ABSTRACT:
A mulching rotary lawn mower which returns cut grass particles into a lawn wherein the mower is designed with an open air flow system. The mower comprises a rotary blade pivotally mounted beneath a deck. The deck includes an opening therein, providing an outlet for air drawn beneath the deck by the rotating blade and the grass clippings which are cut by the blade. A curved deflector is positioned proximate the blade to redirect the air and grass clippings exiting the opening. The air and clippings are redirected back beneath the deck, where the air drawn beneath the deck raises the clippings toward the blade where they are cut into tiny particles driven into the lawn and soil below.
