  • Disposable grass catcher
    Patent number: 5179824
    Abstract: An improved grass catcher is provided for a lawn mower having a housing with a grass discharge area, and a U-shaped handle. The grass catcher consists of an adapter having a flange at one end and another end attachable to the grass discharge area of the housing. A disposable bag has a mouth mountable to the flange of the adapter so that the bag can catch cut grass travelling through the grass discharge area of the housing. A mechanism is provided for supporting the disposable bag from the handle of the lawn mower so that the disposable bag will not drag on the ground surface when a person is operating the lawn mower.
