ABSTRACT:
A bag holder and support apparatus and method which provides a simple, inexpensive device to support sandbags and accelerate the filling of the bag with material while in the supported position. The bag holder is designed to move between a collapsible, generally flat, non-use position where it may be stored or shipped quite easily, and an upright, easily assembled use position for use in supporting and filling purposes. The invention includes a method of preparing the bag holder apparatus and filling an open-ended bag with material by providing a bag holder apparatus and placing the apparatus in a upright assembled use position by snapping in one end of the single wire element to the top or bottom peripheral wire element, and then placing an open-ended bag to be filled within the wire elements, and bending the material of the bag against and about the top peripheral wire element to place the open end of the bag in an open supported position to permit filling of the bag material, and then filling the bag with material in such open-ended support position, and optionally then sealing the bag after filling and placing the bag in a desired position. The bag support apparatus may then be placed in the compact, generally flat non-use position by unsnapping the wire element and collapsing the other elements into the generally flat position.
