    Abstract: A frame for holding flexible bags to be opened and filled comprising bendable rods in continuous side frame formations. These side frame formations in one embodiment may be Z-shaped and are spaced with respect to each other and joined together by a telescopic rod at their respective lower foot extremities formed with aligned toed-in or inboard continuations of the foot extremities. The side frame formations at their respective upper top portions are each made with special forwardly extending arms provided with bag storage and holding formations. The bags to be supported on the arms include resilient and flexible material with stiffened portions in the form of an integral zipper around the opposed lip edges of the bag mouth. The relatively thicker lip edges are formed with spaced corner openings to mate with the free ends of the forwardly extending arms of the side frames of the bag support.
