Abstract: The permanent lawn mower, or inground lawn mower, is designed to be an alternative to conventional mobile mowing. Its focus is small grassy areas that are dangerous or impractical to mow by other means. In a first embodiment, the system includes three primary components: a drive unit that supplies rotational motion; a cable that carries rotational motion away from the drive unit, and one or more cutting heads that convert the rotational motion into a cutting action. In a second embodiment, the drive unit is combined with the cutting head, avoiding the need for a cable to carry rotational motion.

Abstract: A walk power mower has a deck that provides a cutting chamber for enclosing a rotary grass cutting blade. An assembly is provided for adding ambient air to the cutting chamber during a grass mowing operation to improve performance. The assembly comprises an air vent placed in a top wall of the cutting chamber. An external cover outside of the cutting chamber and above the top wall of the cutting chamber has an air permeable section located forwardly of the air vent to admit air into the cover to thereby feed that air to the air vent. An internal cover inside the cutting chamber and below the top wall of the cutting chamber receives the air passing inwardly through the air vent and discharges such air into the cutting chamber at a location that is spaced from the air vent.
