Abstract: The invention pertains to a sieve bed for a sifting machine, consisting of rectangular sieve elements (10), which are attached to a support frame (1) with their edges abutting each other, the support frame being provided with mushroom-shaped mounting pins (3), each of which is provided with a head which engages in an interlocking manner in corresponding recesses (11a and 11b) of the sieve elements (10). To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the sieve elements in a sieve bed of this type and to protect the connection from premature wear the invention proposes that the receptacle (11) for the head (4) of the mounting pin (3) be closed off at the top; that the receptacle (11) for the head (4) of the mounting pin (3) be provided at the bottom with an entrance opening for the head (4) of the mounting pin (3); and that the wall of the receptacle (11) be provided with an inward-projecting bead (12), which can be snapped under the head (4) of the mounting pin (3).

Abstract: A mulching and shredding attachment for use on lawn mowers or lawn vacuums held in place by a bracket which uses a lever (44) and a clevis pin (54) so that the mulcher can easily be removed or lifted up while remaining attached to said lawn equipment. The mulcher is made of rigid material and shaped into a chute (10) and uses a bottom plate (24) and an adjustable deflector (20) which allows lawn debris to be directed into the lawn. Inside the mulcher chute (10) is a cutter grid with sharpened blades (16) positioned parallel with the natural travel of exiting lawn debris as it passes through the mulcher chute (10). The cutter grid is fastened by a rod (34) which permits up and down movement of said cutter grid. This movement is limited by means of a lever (32) attached to the upper end of the cutter grid as it comes in contact with the upper inside surface of the mulcher chute (10). The horizonal position of the sharpened blades (30) allows a variety of materials, including leaves, pine needles, twigs, ect.
