  • Safety deflector assembly for power lawn discharge chute
    Patent number: 4008559
    Abstract: A safety deflector assembly for the discharge chute of a power lawn mower is provided. The deflector assembly comprises a deflector or guard plate pivotally mounted on the mower deck adjacent to the discharge chute and normally biased toward a guard position, and a latching mechanism automatically operable upon movement of the deflector to its guard position located in the path of movement of material discharged from the discharge chute for latching the deflector in its guard position.
