ABSTRACT:
A collector cart includes a body having an open rear end, which is closed by a canopy pivotally mounted adjacent its front end on the body adjacent its front end. The body has a support pivotally connected to caster wheel supports and a tow bar attached to a riding lawn mower hitch plate. Telescoping chutes connect the mower outlet with a canopy port to fill the cart with debris. When the cart is to be dumped, a first handle is rotated by an operator, who remains on the mower, to initially cause pivoting of a rear portion of a frame of the canopy, which includes a cover on the frame, relative to the body and the remainder of the canopy frame to release a locking connection of the rear portion of the canopy frame to the rear of the body. After the release is accomplished, a second handle is rotated by the operator to release the body from its tow bar with continued rotation of the second handle by the operator causing the body to pivot to a dumping position while the canopy pivots away from the body due to a rope of a fixed length connecting the top front portion of the canopy frame to the mower or a rod of a fixed length connecting the top front portion of the canopy frame to the tow bar.
