Suitably secured to the rear end portions
of the side bars 1 are the handles 32 whereby
the proper balance of the machine may be
further maintained by the operator and
5 whereby the direction of travel of the device
may be controlled with convenience.
From the foregoing description, it will
be seen that a mowing machine constructed
in accordance with an embodiment of my
10 invention is extremely simple and which
will be efficient in operation and one which
is admirably adapted for the attainment of
the ends in view. It is to be understood,
however, that I do not limit myself to the
15 precise details herein set forth, inasmuch
as minor changes may be made therein
without departing from the spirit of the in-
vention.
Having thus described my invention what
20 I desire to claim and secure by Letters Pat-
ent, is:
A device of the character described in-
cluding a frame, a traction wheel support-
ing such frame and mounted thereon, a
25 tubular member carried by the frame adja-
cent one side thereof and disposed on a
downward incline and terminating in close
proximity to the surface over which the de-
vice travels, the upper extremity of thetubular member being secured to the frame 30
adjacent one end thereof, an arm depend-
ing from the forward end of the frame,
the lower extremity of the tubular member
being disposed through the free extremity
of the arm, a shaft directed through such 35
tubular member, a shaft mounted trans-
versely of the frame and rearwardly of the
supporting wheel, an operative connection
between the transverse shaft and the upper
extremity of the shaft disposed through the 40
tubular member, a mowing mechanism piv-
otally carried by the tubular member rear-
wardly of the depending arm, an operative
connection between the mowing mechanism
and the lower extremity of the shaft dis- 45
posed through such tubular member, and a
supporting wheel carried by the tubular
member adjacent the lower end thereof and
rearwardly of the pivotal connection of the
mowing mechanism with the tubular mem- 50
ber and adapted to contact with the sur-
face over which the device travels.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my
signature in the presence of two witnesses.
EDGAR CARUTHERS.
