A bag support apparatus has a first support member, a first arm slidably received in the first support member so as to be movable between a retracted position and an extended position, a second support member, and a second arm slidably received in the second support member so as to be movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The first arm is linked to the second arm such that a movement of the first support member toward the second support member causes the first and second arms to move toward the retracted position and such that a movement of the first support member away from the second support member causes and first and second arms to move to the extended position. A scissor mechanism is linked to the first and second support members and to the first and second arms.

The bag supporting apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a scissor mechanism linked to said first and second support members and to said first and second arms. 3. The bag supporting apparatus of claim 2, said scissor mechanism comprising: a first scissor element having one end pivotally connected adjacent to a top of said first support member and an opposite end pivotally connected adjacent a lower end of said second arm; anda second scissor element having one end pivotally connected adjacent to a top of said second support member and an opposite end pivotally connected to a lower end of said first arm, said first scissor element pivotally connected to said second scissor element generally at a center thereof. 4. The bag supporting apparatus of claim 1, said first arm having a head formed at an upper end thereof, said second arm having a head formed at an upper end thereof. 5. The bag supporting apparatus of claim 4, each of the heads comprising: a first member extending outwardly at an obtuse angle from one side of the arm; anda second member extending outwardly at an obtuse angle from opposite side of the arm. 6. The bag supporting apparatus of claim 5, further comprising: a third member extending upwardly from an upper end from said first arm, said third member positioned between said first and second members. 7. The bag supporting apparatus of claim 1, each of said first and second support members having a base and a main body extending upwardly from said base, said base having a width greater than a width of said main body. 8. A bag support apparatus comprising: a first support member;a first arm slidably received in said first support member so as to be movable between a retracted position and an extended position;a second support member; anda second arm slidably received in said second support member so as to be movable between a retracted position and an extended position, said first arm being linked to said second arm such that a movement of said first support member toward said second support member causes said first and second arms to move toward the retracted position and such that a movement of said first support member away from said second support member causes said first and second arms to the extended position, each of said first and second support members having at least one clip affixed adjacent to a bottom thereof, the clip suitable for receiving an edge of the bag therein. 9. The bag supporting apparatus of claim 8, the clip comprising: a first clip formed at one side of the support member; anda second clip formed at an opposite sides of the support member, each of said first and second clips having a surface juxtaposed against the side of the support member such that the bag can slide between the surface of the clip and the side of the support member and can be retained by the juxtaposed relation between the surface of the clip and the side of the support member. 10. The bag supporting apparatus of claim 9, each of said first and second clips having an upper edge flaring outwardly from the side of the support member. 11. A bag support apparatus comprising: a first support member;a first arm slidably received in said first support member so as to be movable between a retracted position and an extended position;a second support member; anda second arm slidably received in said second support member so as to be movable between a retracted position and an extended position, said first arm being linked to said second arm such that a movement of said first support member toward said second support member causes said first and second arms to move toward the retracted position and such that a movement of said first support member away from said second support member causes and first and second arms to the extended position, at least one of said first support member and said second support member having a retainer formed on an outer surface thereof, the retainer suitable for receiving a peg of a dishwashing rack therein. 12. The bag supporting apparatus of claim 11, the retainer being a tubular member having an end opening at a bottom of the support member, said end having a diameter that is greatest at said bottom support member. 13.
