  • Patent number: 10512218
    Abstract: A quick connect hose adapter connects a flexible transfer hose from a mower deck to an inlet tube on a container for storing debris. The adapter includes a first cylindrical portion fixed in the discharge end of the flexible hose, and a second portion with a clamp assembly that clamps to the inlet tube. The clamp assembly has first and second semi-cylindrical segments connected together on one side by a continuous hinge, and at least one latch for latching the other side of the semi-cylindrical segments together to cause the clamp assembly to be clamped to the inlet tube. When the latch is released, the second semi-cylindrical segment can be moved from a closed position to an open position. In the open position, the adapter is easily removable from the inlet tube. A seal ring provides a smooth inner surface and seal between the adapter and the inlet tube.
