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.

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.

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 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.

The present invention relates to a portable trash bag holder device primarily comprised of a bracket that is further comprised of a top surface, a bottom surface, a rear surface, at least one pair of side surfaces, and a front surface. In addition, the device is comprised of an outer ring and an inner ring. A trash bag or other bag of the like can be placed within the outer ring, wherein the inner ring can then be placed within the outer ring to secure the bag between both rings and suspend the bag from the device in an opened position. The bracket can further be secured to an object via a strap with a ratchet assembly or by the use of at least one fastener. Therefore, the device can be positioned and used in a plurality of locations and does not require an even ground surface.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling electrically-powered trash receptacles and monitoring fullness levels. The system can include a storage enclosure and a bin contained inside the storage enclosure, the bin configured to receive and store items deposited in the storage enclosure, wherein an inside portion of the bin is at least partially covered by a bag placed inside the bin to hold the items deposited in the storage enclosure. The system can also include a sensor configured to sense a content fullness state of the bin and a processor configured to control operations performed by the sensor. In addition, the system can include a sleeve configured to be installed over an inside portion of the bin and the bag, the sleeve at least partially restricting a movement of the bag.

A foldable support sleeve that is deployable inside of a waste bag to support the waste bag includes a first side foldably connected to a second side, the second side foldably connected to a third side, the third side foldably connected to a fourth side, and the fourth side foldably connected to a fifth side. The foldable support sleeve may be foldable into a pre-deployed state and into a deployed state. The pre-deployed state may be associated with a first cross section that is smaller than a second cross section associated with the deployed state. The second cross section may be approximately equal to a cross section associated with the waste bag. The fifth side may help retain the foldable support sleeve in the deployed state.

Disclosed is a bagging clip that couples to a bag holder hook of a shopping bag bagging station. The bagging clip helps to keep shopping bags hung from the bag holder hook in place as one of the shopping bags is opened, filled and removed. The bagging clip includes a plate with at least one slot in the plate. The slot is a cutout in the plate extending from a front surface to a back surface of the plate. The slot is configured to couple with a rail of the bag holder hook of the bag holder, in order to couple the bagging clip to the bag holder hook. Once the bagging clip is coupled to the bag holder hook, shopping bags hung from the bag holder hook will stay in place as individual shopping bags are filled and removed from the bag holder hook.

Waste container includes a base defining a waste-receiving compartment, and an insert supported on the base and adapted to engage a peripheral edge of a bag that extends into the compartment while maintaining an opening of the bag unobstructed. The insert has at least one bag-engagement edge. A movable closure component has a first engagement position in which the closure component engages with the insert to press the bag when present against the bag-engagement edge(s) of the insert, and a second non-engagement position in which the closure component is separated from the bag-engagement edge(s) of the insert. A lid is attached to the base and movable between a first, closed position covering the opening of the bag and a second, open position in which it does not obstruct the opening of the bag.
