A latching assembly (″) for operably coupling a cutting deck () to an equipment frame () of a riding lawn care vehicle () may include a pivot arm (), and a latch member (). The pivot arm () and the latch member () may each be pivotally coupled to each other. The pivot arm () and the latch member () may also cooperate with each other to affix the cutting deck () to the equipment frame () in each of a service position and a working position.

Multi-position locking mechanism for a riding lawn care vehicle

A riding lawn care vehicle may include a frame to which a mobility assembly is operably coupled, an equipment frame operably coupled to the frame forward of the mobility assembly, a steering assembly operably coupled to the mobility assembly to enable an operator seated on the riding lawn care vehicle to provide steering control of the riding lawn care vehicle, a removable cutting in deck and a belt positioning system. The cutting deck includes a rotatable blade and is configured to receive power for turning the blade from an equipment drive belt of the vehicle when the equipment drive belt is operably coupled with the cutting deck. The belt positioning system is configured to enable the equipment drive belt to be automatically operably coupled between the cutting deck and the riding lawn care vehicle in response to the cutting deck being docked with the equipment frame in an operational position.

Equipment frame for a riding lawn care vehicle

A linkage arrangement for an articulated vehicle. The linkage arrangement () comprises a front frame () of the articulated vehicle, a rear frame () of the articulated vehicle, and a first pivot joint () interconnecting the front frame () and the rear frame () such that the front frame () and the rear frame () are pivotable relative each other about the first pivot joint (). The linkage arrangement also comprises a link () having a fixed length. The link has a front end () pivotably connected to the front frame () by means of a second pivot joint (), and a rear end () pivotably connected to the rear frame () by means of a third pivot joint (). A projection of the first pivot joint () on the link () is positioned between the second () and third () pivot joints, at a first distance (D) from the second () pivot joint and at a second distance (D) from the third pivot joint ().

Linkage arrangement

The present invention relates to a lawn mower (), comprising a chassis (), a front mounted mower deck (), and at least one support arm () connecting the mower deck () with the chassis (). The support arm () is movable with respect to the chassis () for lifting the mower deck () from a lower position to an upper position. In the upper position, the mower deck () is tiltable about a horizontal pivot axis () with respect to the support arm () without interfering with the ground. The lawn mower is characterised in that the centre of gravity () of the mower deck () is located in front of the pivot axis (), with respect to the forward direction of the lawn mower (), when the mower deck () is lifted to the upper position.

Accessible lawn mower deck

The present invention relates to a lawn mower (), comprising a front mounted mower deck () comprising at least one cutting knife, wherein the cutting knife is rotatably arranged in a substantially horizontal plane (), a wheel suspension arrangement () connected to the mower deck () and comprising at least one wheel () to be in contact with the ground so as to support the mower deck () during mowing, wherein the wheel () is connected to the wheel suspension arrangement () by means of an axle () to be in perpendicular alignment with the ground during mowing, and a cutting height adjustment () device adapted to move the wheel suspension arrangement () with respect to the mower deck () for adjusting the mutual height relationship between the wheel () and the mower deck (), so as to adjust the distance between the plane of the cutting knife and the ground. The lawn mower is characterized in that the axle () is pivotal about an axis () with respect to the wheel suspension arrangement () and connected to the cutting height adjustment device () in such a way that the axle () is parallelly displaced when the wheel suspension arrangement () is moved.

Cutting height adjustment for lawn mower

The invention relates to a device for adjustably limiting the maximum speed of an engine powered hand tool controlled by a power-regulating device ( ) located in the handle of the tool. The device makes it possible to optimise the speed of the engine for the job that is to be done. The device consists of a threaded shaft ( ) that is moved by rotating a nut ( ) and a spring ( ). When a higher speed than the selected level is required, is it possible to increase the speed to the maximum speed available by pressing the power-regulating device ( ) with a force that exceeds the force from the spring ( ).
