A selectively operable door () for a robotic vehicle () may include a doorframe disposable in a barrier dividing two areas in which the robotic vehicle () is enabled to travel, a door body () hingedly connected to the door frame (), and a latching assembly configured to alternately allow movement of the door body () such that the robotic vehicle () to enabled to pass through the selectively operable door () via displacement of the door body () and prevent movement of the door body () such that the door body () is retained in a closed state. The latching assembly may include an automatic lock configured to define a release position in which movement of the door body () from the closed state is allowed, and a capture position in which movement of the door body to the closed state is allowed and movement of the door body from the closed state is prevented.

A lawn care device may include a cutting deck housing at least one blade, a rotatable shaft, and a blade mount operably coupled to the rotatable shaft. The blade mount may include at least one engagement slot configured to enclose at least a portion of the at least one blade. The blade mount may further include at least one protruding member disposed within the engagement slot to secure the at least one blade within the engagement slot responsive to insertion of the at least one blade into the engagement slot.

Quick-change blade system

A lawn care device may include a cutting deck housing at least one blade, a rotatable shaft, and a blade mount operably coupled to the rotatable shaft. The blade mount may include a clasp to secure the at least one blade within an engagement slot of the blade mount. The cover assembly may form a cavity with at least one sidewall extending substantially around a periphery of the blade mount.

Riding lawn mowers may utilize friction drives configured with a variable normal force between frictional components. In a riding lawn mower, an internal combustion engine may be coupled to a differential via a friction drive, wherein the friction drive is configured with a variable normal force in order to provide improved power transfer and/or shifting performance.
