Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a grass storage device for a mower.

2. Related Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention At the rear end of a traveling vehicle body, a frame body including a support frame having a square shape in a front view and a plate portion that covers the inside of the support frame is erected. In the lower half, a mesh-like bag body whose upper side and front side are open, and a bag frame that supports this open peripheral part along this peripheral part are provided rotatably so that the open front part faces downward. The upper part of the bag frame is provided with a cloth bag-like cover having an open front and lower side, and a cover frame for supporting the open edge along the peripheral edge. Align the front side of the cover frame along the back side of the support frame,
In addition, when the support frame and the cover frame are configured to be in contact with each other, the support frame and the cover frame are usually formed with low accuracy such as a tube material, so that a gap is easily generated between the support frame and the cover frame. Grass may be scattered.

Means for Solving the Problems According to the present invention, a frame 2 composed of a support frame 2a having a square shape in a front view and a plate portion 2b covering the inside of the support frame 2a is erected at the rear end of the traveling vehicle body 1, In the lower half of the frame 2, a mesh-like bag 3 a having an open upper side and a front side, and a bag frame 3 supporting the open peripheral portion along the peripheral portion, the open front portion is directed downward. The bag frame 3 is provided with a cloth sack-shaped cover 4a having an open front side and a lower side, and a cover frame 4 for supporting the open peripheral portion along the peripheral portion. A mowing grass storage device, wherein an elastic member 5 is provided at a contact portion of the cover frame 4 with the support frame 2a to prevent the mowing grass from being scattered between the frames 4 and 2a. The structure of the mowing grass storage device is adopted.

Functions and Effects of the Invention As described above, the elastic member 5 is provided at the contact portion between the cover frame 4 and the support frame 2a, instead of simply contacting the cover frame with the support frame. Thus, a gap is hardly generated, and therefore, the grass inside the cloth sack-shaped cover 4a is prevented from scattering outside.

When the mesh bag 3a supported by the bag frame 3 is rotated downward together with the bag frame 3, the cut grass in the mesh bag 3a is dropped and discharged from the open portion of the bag body 3a.

Embodiment In the example shown in the drawings, the vehicle has a pair of left and right front wheels (not shown) and rear wheels 7, 7, and runs with a cutting device 8 for cutting grass between the front and rear wheels 7, 7. A vehicle body 1 is provided, and a pair of left and right support punches 9, 9 having a ring-shaped stopper 9 a are projected upward from a rear end portion of the traveling vehicle body 1.

The left and right support punches 9, 9 are provided with mounting tools 10, 10 which are fitted to the support punches 9, 9 from above and are engaged with the stoppers 9a, 9a, respectively. On the rear side, the attachment 10,
A frame body 2 consisting of a square plate portion 2b in a front view and a support frame 2a formed along the outer peripheral edge of the plate portion 2b is erected on the right and left sides of the support frame 2a. A pair of left and right shaft supports 12, 12 each having a left-right support pin 11 at its rear end is provided to project rearward.

A pair of left and right hooks 13, 13 opening forward is suspended from the inwardly projecting portions of the support pins 11, 11, and these hooks 13,
The rear end of the hook 13 is connected to the lower end of the hook 13.
And a frame portion 3b formed along the inside of the support frame 2a from the front ends of the frame portions 3b, 3b. Supports the mesh-like bag 3a whose upper side and front side are open.

The outer protruding portions of the support pins 11, 11 have supports 14, 14, which are rotatably supported by the protruding portions.
A rear cover frame 4 is formed along the outside of b, 3b, and the support pins 11, 11 have inwardly projecting support members 15, 15 which are rotatably supported by these projecting bases. Then, the cover frame 4 formed to be superposed on the rear side of the support frame 2a is provided.

Further, a fastening portion 4b which is wound around and fastened to the front cover frame 4 and is fastened to the cloth sack-shaped cover 4a whose peripheral edge is supported by the front cover frame 4 and the rear cover frame 4; Wearing part
Elastic member 5 made by projecting the same cloth member forward from 4b
The support pins 11 and 11 are provided with an intermediate cover frame 16 for tensioning and supporting the upper rear end corner of the cloth bag-shaped cover 4a.

On the rear side of the rear cover frame 4, a pair of right and left support members 18, 18 having a left-right support pin 17 at an upper end portion are protruded upward, and a lower end is provided on the support pin 17. An operation lever 19 whose part is bent backward is provided rotatably, and a connecting part of the frame parts 3b, 3b is provided with a bending part of this lever 19 by a front rotation operation of the operation lever 19. An engaging member 20 having a gate shape in plan view to be engaged is provided.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a transfer cylinder for transferring the cut grass cut by the mowing device 8 to the inside of the bag body 3a via the cover 4a, reference numeral 22 denotes a fender covering the rear wheels 7, 7 above, and reference numeral 23 denotes a cockpit of a passenger.

Next, the operation will be described. The grass cut by the mowing device 8 as the traveling vehicle body 1 travels is stored in the bag 3a via the transfer cylinder 21 and the cover 4a.

When the front cover frame 4 is rotated backward about the support shafts 11 and 11, the front upper portion of the bag body 3a is opened, and the front cover frame 4 is opened.
Is rotated forward, the upper portion of the front of the bag body 3a is closed, and at this time, the protrusion 4c of the cloth member is elastically deformed, and the gap between the support frame 2a and the front cover frame 4 is closed.

When the operating lever 19 is operated upward, the rear cover frame 4 rotates upward around the support shafts 11 and 11, the upper rear portion of the bag 3a is opened, and the rear cover frame 4 rotates downward.
