Self-propelled net for preventing flying debris

Abstract

To solve the problem that in a grass mowing operation, it is difficult to secure operators for holding a net for controlling scattered objects for preventing a property damage accident and a bodily injury by a stone or the like sputtered by a grass mower due to shortage of human resources.SOLUTION: A self-travelling net for controlling scattered objects equipped with a scattering object control net 5 in which a net is attached in a frame of a bar-like frame body, attached to a travelling cart 3 having driving force is moved by a grass mowing operator to a position where scattering objects can be controlled by a remote controller 1. The scattering object control net 5 is connected to a slide member 11 attached to a pillar 9, which can freely move in an axial direction, and wheels 13 are attached to a lower part of the frame body. Since the scattering object control net 5 is grounded by its self-weight all the time, moment to the travelling cart 3 is eliminated and travelling becomes stabilized. Measures against falling by wind pressure are taken by an optimum combination of a travelling wheel pitch and vehicle body weight. Also, the travelling cart is automatically moved to a position most suitable for scattering object control by mounting an instrument capable of detecting a relative position with the grass mowing operator on the travelling cart 3.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
