ABSTRACT:
A collapsible frame supports a leaf bag in such a position that a portion of the bag rests horizontally on the ground and the remainder of the bag is so attached to the frame so as to present a large arch-shaped opening to facilitate the collection of leaves, grass trimmings and other garden and lawn debris. The arch is formed by an overhead, resilient rod member inserted through an overhead receiving hem or fabric tunnel in or adjacent the perimeter of entrance to the bag. A pair of elongated rigid stabilizing feet are placed along the ground within the entrance to the bag. The ends of the overhead rod member are then inserted in an upwardly facing support cavity on each stabilizing foot. The overhead member forms an arcuate hoop or arch which supports the opening of the bag in a generally upright plane, with the remainder of the bag extending horizontally and parallel to the stabilizing feet. In a preferred embodiment, a second horizontal loop is secured at each end to a rearwardly facing cavity or passageway in each stabilizing foot. An intermediate portion of the horizontal hoop is attached to the floor of the bag to help retain the bag in a stretched out condition and maintains the arch member in close proximity to the floor.
