Abstract

The present invention relates to a container in the form of a deflecting bin for a self-supporting lawnmower. The container is characterised in that it is fitted with pivoting anchoring points 3, 3' aligned with its centre of gravity and interacting with reception means for the lawnmower located substantially above the rotation axis 4, 4' of the drive wheels 2, 2' and in that, by tilting through 180 DEG about its anchoring points 3, 3', it forms a deflector for the cut grass.

Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des tondeuses à gazon, en particulier des tondeuses autoportées, et a pour objet un réceptacle sous forme d'une benne-déflecteur pour tondeuse autoportée. The present invention relates to the field of lawn mowers, in particular ride-on mowers, and relates to a receptacle in the form of a deflector bucket for ride-on mowers.

Actuellement, les tondeuses existantes de ce type sont généralement pourvues d'un déflecteur destiné à rabattre l'herbe coupée vers le sol à côté ou derrière ladite tondeuse. Par ailleurs sont utilisés des dispositifs de transport, le plus souvent sous forme d'une remorque, la tondeuse autoportée étant alors utilisée comme tracteur. On connaît, par ailleurs, des tondeuses autoportées pouvant être munies d'un réceptacle fixe, pour le transport de petites charges. Currently, existing mowers of this type are generally provided with a deflector intended to fold the cut grass towards the ground next to or behind said mower. In addition, transport devices are used, most often in the form of a trailer, the riding mower then being used as a tractor. We also know of ride-on mowers that can be fitted with a fixed receptacle for transporting small loads.

Ces dispositifs connus, équipant les tondeuses autoportées, ne peuvent, cependant, pas être combinés afin de réaliser un moyen permettant, soit de guider l'herbe coupée vers le sol, soit de transporter de petites charges. These known devices, equipping ride-on mowers, cannot, however, be combined in order to provide a means allowing either to guide the cut grass towards the ground, or to transport small loads.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients. The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.

Elle a, en effet, pour objet un réceptacle de transport de petites charges, en.forme de benne, positionné entre les roues arrière motrices d'une tondeuse autoportée caractérisé en ce qu'il est muni de points d'ancrage pivotant alignés avec son centre de gravité et coopérant avec des moyens de réception de la tondeuse situés sensiblement au-dessus de l'axe de rotation des roues motrices, et en ce que, par basculement de 1800 autour de ses points d'ancrage, il forme un déflecteur pour l'herbe coupée. Its purpose is in fact a receptacle for transporting small loads, in the form of a bucket, positioned between the rear driving wheels of a ride-on mower, characterized in that it is provided with pivoting anchor points aligned with its center of gravity and cooperating with means for receiving the mower located substantially above the axis of rotation of the drive wheels, and in that, by tilting 1800 around its anchor points, it forms a deflector for cut grass.

L'invention sera mieux comprise grâce à la description ci-après, qui se rapporte à un mode de réalisation préféré, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et expliqué avec référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, dans lesquels
la figure 1 est une vue en élévation latérale d'une tondeuse autoportée munie d'une benne-déflecteur conforme à l'invention, utilisée en tant que benne
la figure 2 est une vue en élévation frontale par l'arrière suivant la figure 1
la figure 3 est une vue analogue à celle de la figure 1 de la benne utilisée en tant que déflecteur, et
la figure 4 est une vue analogue à celles des figures 1 et 3 de la benne en position de vidange.
The invention will be better understood thanks to the description below, which relates to a preferred embodiment, given by way of nonlimiting example, and explained with reference to the appended schematic drawings, in which
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a riding mower provided with a deflector bucket according to the invention, used as a bucket
Figure 2 is a front elevation view from the rear according to Figure 1
FIG. 3 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1 of the bucket used as a deflector, and
Figure 4 is a view similar to those of Figures 1 and 3 of the bucket in the emptying position.

Conformément à l'invention, et comme le montrent plus particulièrement, à titre d'exemple, les figures 1 à 4 des dessins annexés, le réceptacle 1 de transport de petites charges, en forme de benne, qui est positionné entre les roues arrière motrices 2 et 2' d'une tondeuse autoportée, dont le pont arrière est en forme de portique, est muni de points d'ancrage pivotant 3 et 3' qui sont alignés avec son centre de gravité et qui coopèrent avec des moyens de réception de la tondeuse située sensiblement au-dessus de l'axe de rotation 4, 4' des roues motrices 2 et 2' . Une telle configuration du réceptacle 1 permet d'assurer une bonne répartition des masses par rapport aux roues motrices 2, 2h, de sorte qu'elle entraîne un comportement totalement neutre de l'ensemble de la tondeuse, indépendamment de son état de charge. In accordance with the invention, and as shown more particularly, by way of example, FIGS. 1 to 4 of the appended drawings, the receptacle 1 for transporting small loads, in the shape of a bucket, which is positioned between the rear driving wheels 2 and 2 'of a ride-on mower, the rear bridge of which is in the form of a gantry, is provided with pivoting anchor points 3 and 3' which are aligned with its center of gravity and which cooperate with means for receiving the mower located substantially above the axis of rotation 4, 4 'of the drive wheels 2 and 2'. Such a configuration of the receptacle 1 makes it possible to ensure a good distribution of the masses relative to the drive wheels 2, 2h, so that it results in a completely neutral behavior of the whole of the mower, independently of its state of charge.

