Description
DISPOSITIFS POUR RAMASSER L'HERBEDEVICES FOR PICKING UP GRASS
La présente invention concerne un dispositif destiné à ramasser l'herbe pour une tondeuse à gazon. The present invention relates to a device for collecting grass for a lawn mower.
Un dispositif de ramassage bien connu consiste en un sac en tissu, maintenu sur un cadre en métal ou en plastique, le tissu étant perméable à l'air, mais bloquant A well-known collection device consists of a fabric bag, held on a metal or plastic frame, the fabric being permeable to air, but blocking
le passage des tontes d'herbe et autres fins débris éjectés à l'intérieur du sac. the passage of grass clippings and other fine debris ejected inside the bag.
De tels dispositifs sont coûteux à fabriquer. Une variante moins coûteuse a un conteneur, formé entièrement en matériaux plastiques, les cotés du conteneur comprenant des ouvertures, qui permettent à l'air de fuir, mais qui bloquent le passage des tontes d'herbe. Les ouvertures peuvent former une grille. Un inconvénient d'un tel agencement est qu'une quantité sensible de poussière ou autres fins débris peut passer au travers des cotés à grilles du conteneur, et certains utilisateurs trouvent ceci inacceptable, notamment lorsqu'ils tondent dans des conditions poussiéreuses et de sécheresse. L'utilisation d'une grille plus fine réduit le problème, mais ne le Such devices are expensive to manufacture. A less expensive variant has a container, formed entirely of plastic materials, the sides of the container comprising openings, which allow air to escape, but which block the passage of the clippings. The openings can form a grid. A disadvantage of such an arrangement is that a substantial amount of dust or other fine debris can pass through the grid sides of the container, and some users find this unacceptable, especially when mowing in dusty and dry conditions. Using a thinner grid reduces the problem, but does not

Conformément à la présente invention, on constitue un dispositif destiné à ramasser l'herbe pour une tondeuse à gazon, le dispositif comprenant un conteneur en plastique, présentant au moins une paroi formée avec des ouvertures, permettant à l'air de fuir à partir du conteneur, et comprenant en outre au moins un panneau perméable à l'air destiné à être attaché à la paroi respective, le panneau bloquant le passage des tontes d'herbe à travers les ouvertures, lorsqu'on l'attache à la paroi. Le panneau comprend de préférence un panneau en tissu, que l'on verrouille de préférence ou autrement que l'on fixe à la paroi respective du conteneur de manière à pouvoir le -2- désolidariser. On fixe de préférence le panneau le long d'un bord supérieur et il pend vers le bas comme un rideau. De cette manière, on garde les avantages d'un sac en tissu, tandis que le coût de fabrication est un peu supérieur au coût d'un conteneur en plastique. De plus, l'utilisateur a le choix de monter le panneau perméable à In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a device for collecting grass for a lawn mower, the device comprising a plastic container, having at least one wall formed with openings, allowing the air to escape from the container, and further comprising at least one air permeable panel intended to be attached to the respective wall, the panel blocking the passage of the clippings of grass through the openings, when it is attached to the wall. The panel preferably comprises a fabric panel, which is preferably locked or otherwise fixed to the respective wall of the container so that it can be detached. The panel is preferably attached along an upper edge and hangs down like a curtain. In this way, we keep the advantages of a fabric bag, while the manufacturing cost is slightly higher than the cost of a plastic container. In addition, the user has the choice to mount the permeable panel to

On va décrire maintenant un ramasseur d'herbe mettant en ouvre l'invention, au moyen d'exemples seulement, en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels: - la Figure 1 est une vue en plan du ramasseur; la Figure 2 est une élévation latérale du ramasseur; - la Figure 3 illustre un verrouillage destiné à fixer un panneau en tissu à la paroi latérale à grille du ramasseur; et We will now describe a grass catcher implementing the invention, by means of examples only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: - Figure 1 is a plan view of the catcher; Figure 2 is a side elevation of the pickup; - Figure 3 illustrates a lock for fixing a fabric panel to the side wall of the pick-up grid; and
- la Figure 4 illustre le panneau en tissu. - Figure 4 illustrates the fabric panel.
