ABSTRACT:
A lock mechanism for push lawn mowers of the type having a secondary operations handle which must be moved into a position adjacent the lawn mower handle in order to engage the starting mechanism of the lawn mower, the apparatus comprising at least a first and second body members joined at a hinged portion, each body member formed into a substantial semi-circular pattern for defining a channel in each body member, so that as the body members are moved from the open to the closed position, the channels would define a circular bore through the body members that would encircle the primary handle of the lawn mower; a tab at the end of each of the body members, a tab having an opening there through, so that when the body members are closed, the openings in the tab align for accommodating a padlock therethrough, the body members once engaged around the handle of the lawn mower define a barrier which the second handle would engage when pulled towards the primary handle, so that the secondary handle is prevented from moving adjacent and against the primary handle and therefore avoiding the starting of the lawn mower.
