BRIEF SUMMARY
DK patent No. 120 275 discloses a support for garbage disposal bags to be mounted in a cupboard and designed as a frame consisting of bars hingedly interconnected at their ends, said support being intended to carry a garbage disposal bag by its open end and after the mounting on the cupboard or on two sections of the cupboard movable relative to each other to occupy, on one hand, an open position in which the bag is kept open and, on the other hand, a closed position in which the bag is kept flattened at its open end.
In a support of this type the bag carrying frame is hexagonal. DE publication No. DE-OS 2 127 436 deals with a garbage disposal bag support with a square bag carrying frame and DE publication No. DE OS 2 910 144 deals with a garbage disposal bag support with a rhomboid frame or with a frame approximately oval in its open position.
It is known that various authorities, e.g. municipal authorities, already make demands for or gradually will make demands for garbage sorting by the individual households. It is obvious that such sorting between bio-decomposable, i.e. compostable material and solid material, resp., such a plastic wrappings, milk cartons, etc., by private persons implies that the individual households dispose of garbage disposal bags or the like, since the sorting is generally effected by throwing the bio-decomposable material into the usual bag under the kitchen table, while throwing the more solid garbage into a bag or possibly a container for that purpose.
The above mentioned prior structures are only intended to carry one garbage disposal bag at a time and therefore cannot comply with the request of sorting garbage in one and the same bag holder in the kitchen.
The object of the invention is to provide a support for garbage disposal bags making it possible for the user to easily sort the garbage in two separate bags suspended on the same support.
In this respect a support for garbage disposal bags the type mentioned above is according to the invention characterized in
that the frame is shaped as a deformable bar-parallelogram comprising four bars,
that the bar-parallelogram includes a central bar which at its ends is articulated with two opposite parallelogram bars and which divides the bar-parallelogram into two, mainly equally large openings for the placing of two garbage disposal bags, and
that the parallelogram-bars and the central bar are shaped so in relation to each other that the paralleogram-bars in the closed position of the frame bear against each other, the bags being flattened between the frame bars.
The advantage of a support so designed consists in that the central bar of the frame makes it possible to suspend two disposal bags, one in each opening of the frame, that the central bar contributes to suitably supporting said bags along four sides, and that the frame, usually mounted on a cupboard door, together with the bags is completely closed or collapsed upon closing the cupboard door. In spite of the presence of the central bar the thickness of the closed or collapsed frame in the horizontal direction away from the frame supporting surface, e.g. the cupboard door, will not exceed the thickness of an ordinary frame without a central bar, e.g. a square frame (cf. DE OS No. 2 127 436) or a hexagonal frame (cf. DK patent No. 120 275).
It is evident that the presence of the central bar in the frame implies a suitable shaping of the frame components and according to an advantageous embodiment the support may further be characterized in that the two opposite bars hingedly connected with the central bar are individually provided with two chamfered faces that are interior in relation to the frame and substantially shaped as a triangle with mainly coincident bottom line at the point of articulation, the triangle vertex facing towards the ends of the bar concerned, and that the central bar has a cross-sectional shape as a triangle, viewed in a vertical, transverse plane, the vertex of which facing the underside of the frame. This respective shaping of the frame bars and cen
