Benefits of technology

[0011] The present invention offers several advantages. The present invention provides an apparatus that allows for transportation of more than one bag without spillage of the bag's contents. The present invention also allows the user to minimize the number of trips to carry the bags to their destination because the apparatus allows for a number of bags to be carried simultaneously using the removable hooks, or by carrying the entire frame with the bags hanging from the hooks. The apparatus easily collapses to reduce the storage area it takes up when not in use.

Problems solved by technology

Plastic grocery bags are good for carrying groceries from the store to the vehicle, but they lack form and stability when put down in the back of the vehicle.
Therefore, the grocery bags do a poor job of holding the groceries during the trip home from the grocery store.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] A description of preferred embodiments of the invention follows.

[0022] Bag transportation apparatus 20 shown in FIG. 1 is an embodiment of the present invention. The apparatus of the present invention is used for storing bags in a vehicle during transportation thereby preventing the contents of the bags from spilling. The apparatus of the present invention is preferably used in the cargo area or trunk of a passenger vehicle. The apparatus includes frame 2 and removably attached handle hooks 4. Frame 2 includes of base 6, legs 8A and 8B and an upper bar 10. Like base 6, the base of the frame for the present invention can be any shape so long as it provides a stable way for holding up the upper bar and removable attached handle hooks. In FIG. 1A, base 6 includes two base stabilizing bars 14, two sets of base members, members 15A and 15B, connected by hinge 18. Hinge 18 receives base member 15A, and is connected, essentially perpendicularly to stabilizing bar 14. Hinge 18 allow...

Typically, when a grocery shopper arrives home the groceries are scattered around the cargo area of the vehicle. [0003] A need exists for a device that keeps groceries in their bags when transporting them in a vehicle. A further need exists for a system that more easily allows one to carry the grocery bags from their vehicle into the house. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] The present invention relates to an apparatus for storing bags in a vehicle during transportation. Th...
