An embodiment provides a portable bag mouth opening device, the device including: an outer portion including a continuous side portion defining an interior opening; and an inner portion including a continuous side portion and defining an interior opening, the inner portion fitting within the outer portion to form the portable bag mouth opening device, wherein the outer portion and inner portion fit together to hold a bag material between the outer portion and the inner portion. Other aspects are claimed and described.

Examples provide a universal bag holder for storing multiple different types of bags on a single bag holder device. The bag holder includes a bag receptacle for holding folded paper bags or folded reusable bags, such as cloth bags. An access window in one side of the receptacle enables a user to retrieve items which may fall into the receptacle. The bag holder also includes a bag support rack having a set of bag support arms for supporting plastic bags or reusable bags on the arms. The loops on the plastic or reusable bags are placed over the bag support arms. A paper bag that has been unfolded can also be supported between the bag support arms. A label holder permits placement of price tags or other information labels for the bags. The bag holder can be attached to pre-existing bagging area fixtures for ease of use.

The stand is constructed to free up a person's hands to fill a piping bag for decorating food. It is secured to a working space with the four rubber suction cups attached to the bottom of each leg of the stand. A food grade piping bag is placed down inside the top circle and folded over the circle and secured in place with the four alligator clips located at the top of the stand. This secures the bag and holds it open to be filled with any variety of food for decorating. When the decorating has been completed, the bag can be unclipped and removed from the stainless-steel stand, which can be easily cleaned by removing the drip plate resting on the bottom circle of the stand and the entire stand can be washed by hand or placed inside a dishwasher.

One example of a nestable-stackable wider-based disposable container is composed of a plastic-coated paper frustoconical tube having its wider end edge connected continuously to the mouth of a plastic bag whose capacity is larger than the tube size. For storage, let the wide end of one container to receive the narrow end of another container. The plastic bag of the former is forced to push up inwardly and to cleave tightly to the paper side wall, allowing the later to be compactly nested into the former. For usage, one stands a container on its non-tipping wider end, places items in via its upper narrower opening, discards it as a whole unit when done. Other examples are described and shown.

A collecting tool (1) includes a frame body (11) that is disposed so as to surround an opening end portion of a bag (100) storing waste (D1) inside, and on which a folded portion (100a) of the opening end portion of the bag (100) is hooked in a state where the opening end portion of the bag (100) is folded back outward, three wires (13), a clip (12) that is provided at one end portion of each of the three wires (13) in a longitudinal direction and clamps the frame body (11) and the opening end portion of the bag (100) together in a state where the folded portion (100a) of the bag (100) is hooked on the frame body (11), and a fixing portion (14) that supports the other end portions of each of the three wires (13) together and is fixed to a construction material.

An apparatus for supporting a bag, particularly a heavy-duty bag, in an open-position on a support-surface. The apparatus includes a support-frame, a frame-backing, at least one fastener, and in some embodiments, at least one clip. The apparatus may be mounted to any support-surface. The apparatus is particularly useful for supporting a heavy-duty bag on any surface in a warehouse.

A bag hanger has a main bracket body with a first leg configured for mounting the main bracket body on a support and a second leg extending from the first leg that is configured for hanging a bag. The second leg includes an open-ended slot that is accessible at a distal end of the second leg, the open-ended slot being sized to receive at least one hangable portion of the bag.

A foldable stand includes four panels attached flexibly at lateral edges such that the panels can be folded in a closed configuration flat upon each other or folded into an open configuration to form a self-supporting free-standing stand.

A compactly transportable collapsible frame for supporting a soft bag accommodating perishable goods comprises: (a) a rectangular carrying sub-frame; (b) at least two supporting members releasably connectable to said rectangular carrying sub-frame. The rectangular carrying sub-frame comprises four successively connected to each other Γ-like shaped members. Each Γ-like shaped member comprises a main elongate portion having a longitudinal axis and first and second terminal connectors oriented is along and perpendicularly to the axis, respectively
