Collection bag for receiving a collected material

Abstract

A collection bag is for receiving a collected material and an emptying opening configured in a specific shape for the collection bag which has a receiving space defined by a woven cloth. The receiving space is defined by outer edges of the collection bag. The woven cloth is at least partially air-permeable. The receiving space has an inlet opening for a blower air flow supplying the material and a closable emptying opening for removing the material. The receiving space opens into a tubular outlet section, the open end thereof forming the emptying opening. In a closed position of the outlet section, the receiving space or the emptying opening is closed. In an open position, the receiving space is connected to the surroundings via the emptying opening. In its open position, the outlet section protrudes from the bag and, in its closed position, the outlet section is located inside the bag.

1 . A collection bag for receiving a collected material for a hand-held work apparatus, the collection bag comprising:
 a woven cloth defining a receiving space;   said woven cloth being at least partially air-permeable;   said receiving space having an inlet opening for an air flow supplying the collected material and a closable emptying opening for removing the collected material; and,   wherein said receiving space opens into an outlet section having an open end forming said emptying opening;
 said outlet section being configured in a closed position to close said receiving space and in an open position to connect said receiving space to surroundings, wherein in said open position said outlet section protrudes from the collection bag and in said closed position said outlet section is located inside the collection bag. 
   
     
     
         2 . The collection bag of  claim 1 , wherein in said closed position of said outlet section, an opening edge defining said emptying opening is folded at least once into the collection bag. 
     
     
         3 . The collection bag of  claim 2 , wherein in said closed position said outlet section is located entirely below a flap of the collection bag and the collection bag is closed according to a principle of a labyrinth seal. 
     
     
         4 . The collection bag of  claim 2 , wherein said folded-in circumferential opening edge is secured in a folded-in closed position by said outer woven cloth of the collection bag. 
     
     
         5 . The collection bag of  claim 1 , wherein said closed position of said outlet section is secured by at least one closure element which is held on the collection bag. 
     
     
         6 . The collection bag of  claim 5 , wherein said closure element is a buckle held on an outer face of said woven cloth. 
     
     
         7 . The collection bag of  claim 2 , wherein said opening edge of said outlet section defining said emptying opening is reinforced by a flat bar; and, said flat bar is divided in a longitudinal direction thereof into at least two segments which are mutually separate. 
     
     
         8 . The collection bag of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a flat bar defining a longitudinal direction; 
 a flap reinforced by said flat bar; and, 
 said flat bar in said longitudinal direction being divided into at least two segments which are mutually separate. 
 
     
     
         9 . The collection bag of  claim 5 , wherein a fold of said opening edge which is formed in said closed position of said outlet section corresponds at least to a width (F) of a flat bar. 
     
     
         10 . The collection bag of  claim 1 , wherein the work apparatus is a leaf blower. 
     
     
         11 . The collection bag of  claim 1 , wherein said outlet section is configured in said closed position to close said emptying opening.
