Description
- The current application claims a priority to the U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 61/570,469 filed on Dec. 14, 2011.
- The present invention relates generally to disposing of outdoor waste. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus for a yard waste bag with an integrated funnel.
- Homeowners are often faced with certain tasks to maintain their property, including maintaining a garden, trees or shrubbery, cleaning gutters, fixing or replacing fences or siding, painting, mowing the lawn, or clearing their lawn of leaves. Most residential neighborhoods plant many trees to provide a natural, welcoming and pleasant environment for the residents. During the fall season, deciduous trees lose their leaves, primarily to conserve energy through the winter months and prevent damage to the tree. By losing their leaves, trees can conserve their moisture in the trunk and branches, rather than drying out and dying. Leaf loss also puts the tree into a state of dormancy, greatly reducing the amount of energy the tree needs to stay alive. Since trees are often placed near people's homes, leaves are prone to falling into their yard, creating an unsightly appearance.
- Homeowners typically use a rake or leaf blower to collect the leaves into a pile, which must then be disposed of. In some places, it is permissible for the leaves to be burned, or the leaves may be carried or blown to a nearby wooded area. In many urban areas, however, there is no nearby wooded area, or local ordinances prohibit leaf burning due to fire hazards and environmental impact. As such, it is often required that leaves are placed into bags for later pickup by a waste disposal service.
- It is possible to use typical plastic trash bags for leaf disposal, but it is often required that leaves are placed into biodegradable paper bags. These lawn and leaf bags typically resemble an oversized grocery bag and are self-standing, with a 30 gallon capacity. However, it is often difficult for one person to load leaves into a typical lawn and leaf bag since the opening of the bag is not very large compared to its volumetric capacity. Leaves often spill over the edges of the bag when a person attempts to load a high volume of leaves and other debris into the bag, making the loading process inefficient. In addition, the edges of the bag are prone to folding into the bag upon loading, providing further complication and frustration for the user. Existing leaf waste bags also do not seal, and waste may fall out of the bag during transport.
- Various systems have been developed to assist a person in disposing of yard waste, such as funnel inserts, but they are frequently bulky, expensive, difficult to store, or otherwise inconvenient.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a disposable bag with an integrated funnel that is disposable, biodegradable, easy to use and easy to store, and may be sealed after use.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention with a square shaped funnel portion. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment of the present invention with a circular funnel portion. -
