Abstract
Loading apparatus (10, 110) for collecting particulate matter and directing it into a bag (B), including a generally planar base (11, 111) having a pair of spaced lateral edges (14, 15) and a pair of spaced ends (12, 13) joining the edges, a pair of side plates (20, 21; 120, 121) pivotally attached to said spaced lateral edges and movable between a storage position substantially parallel to said base and an operating position substantially perpendicular to said base, and means (60, 60) for temporarily positioning and retaining the bag when said side plates are in said operating position.

Loading apparatus for collecting particulate matter and directing it into a bag comprising, a generally planar base having a pair of spaced lateral edges and a pair of spaced ends joining the edges, a pair of side plates pivotally attached to said spaced lateral edges and movable between a storage position underlying and substantially parallel to said base and an operating position substantially perpendicular to said base by hinges attached outwardly of said side plates and said base for moving said side plates through approximately 270 degrees from said storage position to said operating position where said side plates and said base are in engagement, and means for temporarily positioning and retaining the bag when said side plates are in said operating position.
Loading apparatus for collecting particulate matter and directing it into a bag comprising, a generally planar base having a pair of spaced lateral edges and a pair of spaced ends joining the edges, a pair of side plates pivotally attached by hinges to said spaced lateral edges and movable between a storage position substantially parallel to said base and an operating position substantially perpendicular to said base, means for temporarily positioning and retaining the bag when said side plates are in said operating position, and locking means for maintaining said side plates in said operating position, including a latch pivotally mounted on each of said side plates for movement into and out of engagement with said base and a slot in said base extending from one of said pair of spaced ends in a direction substantially paralleling one of said pair of lateral edges.
Loading apparatus for collecting particulate matter and directing it into a bag comprising, a generally planar base having a pair of spaced lateral edges and a pair of spaced ends joining the edges, a pair of side plates pivotally attached to said spaced lateral edges and movable between a storage position substantially parallel to said base and an operating position substantially perpendicular to said base, means for temporarily positioning and retaining the bag when said side plates are in said operating position, and aligning means on said base means for positioning the bag in alignment relative to said means for temporarily positioning and retaining the bag and in close proximity to said base.
