Abstract:
1. A device for inserting a food stuff into a food stuff bag, comprising: a substantially flexible resilient food stuff support having at least one food stuff supporting element that has at least a first end for insertion a short depth into an opening of a pliable bag; a support bending mechanism for applying one or more forces wherein when the forces are applied, the food stuff support bends so that at least the first end deforms from a first configuration to a second configuration for insertion of the first end through the bag opening and into an interior of the bag; wherein when the forces are reduced, the first end changes shape toward the first configuration for holding a portion of the bag and for providing an open volume within the bag for transferring a food stuff to the interior of the bag; thereby holding the bag open and giving the bag a shape suitable for pouring a foodstuff into the bag, with said bag acquiring a shape such that a foodstuff may easily be inserted in said bag with reduced contact; and a support having an upright arrangement for supporting the food stuff in an orientation for transferring the food stuff into the bag, and a different substantially flattened arrangement for storage.
