Device to hold paper bag for grass clippings

Abstract

The device to hold a bag for grass clippings has an upper section including a hopper integral with a chute having solid walls, and a lower section configured as a caddy for supporting the chute in an upright position. The chute has a pair of wheels for transporting the device, and a pair of toe tabs for lateral stability and for holding the caddy when removing the upper section from a bag of grass clippings. In use, the chute is inverted and a paper bag is placed over the chute. The upper section is turned over to an upright position and placed on the caddy. The hopper may be grasped to tilt the device and wheel it to a desired location. The chute is removed from the bag and the bag is removed from the caddy after bagging the grass clippings.

I claim:
