A circular hoop, through which the upper mouth end portion of a trash bag may be extended upwardly and then inverted annularly outward and downward over the hoop, is provided with three legs at 120°intervals. The legs are pivotally secured to the hoop for movement between an upper horizontal storage position in which they extend along and conform to the outside surface of the hoop and a vertical supporting position in which they curve vertically downward and inward from their pivotal connections to support the hoop horizontally at a given elevation for vertical loading purposes, the legs being reversible to curve outwardly wherein they cooperate with the hoop to hold the hoop slantwise for horizontal loading purposes.

A multi-legged trash bag hoop comprising: A. an endless circular hoop through which the upper mouth end portion of a trash bag may be extended upwardly and then inverted annularly outward and downward over the hoop. 1. said hoop having alternate positions including a substantially horizontal position for vertical-loading purposes and an inclined position for horizontal-loading purposes; B. at least three curved legs for supporting the hoop; and C. means for securing said curved legs to the hoop to extend downwardly and curve inwardly from their securements to support the hoop in said horizontal position for vertical loading purposes, the lower ends of said inwardly-curving legs being spaced a substantial distance inward from the intersection of the horizontal plane of the bottom of said legs with a downward geometric projection of the hoop, said securing means being operative 1. to secure said curved legs pivotally for movement to a storage position wherein they lie adjacent the hoop and conform to the curvature of its periphery, and 2. to secure at least two legs detachably so that they may be detached, reversed and resecured to extend downwardly and curve outwardly in position to cooperate with an intermediate portion of the hoop to hold the hoop in said inclined position.
