Fill detection device for grass container and grass container
First Claim
1. A fill detection device for a grass container, comprising:
- a detection switch;
a pivot sensor that is fastened inside the grass container, that can actuate the detection switch as a result of contact with cut grass, and whose position can be changed between a raised non-detection position and a lowered detection position, the pivot sensor having;
a first pressure-sensing surface that faces generally upwardly when the pivot sensor is in the non-detection position; and
a second pressure-sensing surface that is linked to the first pressure-sensing surface, and that faces generally substantially rearwardly when the pivot sensor is in the non-detection position.
