Abstract
A sandbagging attachment to a tiltable dolly for filling bags with scoopable materials such as sand without use of shovels and for subsequent transportation of the filled bags to the destination by using the same dolly. The attachment contains a connection member for connecting the attachment to the dolly and a scoop with a through passage for a material to be scooped. The connection member rotationally supports a scoop that can be turned between a scooping position for filling a bag and a transportation position, at which the filled bag can be transported by the dolly to the destination. The attachment eliminates a need for a special sandbagging equipment. All aforementioned operations are accomplished without the use of manual labor, except for transporting the dolly and removing the filled bag from the dolly.
Claims20
A sandbagging attachment to a tiltable dolly having a chassis for moving the dolly on the ground with two wheels on a single axis and a dolly frame member having an upper end with a handle portion and a lower end for connection of the handle member to the chassis, the sandbagging attachment comprising:
- a connectable/disconnectable dolly connection member for connecting the sandbagging attachment to the chassis of the dolly;
- a scoop comprising:
- sidewalls;
- an open front end for scooping a sand thus forming a scooped sand;
- an open rear end for passage of the scooped sand;
- a bottom surface;
- and
- scoop holding members having one ends rigidly attached to the sidewalls of the scoop in an intermediate position between the open front end and the open rear end of the scoop, gaps for inserting and securing a bag to the scoop being formed between the sidewalls and the scoop holding members;
- rotary bearing portion installed on the connectable/disconnectable dolly connection member for rotationally supporting ends of the scoop holding members opposite to said one ends;
- and
- a foot pedal rigidly secured to the connectable/disconnectable dolly connection member for tilting the scoop up during transportation of a bag filled with a sand.
