Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
An arrangement for supporting a sack to receive articles comprising: a. generally triangular shaped frame means with which the open end of a sack may be overlapped; b. handle means engaged with said frame means so that one side of said frame means can be positioned on a surface to enable articles on the surface to be moved into the opened end of the sack; and c. means adjustably carried on said handle means for engaging the overlapped sack end to retain the sack in position on said frame means, said means adjustably carried on said handle including 1. a member slideably positioned on said handle means; 2. projection means extending from said member including a segment extending longitudinally of said handle means; and 3. a friction surface means on said projection means with which the overlapped sack end may be engaged to aid in retaining the sack in open position on said frame means.
