Collapsible bag holder

A bag holder kit for use with a flexible bag, comprising:

• a plurality of generally planar flexible lower segments, each lower segment having a lower aperture formed in each end thereof and the plurality of lower segments having strut apertures formed therein extending through the thickness of the lower segments, the lower segments being adapted to be attached together in end to end relation to form a lower support member;
• a plurality of generally planar flexible upper segments, each upper segment having an upper aperture formed in each end thereof and the plurality of upper segments having strut apertures formed therein extending through the thickness of the upper segments, the upper segments being adapted to be attached together in end to end relation to form an upper support member;
• a plurality of resiliently flexible struts each having a top end portion, a bottom end portion and side portions, the top end portion having a strut aperture formed therein and the bottom end portion having a strut aperture formed therein;
• a plurality of lower studs dimensioned to fit snugly into said lower apertures;
• a plurality of upper studs dimensioned to fit snugly into said upper strut apertures;
• a plurality of strut studs dimensioned to fit into said strut apertures so that the longitudinal axis of each strut stud extends radially to the assembled lower and upper segments and allows for pivoting in a plane tangential to each of the upper support members and lower support members;
• and
• wherein the bag holder when assembled has an operative position where the upper support member is vertically spaced from the lower support member and a collapsed position where the lower support member, the upper support member and the plurality of struts are generally in the same plane and the bag holder is moved from the operative position to the stored position by twisting the upper support member relative to the lower support member and pushing the upper support member and the lower support member into the same plane.
