Automatic leaf bagging device

Abstract

The device includes a corral area with porous sides which allows air to pass through while leaves and debris are staged for insertion into the bagger; and an incline plane with an aeronautical design on top, which forces the air and leaves towards the bag chutes the bagging area where air is exhausted and leaves/debris are deposited into the bags via air pressure and gravity. The bags are held in an almost vertical position to facilitate complete filling. The design also includes an infinitely adjustable air baffle, which can be attached to any standard blower to aid in the insertion of the leaves and debris into the chute.

1 . An apparatus for collecting leaves and debris comprising:
 a corral area with porous sides for oscillating leaves to be staged for their insertion into the apparatus;   a chute proximate to the corral for forcing air and leaves from the corral;   a bagging area adjacent to the corral where leaves/debris are forced into at least one bag via air pressure and gravity; and   an air exhaust proximate to the bagging area to permit excess air to exit the apparatus.   
   
   
       2 . An apparatus for collecting leaves and debris comprising:
 a corral area with porous sides for gathering leaves and debris which are staged for their insertion into the apparatus;   a chute connected to the corral having a conduit for air and leaves to be blown from the corral;   a bagging area supporting a plurality of bags where leaves/debris are deposited into the bags via air pressure and gravity;   an air exhaust proximate to each bag to permit air into the apparatus; and   a baffled blower for blowing leaves and debris from the corral to the bagging area through the chute.   
   
   
       3 . An apparatus for collecting leaves and debris comprising:
 a corral area with porous sides which allows air to pass through while leaves and debris are staged for their insertion into the bagger;   a chute corral for forcing air and leaves from the corral;   a bagging area where leaves/debris are deposited into the bags via air pressure and gravity; and   an air exhaust proximate to the bagging area to permit air to exit the apparatus.   
   
   
       4 . An apparatus for collecting leaves and debris comprising:
 a corral area with porous sides which allows air to pass through while leave and debris are staged for their insertion into the bagger;   a chute which pivots to the corral for forcing air and leaves from the corral;   a bagging area where leaves/debris are deposited into the bags via air pressure and gravity;   an air exhaust proximate to the bagging area to permit air to exit the apparatus; and   a wheeled under carriage for moving the apparatus.
