Apparatus for fine pulverization of dry leaves and garden debris

An apparatus for finely pulverizing lawn debris, comprising:

• a. a frame having attached thereto a suction hood, a suction and grinding chamber, a side collection chamber and a plurality of transportation wheels;
• b. a power source mounted on said suction and grinding chamber, and operably connected to a central drive shaft to provide power for pulverization and distribution of said lawn debris;
• c. a fan impeller blade mounted on said central drive shaft for drawing said lawn debris through said suction hood and effecting initial pulverization of said lawn debris;
• d. a grinding blade mounted for rotation on said central shaft for effecting further pulverization of said initially pulverized debris;
• e. a clutch mounted on said central shaft forming a central shaft extension;
• f. a distributing plate mounted for rotation on said central shaft extension, said distributing plate having a plurality of inclined apertures therein for dispensing a high velocity stream of said pulverized lawn debris uniformly over a lawn when said distributing plate is rotating;
• and
• g. a clutch disengagement means for stopping said rotation of said distributing plate to enable collection of finely pulverized garden debris in said side collection chamber.
