Trailer hitch-mounted transporting device for lawn mowers and landscaping tools

Abstract

The transporting device consists of a trailer hitch receiver adaptor attached near the center of the front cross member. A pair of rails is attached at right angles to the front cross member for each lawn mower to be transported. A front wheel retainer assembly is located in front of each lawn mower, and serves to retain the lawn mower on the transporter. The front wheel retainer assembly has a tension spring that serves to pull the retainer assembly into the open position if a lawnmower is not being retained and into the closed position if a lawn mower is retained. A flat spring located in front of each front lawn mower wheel removes any looseness between the transporting device and the lawn mower, while at the same time helping to hold the front wheel retainer assembly in the closed position.