La charge disposée dans le réceptacle 1 leste directement les roues motrices 2 et 2' et entraîne ainsi une augmentation correspondante de la motricité. Un tel résultat ne peut pas être obtenu avec les dispositifs de transport de charge existant actuellement. En effet, lorsque ces derniers sont chargés, le déport du centre de gravité tend à faire patiner les roues motrices de la tondeuse. The load placed in the receptacle 1 directly ballasts the driving wheels 2 and 2 ′ and thus causes a corresponding increase in traction. Such a result cannot be obtained with the load transport devices currently existing. When the latter are loaded, the offset from the center of gravity tends to cause the driving wheels of the mower to slip.

Les points d'ancrage pivotant 3 ét 3' sont avantageusement réalisés, de manière connue en soi, sous forme d'axes de pivotement coopérant avec des paliers en forme de berceaux prévus sur les montants 5, 5' du portique formant le pont arrière de la tondeuse autoportée
Cette disposition particulière des points d'ancrage au centre de gravité du réceptacle 1 permet d'obtenir une manipulation particulièrement aisée dudit réceptacle avec déploiement d'un effort minimum lors de la vidange par basculement du réceptacle 1, comme le montre la figure 4.
The pivoting anchor points 3 and 3 ′ are advantageously produced, in a manner known per se, in the form of pivot axes cooperating with cradle-shaped bearings provided on the uprights 5, 5 ′ of the gantry forming the rear bridge of the ride-on mower
This particular arrangement of the anchoring points at the center of gravity of the receptacle 1 makes it possible to obtain a particularly easy manipulation of said receptacle with deployment of a minimum force during emptying by tilting of the receptacle 1, as shown in FIG. 4.

En outre, suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le réceptacle 1 sous forme de benne peut être transformé en un déflecteur pour l'herbe coupée, par simple basculement de 1800 autour de ses points d'ancrage pivotant 3, comme le montre la figure 3. On obtient ainsi un déflecteur de grand volume permettant, en toute sécurité, la tonte d'herbes de toutes hauteurs. In addition, according to another characteristic of the invention, the receptacle 1 in the form of a bucket can be transformed into a deflector for cut grass, by simple tilting of 1800 around its pivoting anchor points 3, as shown in the Figure 3. This gives a large deflector allowing, safely, the mowing of grass of all heights.

Enfin, selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le réceptacle 1 est avantageusement muni, sur au moins une -face latérale, de moyens 6 de verrouillage, sous forme d'arrêts, coopérant avec un élément mobile de forme correspondante prévu sur le montant correspondant 5 ou 5' du portique formant le pont arrière de la tondeuse. Les moyens de verrouillage 6 peuvent avantageusement être réalisés sous forme de simples trous prévus dans la face du réceptacle 1, et l'élément mobile peut être réalisé sous forme d'un verrou, ou analogue. De tels moyens de verrouillage 6 permettent de garantir le maintien en position du réceptacle 1 , soit en position de transport de petites charges, soit pour former un déflecteur, et éviter tout basculement accidentel au cours de la tonte. Finally, according to another characteristic of the invention, the receptacle 1 is advantageously provided, on at least one side face, with locking means 6, in the form of stops, cooperating with a mobile element of corresponding shape provided on the upright. corresponding 5 or 5 'to the gantry forming the rear deck of the mower. The locking means 6 can advantageously be produced in the form of simple holes provided in the face of the receptacle 1, and the movable element can be produced in the form of a lock, or the like. Such locking means 6 make it possible to guarantee that the receptacle 1 is held in position, either in the position for transporting small loads, or to form a deflector, and to avoid any accidental tilting during mowing.

Grâce à l'invention, il est possible de réaliser un réceptable pouvant servir invariablement de benne de transport, ou, par simple pivotement de 1800, de déflecteur pour herbe coupée. Thanks to the invention, it is possible to produce a receptacle which can invariably serve as a transport bucket, or, by simple pivoting of 1800, as a deflector for cut grass.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté aux dessins annexés. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments, ou par. substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.  Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown in the accompanying drawings. Modifications remain possible, in particular from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements, or by. substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
