Debris bagger

Abstract

A mobile yard Debris Bagger attached to a common vacuum shredder to bag shredded yard debris directly to a common plastic or paper disposal bag. The disposal bag is mounted to a tubular adapter ring. The tubular adapter ring is installed in the larger end of the tapered fifter bag. A clamp ring holds the bags onto the tubular adapter ring. The smaller end of the tapered filter bag is attached to the outlet of the vacuum shredder. The shredded debris flows through the filter bag to the disposal bag on the tubular adapter ring. The filter bag acts as an air vent and pathway to deposit the debris into the disposal bag. The bag protector attached to the bottom of the tubular adapter ring keeps the disposal bag from being damaged as the bagger is pulled behind the user.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 679,206 Filed on May, 10, 2005.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVEVLOPMENT [0002] Not applicable REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISC APPENDIX [0003] Not applicable BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] The novel invention relates to a mobile apparatus for bagging shredded debris directly to a common trash disposal bag. The present invention is an attachment to a common leaf blower / vacuum shredder. The use of a vacuum shredder to collect yard debris has many advantages. First, it is portable and will go anywhere the operator can walk. Second, it will shred the debris reducing the volume from 10 to 1 in size. This saves trash disposal bags. It also prepares the material for composting or use as mulch. The reduced debris is collected in a filter bag attached to the shredder that allows the exhaust air ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009] It is also the object of this invention to make this process more efficient.

[0011] It is also the object of this invention to reduce the dust created in this process.

[0015] A disposal bag change without ever having to lift the weight in the bag of debris.

[0017] Increased efficiency of the vacuum / shredder, no extra backpressure on the vacuum device slowing the flow from the shredder.

[0018] The design also allows for a much larger filter bag with smaller pores resulting in better filtration of the debris stream from the shredder. The filter bag can be made larger because the operator does not need to carry it.

Problems solved by technology

This is caused by debris covering the pores in the filter bag producing backpressure on the shredder.

This backpressure reduces the ability of the vacuum to pick up debris to be shredded.

It is difficult to move the trashcan or frame and hold the vacuum shredder at the same time.

Therefore it is not as portable as the vacuum shredder.
