  • Patent number: 7546989
    Abstract: A leaf bagging apparatus is collapsible in the disassembled state, thereby aiding in transport and storage. Further, the net assembly provides a much sturdier temporary container for leaves and debris than do plastic bags. Also, the net breathes. The net assembly removably fastens to the frame via grommets and hooks. The frame with attached net assembly is held in an open-mouthed position via the removable triangular supports. The supports feature bottom legs and angled legs are fitted with flex clips that are angularly attached via collars. The collars offer a strengthened attachment which also positions the triangular supports is a substantially vertical plane, thereby holding the net fully open. This full open net is especially advantageous in the use of leaf blowers in filling the relatively large net with debris.
