Abstract:
A mechanical bag holder for holding and supporting bags and other containers, said mechanical bag holder suited for holding and supporting said bags and said containers while said bags or said containers are being filled with refuse or goods, said mechanical bag holder comprising:(A) a curved rigid vertical support structure comprising an upper curved segment with a topmost point,(1) said curved segment having a first transitional point and a second transitional point, said curved rigid vertical support structure further comprising(a) a first straight leg and a second straight leg,(b) each said first straight leg and said second straight leg being contiguously connected to said first transitional point and said second transitional point respectively,(2) said first straight leg and said second straight leg being parallel to each other when said curved rigid vertical support structure is standing upright,(B) a first cylindrical transverse polyvinylchloride hollow piping, said first cylindrical transverse polyvinylchloride hollow piping comprising(1) a first end and a second end,(a) said first end physically attached to said first straight leg and said second end physically attached to said second straight leg,(2) said first cylindrical transverse polyvinylchloride hollow piping being at a right angle to said curved rigid vertical support structure,(C) a first straight segment extending within said first cylindrical transverse polyvinylchloride hollow piping,(1) said straight segment comprising a first angled arm and a second angled arm,(a) said first angled arm emerging from said first end of said first cylindrical transverse polyvinylchloride hollow piping and(b) said second angled arm emerging from said second end of said first cylindrical transverse polyvinylchloride hollow piping,whereby said curved rigid vertical support structure supports said straight segment within said first transverse polyvinylchloride hollow cylindrical piping such that said straight segment can be swiveled within said first transverse polyvinylchloride hollow cylindrical piping, thereby causing said first angled arm and said second angled arm to be moved vertically or laterally while supporting said bag or container.
