ABSTRACT:
A bag holder support system for disposable, loop handled plastic bags provides dual position mounting so that the system can be easily installed in one position to fit in restricted areas and installed in a different position to provide a maximum opening for the bag when installed in an unrestricted area. The support system includes a pair of brackets that hold the plastic bag open by its oppositely disposed integral handle loops so that the bag may be loaded. The brackets are made of a closed wire loop that forms a planar arm having an upwardly extending U-shaped lug in the center of a horizontally extending member for engaging one of said handle loops. Means are provided for mounting each arm to a vertical surface by a vertical side of the arm that the arm extends in a horizontal direction and lies in a vertical plane. An arm positioning ear formed by the wire loop extends out of the plane of said arm at a non-perpendicular angle so that the arms converge or diverge as they extend away from the vertical surface. This dual position mounting provides a simple bag support system that is equally suited and readily installed on a cabinet door under a sink or on an open wall area. The system can also include a flat support panel that pivotally supports the arms. The support panel spaces the arms apart and can be mounted to a vertical surface in a first position so that the arms converge as they extend away from the vertical surface and in a second position so that they diverge as they extend away from the vertical surface.
