the self - bagging waste collection device of the present invention as seen in fig1 , and 3 , comprises a handle 10 having proximal and distal ends . the handle may be composed of wood , plastic , metal , or other substantially rigid , elongated material . the proximal end of the handle 10 is grasped by the user while operating the device . a substantially rigid frame 11 is disposed on the distal end of the handle 10 . the frame 11 is attached to handle 10 by handle attachment means 16 . handle attachment means 16 may comprise one of several embodiments . such may include sandwiching the handle 10 between edges of the frame 11 and riveting the frame edges together on either side of the handle 10 as shown in fig3 . also , as in fig2 and 10 , the frame 11 may extend around and be crimped to the distal end of the handle 10 . the frame 11 may also be constructed with a female threaded handle attachment means 16 for acceptance of a handle 10 with male threading on its distal end as in fig2 . it should be apparent that the threading of the handle and same may be reversed . other appropriate handle attachment means 16 such as nails , screws , pins , welding , adhesive and others should be obvious to those skilled in the art . the frame 11 is an open channeled form defining an interior space that may come in a variety of shapes such as rectangular ( fig1 - 3 and 21 - 28 ), squared ( fig1 - 20 ), elliptical ( fig7 - 14 ), trapezoidal ( fig2 - 34 ), and triangular ( fig3 - 42 ). these shapes are preferable , however other shapes would not be excluded . not all views and configurations are shown . the frame 11 is preferably thin - walled , with sufficient width to provide strength and the ability to incorporate attachment means for the handle 10 . the frame 11 may be composed of metal , plastic , composite , wood , or other similar material capable of being configured in the appropriate channeled form . the frame 11 has a bottom wall 12 which is preferably substantially parallel to the ground . the frame 11 is preferably configured to extend the bottom wall 12 outward from the vertical plane encompassing the handle 10 . this forward disposition of the bottom wall 12 eases the user &# 39 ; s waste collection ability , allowing the user to sweep the device along the ground to scoop waste , or sweep waste into the device with another implement without any interference from the handle 10 . in one embodiment , the lateral walls of frame 11 may be symmetrical to each other and normal to the same vertical plane to which the bottom wall 12 is normal . this configuration of the lateral walls of the frame 11 is beneficial if the frame 11 is to be manufactured by a molding process , for example plastic injection molding . in this frame 11 configuration , a simple two piece mold is all that is required . in another embodiment , the lateral walls of the frame 11 may be formed at dihedral angles with the bottom wall 12 while maintaining symmetry with each other . this embodiment is preferable when the frame 11 is constructed using a single band or ribbon of material . bending the lateral walls of the frame 11 at such complex angles gives the frame 11 added strength and , when bent again in complementary dihedral angles near the attachment point for the handle 10 , completes a conversion of the horizontally planed bottom wall 12 of the frame 11 into a vertically planed edge for attachment to the handle 10 while simultaneously disposing the bottom wall 12 forward of the vertical plane of the handle 10 . the frame 11 has attachment means 13 that hold the bag 15 operatively in place . the attachment means 13 are placed at a location away from the active portion of the frame . the active portion of the frame is the bottom wall 12 that comes in contact with the ground . the attachment means 13 may be a cutout or slot ( fig4 ), an extension ( fig5 ), a protrusion ( fig4 ), a tab ( fig6 ), or a device mounted on or affixed to the frame , such as a pin , screw , hook , or dowel as in fig1 - 3 , or any similar attachment means . it should be obvious to those skilled in the art that handle and bag attachment means that are shown for one frame configuration may also be used on other frame shapes and configurations . a bag 15 such as a plastic bag from a grocery store or other similarly sized plastic shopping bag with bag handles 14 is attached to the device in the following manner . leading with the open end of the plastic bag 15 , the bag 15 is partially inserted through the opening in the frame 11 from the rear . one edge of the plastic bag 15 between the bag handles 14 , defining the perimeter of the opening of the bag 15 , is fitted and pulled around the bottom wall 12 of the frame 11 . the bag handles 14 are then pulled over the lateral walls of the frame and attached to the frame 11 by looping the bag handles 14 over the corresponding frame attachment means 13 . the outside of the bag 15 thereby completely covers both faces of the bottom wall 12 and at least the interior faces as well as a substantial portion of the exterior faces of the lateral walls of the frame 11 , preventing any soiling of the frame by either the collected waste material or the ground . the waste material and the ground will only have contact with the interior surface of the bag 15 . the attachment means are located symmetrically to each other in positions that will hold the bag 15 in operable position and prevent the bag 15 from disengaging from the bottom wall 12 . the positions of the attachment means 13 can generally be described as located symmetrically on the frame 11 on opposing sides of the bottom wall 12 , such that the distance along the perimeter of the frame 11 between the attachment means 13 inclusive of the bottom wall 12 is roughly equivalent to the perimeter distance of the opening in the bag 15 along one edge between the centers of bag handles 14 . this improved method of attachment results in significantly greater tension in the fit of the bag 15 along the perimeter of the frame 11 . by this manner of attachment the bag 15 remains firmly in place and will accommodate several pounds of waste . no special fittings or clamps are required .
