ABSTRACT:
An improvement for a lawn mower of the type that propels clippings and a stream of air from its cutting area which improvement allows it to collect the clippings in a horizontally disposed plastic trash bag is disclosured. Transfer means, a plate with an opening sized to the mower discharge chute, is releasably mounted on the mower against the chute to receive the clipping and stream of air and pass them through it in one direction. The plate defines a vent opening to allow air to vent in the opposite direction and has means for releasably affixing the disposable bag's opening's marginal areas in a generally vertical plane such that the bag encloses both the vent and clipping openings, so that clipping and air air propelled into the horizontally disposable bag and air is vented from it. Several embodiments of transfer plate are disclosed to retrofit different mowers and several embodiments of different means for affixing the bag are disclosed including a rectangular bracket that sandwiches the plastic against a conformingly shaped channel in the plate and is held there by spring clips and a horizontal groove or channel that receives a spring loaded chain or shock cord. A safety container is provided mounted to the mower and its handle that supports and substantially surrounds the plastic bag. This container has its top formed to be openable so as to be able to remove filled bags and replace new ones. The safety container has a pocket for holding and carrying a supply of empty plastic trash bags.
