A support frame for a flexible plastic bag which can support the bag in an open-mouthed manner both upright and sideways, the frame having a pair of legs and pivoting leg/handle, the frame being polygonal and composed of a base member, a pair of end members connected perpendicularly to the base member, a pair of angle members connected at an angle less than 90 degrees to the end members, and a top member connected to the angle members, where the top member is less than half the length of the base member to define a pair of corners which act as tensioning members against the lip of the bag when the leg/handle is pivoted to a position parallel to the frame to prevent the bag from being forced off the frame.

[ I claim:] [1.] A support frame device for a thin-walled, flexible plastic bag, the device comprising:a polygonal frame comprising a base member, two end members perpendicularly connected to said base member to define two right angle corners, an angle member connected to each end member at an angle

[ I claim:] [1.] A support frame device for a thin-walled, flexible plastic bag, the device comprising:a polygonal frame comprising a base member, two end members perpendicularly connected to said base member to define two right angle corners, an angle member connected to each end member at an angle less than 90 degrees to define two additional corners, and a top member connected to both angle members to define two more corners, where said top member is parallel to said base member and is less than half the length of said base member, the combination of said base member, said end members, said angle members and said top member defining a polygonal opening to receive a thin-walled, flexible plastic bag having a lip, where the lip of said bag is stretched across said frame to maintain the bag in an open-mouthed position;two leg members connected to said base member perpendicularly to said frame;a leg/handle member pivotally connected to said top member, where said leg/handle member can be positioned parallel to said leg members to support the bag in an upright position or perpendicular to said leg members to be grasped by a user to control the device in a sideways position.
