of the second circle's curvature; and (c) first, second and third vertical support members, each of the vertical support members comprising a one piece straight member that is fixed directly or indirectly to the radially outermost curved surfaces of both the upper and lower frame members by a means for attachment that is permanently fixed to the radially outermost curved surfaces of the upper and lower frame members with the upper and lower frame members spaced apart from one another, the second vertical support member being located substantially equidistant from the first and second vertical support members as measured along the curved surfaces of both the lower and upper frame members, the curved surface of the lower frame member having an arc with ends at the ends of the lower frame member that is not more than 180 degrees of the first circle's curvature, and the curved surface of the upper frame member having an arc with ends at the ends of the upper frame member that is more than 180 degrees of the second circle's curvature, each of the vertical supports being straight and having a first end vertically aligned with the upper frame member and a second end that is spaced apart from and located below the lower frame member.
