ABSTRACT:
A universal grass catcher which may be used with lawnmowers having grass discharge openings from the sides of the decks thereof, which may be of different size and have different attachment means, such as a hook or spaced pins which are mounted on the deck adjacent to the discharge opening. An adjustable frame which can be contracted or expanded to match the size of the discharge opening is attached to arms which carry the grass collecting bag. The open end of the bag is fastened around the frame. A support plate is mounted to the frame and may be connected between outer ends of the arms. The support plate projects perpendicular to the frame and rests on the deck. The support plate has a slot which receives the hook or the pins. A stop plate is moveably mounted on the support plate and has a slot which is aligned with the slot in the support plate. This stop plate is located on the support plate so that an edge thereof and one end of the slot in the support plate define a slot length about equal to the length of the hook. When a hook attachment is used on the mower it receives one of the pins of a dual pin attachment. The stop plate prevents movement of the grass catcher assembly once it is positioned on the lawnmower deck. Since practically all lawnmowers have hook or pin attachments, the grass catcher is universally useful with almost all types of lawnmowers.
