AI Technical Summary
Benefits of technology
The present invention is a device used for collecting debris. The device has a main section with two parts that can be folded upward to form a pouch for holding debris. The device is designed to be sturdy enough to collect industrial debris, including glass, metal, and potentially hazardous objects. The user can easily load the debris onto the device and then remove and dispose of it. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a convenient and safe way to collect debris.
Problems solved by technology
However, as is often the case, waste can be bulky, sharp and / or heavy.
Plastic bags are not ideal for collecting this type of debris.
For example, after a car accident there can be a substantial amount of debris.
The trash can takes up considerable space on the truck and requires a lid and mounting system so that it remains sturdily on board in transit.
These mounting systems can be expensive.
This can result in trash and / or debris escaping out of the tow truck in transit after the truck leaves the scene.
Further, it is not ideal to collect potentially hazardous materials, such as an automobile part containing or soaked in antifreeze, motor oil or gasoline, in a standard container.

Embodiment Construction
[0015]The present invention is a device 10 for collecting debris, as illustrated in FIG. 1. While any waste products can be collected in the present device 10 it is most effectively used for collecting industrial debris, such as glass, metal and hard plastic. Device 10 is primarily comprised of a main section 39 having an edge 16. Main section is divided into a first portion 12 and a second portion 22 by a main support 14. Main support 14 connects to edge 16 at a first end 32 and a second end 34. Main support 14 is a supportive element, preferably made up of any known material that can withstand considerable weight and does not tear or rip easily from sharp objects. Thus, main section 30 could be made up of a disposable and thick plastic. Main support 14 defines the crease along which the first portion 12 and second portion 22 fold upward and together. First portion 12 has a first handle 20 and second portion 22 has a second handle 36. Main section 30 has a series of supporting memb...

The device for collecting debris comprises a main section having an edge. The main section is divided into a first portion and as second portion by a main support. The main support extends across main section and connects at either end to the edge of the main section. Two handles are attached to the edge of the first and second portion of main section. A series of supporting members extend from the two handles to the main support. The interconnection of the edge, the handles and the series of supporting members provides a support system in order to allow the device to hold large amounts of heavy debris without ripping or tearing the device.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to the field of collection devices. More specifically, the invention comprises a debris collection device.[0002]2. Description of the Related Art[0003]A garbage bag or bin bag made of plastic are typically used to collect garbage. Garbage bags can be used for most waste. However, as is often the case, waste can be bulky, sharp and / or heavy. Plastic bags are not ideal for collecting this type of debris. For example, after a car accident there can be a substantial amount of debris. A tow truck typically arrives at the scene of an accident to assist with the removal of the debris. A standard garbage bag would not adequately function to collect glass, heavy plastic and / or metal, It is therefore standard in the industry, for a tow truck to be equipped with an industrial trash can for collection of debris. The trash can takes up considerable space on the truck and requires a lid and mounting system so that i...
