Abstract
Abstract A portable litter bag holder is disclosed which is formed out of bent tubular material. The folding frame has a support stake with a right triangular foot piece secured thereto for pressing the same into the ground by standing on it. A rectangular bag frame is pivotally mounted to the support stake and a plastic bag of the typical 5 to 7 gallon plastic household variety has its upper edges folded around the bag frame, and is secured in place by a cover which is pivotally mounted to the bag frame along the edge opposite to the pivotal mount of the support stake to the bag frame. Stops are provided on the cover as well as the bag frame to insure the proper relationship of the parts when in operation, and yet permit the unit to be folded into a flat configuration.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A portable litter bag holder comprising, in combination, a folding frame having a support stake and a bag frame pivotally secured thereto to pivot about an axis perpendicular to the support stake, stop means on the bag frame proportioned to terminate the pivotal action of the bag frame in a plane substantially perpendicular to the support stake when pivoted thereabout, a cover having means pivotally mounting the same to the bag frame to pivot thereabout along an axis parallel with the axis about which the bag frame pivots with respect to the support stake, and stop means on the cover restraining the same for retraction into a plane substantially parallel with the plane of the bag frame whereby the stop limits cooperate with the frame members to facilitate operation as well as folding for storage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

In the portable litter bag holder of the character defined in claim 1 above, a foot piece at the lower portion of the support stake to assist in mounting the unit in the ground.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
In the portable litter bag holder of claim 2 above, a pointed end of the support stake.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
In the portable litter bag holder of claim 1 above, said cover having a bag retainer recess about its periphery to positively engage the bag upper edges folded about the bag frame while closing the bag.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
53 words
In the portable litter bag holder of Claim 1 above, said bag frame comprising a single piece member with a rear, two sides, a stop elbow leg, a pivot elbow leg, a stop elbow and a pivot elbow, and a pivot Pin passing through the stop elbow and pivot elbow and support stake.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
74 words
In the portable litter bag holder of claim 1 above, a cover hinge pin secured to the bag frame parallel with its rear portion and therebeneath, hinge pin pocket means on the cover to receive said cover hinge pin, whereby the pivotal action of the cover proceeds out of direct contact with the bag frame edges thereby reducing any tendency to rub the upper edges of the bag reversely folded about the bag frame.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
53 words
In the portable litter bag holder of claim 4 above, said bag frame comprising a single piece member with a rear, two sides, a stop elbow leg, a pivot elbow leg, a stop elbow and a pivot elbow, and a pivot pin passing through the stop elbow and pivot elbow and support state.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
74 words
In the portable litter bag holder of claim 4 above, a cover hinge pin secured to the bag frame parallel with its rear portion and therebeneath, hinge pin pocket means on the cover to receive said cover hinge pin, whereby the pivotal action of the cover proceeds out of direct contact with the bag frame edges thereby reducing any tendency to rub the upper edges of the bag reversely folded about the bag frame.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
74 words
In the portable litter bag holder of claim 8 above, a cover hinge pin secured to the bag frame parallel with its rear portion and therebeneath, hinge pin pocket means on the cover to receive said cover hinge pin, whereby the pivotal action of the cover proceeds out of direct contact with the bag frame edges thereby reducing any tendency to rub the upper edges of the bag reversely folded about the bag frame.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
