ABSTRACT:
A device for maintaining the mouth of a bag in an open condition includes an annular body member which defines a central cavity sized and configured to accept a region of the bag's mouth therein (preferably in friction fit relationship). The body member is formed of a resilient, shape-retaining material (e.g., plastic) so as to radially outwardly bias the bag mouth to maintain the same in an open condition. A pair of manually operable wing members diverge from the body member relative to the respective sides of the defined cavity. The wing members collectively cause the cavity to dimensionally increase in response to a manual inward pressure being applied thereagainst so as to facilitate engagement/removal of the body member with the bag mouth.
