A bracket having at least two gripping members for releasably supporting, and, in turn, affixing an object to a surface. The operable distance between the gripping members may be adjusted to compensate for the width of the object. Each of the gripping members is maintained in a substantially equidistant position relative to a center region of the bracket. A movable lip member compensates for the thickness of the object and provides additional releasable securement of the object.

Radar detector bracket

An animal warning device for alerting, and in turn warning, various animals, such as deer, through one or more tones audible to animals, that a vehicle, to which the device may be attached, is approaching. A housing member, which supports a speaker, is adjustably attachable to a vehicle. The housing member includes a dispersing region operatively associated with the housing member for dispersing the one or more tones broadcasted out of the speaker in a radiated, spray-like pattern.

Animal warning device

A control assembly associated with a walk-behind mower having a handle bar that is attached to a rear portion of the mower body and is formed with opposite side portions and a rear cross portion extending between the side portions. Forming the control assembly, are two curved bale members juxtaposed in a side-to-side relationship with one another and pivotally connected between the side portions of the mower handle bar. A first control cable connects one of the pivotable bale members with an operator zone engine kill/restart assembly and a second control cable connects the other bale member with the wheel clutch so that these assemblies can be independently actuated by consecutive movement of the bale members to actuating positions. In a first preferred embodiment, each of the bale members includes a transverse portion conforming to the peripheral shape of the cross portion of the handle bar whereby the handle bar cross portion is received in the bale transverse portion when the bale is in an actuating position to operatively form a unitary member therewith.

Control mechanism for walk-behind mower

A removable grass catcher for a rotary lawn mower that includes a relatively rigid housing for the collection of grass clippings. The housing includes a top wall with at least one downwardly extending flange, at least a part of which top wall is spaced apart from the upper edges of at least one of the rear and side walls of the housing to provide air gaps therebetween that serve as air vents for the housing during the accumulation of grass clippings therein.

Removable grass catcher

A drive unit preferably employed with a self-propelled lawn mower for driving at least one pair of wheels of the mower. An axle pulley is fixed on the axle of the drive wheels and a directional pulley is rotatably mounted above and in a spaced apart relation to the axle pulley. A drive belt is trained over an upper portion of the directional pulley and about a lower portion of the axle pulley and is then trained about an upper portion of a directional roller. The drive unit has a drive condition and an idle condition in which a portion of the drive belt, between the directional roller and the axle pulley, is in a generally vertical run. An idler roller is mounted on lever arms having an axis of rotation coaxial with that of the directional roller and is positioned below and in a spaced apart relationship to the directional roller so that when the lever arms are pivoted about their axis, the idler roller engages the drive belt and increases the contact between the drive belt and the axle pulley to place the drive unit into an operating condition.
