to allow a return to a storage position in complete safety.

21. Device according to claim 1,
characterised in that the piece of equipment is a lawnmower, a bush-cutter, a rotary mower, a scarifier, a shredder, a suction machine or a fruit collector.

22. Lawnmower comprising a carrier frame (21) which is provided with a drive motor (22), two front wheels (23), two rear wheels (24) and a central cutting casing (25), in which there are mounted at least two blades which rotate about an axis (27) which is sub-stantially perpendicular to the ground, the at least two blades producing a flow of air and waste which is discharged radially under the effect of a centrifugal force in the direction of a discharge opening (28),

characterised in that it further comprises a device for filling a bag with plant waste which is conveyed by a flow produced by the lawnmower, comprising a rigid structure (1) which is associated with the piece of equipment (T) and which is inserted into the bag and supports the bag (8), the rigid structure (1) allowing the internal space of the bag to be partitioned into a compartment (4) which is dedicated to being filled with plant waste and a compartment (5) which is dedicated to the discharge of the air which conveys the plant waste, that device being mounted near the outlet opening (28), the rigid structure (1) comprising at least two panels which comprise a common side and which are substantially perpendicular relative to each other, that is to say, a first inlet panel (2) which is for an air/elements flow and which comprises an opening (6) and to which there is partially fixed the bag (8) so as to form the filling space (4) and a second outlet panel (3, 21) for an air flow which is inserted into the bag (8) and which comprises openings (9) which are shaped so as to allow the air flow to be
