<p>LAWN MOWER SAFETY SHIELD A safety shield composed of an extruded sheet of material with upper, lower and intermediate tubular portions. The upper tubular portion is mounted on the rear axle of a lawn mower. Notches are provided in the sheet that extend from the upper tubular edge downwardly into the sheet and terminate above the intermediate tubular portion. The notches permit relative free fore-and-aft swinging of the entire shield on the axle without creating interference with portions of the mower housing. The intermediate and lower tubular portions have stiffener rods extending therethrough which restrict distortion of the shield and which may contact the lower extremities of the mower housing.</p> |
