A pitcher for holding flexible bags filled with milk or other liquids. The
pitcher comprises a substantially rigid housing having a bottom, sides
and a generally open top forming a generally hollow interior capable of
receiving therein a flexible bag filled with liquid. The housing is
dimensioned so that at least a portion of the bag extends upwardly
through the open top when the bag is received within the hollow interior.
At least one bag clamping member is attached to the housing and is
movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. When it is
in its disengaged position the clamping member is generally adjacent to
the sides of the housing. When it is in its engaged position the clamping
member extends upwardly from the open top of the housing and is
releasably securable to a portion of a bag received within the hollow
interior of the housing to assist in maintaining the bag in an upright
configuration.
