  • Bagging device for a lawnmower
    Patent number: 7013627
    Abstract: A bagging device for use on a lawnmower includes a frame, a bag attached to the frame and having a bag opening aligned with a discharge opening on the lawnmower, and at least one wheel rotatably mounted to the frame. During operation of the lawnmower, vegetation clippings from the lawnmower are collected in the bag. When the bagging device is mounted on the lawnmower, the at least one wheel is in a stowed condition and does not support any weight of the bagging device. The at least one wheel is generally at the top of the bagging device when the bagging device is attached to the lawnmower. When the bagging device is detached from the lawnmower, the bagging device is flipped or toppled over to position the at least one wheel at the bottom of the bagging device to facilitate rolling the bagging device away from the lawnmower.
