ABSTRACT:
A hollow frame, of the general shape of the letter D, has a straight side adapted to rest on a horizontal supporting surface such as the ground or a floor, this straight side having sufficient dimensions to provide stability to hold the rest of the frame in an upright position in a vertical plane. A plastic trash bag has its open end inserted through the hollow frame and its margins folded back over the outer surfaces of the frame, so that the frame holds the mouth of the bag open, in position to receive trash inserted by an approximately horizontal motion. As the bag becomes more full, the frame may be lifted off the supporting surface, using convenient hand holes provided in the frame, and the partially filled bag may be placed upright, in which position the frame remains at the top of the bag and continues to hold the mouth of the bag open to receive more input. The bagging kit of the invention consists of this frame plus a sheet metal piece folded sharply to provide a main flange and a smaller inclined ramp flange which may be placed at the entrance of the bag when the frame is lying on the ground, so that dirt may be swept up the inclined ramp and into the bag, without being caught and stopped by the vertical edge or shoulder formed by the thickness of the wall forming the frame. The sheet metal piece may also be used as a dustpan, and as a scraper.
