Abstract

A sand bag filler device attachment for vacuum trucks with conveyor-ramps for placement is disclosed. The apparatus consists of commercially available vacuum tuck with vacuum arm, conveyor-ramps and with the sand bag filler device attached. It can be retrofitted to the vehicle or attached temporarily, dependent on the needs of the operators. The bags can be tracked delivered or spring delivered on a bag conveyor to the device that is in position to open the empty bags with it's filler doors and insert the filler mouth inside to deposit the source material, this instance sand. The filled bags are then deported down controlled conveyor-ramps that can be raised or lowered or swivel to the left or to the right for bag placement.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
We claim:  
     
         1 . A sand bag filler device attachment for commercially available vacuum trucks with conveyor-ramps comprised of an elbow pipe connected to suction housing of the truck that vacuums source material, this instance sand, through a vacuum arm. The elbow pipe is fastened at it's base by a feed shaft that receives a pre-determined amount of sand.  
     
     
         2 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 2  has hydraulic intake an outtake tubes that are attached to the side of the elbow pipe by bolts and clamps that have hydraulic fluid inside(not shown).  
     
     
         3 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 3  has the hydraulic intake and outtake tubes of  claim 2  fastened to intake and outtake regulators that control the amount of hydraulic pressure fluid and joined to the intake and outtake tubes of  claim 2  by connectors.  
     
     
         4 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 4  has the intake and outtake regulators of  claim 3  fastened to wheel intake and outtake tubes by connectors that receive the hydraulic pressure fluid that has been regulated.  
     
     
         5 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 5  has wheel intake and outtake tubes of  claim 4  are connected to the drive wheel by connectors and receive the controlled hydraulic fluid that spins the drive wheel in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation around the drive wheel axle.  
     
     
         6 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 6  has the drive wheel of  claim 5  atop the track wheel (track wheel and drive wheel are gear wheels)and when the drive wheel spins it's rotation causes the track wheel sp ig along the track axle to spin, counter-clockwise when regulated intake fluid is sent to the wheel intake tube and clockwise when regulated outtake fluid is received from the wheel outtake tube.  
     
     
         7 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 7  has the track wheel of  claim 6  aligned to the mouth shaft that has a track(not shown)that the track wheel travels to drive the mouth shaft up when the track wheel spins in a clockwise direction and sends the mouth shaft in an up direction.  
     
     
         8 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 8  has the mouth shaft of  claim 7  piston up to meet the feed tube that has the source material, this instance sand, in a pre-determined amount.  
     
     
         9 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 9  has feed tube of  claim 8  feed pre-determined amount of source material, this instance sand, to the mouth shaft that the feed tube is inserted inside, with the mouth shaft capable of sliding or piston up and down the feed shaft with the source sand material.  
     
     
         10 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 10  has the mouth shaft of  claim 9  with the pre-determined amount of source sand coursing through the mouth shaft to the mouth housing that the mouth shaft is inserted inside and it also has the capability to piston up and down inside of the mouth housing.  
     
     
         11 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 11  has the mouth shaft of  claim 10  with the base of the mouth shaft becoming the filler mouth.  
     
     
         12 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 12  has the filler mouth of  claim 11  in position of filler doors, which comprise the base of the mouth housing.  
     
     
         13 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 13  has the filler doors of  claim 12  above the empty bag to be filled with source sand that has been received from the mouth shaft and coursing down to filler mouth.  
     
     
         14 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 14  has the filler doors of  claim 13  open the top of the empty bag and when open the doors expose the filler mouth that is inserted into the open bag to deposit pre-determined amount of source sand.  
     
     
         15 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 15  has the empty bag that has been filled by filler mouth of  claim 14;  and these bags can be transported by track or spring loaded in multiples awaiting to be positioned to be filled by the filler mouth of  claim 11 .  
     
     
         16 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 1  that is attached to a commercially available vacuum truck with conveyor-ramps that receives the filled bag of  claim 14  to deport outside the vehicle for placement.  
     
     
         17 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 17  with the completed bags traversing the conveyor-ramp of  claim 16  with the outside controls of the conveyor-ramp raising or lowering the conveyor-ramp, or being able to swivel left or to the right for the bag placement.  
     
     
         18 . The sand bag filler device attachment of  claim 1  of FIG. 2 has rear belt  16  and front belt  28  for stability.
