APPARATUS FOR CLEANING UP GRASSY AREAS, IN PARTICULAR FOR REMOVING SAND FROM GRASSY AREAS

摘要

An apparatus for clearing up, in particular for removing sand from, areas of grass includes a basic housing, rollers, a blower and a collection container. The apparatus has a low degree of design complexity such that areas of grass can be cleared up in a simple manner, it being possible, in particular, to easily remove sand and other foreign matter from greens of golf courses. The invention proposes providing a nozzle, through which the propelled air which is conveyed by means of the blower flows towards the area of grass, downstream of the blower in the direction of flow, wherein no cutting tool is provided. An inflow opening of an exhaust-air duct is arranged downstream of the nozzle, with a space being left free above the area of grass, in such a way that the air flows substantially horizontally over the area of grass in the space. A guide element which can be made to rest on the area of grass is provided in the region of the inflow opening, wherein the exhaust-air duct issues into the collection container for holding the sand and/or foreign matter which is removed from the area of grass.
