Abstract
A grass catcher having a monocoque container which is downwardly tapered from its rear end to its front end, the rear end being open and larger in size than the front end. A front wall closes off the front end. A continuous material sheet forms a flat top wall, a side wall, and a flat bottom wall. The side wall has a series of adjacently aligned, frustum segments. This side wall extends downward from the top wall which is fixedly attached to the front wall and a flat side wall. The side wall is fixedly attached directly to the front and bottom walls. The container has a plurality of hole patterns, which, in combination with the shape of the container, facilitate air flow through the grass catcher and thus the flow of loose grass clippings through the grass catcher.
