연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

Apparatus and methods for filling a bag are provided. The apparatus includes a shovel with an elongate shovel arm, a shovel mouth positioned at a distal end of the shovel arm, and a shovel handle positioned at a proximal end of the shovel arm. The shovel mouth collects and directs fill material into the bag. The shovel handle is inserted into an opening of the bag and grasped by a user toward a bottom portion of the bag and from outside the bag. The apparatus includes an elongate arm rotatably coupled to the shovel arm at a pivot point and extending dist...

1. An apparatus for filling a bag, the apparatus comprising: a shovel comprising: an elongate shovel arm,a shovel mouth positioned at a distal end of the shovel arm, anda shovel handle positioned at a proximal end of the shovel arm, wherein: the shovel mouth is configured to collect and direct fill material into the bag,the shovel handle is configured to be inserted into an opening of the bag and grasped by a user toward a bottom portion of the bag and from outside the bag, andthe shovel mouth is configured to be positioned at the opening of the bag, within the bag, and adjacent a first side of the opening of the bag during filling of the bag, when the shovel handle is positioned within the bag at a closed end of the bag;an elongate bagger arm rotatably coupled to the shovel arm at a pivot point and extending at an angle in a distal direction and lateral direction away from the shovel arm, the bagger arm comprising a bagger arm handle disposed at a distal end; andan upper stop configured to limit a rotational range of the bagger arm away from the shovel mouth to an operable configuration in which the angle at which the bagger arm extends from the shovel arm is an acute angle,wherein the bagger arm rotates between an insertion configuration, in which the apparatus has a low profile with a first distance between the shovel mouth and the bagger arm handle, the low profile configured to facilitate insertion into a bag, and the operable configuration, in which the bagger arm handle is configured to be positioned within the bag adjacent a second and opposite side of the opening of the bag, creating a gap between the shovel mouth and the bagger arm handle and thereby holding the bag open during filling, the gap in the operable configuration having a second distance greater than the first distance. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a pin assembly to rotatably couple the bagger arm to the shovel arm at the pivot point. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the upper stop is disposed on the shovel arm adjacent the pivot point. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the upper stop is disposed on the bagger arm adjacent the pivot point. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a lower stop configured to limit a rotational range of the bagger arm toward the shovel to the insertion configuration and prevent the bagger arm handle from contacting the shovel mouth, wherein the angle at which the bagger arm in the insertion configuration extends in the distal direction from shovel arm is more acute than the acute angle of the operable configuration. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the lower stop is disposed on the shovel arm adjacent the pivot point. 7. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the lower stop is disposed on the bagger arm adjacent the pivot point. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, the shovel comprising a blade at a distal end of the shovel mouth, the blade to contact and direct fill material into the shovel. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the angle at which the bagger arm extends away from the shovel arm is between one degree and twenty degrees in the insertion configuration and is between twenty degrees and fifty degrees in the operable configuration. 10. A method of filling a bag, comprising: inserting a bagging apparatus in an insertion configuration into an opening of a bag, the bagging apparatus comprising: a shovel including an elongate shovel arm, a shovel mouth positioned at a distal end of the shovel arm, and a shovel handle positioned at a proximal end of the shovel arm; andan elongate arm rotatably coupled to the shovel arm at a pivot point and extending from the pivot point distally at an angle away from the shovel arm, the elongate arm comprising an arm handle at a distal end;positioning the shovel handle at a bottom portion of the bag;grasping the shovel handle at the bottom portion of the bag, the shovel handle being disposed within the bag and being grasped from without the bag;positioning the shovel mouth at the opening of the bag, within the bag, and adjacent a first side of the opening of the bag;rotating the elongate arm of the bagging apparatus about a pivot point from the insertion configuration to an operable configuration to create a gap between the shovel mouth and the arm handle to hold the bag open during filling;grasping the arm handle adjacent a second side of the opening of the bag that is opposite the first side of the opening; andscooping the shovel mouth into fill material, the shovel mouth directing fill material into the bag and allowing the fill material to pass into and at least partially fill the bag. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising wrapping a lip of the bag at the opening around the arm handle to secure the bag relative to the bagging apparatus. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein positioning the shovel mouth of the bagging apparatus at the opening of the bag comprises positioning a blade of the shovel mouth proximate the opening of the bag. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein scooping the shovel mouth into the fill material to fill the bag comprises filling the bag in an approximately horizontal orientation. 14. The method of claim 10, further comprising: releasing the grasp on the shovel arm handle; andtilting the arm handle, and also the bagging apparatus within the filled bag, up to an upright orientation to dispose the filled bag in an upright orientation. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising withdrawing the bagging apparatus out of the bag. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the withdrawing the bagging apparatus out of the bag comprises an upward motion to withdraw the shovel handle through the fill material within the bag. 17. The method of claim 10, wherein scooping the shovel mouth into the fill material to fill the bag comprises filling the bag without raising any fill material to a height above the opening of the bag. 18. An apparatus for filling a bag, the apparatus comprising: a shovel comprising: an elongate shovel arm,a shovel handle, anda shovel mouth, wherein: the shovel handle is disposed at a first end of the shovel arm and is configured to be inserted into an opening of the bag and grasped by a user toward a bottom portion of the bag on the outside of the bag, andthe shovel mouth is disposed at a second end of the shovel arm and is configured to be positioned at the opening of the bag, within the bag, and adjacent a first side of the opening of the bag during filling of the bag to collect and direct fill material into the bag;an elongate bagger arm rotatably coupled to the shovel arm at a pivot point and including a bagger arm handle disposed at a second end of the bagger arm, wherein the bagger arm extends from the pivot point away from the shovel arm defining an angle between the bagger arm and the shovel arm and forming a gap between the shovel mouth and the bagger arm handle; andan upper stop configured to limit a rotational range of the bagger arm away from the shovel mouth to an operable configuration in which the angle at which the bagger arm extends from the shovel arm is an acute angle,wherein the bagger arm rotates between an insertion configuration, in which the apparatus has a low profile, in which the gap between the shovel mouth and the bagger arm handle is a first distance, and an operable configuration, in which the gap between the shovel mouth and the bagger arm handle has a second distance, that is greater than the first distance, wherein the bagger arm handle in the operable configuration is configured to be positioned within the bag adjacent a second and opposite side of the opening of the bag to thereby maintain the bag open during filling. 19. The apparatus of claim 18, further comprising: a lower stop configured to limit rotation of the elongate arm toward the bagger shovel to prevent the bagger arm handle from contacting the shovel mouth.
