Abstract: A retractable handrail for use with a recreational vehicle comprising a handrail having a hand contacting surface on a top side thereof and a support body extending downward from the hand contacting surface. The support body includes a pivotal end and pivotal attachment structure which defines a rotational axis orthogonal with respect to the plane of rotation of the handrail. The handrail further includes first and second stops formed at the pivotal end for defining respective retracted and extended positions of the handrail. These respective stops are located on the support body on respective separate radii having a common length and origin extending from the rotational axis. A support base is provided having a mounting flange with a planer surface positioned parallel with the planer rotation of the handrail.

Abstract: A support and retention device for attachment to a top perimeter of a plastic trash bag at its opening and useful for positioning the bag at the bumper of a recreational vehicle or in similar applications. The device comprises a pair of U-shaped support members which are rotationally attached at distal ends thereof to form a continuous perimeter configuration which is capable of being closed to a U-shaped configuration. A pair of elongated gripping members corresponding in configuration to horizontal elements of the support members are movably coupled together by coupling structure which enables selection of (i) an open position wherein the gripping member is slightly displaced away from the support member to permit insertion of a portion of the top perimeter of a trash bag therebetween, and (ii) a closed position wherein the bag top perimeter is caught between the gripping member and support member in fixed position.
