A support is provided for supporting a container, such as a plastic trashbag, which is generally incapable of supporting itself in an open, upright position. The support is formed from a unitary, sheet-like blank, which is scored in at least five places to form a series of at least five axially-extending, generally parallel fold lines. The at least five fold lines define at least six panels, including a first panel, a last panel, and at least four intermediate panels. Each of the panels include a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge portion, a second side edge portion, an interior surface, and an exterior surface. The at least six panels are hingedly connected along the at least five fold lines to place the at least six panels in a side-by-side relation. Staples are provided for securing the first side edge portion of the first side panel to the second side edge portion of the last panel. The panels and securing means are configured to permit the support to move between a storage position wherein the interior surfaces of each of the panels are disposed in generally parallel planes, and a use position wherein the panels form a generally endless, hollow tube having an open bottom and top, and being capable of supporting itself in an upright position. Also when in the use position, the support has an interior defined by the interior surfaces of the panels for receiving the container.

A device for supporting a container, such as as a plastic trash bag, which is generally incapable of supporting itself in an open, upright position, comprising an endless cardboard support having a plurality of panels including a first panel, a last panel, and four intermediate panels including first, second, third, and fourth intermediate panels, each of the panels including a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge portion, a second side edge portion, an interior surface, and an exterior surface, securing means for fixedly securing the first side edge portion of the first panel to the second side edge portion of the last panel, and hinge means for hingedly connecting the four intermediate panels to each other along the side edge portions of the four intermediate panels, and for hingedly connecting the hingedly connected intermediate panels to the first panel and last panel along the side edge portions thereof. wherein when the first panel, four intermediate panels, and the last panel are hingedly connected, the support can be moved between a storage position wherein (a) the interior surface of each of the first panel, four intermediate panels, and last panels are disposed in generally parallel planes, (b) the exterior surface of the first panel and the first intermediate panel, and the exterior surfaces of the third and fourth intermediate panels are disposed in an opposed adjacent relation, and (c) the interior surfaces of the first panel and third intermediate panel, the interior surfaces of the first intermediate panel and second intermediate panel, and the interior surfaces of the first panel and the fourth intermediate panels are disposed in an opposed adjacent relation, and a use position wherein the panels form a generally endless tube capable of supporting itself in an upright position, and having an interior defined by the interior surfaces of the first panel, four intermediate panels, and last panel for receiving the container.
