Powered Weed Trimmer Cutting Head And Method
US Patent:
2008019, Aug 21, 2008
Filed:
Feb 19, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/033699
Inventors:
GORDON STRADER - BOISE ID, US
International Classification:
A01D 34/82, B26B 25/00
US Classification:
30276, 30321, 56 127
Abstract:
A cutting head attached to a powered rotary weed cutting machine has a generally cylindrical structure containing a plurality of cutting blades, wherein the upper and lower portions of said structure may be rotated with respect to one another without the use of tools and without requiring the structure to be disassembled, to expose each entire cutting blade for replacement when required. The lower portion of the cutting head may be anchored to cutting machine shaft, for example, and the upper portion may be rotated, against spring bias, relative to the temporarily-stationary lower portion. A lock may be included to ensure that the upper portion does not open until desired, for example, by including a rigid plate or arm that, in a first position, extends through portions of both the upper portion and the lower portion. The lock plate or arm may extend into the cutting head from the top or the side, for example. When manually and purposefully pushed inward, the lock plate or arm will move so that is no longer resides in both upper and lower portions, so that said upper portion is free to rotate relative to the lower portion.

US Patent:
8640588, Feb 4, 2014
Filed:
Feb 1, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/018623
Inventors:
Gordon Strader - Boise ID, US
International Classification:
B26D 7/26, B26B 9/00, B26B 7/00, A01D 34/00, A01D 34/52, A01D 34/73
US Classification:
8369841, 30276, 30347, 56 127, 56295
Abstract:
A generally cylindrical cutting head for a weed cutting machine has blades that are exposed and lifted off of the head when an upper portion is rotated, with respect to a lower portion and/or a cap, without tools and without disassembly of the structure. A lock ensures that the upper portion does not open until desired, by a rigid plate or aim extending, in the locked position, through portions of both the upper portion and the lower portion, or through portions of both the upper portion and a cap portion. The lock plate/arm may extend into the cutting head from the top, bottom, or side. When pushed inward, the lock plate or arm moves to no longer reside in both upper and lower portions, or both upper and cap portions, to free the upper portion to rotate relative to the lower portion and cap.
