Abstract
Bag holding apparatus is disclosed comprising a foldable structure which permits the attachment thereto of reusable plastic or paper bags. A planar member is foldable into a back member, side members hingedly rotatable into a perpendicular position with respect to the back member on each side thereof, and a top member hingedly rotatable down onto the top edges of the side members. Alternative means are formed into the side members to allow the attachment of the reusable bags to the foldable structure. One alternative means comprises contoured cutouts in the side members whereby a reusable bag having handles attached thereto may be secured to the cutouts in the side members. Another alternative means comprises snap means whereby a handless bag may be secured to the side members with the thickness of the bag being captured between a raised protrusion which snap fits within a hole.
