Abstract: An apparatus for cutting grass is provided which is capable of being attached to a motor unit (1,1a) and comprising a carriage (30) having a shaft (31) supporting associated wheels (32) and helical blades (33) rotating about the shaft (31), at least one support frame (10) including a pin (12) having a rotational axis substantially perpendicular to the ground to be cut, pin (12) having mounted thereon a first end (20a) of an arm (20) which is substantially parallel to the ground, a second end (20b) thereof pivotably mounted on the carriage (30) that is supported by the arm (20) so that the end (20a) of the arm (20) mounted on pin (12) is in front of shaft (31) of the carriage (30) in the direction of forward movement of the apparatus.

Abstract: A machine for cutting grass and the like of the type comprising a frame (1a) to which are made integral an operating engine (2), a driving seat (3), means (4) for steering the machine and a front grass-cutting plate (60), characterized in that such grass-cutting plate (60) comprises at least one or more pairs of cutting blades (61) made to rotate via means (2a, 63, 66, 67, 61a) of transmission of the drive from engine (2) and a guard (62) for protecting such cutting blades, which is extended toward the middle part of the machine by a duct (63) capable of engaging a cut-grass collecting container (9) located centrally with respect to the axes of rotation of front wheels (7) and rear wheel (8) of the machine and located in the lower position grazing the ground as shown in FIG. 3 , the action of pushing the cut grass toward such container being exerted by the pressure generated by the rotation of cutting blades (61 ).
