Abstract
A collapsible bag holding frame assembly for holding a trash bag includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame defines an opening. The second frame is attached to the first frame so that a first piece of the second frame is substantially perpendicular to the first frame. A second piece of the second frame extends from proximate to an upper end of the first piece and opposingly to the first frame. The second piece and the first piece define a notch into which an element of a structure is insertable to removably attached to the structure. The first frame is positioned above a surface from which the structure extends. A bag is insertable in the opening so that an upper segment of the bag is stretchable around and attachable to the first frame.

A collapsible bag holding frame assembly comprising:
- a first frame defining an opening;
- a second frame attached to the first frame, such that a first piece of the second frame is substantially perpendicular to the first frame, a second piece of the second frame extending from proximate to an upper end of the first piece and opposingly to the first frame, such that the second piece and the first piece define a notch, wherein the notch is configured for insertion of an element of a structure, such that the second frame is removably attached to the structure and such that the first frame is positioned above a surface from which the structure extends, wherein the opening is configured for insertion of a bag, such that an upper segment of the bag is stretchable around and attachable to the first frame;
- wherein the first piece of the second frame comprises:
- a first pipe,
- a pair of second pipes, each second pipe extending substantially perpendicularly from the first pipe proximate to a respective opposed end of the first pipe, and
- a pair of third pipes, each third pipe extending substantially perpendicularly from a respective second pipe distal from the first pipe, such that the third pipes extend codirectionally from the pair of second pipes and substantially perpendicularly to the first pipe;
- and
- wherein the second piece of the second frame comprises:
- a pair fourth pipes, each fourth pipe being attached to and extending linearly from a respective third pipe,
- a pair of fifth pipes, each fifth pipe being attached to and extending arcuately from a respective fourth pipe distal from an associated third pipe and toward an associate second pipe, and
- a sixth pipe attached to and extending between the fifth pipes distal from the fourth pipes, such that the sixth pipe is positioned substantially parallel to the first pipe, such that the sixth pipe and the pair of second pipes define the notch, wherein the sixth pipe and the pair of second pipes are configured for abutting opposed faces of the element of the structure, such that the second frame is removably attached to the structure.
A collapsible bag holding frame assembly comprising
- a first frame defining an opening, the opening being rectangular,
- a pair of first connectors attached to the first frame;
- a second frame attached to the first frame, such that a first piece of the second frame is substantially perpendicular to the first frame, a second piece of the second frame extending from proximate to an upper end of the first piece and opposingly to the first frame, such that the second piece and the first piece define a notch, wherein the notch is configured for insertion of an element of a structure, such that the second frame is removably attached to the structure and such that the first frame is positioned abed e a surface from which the structure extends, wherein the opening is configured for insertion of a bag, such that an upper segment of the bag is stretchable around and attachable to the first frame, the second piece being slidably engaged to and selectively detachable from the first piece, such that a width of the notch is selectively adjustable and such that the second piece is separable from the first piece;
- the first piece of the second frame comprising:
- a first pipe, a pair of second pipes, each second pipe extending substantially perpendicularly from the first pipe proximate to a respective opposed end of the first pipe,
- a pair of third pipes, each third pipe extending substantially perpendicularly from a respective second pipe distal from the first pipe, such that the third pipes extend codirectionally from the pair of second pipes and substantially perpendicularly to the first pipe,
- a pair of second connectors, each second connector being attached to a respective second pipe proximate to the first pipe, such that the second connectors are opposingly positioned on the second pipes relative to the third pipes, the second connectors being complementary to the first connectors, such that each second connector is positioned for selectively connecting with an associated first connector for removably attaching the first frame to the second frame, the second connector comprising a T-connector, the associated first connector comprising a pipe stub complementary to and selectively insertable into an upper orifice of the T-connector, such that the first frame is selectively detachable from the second frame, and
- a cross pipe attached to and extending between the T-connectors;
- the second piece of the second frame comprising:
- a pair fourth pipes, each fourth pipe being attached to and extending linearly from a respective third pipe, the fourth pipe being nested with and slidable relative to the respective third pipe for adjusting the width of the notch and selectively separating the second piece from the first piece,
- a pair of fifth pipes, each fifth pipe being attached to and extending arcuately from a respective fourth pipe distal from an associated third pipe and toward an associate second pipe, and
- a sixth pipe attached to and extending between the fifth pipes distal from the fourth pipes, such that the sixth pipe is positioned substantially parallel to the first pipe, such that the sixth pipe and the pair of second pipes define the notch, wherein the sixth pipe and the pair of second pipes are configured for abutting opposed faces of the element of the structure, such that the second frame is removably attached to the structure;
- and
- a plurality of pads attached to the second frame, wherein the pads are configured for protecting a top face and the opposed faces of the element of the structure, the pads comprising foamed elastomer.
