ABSTRACT:
A closed-loop lawn mower vacuum apparatus which utilizes the centrifugal forces created by a rotating grass cutting blade to impel grass clippings and other solid debris through an exhaust chute to be automatically deposited in a fully enclosed, rigid, one-piece grass catcher. The grass clippings and other solid debris are entrained in a flow of air which is forced into the grass catcher. The air within the grass catcher is returned beneath the mower through a return chute, and recirculated through the closed loop system to remove any debris still entrained in the air flow. The inlet port of the return chute and the grass catcher are shaped so that solids will automatically be removed from the air flow within the grass catcher. Also, the discharge port of the return chute, located beneath the lawn mower deck, is partially enclosed by a shroud which directs the flow of solids out of the grass catcher so as to be recirculated through the system, and not left uncollected on the lawn surface.
