Freestanding sack holder

Abstract

A freestanding sack holder for allowing a sack to be held and filled with sand or other packing material. The freestanding sack holder includes a hollow body that has an open top, an open bottom, and a narrowing aspect between the open top and open bottom such that the open top is wider than the open bottom. The hollow body additionally includes a pair of strap apertures that enable it to be suspended between two steps of a horizontally oriented ladder and three independently resizable telescoping legs that enable it to stand upright with the open top oriented above the open bottom. By way of the inclusion of the strap apertures and the legs, the freestanding sack holder can be used to fill a sack or other receptacle while self standing or while being suspended from a horizontally oriented straight ladder.
