Problems solved by technology

While bags are good for collection and storage of all types of materials, they can be difficult to handle in that they must typically be supported.
Unfortunately however, several problems exist with these devices.
First, because paper bags are less pliable than plastic bags they do not fold down around a garbage can lid as easily as do plastic bags.
Additionally, paper does not conform to the shape of a garbage can the way plastic does, making it susceptible to tearing and thus more difficult to keep in place without a garbage can of similar size.
Third, even when plastic can be used, a full plastic bag must be lifted up and out of a can.
Due to suction within the can, as well as the sheer weight of a full bag (plastic, paper, or burlap) this lifting can be an arduous and possibly injury producing necessity.
Fourth, large garbage cans take up a substantial area, making storage unsightly, and possibly costly (if numerous large cans must be stored, storage area must be purchased), and inconvenient.
Fifth, during indoor bagging applications it can be difficult to match a paper or burlap type bag to a typical kitchen garbage container.
Unfortunately, it is inconvenient to use paper or burlap bags (or even plastic grocery bags) in this type of application because of size, cost, and pliability constraints.

first embodiment

[0029] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 a bag holding device 100 is illustrated and includes bag holding structure 102 defining a bag cavity 104 including at least one bag opening 106, wherein the at least one bag opening 106 is communicated with the bag cavity 104 to allow a bag 108 to be moved into and out of the bag cavity 104. The bag 108 can be moved into and out of the bag cavity 104 through at least one opening 106 and may be accomplished with a minimal amount of actual lifting of the bag 108. Bags 108, which can be used in conjunction with a bag holding structure 102, may include any type of bag 108 suitable to the desired end purpose, such as a plastic leaf bag, a kitchen garbage bag, a paper leaf bag, a paper grocery bag, an empty pellet stove pellet bag, a burlap bag, and a composite material bag.

[0030] The bag holding structure 102 may also include at least one wheel 110 for locomotion, as illustrated in FIG. 4. The at least one wheel 110 attaches to the bag holding structu...

second embodiment

[0035] Referring to FIGS. 12, 13 and 14, a bag holding device 1200 is illustrated including a bag holding structure 1202 which is configurable in size. The bag holding structure 1202 defines a bag cavity 1204 including at least one bag opening 1216, wherein the at least one bag opening 1216 is communicated with the bag cavity 1204 to allow a bag 108 to be moved into and out of the bag cavity 1204. The bag holding structure 1202 includes segments 1206 and 1210 which form a first side of the bag holding device 1202 and segments 1208 and 1212 which form a second side of the bag holding device. The segments 1206 and 1210 and 1208 and 1212 may be hinged at 1216 to allow segments 1206 and 1208 to fold up by rotating away from the bag cavity 1204 and rest flush against segments 1210 and 1212 respectively, as shown in FIG. 13. Segments 1210 and 1212 are hinged at 1218 to allow both sets of segments 1206 / 1210 and 1208 / 1212 to rotate into the bag cavity 1204 and rest flush against the bag hol...

third embodiment

[0037] Referring to FIG. 15 through FIG. 22, a bag holding device 1500 is illustrated and includes a bag holding structure 1520 defining a bag cavity 1510 including at least one bag opening 1522, wherein the at least one bag opening 1522 is communicated with the bag cavity 1510 to allow a bag to be moved into and out of the bag cavity 1510, wherein attaching devices may be used to attach the bag to the bag holding structure 1520. Additionally, the bag cavity 1510 in this embodiment may be width, height, and depth adjustable via any method and / or device suitable to the desired end purpose, such as slides and hinges.

[0038] The adjustable bag holder 1500 may include a first side 1502 associated with a second side 1504 via a base 1506 and a back structure 1508 to define a bag cavity 1510 including at least one bag opening 1522, wherein the at least one bag opening 1522 is communicated with the bag cavity 1510 to allow a bag to be moved into and out of the bag cavity 1510. Moreover, the ...

Abstract

A container holding device is provided and includes a device structure, wherein the device structure includes a first structure side portion associated with a second structure side portion to define a structure cavity for supportingly containing a container, wherein the first structure side portion and the second structure side portion further define a structure opening communicated with the structure cavity to allow the container to be moved into and out of the structure cavity.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This disclosure relates generally to a device for holding a container, and more particularly to a device for holding a bag. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] For years people have been using bags to collect and store such things as garbage, leaves, grass, and other assorted waste. These bags have been made of paper, plastic, burlap, and composite materials, and are used both for outdoor uses such as yard work, and indoor uses such as garbage collection and disposal. While bags are good for collection and storage of all types of materials, they can be difficult to handle in that they must typically be supported. This can be accomplished via a two person operation, wherein one person holds a bag open and the other gathers material and places it in the held open bag. The draw back here is the necessity for two people, and thus devices have been created which are designed to hold bags open and in place. [0003] One such device is a garbage can which is well...
