ABSTRACT:
An improved bag holder and collector for receiving grass clippings, leaves, etc., in a top hopper for discharge into a collection bag removably mounted below the hopper. The hopper is formed by a pair of downwardly inwardly sloping end walls and a pair of vertical side walls which terminate with a rectangular-shaped horizontal bottom wall. A circular discharge opening is provided in the center of the bottom wall, with the remaining portion of the bottom wall forming a flat shelf area surrounding the opening. A cylindrical collar is mounted beneath the bottom hopper wall concentric with the discharge opening. Clamping ring means removably mounts a collection bag on the collar for receiving the materials discharged through the hopper opening. The hopper is supported between a pair of upstanding end panels having wheels attached to the bottoms thereof for movably supporting the hopper. The combination of the flat shelf area which surrounds the circular discharge opening, the configuration of the hopper walls, and the size of the discharge opening has been found to sufficiently restrain the grass clippings in the hopper to reduce the free fall of the clippings through the discharge opening during the replacement of a collection bag without requiring any shut-off mechanism.
