  • Publication number: 20180160628
    Abstract: A coilable leaf bagging device generally oval/egg shaped in configuration, with rear attachment of disposable specifically designed perforated receptacle. It is intended for use in bagging leaves, utilizing the aerodynamics of a power operated leaf/lawn debris power blower. It is unique in it's design facilitating the combined collection and subsequent bagging of leaves/debris with limited or elimination of physical labor which incorporates a racking or lifting action. Device is comprised of 6 membranes, and 3 flexible loop members having memory, within sleeves to form a plurality of concentric loop rings and layers of aerodynamically constructed membrane to substantially reduce the size of the structure which is able to be supported on a penetrable firm surface.
