Abstract

The present subject matter discloses devices and methods for controlling the operation of a lawnmower or other walk-behind power machines without the use of a bail or operator presence control. A control device for a walk-behind machine can include a handle for a walk-behind machine, a sliding cam movable within the handle, a cable connected to the sliding cam and to a machine control component of the walk-behind machine, and an actuator movably attached to the handle. Movement of the actuator against a cam surface of the sliding cam can move the sliding cam within the handle to move the cable and operate the machine control component.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates generally to machine control components for pushback powered machines. More particularly, the present invention relates to machine controls and methods for lawn mowers or other pushback powered machines. Background technique [0002] In the United States, safety rules require that lawn mowers must be equipped with some type of handle-mounted "dead man" control (dead man control), that is, a very short time (such as 3 seconds) after the operator presence control (operator presence control) is released. ) within the operator presence control that stops the blade. Common systems used for this purpose include band brake systems and plate brake clutches. The belt brake system stops the engine and blades for a short period of time after the operator intentionally or accidentally releases the belt brake control. In this regard, moving the belt brake control to the operating position releases the engine and plate brakes, and ignites t...
