Bag dispenser and holder

Claim 1

A bag dispenser and support holder comprising a brace member having a pair of deformable, resilient, outwardly extending spaced-apart support members, said support member comprising inner segments for supporting a plurality of bags proximal the brace member through a pair of spaced-apart holes in the mouth of the bags, and curved opposed outer segments which are aligned in a common plane to define a substantial, open hoop-type configuration; said brace member having at least one outwardly extending hook-wicket intermediate said extending pair of support members adapted for further supporting the plurality of bags through holes in said bags intermediate the pair of spaced-apart holes; and said support members being operable such that when a bag is advanced from the inner segments it will apply a sufficient force to slightly collapse the curved segments so as to accommodate the spacings of the support holes in the mouth of the bag and once the bag is fully advanced on the curved segments and supported on the at least one hook-wicket, said curved segments will exert an outwardly applied tensive force on the mouth of the bag sufficient to maintain the mouth of the bag in an open position.
