ABSTRACT:
A latching mechanism is described for removably mounting a handlebar to a lawn and yard implement. Also described is a powered lawn and yard implement for removing trash or like material from a lawn or yard and discharging the material into a wheeled pushcart. The implement includes a wheel supported housing to which the wheeled pushcart is releasably connected. A chute assembly directs trash from the housing into an upwardly open bin of the pushcart. The pushcart includes an elongated support roller and a pushbar assembly that facilitate independent movement of the pushcart assembly when detached from the housing. The housing includes a latching mechanism that may be operated from one side of the housing to secure or release the pushcart relative to the housing. Also associated with the latching mechanism is a deflector assembly that operates in response to operation of the latching assembly to open or close the discharge chute leading to the open bin. When the pushcart is detached from the housing, the deflector mechanism is located in position to prevent discharge of material through the chute. When the cart is attached to the housing, the latch mechanism and associated deflector mechanism are moved to positions wherein the latch mechanism releasably locks the pushcart to the housing and the deflector mechanism opens to become an integral part of the chute means, guiding discharged trash into the attached cart.
