this invention relates to an internal support or support frame for a liner used to protect the inside surface of a container from coming in contact with the contents to be deposited therein . for example , garbage can liners are provided to protect the inside surfaces of garbage cans from coming in contact with and thus contaminated by the garbage that is deposited and stored therein . the internal support or support frame provides that the liner is contained entirely within the container , without having to lap or drape over the exterior of the container . this eliminates a problem associated with using plastic liners draped over the outside of containers such as garbage cans that usually result in an unsightly situation , especially in the case of decorative trash cans .
