View pageUS Patent:

Filed:

Appl. No.:

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:
A machine for simplifying the processes involved with yard debris bagging. The machine is comprised of a cylinder with an extended scoop, and a yard bag retainer that also serves as the primary handle. In the preferred embodiment, the two-piece plastic machine, consisting of a tapered cylinder with a hinged handle that swings into its seated position within the cylinder's opening, is inserted into an expanded yard bag. The opened edge of the yard bag is gathered and pulled forward and up, then folded over the cylinders lip. The handle is moved down into its seated position, grasping the gathered edge of the yard bag. The operator two-handedly maneuvers the scoop (extension portion of the cylinder) under a pile of leaves, lifts the scoop with the leading hand and deposits the leaves into the bottom of the yard bag. The loading the machine can vary depending on application. Loading the machines scoop by rack or shovel, or hand loading the cylinder with sharp thorny yard debris are user friendly options. The retainer/handle of the machine secures a plastic or biodegradable yard bag in place in it's opened state until the operator is ready to release it and remove the machine from the loaded yard bag.
