ABSTRACT:
A rack which may be used for holding conventional paper grocery bags with foldable sidewalls or plastic bags having an open mouth and integral upwardly extendable handle loops located on opposite sides of the mouth, in an upright, open, supported position, the rack including a skeletal frame which has a pair of spaced side members, a back member, a bottom support member, and at least one front member where the members form a confinement boundary for the bag. The rack also includes an engagement rail at the top of each side member, where each engagement rail includes two inverted U-shaped portions which each have an outer arm, the two outer arms on each of the two side members for securely retaining one of the plastic bag handle loops so that the two pairs of outer arms on both side members support the suspended plastic bag and hold the mouth of the bag open. The engagement rail also includes a tab which is disposed substantially between the inverted U-shaped portions, the two tabs each being releasably engagable with a sidewall of a paper bag so that the tabs on both side members hold the paper bag open.
