Abstract
An air transmissible bag member is mounted coaxially aligned relative to a bug light assembly at a lowermost end thereof to receive bug members dispelled from the bug light assembly and directed into the bag by way of interposed fan assembly between the bug light assembly and the bag.
Claims1
A bug light and bag apparatus, comprising,
- a bug light assembly having a mesh body frame, the mesh body frame including a lower perimeter frame member, with the mesh body frame and lower perimeter frame member coaxially aligned about a predetermined axis, and
- the lower perimeter frame member including a lower frame opening, and
- a plurality of support legs extending from the lower perimeter frame member about the lower frame opening, with the support legs parallel to the axis, and a cylindrical fan mounting frame fixedly mounted to the support legs spaced from the lower perimeter frame member, with the cylindrical fan mounting frame coaxially aligned about the axis, with the fan mounting frame having a fan member mounted medially thereof, including fan blades, with an air transmissible bag member mounted to the cylindrical fan mounting frame, with the bag member coaxially aligned relative to the axis, and
- the cylindrical fan mounting frame including an annular mounting flange, the annular mounting flange projecting radially and exteriorly of the fan mounting frame orthogonally relative to the axis, and the annular flange further including an "O" ring groove, and the bag member including a bag entrance end, and a resilient "O" ring, wherein the bag member is captured between the "O" ring and the "O" ring groove in adjacency to the bag entrance end, and
- the annular mounting flange includes a door plate biased coextensively over the annular mounting flange, with a spring hinge mounting the door plate to the annular mounting flange and biasing the door plate in communication with the annular mounting flange, whereupon actuation of the fan motor displaces the door plate relative to the annular mounting flange, and
- the bag member includes a bag exit opening coaxially aligned relative to the axis at a spaced relationship relative to the annular mounting flange, with the bag exit opening including a cylindrical housing mounted thereto, with the cylindrical housing including a cylindrical housing annular groove, and an air impermeable accessory bag mounted to the cylindrical housing, with the accessory bag having an accessory bag entrance end positioned over the cylindrical housing annular groove, with a resilient accessory bag "O" ring mounted onto the cylindrical housing annular groove capturing the accessory bag between the accessory bag "O" ring and the cylindrical housing annular groove.
