Yard Waste Collection System
US Patent:
7066220, Jun 27, 2006
Filed:
Dec 2, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/292642
Inventors:
Rafael C. Take - Wildwood MO, US
Randall H. Johnson - Ballwin MO, US
Randall H. Johnson - Ballwin MO, US
Assignee:
Take and Associates, Inc. - Ballwin MO
International Classification:
B65B 1/04
US Classification:
141391, 141315, 141316
Abstract:
A novel yard waste collection system is provided which can be used with both paper and plastic trash and lawn waste bags. A pair of upside down U-shaped members are provided which are connected by four pivoted arms to create a support frame such that the support frame can be held in either an open or closed position. The open end of the U-shaped members faces towards the ground with the closed end of the U-shaped members being on the top side of the support frame when in use. When the support frame is in closed position, the device is relatively flat for easy storage in a closet, garage, or storage shed. The four pivoted arms, two on each side of the pair of U-shaped members, are pivotally connected to the two U-shaped members such that a first U-shaped member is held below the second U-shaped member. The device can be pivoted to an open position such that the two U-shaped arms remain in a generally parallel position in respect to one another forming a rectangular box shape. At this point the two U-shaped members are now at the same height with respect to one another and held apart the appropriate distance equal to the length of the pivoted arms to support either the paper or plastic yard waste bag being used.
