ABSTRACT:

STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT
Not applicable.
REFERENCE TO MICROFICHE APPENDIX
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of lawn mower accessories, and more particularly to a strap for holding the engine kill bar adjacent the handle bar of a lawn mower.
2. Description of Related Art
As can be seen by reference to the following U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,712,766; 4,874,151; 5,240,226 and 5,347,835 the prior art is replete with myriad and diverse holding straps.
While all of the aforementioned prior art constructions are more than adequate for the basic purpose and function for which they have been specifically designed, they are uniformly deficient with respect to their failure to provide a simple, efficient and practical strap for holding the engine kill bar of a lawn mower in the operating position.
As a consequence of the foregoing situation, there has existed a longstanding need for a new and improved engine kill bar holding strap and the provision of such a construction is a stated objective of the present invention.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Briefly stated, the present invention provides an engine kill bar strap for holding the kill bar in the operating position adjacent the lawn mower handle. The strap includes a set of snap fasteners at one end spaced to engage when wrapped around the handle bar, and a set of hook and loop fasteners at the other end spaced to engage when wrapped around both the kill bar and the handle bar of the lawn mower.
