Abstract: A preformed fence clip and fence clip nut are provided that are designed to tie the fence fabric of a chain link fence to the fence posts that make up its frame. The fence clips used are generally circular in shape having an open end from which extend outward a pair of clip legs. The opening in the fence clip allows it to be slipped over the outer surface of a fence post resulting in the fence clip encircling the fence post and leaving the clip legs extending perpendicularly therefrom which are then engaged by the fence clip nut which is employed to twist the clip legs together and synch down the clip over the fence post and contained fabric strand. This configuration provides a situation in which the fence clip nut is left in place once the installation is complete which effectively and permanently covers the sharp ends of the fence clip legs which pose a potential danger to people and property.

Abstract: A rotary lawn mower mounted on a tractor is equipped with a blower operable to move grass clippings and loose debris from the mower into collection bags. The blower has a rotatable impeller located within a housing attached to the side of the mower. A belt and pulley drive connects the horizontal impeller shaft to an upright blade drive shaft of the mower to rotate the impeller concurrently with the grass cutting blades of the mower. A pair of idler pulleys mounted on one or more supports secured to the housing aligned a single endless belt with the vertical pulley on the impeller drive shaft and change the orientation of the belt from horizontal to vertical and back to horizontal as the belt travels around the pulleys mounted on the impeller and blade shafts.

The blower has an impeller located within an upright housing attached to a side of the mower. A belt and pulley drive connects a horizontal impeller shaft to an upright blade shaft of the mower to rotate the impeller concurrently with the grass cutting blades of the mower. The rotating impeller draws grass clippings and other loose material from the mower and discharges the material into collection bags mounted on the rear of the tractor.
