ABSTRACT:
The grass catcher includes a disposable perforated catcher bag for connection to the discharge chute of a lawn mower. A catcher housing supports and surrounds the perforated bag in a manner which protects the mower operator and bystanders from being hit by projectiles which may pierce the bag. The housing includes a solid base pan which hooks onto the mower rear axle and a vertical shield which is hinged to the base and hooks onto a portion of the mower handle. A hood is hinged to the mower housing in a manner allowing it to cover the base pan and bag or be swung forward on the mower to expose the catcher bag. The shield can be unhooked and laid flat to provide greater exposure to the catcher bag. The mounting for the catcher allows for some vertical movement brought about by contact between the catcher base pan and the ground caused by the mower traversing rough or uneven terrain.
