Abstract: A sun shade for a lawn maintenance tool includes a bracket configured to accommodate a profile of the lawn maintenance tool to the rear of the seat. A frame is configured to cooperate with the bracket, and a fastener attaches the frame and the bracket to the lawn maintenance tool. A quantity of material is attached to the frame above the lawn maintenance tool, where the material is configured to inhibit passage of sunlight through the material. In further examples, the sun shade can be foldable at one or more locations by using breakaway hinges. A kit including the sun shade can also be used to modify the lawn maintenance tool.

Abstract: A mower blade for a lawn maintenance device includes an elongate blade having opposed end edges and opposed side edges. The elongate blade is adapted for mounting onto a rotary mower for rotation about a center axis extended transverse to the elongate blade and separating the elongate blade into opposed elongate end portions extended from said center axis. The elongate blade has a blade major axis and defines a curved portion such that the curved portion is opposite a cutting edge. The curved portion extends from the elongate blade in an upward direction where the two meet and curves toward a lower face of the elongate blade. Further examples of the mower blade include the curved portion being offset vertically from a cutting edge to develop lift during rotation and a constant cross-section over most of the blade major axis.

Abstract: An implement attachment system for a lawn maintenance vehicle includes a box-like structure, where the box-like structure defines a hook configured to cooperate with fasteners located on the lawn maintenance vehicle. A pin is attached to the box-like structure and the pin extends generally downward from the box-like structure. The pin is configured to cooperate with an aperture defined by a portion of an associated frame located on the lawn maintenance vehicle. A resilient force member is attached to the box-like structure. An engagement device is attached to the resilient force member and the engagement device is slidingly attached to the box-like structure.
