ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a collecting assembly for grass cuttings, clippings, various debris, etc. and it is designed primarily to be used in combination with a cutting machine. The cutting machine may be a riding mower or a push or walk behind type. A storage means including a removable container element for receiving the debris is arranged in fluid communication with a negative pressure source which may be a vacuum-type pump or impeller element disposed in fluid communication with the storage means to create a negative pressure therein. Conduit means interconnects the cutting deck or cutting area of the cutting machine with the storage means wherein the cutting area, conduit means, storage means and negative pressure source means are all arranged in fluid communication so as to substantially define a negative fluid flow pressure throughout the system. Fluid flow is accordingly directed from the cutting area along with the debris entrained in said fluid flow into the storage area. Filter means is positioned in path interruptive relation between the interior of the storage means and the negative pressure source so as to allow filtered or debris free air from leaving the storage means and exiting to atmosphere through direction of the negative pressure source.
