Patent ID: 7404835

Claim:
A debris collection device with a self sealing retention system comprising: a.) a bag having a reclosable zippered opening constructed such that when the zippered opening is zipped closed the bag defines a substantially closed interior volume whereby only a small debris entry opening remains; b.) a substantially tubular resilient elastomeric adapter having an interior hollow substantially cylindrical channel extending therethrough end to end and where an exterior surface of said adapter has forward and aft protrusions formed therein and proximately spaced apart from each other forward to aft along a length of said adapter defining a valley between said forward and aft protrusions; and c.) where the adapter is inserted lengthwise through the debris entry opening and the inner edges of the debris entry opening are fixedly attached to the adapter in the valley of the adapter such that the interior channel of the adapter communicably links the interior volume of the bag with an exterior area surrounding the bag.
