Abstract
A subpanel for a bag stand includes: a first side panel and a second side panel, each of the first side panel and the second side panel including a top end, a bottom end, two side ends, an inner surface, an outer surface, and a thickness defined from the inner surface to the outer surface. The first side panel additionally includes a connection finger, the connection finger connected to a first side end of the two side ends of the first side panel, the connection finger including a clearance portion and a clasp portion. The second side panel is at least indirectly connected to the first side panel and defines a connection recess in a first side end of the two side ends of the second side panel distal from the first side panel, the connection recess including a clearance portion and a lock portion.

A subpanel for a bag stand, the subpanel comprising:
- a first side panel comprising a top end, a bottom end, two side ends, an inner surface, an outer surface, and a thickness defined from the inner surface to the outer surface, the first side panel further comprising a connection finger, the connection finger connected to a first side end of the two side ends of the first side panel, the connection finger comprising a clearance portion and a clasp portion;
- and
- a second side panel at least indirectly connected to the first side panel, the second side panel comprising a top end, a bottom end, two side ends, an inner surface, an outer surface, and a thickness defined from the inner surface to the outer surface, the second side panel defining a connection recess in a first side end of the two side ends of the second side panel distal from the first side panel, the connection recess comprising a clearance portion and a lock portion;
- wherein the clearance portion of the connection recess is sized to receive the clasp portion of the connection finger and wherein the clasp portion of the subpanel is configured to slide downward into the lock portion of a second subpanel that is substantially identical to the first subpanel after the clearance portion of the connection finger passes fully into the clearance portion of the connection recess of the second subpanel.
