See full text

A sponge counter includes a plurality of connected transparent flexible expandable open-topped plastic sponge-receiving bags which are mounted on a support which in turn can be hung from the edge of a kick bucket or the like. The bags are positioned close to the mouth of the kick bucket to provide high visibility of sponges placed therein. In the embodiment disclosed herein, the bags are interconnected in accordian-like fashion and the bag support is slotted to slip down over the kick bucket rim so that the counter assembly and bags extend radially out from the bucket wall. The slot is oriented so that the hanging counter assembly is positioned horizontally. The assembly is collapsible for easy disposal.
