ABSTRACT:
Sandbag filling apparatuses and methods of forming sandbag filling apparatuses are described. In one embodiment, a light-weight sandbag filling apparatus includes a base which is placable on the ground proximate a pile of sand. A support member is connected with the base and extends away therefrom. A pair of spaced-apart, sand-intake funnels are supported on opposite sides of the support member. The funnels include respective inlets and outlets and are positioned by the support member above the ground a distance which is sufficient to enable both (a) a person standing on the ground proximate the sand pile to shovel amounts of sand directly into the inlets, and (b) a person or persons to hold a sandbag adjacent one or both of the outlets to receive sand amounts which are shoveled directly into the associated inlet. In another embodiment, a sandbag filling apparatus includes a base, a support post connected with the base and extending away therefrom along a long axis. A sand-receiving platform is connected with the support post and is disposed at an oblique angle relative to the long axis. The oblique angle positions the sand-receiving platform to define a target area for an incoming amount of sand. A sand-receiving passageway is supported by the sand-receiving platform and includes an inlet, an outlet, and a flow axis therebetween and along which the sand can flow. The outlet is positioned to accommodate placement of a sandbag within a fill zone therebeneath for filling.
