Claims
- 1. A receptacle having an upper end,
- said upper end comprising means defining at least one cavity for enabling a multiplicity of projections to be selectively placed in any of a multiplicity of positions at said upper end, said at least one cavity having a substantially closed base, said means, receiving at least two of said projections, for supporting bags in said receptacle,
- each of said projections, that are included in said means for supporting bags, having a base that mates with said at least one cavity to thereby support the projection.
- 2. A receptacle as defined in claim 1 in which said first-named means defines a multiplicity of cavities positioned in spaced relation to each other around said upper end.
- 3. A receptacle as defined in claim 2 in which each of the multiplicity of projections has a base that will mate with any of said cavities, each said base making a snug fit in each of said cavities to thereby hold the projection in its desired position.
- 4. A receptacle as defined in claim 3 in which said projection extend upwardly and outwardly from said upper end.
- 5. A receptacle as defined in claim 4 in which said projections are curved.
- 6. A receptacle having an upper end,
- said upper end comprising means defining at least one cavity for enabling a multiplicity of projections to be selectively placed in any of a multiplicity of positions at said upper end, said means including means for supporting bags in said receptacle,
- said first-named means defining said cavity in the form of a single groove extending around said upper end.
- 7. A receptacle as defined in claim 6 in which said projections extend upwardly and outwardly from said upper end.
- 8. A receptacle as defined in claim 7 in which said projections are curved.
- 9. A receptacle as defined in claim 6 in which there are a multiplicity of projections which are slidable in said groove to their desired positions.
- 10. A receptacle as defined in claim 7 in which each of said projections have a base that mates with said groove.
- 11. A receptacle as defined in claim 10 in which said groove has an enlarged portion for receiving said base and a portion which is restricted to prevent said base from passing through the same.
- 12. A receptacle having an upper end,
- said upper end comprising means defining at least one cavity for enabling a multiplicity of projections to be selectively placed in any of a multiplicity of positions at said upper end, said at least one cavity comprising an elongated cavity for guiding at least one of said projections and permitting a projection that is in said elongated cavity to be moved along the elongated cavity, said means, including at least some of said projections, comprising means for supporting bags in said receptacle.
- 13. A receptacle as defined in claim 12 in which said projections extend upwardly and outwardly from said upper end.
- 14. A receptacle as defined in claim 12 in which there are a multiplicity of projections which are slidable in said elongated cavity to their desired positions.
