  • Publication number: 20090272091
    Abstract: A unique lawn mower that relies on operator's power to cut the grass, without polluting the environment or causing health hazards. It comprises of a plurality of shear blades held together by fasteners and springs. The grass cutting is accomplished by shearing entrapped grass between the shear blade notches. The rotational motion of the drive wheel is converted into back-and-forth translational motion by a unique design. The back and forth motion is used to slide one shear blade over the other. The height of grass to be cut can be changed by an adjustment handle, which resides on support links. The support links carry a rear wheel that provides stability to the mower and provide bearing surface for the drive tube generating the translational motion.

  • Patent number: 6993895
    Abstract: A long-stick mower which includes a base, a fixed shear, a mobile shear, a driver, a linkage, an extension spring and an extension control rod. The base is connected to the lower end of the extension rod. The top of the driver is pivoted to the base and drawn toward the base by the extension spring. The linkage is pivoted to the top of the mobile shear at one end and to the drive at the other end. The extension spring is hooked to the bottom of the base to draw the drive. The extension control rod is inserted to the base. When the top of the extension control rod is pressed down, the driver has its caster to hold against the ground and the driver spreads up backward to draw the linkage to move backward to pull the mobile shear. When the extension control rod is pulled up, the driver is drawn back to push the linkage to move forward while pushing the mobile shear to spread up to complete an easy cycle of cutting.
