Support for flexible containers

Abstract

The present invention provides a support for flexible containers that features a detachable frame and legs, prevents unintended separation of the frame and legs after connection, and effectively supports the load acting from the flexible container. [Solution] The support 1 supports a flexible container in an open state. The support 1 comprises a frame 11 that supports the end of the flexible container, a plurality of projections 12 extending downward from the frame, and legs 13 having openings at their upper ends. The projections can be inserted into the openings to integrate the frame and legs, and the projections can be removed from the openings to separate the frame and legs. The legs have a first through hole and a second through hole. The legs and frame are annular in shape and are fixed together by a fastening body 31 that is inserted through the first and second through holes and wrapped around the frame.

Claims
