A stand that holds a leaf bag in an upright configuration and maintains it in an open configuration. The stand includes a fixed diameter outer ring member and a variable diameter inner ring member that cooperate with one another to hold the leaf bag in an upright position when being filled with leaves and to hold the mouth of the bag open as well. A bag to be held is positioned so that its upper peripheral rim or mouth is encircled by the outer ring; the upper portion of the bag is then flared or folded radially outwardly so that it overlies the outer ring. The inner ring is then placed inside the mouth of the bag and the diameter of the inner ring is increased until a tight sandwiching relation is achieved between the outer and inner rings, with the upper portion of the bag positioned therebetween. The outer ring is supported by and extends horizontally from an upstanding base member that is maintained in its upstanding position by a horizontal bar at its lowermost end and a leg member that extends from the base member to the support surface in the same direction the outer ring extends from the base member.

A device that holds a leaf bag in an upright configuration and that holds the mouth of the leaf bag in an open configuration at the same time, comprising: an upstanding base member; stabilizing means for maintaining said base member in its upstanding configuration; a fixed diameter ring member extending in cantilevered relation to said base member; a variable diameter inner ring member comprising a flexible, hollow tubular member of linear configuration formed into a circular configuration; adjustment means for varying the diameter of said variable diameter ring member; said adjustment means being a flexible tubular member of generally linear configuration the opposite ends of which are slideably received within opposite ends of said inner ring member to effect adjustment of the diameter of said inner ring member; and a flexible bag member having its upper peripheral edge positioned in sandwiched relation to said inner and outer ring members.
