Abstract: A bedspread holder utilizing a series of U-shaped members to support a bedspread off of the ends of a bed with an actuation handle connected to a support leg. The support leg can be rotated from a storage position substantially in the same plane as the U-shaped support member to a use position substantially perpendicular to such support member plane.

Abstract: A foldable wire holder for a plastic bag is disclosed to hold the bag in a vertical position with its mouth snagged in a fully open position on a wire framework formed by a horizontally disposed bag holding frame and an upper portion of an upright supporting framework for the bag holding frame. The wire holder is portable and, in one embodiment, may simply be thrust into the ground where it is to be used, for example, to collect leaves, grass clippings, or other discrete matter. The legs of the supporting frame are provided with stub ends and a lateral support member which sets their depth and keeps the bag holding frame in a horizontal plane while the bag is filled. In another embodiment, a foldable base is provided which is a mirror image of the bag holding frame. Angulation of the pivot on the supporting frame, or of the ends of the bag holding frame, is essential to position the bag holding frame in the horizontal position.

Abstract: An improved wire rack for holding plastic bags is disclosed. Each side panel of the wire rack is constructed of two pieces of bent wire, one piece thereof forming a solid support between two parts of the other piece parallel to a third part of the other piece. The base of the wire rack is sized and grooved to interact with the two formed wire pieces of the wire rack to lock solidly in place to form a unitary structure.

Abstract: A wire rack is specifically adapted to hold a plastic bag open by its integral handle-loops, without making welds to provide journal means in which swing panels supporting the bag are swingably disposed. The rack which requires no base comprises a spacer frame which maintains at least two vertical mounting posts in horizontally spaced apart relationship with each other. The frame is mounted to a wall. Each swing panel is journalled in each mounting post which provides upper and lower wire "journalling loops", each in a horizontal plane. The journalling loops which are formed to closely wrap around the wire of a swing panel, obviate the need for welding any journal means to the wire stock of each mounting post. Each post also includes a forward-projecting U-shaped "post loop" in a horizontal plane, which in cooperation with a forward-projecting U-shaped panel loop, allows each swing panel to be locked in a bag-loading position with a plastic tube which snugly fits over both loops.

Abstract: A wire rack is mounted on the inner surface of a door of a cabinet at a suitable height, and a plastic bag with integral handle-loops is suspended from the rack without supporting the body of the bag. The wire rack comprises a main wire member and a wire bail which interconnects ends of the main wire member. The bail is used to store individual bags to be used, or a package of unused bags. The main member has tab-shaped protrusions formed by the sides of the main member, and the handle-loops are slipped around the tab-shaped protrusions so as to hold the bag in an open-mouthed material-receiving attitude.

Abstract: A wire rack for holding a plastic bag open so that it can be filled, is constructed from wire stock, essentially without any welds. The plastic bag has integral handle loops which are held apart in the rack. Essential components of the wire rack are left and right swing panels each formed from a single length of wire stock; a spacer frame comprising plural parallel wire members having wrap-around-ends, wrapped around the upper portions of each panel; and, a laminar base support means connecting the panels, upon which base the bag rests. Each swing panel includes a tab-shaped horizontal upper portion to engage a handle loop of the plastic bag so as to hold it open. Essential freedom from welds dispenses with problems related to failure of the welds. In one particularly preferred embodiment, the wire rack may be collapsed for shipping.

Abstract: A retainer clip is formed from elongated rod or wire as a continuous L-shaped member having a pair of arms substantially at right angles to one another. Each arm has a resilient loop formed by bending the end portion of the arm through at least one complete turn. Each arm of the L-shaped member extends along of two sideboards in end-adjacent relationship with each other, biasing flatly against end-adjacent inner walls of the ingot mold. The end portion of each arm abuts the next adjacent sideboard orthogonally, the arm biasing parallel oppositely disposed sideboards against inner walls of the ingot mold. Each retainer clip thus thrusts one pair of sideboards, in end-adjacent relationship with each other, against coextensive inner walls of the ingot mold, and at the same time, thrusts against portions of two diagonally oppositely disposed sideboards also in end-adjacent relationship with each other.
