A lawnmover comprises a deck defining a cutting chamber, the deck including an aperture for passage of cut grass from the cutting chamber, a cutter blade rotatable within the cutting chamber about a substantially vertical axis, a grass collection receptacle including a first air-permeable region and a first inlet for entry of the cut grass from the cutting chamber, and an air moving device for drawing air from the grass collection receptacle via the first air-permeable region, and for directing the so-drawn air into the cutting chamber. The resultant first air flow serves to entrain cut grass within the cutting chamber and to convey said entrained grass into the grass collection receptacle via the aperture and the first inlet. A second air inlet, which is disposed in the region of the first inlet, permits entry of a second stream of air into the receptacle. The second stream of secondary air serves to complement the first air flow through the receptacle, and to assist in deflecting the cut grass entrained in the first air flow into the interior of the receptacle. <IMAGE> |
