ABSTRACT:
A stiffener apparatus, including first and second stiffener body sections, each stiffener section is formed as an open, octagonally shaped structure, and is provided with geometrically shaped channel that facilitate mechanically mating of one section with the other, i.e. a quasi-congruent, multi-planar surface,-snap-ring type construction, that effects a reliable compression of flexible material disposed between the two mating stiffener body sections. The open, octagonally, shaped stiffener sections are especially sized for fitting an opening of a flexible trash bag container. In use, the geometrically shaped mating channels compress the outer edges of the trash bag's opening material between multi-planar surfaces that greatly improves the compression fit in keeping the trash bag opening in an opened state, especially in heavily loaded trash bag conditions. Each one of the stiffener sections, is provided with a scoop-like edge member for channelling material into the trash bag. Additionally, one of the stiffener sections is provided is also provided with a plurality of handles for ease of manipulating, storing and carrying the trash bag with the installed stiffener device.
