ABSTRACT:
In the combination of a rotary lawn mower, an improved mounting for an air impermeable bag is disclosed. The standard rotary lawn mower includes a rotating blade for cutting and blowing grass upwardly, a housing overlying the ground and surrounding the rotating blade for confining the upwardly blown cut grass about the rotating blade, a discharge aperture defined by the housing for permitting the upwardly blown grass to be discharged from the housing in a confined stream of air and cut grass, and an exhaust aperture from the bag for permitting air discharge from the air impermeable bag. The improved mounting for the air impermeable bag includes an underlying support attached to and supported over the ground from the rotatory lawn mower for receiving from above the air impermeable bag and supporting the bag above the ground. A bag stabilizing member fastens to the upper end of the bag at one end and is hinged with respect to the lawn mower at the mount for movement towards and away from the mount. When the bag is inflated during operation of the mower, the bag inflates and the arm pivots from the mount to a bag support position overlying the mount with the bag there between. As a consequence, the inflated bag is securely held to the operating mower during the necessary maneuvering in cutting grass.
