Apparatus for the engagement and suspension of a bag above the ground for the suspendable storage of items within the bag

An apparatus for the suspension of a bag from a support structure for suspendable storage of items held within the bag, the bag having a rim defining an opening of the bag, the apparatus comprising:

• a support frame having a top surface with an inner perimeter defined by a first aperture formed in the top surface, the rim of the bag being attached about the support frame in a plurality of locations to maintain the bag in an open position;
• a plurality of hook-like engagement members for engaging and supporting both the rim of the bag and the support frame from underneath the support frame, the engagement members securing the rim of the bag to the support frame by the gravitational force exerted by the support frame on the engagement members;
• and
• a plurality of suspension arms having first and second ends for attachment of the suspension arms between the engagement members and the support structure such that the support frame hangs from the suspension arms at the points of engagement with the engagement members.

An apparatus for the suspension of a bag from a support structure for suspendable storage of items held within the bag, the bag having a rim defining an opening of the bag, the apparatus comprising:

• a support frame having a plurality of sides defining a plurality of corners formed by adjoining sides of the support frame and a top surface with an inner perimeter defined by a first aperture formed in the top surface, the rim of the bag being attached about the support frame in a plurality of locations to maintain the bag in an open position;
• a cover frame disposed on top of the support frame having a planar surface for covering the first aperture of the support frame and a second aperture formed in the planar surface for passage of the items into the bag;
• a lid disposed on top of the cover frame for covering and closing the second aperture of the cover frame;
• a plurality of engagement members for corresponding engagement with the corners of the support frame, each engagement member having two upturned ends for attachment to different adjoining sides of a corner such that the each corner is supported by an engagement member;
• and
• a plurality of suspension arms having first and second ends for attachment of the suspension arms between the engagement members and the support structure.

An apparatus for the suspension of a bag from a support structure for suspendable storage of items held within the bag, the bag having a rim defining an opening of the bag, the apparatus comprising:

• a support frame having a plurality of sides defining a plurality of corners and a top surface with an inner perimeter defined by a first aperture formed in the top surface, the rim of the bag inserted through the first aperture and overlapping the sides of the cover frame such that the bag is received about the inner perimeter and opens through the first aperture;
• a cover frame having a planar surface with a second aperture formed in the planar surface for passage of the items into the bag, the cover frame disposed on top of the support frame with the rim of the bag interposed between the support frame and the cover frame;
• a lid disposed on top of the cover frame for covering the second aperture of the cover frame;
• a plurality of engagement hooks for engagement with the corners of the support frame, each engagement hook having a central curvilinear portion formed within a plane and two upturned ends extending outward on one side of the plane, each upturned end of each engagement hook engaging a different side of the support frame including the overlapping rim of the bag such that the corners of the support frame protrude through the plane defined by the central curvilinear portion;
• and
• a plurality of suspension arms having first and second ends for attachment of the suspension arms between the engagement members and the support structure.
