S-shaped flanges that retain a laundry bag open in a drawer

A device suited to retain a laundry bag open in a drawer in combination with a furniture drawer having a sidewall, comprising:

• at least one flange having a straight end segment, an inclined end segment and a central segment between, the central segment having at least two straight potions and two arc portions, one of the straight portions and one of the arc portions being contiguous with each other, another of the straight portions and another of the arc portions being contiguous with each other, the two straight portions being parallel to each other, the straight end segment being contiguous with and extending outward from one of the straight portions to define a straight angle between,
• wherein the inclined end segment is contiguous with and extends outward in an inclined manner from a further of the straight portions to define an acute angle between, the sidewall having a recess with an inclined surface to which is secured the inclined end segment, the sidewall having an edge to which is secured the straight end segment at a location away from the recess.

A method of retaining a laundry bag open in a drawer, comprising:

• securing an inclined end segment of at least one flange to an inclined surface in a recess of a sidewall of a furniture drawer;
• securing a straight end segment of the at least one flange to an edge of the sidewall at a location away from the recess,
• wherein the at least one flange also has a central segment between the inclined end segment and the straight end segment, the central segment having at least two straight potions and two arc portions, one of the straight portions and one of the arc portions being contiguous with each other, another of the straight portions and another of the arc portions being contiguous contour defined by a respective surface that terminates at the respective formation, and selecting the respective formation from a group consisting of an aperture and a contour of a fastener.
