A carburetor drain apparatus includes a carburetor bowl, a fuel supply pipe, a fuel drain pipe, and a bail interface. The carburetor bowl is configured to store fuel and provide the fuel to an air passage. The fuel supply pipe is connected a fuel tank and the carburetor bowl. The fuel drain pipe is connected to the carburetor bowl. The bail interface is configured to operate in response to actuation of a bail to open the fuel drain pipe.

Disclosed are apparatus and corresponding and/or associated methodology generally relating to lawn mower security systems and more particularly to providing the ability to safeguard ride-on style lawn mowers against unauthorized cranking of its engine if the mowers have push/pull mower deck or power-takeoff (PTO) switch technology. Per some embodiments, presently disclosed security components may be secured to a PTO or mower deck switch to prevent the ability to position such switch in a disengaged position. Therefore, existing safety and interlock features of the existing ride-on mower otherwise prevent someone from being able to crank the mower, which helps to guard against unauthorized use and/or theft of the equipment.

A garden tool includes a power assembly comprising an internal combustion engine having a starter motor; a battery pack for supplying power to the starter motor; a connecting rod assembly having two ends; a working head assembly, the working head assembly and the power assembly being respectively arranged at the two ends of the connecting rod assembly; and a handle assembly including two handles. One of the handles is on a left side of the connecting rod assembly, and another of the handles is on a right side of the connecting rod assembly. The battery pack is detachably assembled on at least one of the handles.

An electric gardening machine is provided, including: a rod portion, including a machine tool head; an operation portion, disposed on the rod portion, including a first assembling portion having a first electrical terminal and a pressing member; and a controlling portion, including a shell body having a second assembling portion detachably assembled with the first assembling portion and a control module disposed in the shell body, a second electrical terminal of the control module being in electrical contact with the first electrical terminal, the control module being switchable by the pressing member to supply power to the machine tool head; wherein the shell body includes a first shell member and a second shell member connected with each other, the second electrical terminal is disposed through the first shell member, and the second assembling portion is disposed on the second shell member.

A traveling control section of a traveling vehicle is configured to effect a normal operation to control an output of an engine when a vehicle speed is below a set vehicle speed, such that the engine output may correspond to an operation amount of an accelerator operating tool and to effect an output suppressing operation when the vehicle speed is equals to or more than the set vehicle speed, such that the vehicle speed may stay below the set vehicle speed, irrespectively of the operation amount of the accelerator operating tool. A fuel ratio in an air-fuel ratio in the output suppressing operation is set smaller than a fuel ratio in an air-fuel ratio in the normal operation.

A carburetor drain apparatus includes a carburetor bowl, a fuel supply pipe, a fuel drain pipe, and a bail interface. The carburetor bowl is configured to store fuel and provide the fuel to an air passage. The fuel supply pipe is connected a fuel tank and the carburetor bowl. The fuel drain pipe is connected to the carburetor bowl. The bail interface is configured to operate in response to actuation of a bail to open the fuel drain pipe.

A lawnmower comprising: a body; a cutting element coupled with the body; a motor configured to drive the cutting element; a sensor comprising an accelerometer configured to detect an angular displacement of the lawnmower with respect to a vertical axis and a wobble of the cutting element with respect to a horizontal plane; and a processor configured to: compare the detected angular displacement against a tilt threshold value; compare the detected wobble against a wobble threshold value; and control an operational speed of the cutting element when the angular displacement exceeds the tilt threshold value or when the wobble exceeds the wobble threshold value.

Mowing systems include a mower and a remote control unit such as a handheld unit, between which is provided 1- or 2-way communications. Components and features are included in the mower, the remote control unit, or both to enhance the safety, functionality, or user experience of the system's user/operator. One aspect relates to an enable switch on the remote control unit that requires activation within a specified time before activating a drive system or PTO unit. Another aspect relates to sharing diagnostic information between the mower and remote control unit and emitting user-detectable warnings in response to the shared information. Another aspect relates to reducing a danger level of the system, e.g. disabling the PTO unit or slowing a drive speed transform function, when a proximity between the mower and the remote control unit is too small. Another aspect relates to controlling operation of the mower based on tilt angles of both the mower and the remote control unit.

A present invention is a charge coil unit, comprising an inductor that generates an induced current based on power of a source of power, a capacitor connected in series to the inductor, and a circuit unit provided to be able to charge the capacitor by the induced current generated in the inductor, thereby, the output voltage of the charge coil unit can be stabilized.

A work machine determines, when a request to restart an engine is made, whether or not a reason indicated by stop information stored in a memory is a reason related to locking of the work portion. The machine sets an operation mode of the engine and a work portion to a safe mode if it determines that the reason indicated by the stop information is a reason related to locking of the work portion. The safe mode is an operation mode for lessening damage resulting from causing the engine and the work portion to work during the work portion locked or damage resulting from an object coming into contact with the work portion during the engine and the work portion working.
