A container support for supporting a plastic bag having straps is formed by two plastic elongate arm members each having slots for receiving the straps. The elongate arm members are attached to a supporting surface such as a wall or the back surface of a cabinet door by using screws or the like. The arm members are formed with cavities for storing the screws such as during shipping. The arm members are formed by vertical and horizontal reinforcing ribs which are sandwiched by solid flat plastic faces. The slots have a tapering shape with bottom portions that are wider than the adjoining portion of the slot, so that the bag straps are prevented from working out of the slots. At an end of the arm members remote from the supporting surface, apertures are formed for supporting a dowel or rod or the like to support a dish towel or the like. The arm members are also adapted for receiving a plastic shelf member having legs which fit into the slots, instead of the straps of the bag.

A container support for supporting a bag having straps against the downward force of gravity, said container support comprising first and second unconnected elongated rigid arm members each containing means for horizontally mounting said first and second arm members to a vertical supporting surface

A container support for supporting a bag having straps against the downward force of gravity, said container support comprising first and second unconnected elongated rigid arm members each containing means for horizontally mounting said first and second arm members to a vertical supporting surface with said arm members extending in a lengthwise direction substantially perpendicular to said supporting surface, said first and second arm members forming a transversely extending space therebetween; each of said arm members having a substantially flat and continuous lower surface; wherein each of said first and second arm members has, at opposite longitudinal ends thereof, two generally downwardly extending slots formed in an upper surface of each arm member for receiving said straps of said bag, each of said slots being formed with a bottom portion means, which is wider in said lengthwise direction than a portion of said slots that is immediately upwardly adjacent to said bottom portion, for positively preventing said straps from working out of said slots and for positively preventing upward movement of a mechanical element which is transversely inserted into both of said slots of both of said arm members and which is complementary in shape to that of said slots; and wherein the bottom portion means of the slots in each arm member lie in a common plane which is parallel to the longitudinal dimension of the arm member so that the bottom portions of both arm members lie in a common horizontal plane when the arm members are horizontally mounted on a vertical supporting surface; said container support further comprising a removable shelf member having leg means, with a shape complementary to that of said slots and bottom portion means in each of said arm members, for securely supporting said shelf member in and on said arm members in such a manner that, after said leg means are transversely inserted into said slots, said shelf member is locked against upward movement thereof.
