Universal mower blade
First Claim
1. A mower blade, comprising:
- a mid-section;
two sharpened end sections on opposite sides of said mid-section to define an elongated portion; and
a blade longitudinal axis extending through said mid-section and said end sections, said mid-section including a circular central hole having a diameter and being centered on said blade longitudinal axis, and first and second slots centered on said blade longitudinal axis, each of said first and second slots being positioned on opposite sides of said central hole, each of said first and second slots extending parallel said blade longitudinal axis and having a width that is transverse to, and crosses said blade longitudinal axis,said mid-section also including first and second circular side holes spaced apart from the circular central hole, the first and second circular side holes positioned off said blade longitudinal axis and on opposite sides of said central hole, each of said first and second side holes and said central hole being centered on a common axis that is oblique to said blade longitudinal axis.

Abstract
A mower blade includes a mid-section, two sharpened, end sections, and a blade longitudinal axis. The mid-section includes a circular, central hole having a relatively large diameter and being centered on the blade longitudinal axis and first and second slots centered on the blade longitudinal axis. Each of the first and second slots are positioned on opposite sides of the central hole. The mid-section also includes first and second circular, side holes positioned off the blade longitudinal axis and on opposite sides of the central hole. Each of the first and second side holes have a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the central hole. The diameter of the central hole is larger than the width of each of the first and second slots.
