Latest Patents
One of Wolske's latest patents is the "Mulching mower with uniform cut and particulate distribution." This mobile implement for mulching provides complete control of the mulching process and uniformly distributes the mulch back onto the lawn. Grass and leaves are cut using a standard cutting blade. The mass of cut vegetation is then lifted upward into a hammermill by the trailing edge of the rotating cutting blade. The air stream generated by the rotating hammers of the hammermill forces the vegetation against a shear screen. Repeated blows by the hammers chop the vegetation to a controlled size and force it through the screen. A portion of the chopped mulch falls back onto the ground in the area of the trailing quadrant of the implement's path. The remainder of the mulch is forced into the discharge duct and blown uniformly out onto the lawn through the discharge opening of the mower housing. This same system of hardware may be incorporated into either a hand push or a power-driven rotary mower, as well as a gang unit, mounted on or pulled by a tractor.
Another significant invention is the "Reclosable bag." This bag features front and back walls and a bendable metal reclosure that has a total length greater than the width of the bag. The reclosure is bent at two points spaced a distance corresponding to the bag width to create two tab portions at the ends of an intermediate portion. The intermediate portion is secured to one of the walls adjacent to an end of the bag, extending across that wall generally from one side edge to the other. The tab portions are bent back on the outside of the intermediate portion, and a cover strip overlies the reclosure.
