US Patent 9409666 Apparatus for collecting debris and method of use

Apparatus for collecting debris which resides upon a support surface includes a body which has an open mouth end and an opposite closed end. Two diverters are connected to opposite sides of the open end. The diverters are angularly positioned so that they channel the debris into the open end of the apparatus. In one embodiment the apparatus is held in place by staking the distal ends of the diverters to the support surface such as a lawn. In another embodiment weights are placed in pockets in the diverters to hold the apparatus in place on a hard surface such as a driveway.
