| 20090199531 | MOWER LIQUID HERBICIDE APPLICATOR - An apparatus and method for supply of treating fluid to a cutting apparatus directly to cut vegetation substantially simultaneously with the cutting of the vegetation. Treating fluid is delivered from the supply to an intermediate, sealed reservoir into which a desired volume of treating fluid is maintained. The treating fluid is then delivered from the sealed reservoir, via centrifugal force, through a channel to a passageway formed in the bolt connecting the cutting blade to a blade mount of the mower. The treating fluid is ejected from the bolt passage directly onto the exposed undersurface of the cutting blade and directly to the vegetation at the same time that it is cut so that the treatment fluid, herbicide or other chemical is absorbed directly into the translocation system of the cut vegetation. | 08-13-2009 |

The first, second and third water discharging units are configured to discharge the washing water in such a manner that the center flow portion of the discharged water respectively therefrom is confined within the inner space of the mower deck. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20120055129 | ROTARY MOWER FOR APPLYING CHEMICALS TO VEGETATION - A chemical applying apparatus for use on a rotary mower that includes a mower deck, a blade pan under the mower deck mounted to a driven shaft, and a plurality of blades attached to the blade pan. A slinger ring is attached to a top surface of the blade pan such that a center of the slinger ring substantially coincides with a rotational axis of the driven shaft, and a bottom edge of the slinger ring is sealed to the blade pan. The slinger ring slopes upward and inward from the bottom edge thereof to the top edge thereof. Discharge ports extend through the blade pan adjacent to and inside the slinger ring. A conduit is fixed to the mower deck and oriented to direct chemical onto the top surface of the blade pan inside the slinger ring, and a chemical source delivers chemical through the conduit. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20120055130 | LAWN MOWER AND SPREADER SYSTEM - A lawn mower and spreader system includes a deck, a hopper, and a spreading element. The deck supports an engine having a power takeoff and at least partially surrounds a blade coupled to the power takeoff. The hopper is configured to support granular fertilizer. Furthermore, the hopper has a discharge chute leading to an opening in the deck. The spreading element is coupled to the power takeoff of the engine and is positioned between the deck and the blade. The spreading element includes a hub and arms that extend laterally from hub. The arms are spaced apart from one another by open slots. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20120090287 | Lawn Mower and Fertilizer Spreader Combination - A riding lawn mower mounted drop spreader apparatus is used for spreading a granular material while mowing. The spreader includes a hopper for holding a quantity of a granular material to be dispensed with a control gate which controls the amount of material distributed while mowing. An auger located in the hopper has a drive motor which can also be controlled by an operator of the mower. The hopper has a mounting frame for mounting the hopper and agitator mechanism on a rear chassis region of the lawn mower. An operator can visually observe the amount of material distributed by observing the mowed path behind the mower during use. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20130145737 | Liquid delivery device for attaching to a walk-behind lawn mower or other similar machine - In one contemplated embodiment, the present invention is a liquid delivery device for attaching to a walk-behind lawn mower or other similar machine. The device includes at least one means for attaching the device to the machine, and preferably a pair of straps for releasably attaching the tank assembly to the handle-portion of the lawn mower. The device includes the tank body assembly having at least one vertical sidewall coupled to a closed bottom at an end opposite an open top to define an interior volume. A cap selectively seals the open top and includes a pressurizing assembly.
