Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Prior art lawn mowers are of the reel or rotary design. A reel mower is an old-style, which many people still use today. It is better than gas, battery or electric power because it has less maintenance, is less noisy, and has no pollution. More and more people prefer to use a reel mower after they use it. Reel mowers are better for the look of the grass as it has a better cut. Reel mowers can give lawn that nice greenery look, and cut smoother.

Rotary mowers are rougher to the lawn and can tear the grass.

Prior art reel mowers are of one mower that cuts grass, but you usually have to go over the cut a second time to get the best results. The present invention has two reel mowers instead of only using one mower. Therefore, there is a need to develop a faster way to cut that incorporates the dual action of two reel mowers to overcome the problems associated with the prior art of using one reel mower.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to lawn mowers. More particularly, this invention relates to a dual reel lawn mower.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with the present invention there is provided a dual reel lawn mower that has a line-up of two reel mowers connected by a bar in the preferred embodiment that allows an more efficiently and effectively way to cut the grass on one cut with the dual action of two mowers being used.

Two reel cutting units are employed and when pushed forward it will cut the grass with blades of the two mowers and a roller if desired and wheels for movement over the ground allowing a user to cut grass faster.

One reel cutting unit has a blade assembly that can consist of conventional parts eg. reel blades, screws, cutting bar, axle, brush bar, pinion gear, brackets, discs that are spaced between the blades of conventional construction and etc. The blade rotates about on the horizontal axis of the assembly. When a user pushes the present invention, the blades rotate over the lawn, brushing up the grass as it's cut with one blade following the next in quick succession. The dual action of using two reel mowers connected is useful for cutting grass one time without having to go over it twice. It will be understood that there could be as many reel blades or discs as may be desired and of various styles, depending on the width of the mower which is to be made. The handle can be placed on the front, rear, top, sides of the present invention depending on someone skilled in the art's preference. The handle can be made of conventional construction as the preferred embodiments or alternative embodiments can be used such as being flexible to bend in order to have room for storage or of various sizes and shapes. The rollers and/or wheels support the reel mowers thereof in the moving direction and preferred embodiments of the wheels are of the same size. The wheels can have hubcaps of various designs.

The present invention can be made with or without a roller or with or without a leveler wherein the height of the mower can be adjusted by the user if desired.

In a preferred embodiment, the present invention has a roller and a handle foundation lifted up.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a dual reel lawn mower that cuts twice as fast to help a user save time. It is another object of the invention to provide an improved reel lawn mower which can be easily made, used and maintained. In accordance with the objects of the invention a dual reel lawn mower is provided.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the present invention showing a handle in a different position, a shorter roller and a different reel blade being used.

DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DRAWINGS

In the following exemplary description numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of embodiments of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to an artisan of ordinary skill that the present invention may be practiced without incorporating all aspects of the specific details described herein.

Referring now to the drawings of the present invention, in FIG. 1, shows a dual reel lawn mower in a preferred embodiment. FIG. 1 is showing the side view of the present invention and showing the handle (1) lifted up high in order to move the handle with more flexibility for the user. It also shows the handle foundation bracket (2), connection bar (3), tire (4), top cover piece (5), roller (6), and blade assembly (7) in an fragmentary elevational view. The roller is made as a two-piece; FIG. 2 is a reduced view of an alternative embodiment without a roller (6) showing the bottom bar (9) and handle (1) in a different position and with levelers (8) for each tire (4) to adjust the height of the present invention also showing the top cover piece (5) and blade assembly (7); FIG. 3 is a fragmentary view according to embodiments of this invention showing the top cover piece (5) that can be used and showing how the present invention can be made in alternative ways depending on someone skilled in the art's preference. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the present invention showing a handle in a different position, a shorter roller and a different reel blade being used.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention and the substitution of alternative embodiments are permitted. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
