A free-standing, one-piece bag holder made up of a resilient rolled metal. The base of the bag holder consists of two parallel base members of the rolled metal. A crossbar that is perpendicular to the base members is fixedly attached at the ends thereof to the respective base members at points on the base members which are midway between the ends of the base members. Portions of the base members extend upwardly at an angle from the opposite ends of the base members towards the mid-portions of the base members. Four legs respectively extend upwardly at right angles relative to the portions of the base members so that the sides of the bag holder diverge outwardly from one another when the bag holder is in a bag removed condition. When the bag holder is in a bag holding condition the bag pulls the sides of the bag holder inwardly which moves the portions of the base members towards a substantially straight disposition which substantially flattens the bottom of the base of the bag holder to stabilize the bag holder. The combined spring action of the legs and the portions of the base members holds a bag taut and secure when stretched over lips of the bag holder.

[ I claim:] [1.] A bag holder placeable in a bag holding condition in which a bag is being held by the bag holder and a bag removed condition in which no bag is being held by the bag holder, said bag holder comprising:(a) a base including a resilient first base member having opposite ends and a resilient second base member having opposite ends, said first and second base members being spaced apart in substantially parallel relationship;(b) a crossbar member joining said first base member and said second base member midway and perpendicular between said first base member and said second base member;(c) four resilient legs fixedly attached to said base and upwardly extending therefrom, two of said legs being respectively attached to one of the ends of said first base member and to one of the ends of said second base member to provide a first side of the bag holder, and the other two of said legs being respectively attached to the other of the ends of said first base member and to the other of the ends of said second base member to provide a second side of the bag holder;(d) said first base member and said second base member being slightly bent upward at the respective junctures of said crossbar member and said first base member and said second base member; rein when said bag holder is in the bag removed condition said first and second sides of said bag holder diverge upwardly and outwardly away from one another with the upper ends of said first and second sides being spaced apart wider than the mouth of the bag to be held by the bag holder whereby when said bag holder is placed in said bag holding condition with the bag on said bag holder said first and second sides of said bag holder are held inwardly towards one another in a substantially vertical position by the bag and said first and second base members are moved by said first, second, third and fourth leg members towards a straightened horizontal position.
