Abstract

The present invention relates to a grass-collecting basket for a lawnmower. The basket is characterised in that it is equipped, on the one hand, at the base of its orifice 19 fastening it to the ejection channel, with a flat pallet or scoop 20 inclined forwards and extending in said channel into the vicinity of the circle described by the cutting blade and, on the other hand, in its upper part, with an emptying orifice 21 having, on its side furthest away from the fastening orifice, a curved rim interacting with a complementarily curved rim 23 of a cover, fixed to the base of the handlebar and pivotable, serving as a deflector in the event that the basket 3 is not used.

Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine de la construction de tondeuses à gazon, en particulier à lames de coupe tournantes autour d'un axe vertical, et a pour objet un panier de ramassage d'herbe pour une telle tondeuse à gazon. The present invention relates to the field of construction of lawn mowers, in particular with cutting blades rotating around a vertical axis, and relates to a grass collection basket for such a lawn mower.

Les tondeuses à gazon de ce type sont généralement constituées par un carter enveloppant le champ d'action de la lame de coupe et conduisant l'herbe coupée à travers un canal d'éjection vers l'extérieur du carter dans un réceptacle de ramassage, ou encore sur des andains, par un moteur d'entraînement de la lame de coupe, par un guidon de manoeuvre de la tondeuse pouvant etre muni d'un ou de plusieurs organes de commande du moteur et/ou du dispositif d'entraînement de la tondeuse, et par un réceptacle de ramassage de l'herbe coupée disposé derrière le carter ou latéralement à ce dernier. Lawn mowers of this type generally consist of a casing enveloping the field of action of the cutting blade and leading the cut grass through an ejection channel to the outside of the casing in a collection receptacle, or also on windrows, by a motor for driving the cutting blade, by a handlebar for operating the mower which may be fitted with one or more motor control members and / or the mower drive device , and by a cut grass collection receptacle disposed behind the casing or laterally to the latter.

Dans ces tondeuses connues, les réceptacles de ramassage d'herbe, qui consistent en des paniers rigides ou sou ples, munis d'une ouverture de branchement et d'accrochage sur le canal d'éjection d'herbe du carter et d'un couvercle pour leur vidage, présentent l'inconvénient de nécessiter un dispositif de verrouillage du couvercle en position de service, qui renchérit d'autant leur prix de revient, et un bourrage du canal d'éjection après remplissage du réceptacle est quasi-inévitable. In these known mowers, the grass collection receptacles, which consist of rigid or flexible baskets, provided with a connection and attachment opening on the grass ejection channel of the casing and with a cover for their emptying, have the drawback of requiring a device for locking the cover in the service position, which increases their cost price all the more, and a jamming of the ejection channel after filling of the receptacle is almost inevitable.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients. The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.

Elle a, en effet, pour objet un panier de ramassage d'herbe pour tondeuse à gazon, essentiellement constituée par un carter enveloppant le champ d'action d'une lame de coupe tournante à axe vertical et conduisant l'herbe coupée travers un canal d'éjection vers un réceptacle de ramassage ou panier, par un moteur d'entraînement de la lame de coupe, et par des dispositifs de commande, sous forme d'un guidon de manoeuvre de la tondeuse et d'organes de commande du moteur et/ou du dispositif d'entrainement de la tondeuse, caractérise en ce qu'il est pourvu, d'une part, à la base de son ouverture de fixation sur le canal d'éjection, d'une palette ou écope plate inclinée vers lavant et s'étendant dans ledit canal jusqu'à proximité du cercle décrit par la lame de coupe, et, d'autre part, à sa partie supérieure, d'une ouverture de vidage présentant sur son côté le plus éloigné de l'ouverture de fixation un rebord recourbé coopérant avec un rebord recourbé de manière complémentaire d'un couvercle solidaire de la base du guidon et pivotable, servant de déflecteur en cas de non-utilisation du panier. It has, in effect, for a grass collection basket for lawn mower, essentially constituted by a casing enveloping the field of action of a rotating cutting blade with vertical axis and leading the cut grass through a channel ejection to a collection receptacle or basket, by a motor for driving the cutting blade, and by control devices, in the form of a handlebar for operating the mower and engine control members; and / or the mower drive device, characterized in that it is provided, on the one hand, at the base of its fixing opening on the ejection channel, with a pallet or flat scoop inclined towards the front and extending in said channel to near the circle described by the cutting blade, and, on the other hand, at its upper part, a discharge opening having on its side furthest from the opening of fixing a curved edge cooperating with a curved edge in a complementary manner to a cover e integral with the base of the handlebar and swivel, serving as a deflector in the event of non-use of the basket.

