Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable continuation of grass mowing without interruption and improve operating efficiency by leaving a containing bag from a support pedes tal to stand on the ground when interior of the containing bag is filled with cut grass and then holding the upper opening edge part of a reserve containing bag. CONSTITUTION:The upper opening edge of a cut grass containing bag 2 is held with a holding mechanism 3 and the bottom thereof is simultaneously supported with a support pedestal 5. The periphery of the opening and the upper part are covered with a cover 4. The cut grass transferred with a transfer cylinder 1 is guided from a cut grass discharging port (1a) into the cover 4. When the interior of the cut grass containing bag 2 is filled with the cut grass, the holding of the holding mechanism 3 is released to leave the containing bag 2 from the support pedestal 5 to stand on the ground surface. The upper opening edge of a reserve containing bag 2 is then held with the holding mecha nism 3. Thereby, the grass mowing operation is continued.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a grass collecting device for a grass cutter.

BACKGROUND ART AND PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION A grass collecting device for a lawn mower having a structure in which a container for storing grass clippings from the discharge port is provided at a grass clippings discharge port portion of a transfer tube for transporting cut grass clippings. During normal mowing work, when the container is full of grass clippings, it is necessary to move the mower to a predetermined location each time, discharge the grass clippings from the container, and then return to the original mid-mowing point. These moving operations for discharging require labor and time, and therefore may reduce work efficiency.

Means for Solving the Problems This invention provides a holding mechanism 3 for holding the opening upper edge of a grass clippings storage bag 2 at a grass clippings discharge port 1a of a transfer cylinder 1 for transferring cut grass clippings, and a holding mechanism 3 for holding the opening upper edge of a grass clippings storage bag 2. A grass collecting device for a lawn mower is provided with a cover 4 that covers the periphery and upper part of the bag, and a support stand 5 below the cover 4 that supports the bottom of the grass clippings storage bag 2 when storing the grass clippings. do.

Function of the Invention The grass clippings storage bag 2 is held at the upper edge of the opening by a holding mechanism 3, supported at the bottom by a support stand 5, and covered with a cover 4 around and above the opening.

The grass clippings transferred by the transfer tube 1 are guided from the grass clippings discharge port 1a to the cover 4 and stored in the grass clippings storage bag 2. When the storage bag 2 is full of grass clippings, release the holding mechanism 3, leave the storage bag 2 on the ground from the support stand 5, and then open the upper edge of the spare storage bag 2. After the grass is held by the holding mechanism 3, the mowing work is continued.

Effects of the Invention Due to this action, as in the previous problem, when the container is full of grass clippings, instead of moving back and forth between the mid-mowing point and the discharge location to discharge each time, the storage bag is Since it is only necessary to leave the mowing machine 2 in the middle of mowing when the mowing machine is full, time loss is reduced and the efficiency of mowing work can be improved.

In the example, on the side, a pair of left and right front wheels 7.7 and rear wheels 8.8
A bonnet 10 containing a prime mover is provided at the front part of the chassis 9 on which a motor is mounted, and the rear end of this bonnet 10 has
A handle 11 for steering the front wheels 7.7 is provided obliquely, and a pair of left and right fenders 12, 12 are provided at the rear of the chassis 9 to cover the upper and inner sides of the rear wheels 8, 8, respectively. ,
A pilot seat 13 for a passenger is provided between these fenders 12, 12.

A mowing device 15 for cutting grass is suspended from the lower end of a parallel link 14.14 pivotally connected between the rear wheels 7.7 and 8.8 at the front of the chassis 9. A support frame 16 that projects upward and downward from the chassis 9 is provided at the end.

On the rear side of the upper end of the support frame 16, there are both front and rear throwing rod parts 3a, 3a.
A support rod for the holding mechanism 3 is provided, which includes both left and right short rod portions 3b, 3b, and these long rod portions 3a3a are provided with four pairs of front and rear arms 17, 17, 1717.17, 17, 17.17.
protrudes upward, and these pair of left and right arms 17.
Both left and right ends of the clip 1a, which come into contact with the inside of the long rod part 3a by downward rotation, are pivotally attached to the upper part of the arm 17. A spring 19 is provided to resiliently bias the rod portion 3a.

Further, at the upper end of the support frame 16, the support rods 3a, 3
A cover 4 that covers the outer periphery and upper part of the mowers a, 3b, and 3b is pivotally mounted so as to be pivotable upward, and a hole provided in the right side wall of the cover 4 and the rear end of the mowing device 15 are provided with a , a transfer tube 1 for transferring the grass cut by the mowing device 15 into the cover 4 is provided, and the lower end of the support frame 16 is provided with the front and rear clips 1a. A support stand 5 is provided to protrude rearward and support the bottom of the grass clippings storage bag 2 whose upper edge of the opening is held between the openings 1a. 1a is the cut grass discharge port of the transfer tube 1, 20 is the discharge port 1a
This is a guide net that guides the grass clippings discharged from the storage bag 2 to the opening of the storage bag 2.

Note that the grass clippings storage bag 2 may be a so-called garbage bag, a paper bag, or the like, which is a plastic bag used in general households.

Next, the effect will be explained. Grass cut by the mowing device 15 as the vehicle travels is guided to the guide net 20 through the transfer cylinder 1 and the discharge port 1a, and is stored in the grass clippings storage bag 2.

When the storage bag 2 is full of grass clippings, the cover 4 is rotated forward to release the clips 1a. After releasing the holding bag 1a and leaving the storage bag 2 on the ground from the support stand 5, the spare storage bag 2
Clip 1a. 1a and rotate the cover 4 backward to continue mowing work.
