PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walking type mower with a simple structure which can save power for rotating a mowing blade, while performing mowing work by advancing a traveling machine body and mowing work by reversely moving the traveling machine body.SOLUTION: The mowing blade 10 is supported to the lower part of an engine part E so as to rotate around a vertical shaft center P2. The engine part E and the mowing blade 10 are supported to the traveling machine body 1 so as to swing around a lateral shaft center P1. The walking type mover includes an inclined posture-changing mechanism which changes postures of the engine part E and the mowing blade 10 to a front down inclined posture in which the front side of the mowing blade 10 swings downward, and to a rear down inclined posture in which the rear side of the mowing blade 10 swings downward. A mowing blade cover 16 for intercepting mowed grass from entering to the center of rotation is equipped at a position below the engine part E and above the mowing blade 10 so that the engine part E and the mowing blade 10 integrally swing around the lateral shaft center P1.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】走行機体を前進させての刈取作業及び走行機体を後進させての刈取作業を可能に構成しながら、刈刃を回転させる動力を節約することができる歩行型草刈機を簡素な構造で実現する。【解決手段】原動部Eの下部に刈刃10を上下軸心P2周りに回動自在に支持し、走行機体1に原動部E及び刈刃10を左右軸心P1周りに揺動可能に支持する。刈刃10の前側が下方に揺動した前下がり傾斜姿勢、及び、刈刃10の後側が下方に揺動した後下がり傾斜姿勢に、原動部E及び刈刃10を姿勢変更する傾斜姿勢変更機構を備える。刈草の回転中心側への入り込みを阻止する刈刃カバー16を、原動部Eの下側で刈刃10の上側の位置に、原動部E及び刈刃10と一体で左右軸心P1周りに揺動するように備える。【選択図】図3
