Definitions

  • Such boxes hitherto have been essentially rigid, and commonly the box consists of two metal or wooden sides or ends and a bent sheet of metal or wood (such for example as plywood) attached to and extending between said ends. It will therefore be appreciated that such a box, when packed for transport, occupies considerable space and if it is not to be scratched or damaged needs a substantial packing case to accommodate it.
  • the present invention has for the object the provision of a grass-box which by reason of its construction occupies less space for transport and does not necessitate a bulky container, and which may be folded up into a small space for the convenience of the user when. it is not required.
  • a folding grass-box for a lawnmower is of trough-like form when erected, and has the top and bottom walls of the box hinged to fold towards one another, and the end walls hinged to fold inwards.
  • the end walls are hinged at an intermediate level in their height, while in order to secure the parts in their erected position there are releasable fastenings between the end walls and the top wall.
  • the grass-box is of trough-like form (the mouth of the trough being presented towardsthe left).
  • the end walls are indicated generally at l3 and may be of wood, such as plywood, or a plastic (as may also the top and bottom walls). They are arranged in part to fold inwards. As shown, they consist of upper and lower parts I 3a, l3b, respectively hinged together by hinges l5 so that 5 Claims. (Cl. 56199 Y the line H, thelower parts l3b being rigidlyfixed to the base l0.
