Mounting structure for retaining a mesh laundry bag open

A device suited to retain a mesh bag in an open condition, comprising retaining means for retaining open a mouth of a laundry bag having a mesh material, the retaining means including a mounting structure that includes angle brackets each having two legs of different lengths and a bend between;

• wherein the angle brackets are secured to respective ones of opposite sidewalls spaced apart from each other, the angle brackets each having two legs of different lengths and a bend between, one of the two legs being secured to an associated one of the opposite sidewalls and a remaining one of the two legs protruding beyond an edge of the associated one of the opposite sidewalls,
• wherein placement of the mouth of the laundry bag around the remaining one of the two legs of each of the angle brackets results in the mouth of the laundry bag being in an open condition, and
• wherein a weight force of laundry within confines of the laundry bag causes the laundry bag to exert a commensurate in magnitude pulling force on the mouth, which in turn causes the mouth to press against the angle brackets, resulting in the mouth being retained in the open condition.
