The disclosure and prior art relates to debris bag devices and more particularly pertains to a new debris bag device for collecting and subsequently disposing of debris.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a wheelbarrow that has a bucket. A bag is positionable in the bucket of the wheelbarrow and debris is positioned in the bag when the bag is positioned in the bucket. Additionally, the bag has dimensions corresponding to dimensions of the bucket thereby facilitating the bag to conform to the bucket. A drawstring is slidably coupled to the bag for selectively closing the bag.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The bag 22 has a basal wall 26 and an outside wall 28 extending upwardly therefrom, and the outside wall 28 has a distal edge 30 with respect to the basal wall 26. The basal wall 26 rests on the lower wall 16 of the bucket 14 when the bag 22 is positioned in the bucket 14. The outside wall 28 rests against and is coextensive with the outer wall 18 of the bucket 14 when the bag 22 is positioned in the bucket 14. Alternatively, the bag 22 may be positioned in a collection bin of a riding lawn mower or other similar machine for collecting leaves or grass clippings.
The outside wall 28 of the bag 22 is rolled over onto itself having the distal edge 30 of the outside wall 28 being bonded to an outer surface 32 of the outside wall 28. Thus, a channel 34 is defined that extends around an entire perimeter of the outside wall 28. The outside wall 28 has a pair of openings 36 each extending into the channel 34, and the openings 36 are positioned on opposite sides of the outside wall 28 with respect to each other. The bag 22 is comprised of a deformable material such as plastic or the like and the debris 24 collected in the bag 22 may be leaves, grass clippings or other debris 24 associated with lawn care.
A drawstring 38 is slidably coupled to the bag 22 for selectively closing the bag 22 and the drawstring 38 is positioned within the channel 34. The drawstring 38 extends outwardly through each of the openings 36 in the outside wall 28 of the bag 22 thereby defining a pair of exposed portions 40 of the drawstring 38. The drawstring 38 is tightened around the outer wall 18 of the bucket 14 when the bag 22 is positioned in the bucket 14 for retaining the bag 22 in the bucket 14. Additionally, each of the exposed portions 40 is grasped and urged outwardly from the openings 36 thereby facilitating the bag 22 to be closed for enclosing and thusly transport the debris 24.
In use, the bag 22 is positioned in the bucket 14 of the wheelbarrow 12 such that the bag 22 conforms to the bucket 14. The drawstring 38 is tightened around the outer wall 18 of the bucket 14 for securing the bag 22 in the bucket 14. The debris 24 is dumped into the bucket 14 thereby facilitating the debris 24 to be captured in the bag 22. Each of the exposed portions 40 of the drawstring 38 are urged outwardly from the openings 36 for closing the bag 22 when the bag 22 becomes sufficiently filled with the debris 24. In this way the debris 24 is stored in the bag 22 for subsequent storage and disposal. Thus, the task of collecting leaves or grass clippings while performing yard work is enhanced with respect to bagging and disposing of the leaves and grass clippings.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
