DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a device for converting bags into baskets, particularly rubbish or refuse baskets and for supporting other objects and accessories.
The present invention relates more particularly to a device for carrying bags so as to make baskets out of them, particularly for rubbish, with the possibility of supporting one or more bags at one and the same time and/or other objects and accessories and which may serve for different uses.
The device of the present invention may carry bags of various sizes. It may be placed on the ground on a folding base or be suspended. It is made from plasticized resilient metal rods, but may be made from plastic and/or other materials. It normally comprises three supports: a support in the vertical position in the form of an upturned V with the sides, close to the angle, rounded. The ends of its arms each end in a ring shaped loop on which the second support may pivot formed by a shaft with its projections on both sides which are bent symmetrically forming with the shaft angles which set them up as two U shaped rods (where their joint which is the shaft is straight) and having at their ends fasteners for supporting the bag. The shaft for its part carries a third support which is the base and which also has the form of a U but horizontally through its loops which are situated at the ends of its two arms and which will be positioned between the rings of the arms of the vertical support. When the base is turned in the horizontal position, the two hooks which extend from the base from loops towards the arms of the vertical support hook onto the arms of this latter, locking the vertical support with the base and forming therebetween an angle normally of 90.degree.. When the base is subjected to an opposite thrust, it is unlocked and folds. Thus, the present device may be set on its base holding the vertical support fixed and having the two rods joined in a U-shaped form pivoting freely between said two members. The bag is set on this device while having one side supported by the top of the vertical support where the angle of said support passes through the handle of the bag and a part of the wall is wrapped on the rounded sides. The opposite side of the bag is held by the fasteners at the ends of the two pivoting rods. The device may be suspended by its top angle and the base may be unlocked by folding so as to accomodate bags of great heights. On the same shaft several sets of two pivoting rods may be provided on both sides of the vertical support, but they will have the form of an H instead of a U with rings at their lower ends, considering that a shaft already exists. The first two rods on each side of the vertical support will support the bags in conjunction with the angle of the vertical support.
The bags which follow will be supported successively by the hooks of the four rods. The rods may vary in length.
The hooks on the ends of the two pivoting rods act in conjunction with loops, either which precede them or which surround them. The hook serves for piercing the side of the bag and the loop for supporting the pierced margin so as to prevent it from sliding downards. In the case where the hook is external to the loop, it will be provided with a cap for the sake of safety.
The pivoting rods may also be slanted vertically and symmetrically at a point along their arms each forming an angle which will produce a kind of suspension for reducing the tension on the side of the bag when this latter is suspended from the ends of said rods. The rods thus slanted also have the advantage of being able to be used for carrying a permanent decorative or advertising cover without causing the center of gravity of the device to be moved when the bag is filled.
It will be useful to emphasize that the pivoting rods which are made from a resilient material and each of which forms with their shaft an angle for folding them against the sides and opening them out again make it possible for the user to attain a variety of positions on the wall of the bag which will determine the dimensi