L'invention sera mieux comprise grâce à la description ci-après, qui se rapporte à un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et expliqué avec référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, dans lesquels la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une tondeuse à gazon munie du panier conforme à l'invention ; la figure 2 est une vue partielle en perspective de la partie inférieure du guidon avec son organe de blocage la figure 3 est une vue en perspective montrant la fixation d'un boîtier d'organe de commande la figure 4 est une vue en perspective d'un panier de ramassage d'herbe conforme à l'invention, et la figure 5 est une vue partielle en coupe du panier au niveau de la fermeture et du maintien au moyen du couvercle. The invention will be better understood thanks to the description below, which relates to a preferred embodiment of the invention, given by way of nonlimiting example, and explained with reference to the appended schematic drawings, in which the figure 1 is a perspective view of a lawn mower provided with the basket according to the invention; Figure 2 is a partial perspective view of the lower part of the handlebar with its locking member Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the attachment of a control member housing Figure 4 is a perspective view of a grass collection basket according to the invention, and Figure 5 is a partial sectional view of the basket at the level of closure and maintenance by means of the cover.

La figure 1 des dessins annexés représente une tondeuse à gazon à lame de coupe tournante autour d'un axe vertical, constituée par un carter 1 enveloppant le champ d'action de ladite lame de coupe et conduisant l'herbe coupée à travers un canal d'éjection 2 vers un réceptacle de ramassage ou panier 3, par un-moteur 4 d'entraînement de la lame de coupe, et par des dispositifs de commande, sous forme d'un guidon 5 de manoeuvre de la tondeuse, et d'un organe 6 de commande du moteur 4 ou d'un dispositif d'entraînement de la tondeuse. Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings shows a lawn mower with a cutting blade rotating about a vertical axis, constituted by a casing 1 enveloping the field of action of said cutting blade and leading the cut grass through a channel d ejection 2 to a collection receptacle or basket 3, by a motor 4 for driving the cutting blade, and by control devices, in the form of a handlebar 5 for operating the mower, and a member 6 for controlling the engine 4 or a device for driving the mower.

Conformément à l'invention, le panier 3 de ramassage d'herbe, représenté plus particulièrement dans la figure 4, est muni à sa partie avant, à la base de son ouverture 19 de fixation sur le canal d'éjection 2, d'une palette ou écope plate 20, qui est inclinée vers l'avant et qui pénètre dans ledit canal 2 jusqu'aux abords immédiats du cercle décrit par la lame de coupe. Ainsi, l'écope 20 favorise un meilleur ramassage de l'herbe et son guidage vers l'intérieur du panier 3. Par ailleurs, cette écope 20 permet également de dégager le bouchon d'herbe bourrant le canal 2 à la fin du remplissage du panier 3 sans intervention manuelle, ou autre, dans ledit canal 2, pouvant être une cause d'accident. According to the invention, the grass collection basket 3, shown more particularly in FIG. 4, is provided at its front part, at the base of its opening 19 for fixing on the ejection channel 2, with a pallet or flat scoop 20, which is inclined forward and which penetrates into said channel 2 to the immediate surroundings of the circle described by the cutting blade. Thus, the scoop 20 promotes better picking up of the grass and its guiding towards the interior of the basket 3. Furthermore, this scoop 20 also makes it possible to release the plug of grass filling the channel 2 at the end of filling the basket 3 without manual or other intervention in said channel 2, which may be a cause of accident.

Le panier 3 est pourvu, en outre, à sa partie supérieure, d'une ouverture de vidage 21, qui est pourvue sur son côté le plus éloigné de l'ouverture 19 d'un rebord 22 (figure 5) recourbé, qui coopère avec un rebord 23 recourbé de manière complémentaire d'un couvercle 24 solidaire de la base du guidon 5 et pivotable, ce couvercle 24 servant également de déflecteur en cas de non-utilisation du panier 3. The basket 3 is further provided, at its upper part, with an emptying opening 21, which is provided on its side furthest from the opening 19 with a curved flange 22 (FIG. 5), which cooperates with a flange 23 curved in a complementary manner with a cover 24 secured to the base of the handlebar 5 and pivotable, this cover 24 also serving as a deflector in the event of the basket 3 not being used.

Le couvercle 24 est avantageusement monté de manière pivotable sur la base du guidon 5 par l'intermédiaire de l'axe 11 de l'organe de blocage à excentrique 10. Grâce à ce mode de réalisation, lors du transport et du stockage, le couvercle 24 pourra être intégré dans l'élément formé par le guidon 5 replié et pourra donc être introduit dans le môme emballage d'expédition. De plus, du fait de cette disposition l'encombrement en longueur de la tondeuse peut ôtre sensiblement réduit et permet ainsi également un gain de place important au stockage et pendant le transport. The cover 24 is advantageously pivotally mounted on the base of the handlebar 5 by means of the axis 11 of the eccentric locking member 10. Thanks to this embodiment, during transport and storage, the cover 24 can be integrated into the element formed by the folded handlebars 5 and can therefore be introduced into the same shipping packaging. In addition, because of this arrangement the overall length of the mower can be significantly reduced and thus also allows a significant saving of space during storage and during transport.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté aux dessins annexés. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown in the accompanying drawings.

Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments, ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention. Modifications remain possible, in particular from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements, or by substitution of technical equivalents, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
