Patent number: 8653786Abstract: A battery-powered lawn mower includes a deck, a latch assembly, a battery, a motor and a blade. The deck is supported by wheels and defines a pocket. The latch assembly is coupled to the deck and is movable between a locked position and a fully opened position. The battery is secured within the pocket by the latch assembly in a first configuration and is removable from the pocket in a second configuration. The motor is supported by the deck and electrically coupled to the battery in the first configuration. The blade is coupled to the deck and driven by the motor. During operation, the battery powers the motor to drive the blade.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2010Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Florin Baetica, Richard P. Rosa, P. Wade Mooney
