Abstract:
An apparatus for the collection of debris such as leaves and other yard debris having a flat-pack configuration and a hoop-like configuration. In a hoop-like configuration, the apparatus allows the fixation of a bag such that the bag is held open and allows the user to dispose debris through the apparatus and into the bag.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for debris collection comprising:\n a scoop located between a first extension and a second extension, the extensions extending away from the scoop; the extensions comprising a flexible material; a first end of the scoop attached to a first end of the first extension with a first hinge, the first extension extending away from the scoop in a first direction; a second end of the scoop attached to a first end of the second extension with a second hinge, the second extension extending away from the scoop in a second direction, substantially parallel to the first direction; a first extension attachment affixed to the first extension, and proximal to a second end of the first extension; a second extension attachment affixed to the second extension, and located between the first end and a second end of the second extension; and the first extension attachment configured to mate with the second extension attachment, wherein the mating of the extension attachments results in the fixation of the first extension to the second extension, thus configuring the apparatus from a flat configuration to a hoop configuration, and wherein the scoop remains flat when the apparatus is in a hoop configuration.
