997,528. Rotary-scythe mowers. FLYMO A.B. June 20, 1964, No. 25598/64. Heading A1F. In a lawn-mower of the kind comprising a power-driven vertical shaft 7 carrying a rotary-scythe cutter 15 and an air-impeller 12, the cutter and impeller being surrounded by a housing 1 with a cut-grass discharge shoot 16, the lower boundary 6 of the housing is continuous and uniplanar so as to restrict the escape of air between housing and ground during operation. As shown in Fig. 2 the mover is wheel-less and rests upon an air-cushion produced by the impeller 12 which has an air-intake 5 at the top of the housing. The shoot 16 curves rearwardly and upwardly and receives a gauze bag on its rear end. Removable shims 9, 10 are arranged on. the. shaft 7 for adjusting the cutting height. In a modification, (Fig. 3, not shown) the housing is wheeled and a pendant rubber skirt seals the area between the housing and the ground, so that the weight of the machine is reduced although the machine is not fully supported. Specification 929,610 is referred to.
