Bracket System for Optional Sweeping Accessory for Lawn Mower and Method of Use Thereof
A bracket system for attaching a brush to the blades of a rotary lawn mower. The bracket system has a brush attachment, at least one clamp, and a fastening device. The brush attachment has a brush, an elongated vertical slot, and a flange. The at least one clamp is placed around a non-linear lawn mower blade and is secured to the flange by the fastening device. Securing the clamp to the flange by the fastening device secures the brush attachment to the non-linear mower blade. Securing or removing the fastening device allows the attachment or removal of the brush attachment from the clamps, and thus the non-linear mower blade. In another embodiment, the bracket system includes a blade attachment configured to removably attach to the at least one clamp. The blade attachment is positioned on the opposite end of the non-linear lawn mower blade from the brush attachment.
Implement Carrier
The present disclosure relates to an implement carrier 1 comprising an implement carrier body 3 driven by a driving arrangement 5 and configured for connecting alternatingly with at least a first 7 and a second 9 implement. The implement carrier further comprises at least one sensor module 11 adapted for scanning at least a portion of the area surrounding the implement carrier 1 and a connected implement 7, 9, such as containing ultrasound sensors and the like. A moveable sensor module arm 13 is provided, having a proximal end 15 connected to the implement carrier body 3, wherein the sensor module 11 is arranged on the sensor module arm at a distance from the proximal end 15. This allows for a flexible placing of the sensor module11 with regard to the implement carrier 1.
BAGGING APPARATUS FOR HIGH-EFFICIENCY LAWN MAINTENANCE TOOL
A high efficiency turf maintenance apparatus having low power consumption and good cutting performance including a bagging apparatus for turf clippings is presented herein. A blade configuration is disclosed to provide lift and to propel turf clippings from a mow deck to the bagging apparatus. Further, the blade configuration can be implemented with minimal increase in power consumption, allowing the bagging apparatus to be utilized with an electric motor power source with little or no impact on battery life.