En se référant à ces figures, on illustre un ramasseur d'herbe 10 destiné à être attaché à l'arrière d'une tondeuse à gazon rotative (non montrée). La tondeuse à gazon génère un flux d'air portant tontes d'herbe, poussière et autres fins débris, et ce flux d'air émerge à partir d'une cheminée de sortie, à l'arrière de la tondeuse, d'une manière bien connue. La quantité de poussière et de fins débris va dépendre des conditions de tonte. Le ramasseur d'herbe 10 consiste pour l'essentiel en un réceptacle ouvert frontalement moulé à partir d'un matériau plastique, et présentant une base 11, des parois latérales 12a, 12b, une paroi arrière 13 et un couvercle (non montré), qui se monte par encliquetage au-dessus du sommet Referring to these figures, there is illustrated a grass catcher 10 intended to be attached to the rear of a rotary lawn mower (not shown). The lawn mower generates an air flow carrying grass clippings, dust and other fine debris, and this air flow emerges from an outlet chimney, at the rear of the mower, in a way well known. The amount of dust and fine debris will depend on the mowing conditions. The grass catcher 10 essentially consists of an open receptacle frontally molded from a plastic material, and having a base 11, side walls 12a, 12b, a rear wall 13 and a cover (not shown), which snaps over the top
du réceptacle, et qui comprend une poignée de portage. of the receptacle, and which comprises a carrying handle.
On forme chacune des parois latérales 12a, 12b presque entièrement comme une structure à grille, qui peut être suffisante afin d'empêcher un passage des tontes d'herbe, mais qui ne va pas bloquer poussière et fins débris en -3 - conditions poussiéreuses et de sécheresse. On peut attacher un panneau en tissu 14 de manière à pouvoir le désolidariser à chaque paroi latérale sur l'intérieur du réceptacle, afin de couvrir l'aire à grille. On attache le tissu à la grille par des verrouillages 15 (Figure 3), que l'on insère au travers de trous respectifs 16, dans la partie supérieure de bord du panneau en tissu, et que l'on monte par encliquetage dans des ouvertures respectives 17 dans la grille. Chaque verrouillage 15 consiste en une tête 18 avec une tige à excroissance 19, faisant saillie vers Each of the side walls 12a, 12b is formed almost entirely as a grid structure, which may be sufficient to prevent a passage of the grass clippings, but which will not block dust and fine debris in -3 - dusty conditions and of drought. A fabric panel 14 can be attached so as to be able to separate it from each side wall on the interior of the receptacle, in order to cover the grid area. The fabric is attached to the grid by locks 15 (Figure 3), which is inserted through respective holes 16 in the upper edge of the fabric panel, and which is snapped into openings 17 in the grid. Each lock 15 consists of a head 18 with a protruding rod 19, projecting towards
l'extérieur à partir de cette dernière. outside from the latter.
Une fois attaché, le panneau en tissu 14 pend vers le bas de la paroi latérale respective, afin de former un tissu ou un revêtement intérieur, couvrant l'aire à grille, et empêchant poussière et fins débris de s'écouler à partir du réceptacle avec l'air évacué. Si nécessaire, on pourrait en plus attacher le panneau en tissu 14 à la structure à Once attached, the fabric panel 14 hangs down from the respective side wall, to form a fabric or interior covering, covering the grid area, and preventing dust and fine debris from flowing from the receptacle with the exhaust air. If necessary, the fabric panel 14 could also be attached to the structure to be
grille le long du bord de fond du panneau. grid along the bottom edge of the panel.
En utilisation, l'utilisateur prend l'option de tondre sans un panneau en tissu lorsque des conditions le permettent, et monte le panneau lorsque des conditions sont In use, the user takes the option of mowing without a fabric panel when conditions allow, and mounts the panel when conditions are
particulièrement poussiéreuses et en sécheresse. particularly dusty and dry.
Si l'on formait les parois latérales 12a, 12b avec des ouvertures qui n'empêchent pas le passage des tontes d'herbe, on aurait besoin du panneau en tissu dans toutes If we formed the side walls 12a, 12b with openings that do not prevent the passage of the clippings of grass, we would need the fabric panel in all
les conditions de tonte.the mowing conditions.
