ABSTRACT:
An expandable bag movable between a contracted position and an expanded position. The expandable bag comprises a body enclosing a space. The body has top and bottom walls, front and rear walls and left and right walls. A handle is mounted on the body. At least one of the top and bottom and left and right walls includes first and second substantially rigid frame members movable toward and away from each other during contraction and expansion of the bag. A rigid plate and one or more fasteners for mounting the plate on one of the first and second frame members are provided. The plate slidably overlies the other of the first and second frame members to provide a rigid framework for the bag when the bag is in the expanded position.
