Abstract:
A holder for standard plastic lawn and leaf bags comprising an open triangular frame having a base section for positioning an edge of an open mouth of said bag along a ground surface, an elongated handle connected to and extending upwardly from said frame, said frame and said handle aligned substantially in the same plane, said frame including a pair of upwardly converging first and second side sections forming an upper apex of said frame, said first side section of said frame extending laterally from the apex of said frame to form a first side member of said handle, said first side member of said handle being reversely bent at an outer end thereof and forming a second side member of said handle, said second side member of said handle extending toward the apex of said frame in closely spaced parallel relation to said first side member of said handle, said second side member of said handle terminating in a reverse bend U-shaped loop including a short lateral portion overlying and rigidly fixed to a portion of said first side member of said handle adjacent the apex of said frame, said second side section of said frame terminating in a short lateral portion overlying and rigidly fixed to a portion of said second side member of said handle adjacent the apex of said frame thereby rigidly interconnecting said side members of the handle and side sections of the frame adjacent the apex of the frame, each of said short lateral portions terminating in a reverse bend forming a laterally extending substantially closed loop, said substantially closed loops being disposed on opposite sides of said handle in planes diverging from said handle to form oppositely facing bag anchors with each anchor including an acute angular recess between the plane of the side members of said handle and the planes of said substantially closed loops for securing an opposite portion of said bag open end.
