Yard Cleaner

Abstract

A device for clearing yard debris comprises a ring encircling a void space, a bag having a mouth disposed about the ring. The ring has a proximal end and a distal end with a handle extending from the distal end of the ring and a blade attached to the proximal end of the ring.

1 . A device for clearing yard debris comprising: a ring encircling a void space, a bag having a mouth, the mouth disposed about the ring, the ring having a proximal end and a distal end, a handle extending from the distal end of the ring and a blade attached to the proximal end of the ring. 
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the handle is elongated. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the ring has a width, the blade having a width substantially the same as the width of the ring. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the blade is bent. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4  wherein the ring defines a ring plane, a first portion of the blade is substantially parallel to the ring plane, a second portion of the blade forms an oblique angle with the ring plane. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the ring is bent into a proximal ring portion and a distal ring portion, the proximal ring portion defining a proximal ring plane and the distal ring portion defining a distal ring plane, the proximal ring plane forming an oblique angle with the distal ring plane. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6  wherein the distal ring plane has a blade extending there from. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 6  wherein a first portion of the blade is substantially parallel to the distal ring plane, a second portion of the blade forms an oblique angle with the distal ring plane. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the ring is substantially rectangular. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the ring and the blade are of one-piece construction. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the ring is constructed from a material selected from the group consisting of metal, polymers, plastics, ceramic, and any combination thereof. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the blade is constructed from a material selected from the group consisting of metal, polymers, plastics, ceramic, and any combination thereof. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the mouth of the bag has the substantially same dimensions as the ring. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the mouth of the bag removably attaches to the ring. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 14  wherein the bag is of a netted material. 
     
     
         16 . A device for clearing yard debris comprising: a ring encircling a void space and defining a ring plane, a bag having a mouth, the mouth disposed about the ring, the ring having a proximal end and a distal end, an elongated handle extending from the distal end of the ring, and a blade attached to the proximal end of the ring, the blade having a width substantially the same as the width of the ring, the blade being bent such that a first portion of the blade is substantially parallel to the ring plane, a second portion of the blade forming an oblique angle with the ring plane. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 16  wherein the ring is substantially rectangular. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 16  wherein the ring and the blade are of one-piece construction. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 16  wherein the ring is constructed from a material selected from the group consisting of metal, polymers, plastics, ceramic, and any combination thereof. 
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 16  wherein the blade is constructed from a material selected from the group consisting of metal, polymers, plastics, ceramic, and any combination thereof.
