News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: "By way of background, this invention relates to improvemen ts in automatic leaf collector devices. Generally, cleaning up leaves, twigs, an d other yard debris during fall months can be exceptionally time consuming and e xhausting. Further, raking leaves and then shoveling them into trash bags can al so be frustrating. Additionally, constantly moving around environmental debris c an trigger severe allergies in some people. "During autumn in many communities, homeowners must haul fallen leaves to the st reet curb in order that the local municipality may collect the leaves. For homeo wners with large property and/or a great number of deciduous trees on the proper ty (and correspondingly a great number of fallen leaves), this can be a time-con suming and burdensome task. Further, using garbage bags to haul fallen leaves ca n be frustrating, as the garbage bags are susceptible to tears. Thus, torn garba ge bags may allow leaves, previously placed in the bag, to escape the confines o f the bag, thereby causing the person performing the raking to have to redo some work.
