Abstract: The present invention is a portable spring-loaded bag holder, workable with a single hand, that securely holds open the mouth of a lawn bag. Parallel handles are gripped and squeezed together in one hand. When the handles are squeezed together, a spring is compressed and a small section of frame is repositioned near a large frame loop. While the holder is held with one hand, the loop is placed within the mouth of a lawn bag, and the top of the mouth of the bag is placed over the small frame with the other hand. Releasing either the inner handle or the outer handle allows the spring to move the inner handle away from the outer handle and to move the small frame away from the large frame loop, thereby tensioning the mouth of the bag around the large loop and the small frame.

Abstract: An adjustable footstrap for sailboards which includes a combination of end pieces made from a mold and constructed of a flexible rubber material. The flexible rubber material gives the footstrap a firm arch curve from end to end. The flexible rubber material also allows the footstrap to retain its shape for a long period of time. The end pieces are connected by a strap. The strap is secured in its desired position by positioning Velcro along the surfaces of the mating sections. For providing user comfort, a cover is positioned over surfaces of the footstrap that come into contact with a user's foot.
