Zusammenfassung: | A device supported by a turf grass or agricultural mowing machine to provide for the reduced energy created from accidental contact between a object and said machine, while increasing the time the operator has to adjust the direction and speed of the machine. This contact routinely occurs during the maneuvering of the machine under normal operating speeds and conditions. The Turf Bumper accomplishes this by system that directs collision or contact energy to a system of energy absorbing devices. The initial contact with an object can occur with the wheel (100) followed by succeeding contact with a series of rollers (301, 302) that are attached connected to individual acting force vectoring devices (400). The force vectoring devices direct the energy generated from contact with an object to the energy absorbing devices (500). As the machine continues moving, the next adjacent roller contacts the object and causes its force vectoring device (400) to move or rotate a limited amount within the upper and lower supports (700, 800) while contacting the energy absorbing devices in a parallel effort. |
