Abstract
Abstract A bag support stand in combination with a bag holder having a pair of arms is disposed to engage and retain a grouping of selfopening plastic bags on these arms. The bags in their folder condition are slidably retained on the arms of the holder through apertures formed in the sides and panels of the bags. In their folded condition, the bags hang so that their lowermost portion is further down from the arms than is the plane of the bottom of the bag in its open condition. The stand has a platform spaced a determined distance from the back support of the holder and the platform is spaced a determined distance from the rods so as to engage and support the bottom of the bag as it is filled with groceries and the like.

A bag support stand for use with a bag holder having a pair of arms disposed to engage and retain by a pair of apertured openings formed in their wall portions a grouping of self-opening bags on said arms, the bags in their folded condition being slidably retained on the arms of said holder so that in this folded condition the lowermost portion of the bags hang further from the arms than the plane of the bottom of the bag in its open condition as it hangs from the same arms of the holder, said support stand including: (a) a base; (b) a back member extending upwardly from the base and disposed to receive and retain a pair of arms at a determined distance above said base, and (c) a platform surface of determined length and width and disposed above said base and forwardly of the back member so as to provide a channel within which the lowermost portion of a folded group of bags is retained in a suspended condition when hung from the arms of the bag holder, the platform surface being positioned from said arms so as to provide a support surface contiguous with the bottom of a bag when said bag is in an opened condition and is positioned and carried on the arms of the holder so that the bag bottom is forwardly of the channel and above the platform surface.
