Hedge trimmer

A hand held trimmer for cutting heavy vegetation such as hedges or the like is disclosed. The trimmer includes a handle having a centrally disposed hand grip thereon. The handle includes mounting means for a conventional cutting means at one end and a convention motor at the other. The trimmer cutting means and trimmer motor are preferably disposed at substantially opposite ends of the handle such that the weight of one substantially counterbalances the weight of the other. A resilient drive shaft means is disposed within the handle and extends between the motor to the reciprocating blade drive means so as to substantially avoid damaging the motor and the drive means should the trimmer reciprocating blades become temporarily jammed during operation. The handle preferably includes a first grip centrally disposed between the cutting means and the trimmer motor and a second hand grip position on the cutting means end of the handle such that the trimmer may be actuated using one hand on said centrally disposed grip or two hands on said handles, so as to permit the operator to comfortably trim along a substantially horizontal, vertical, inclined or curvilinear surface.

Hand held trimmer for cutting vegetation such as hedges and the like

A hand held trimmer for cutting heavy vegetation such as hedges or the like is disclosed. The trimmer includes a handle having a plurality of hand grips thereon. The handle includes mounting means for a conventional cutting means at one end and a convention motor at the other. The trimmer cutting and trimmer motor are preferably disposed at substantially opposite ends of the handle such that the weight of one substantially counterbalances the weight of the other. A resilient drive shaft means is disposed within the handle and extends between the motor to the reciprocating blade drive means so as to substantially avoid damaging the motor and the drive means should the trimmer reciprocating blades become temporarily jammed during operation. The handle preferably includes three grips positioned at the apices of a substantially inverted triangle such that the trimmer may be actuated using one hand on the lower grip or two hands on either the upper grips, or one of the upper grips in combination with the lower grip, so as to permit the operator to comfortably trim along a substantially horizontal, vertical, inclined or curvilinear surface.

String trimmer

An edger is provided with a rotatable cutting blade for trimming grass, weeds, and the like, wherein the angular orientation of the cutting blade is quickly and easily adjusted to a selected one of several cutting positions. The cutting blade is driven by a motor mounted within a motor housing which is in turn supported for rotation about a longitudinal axis between a front wheel assembly and a rear wheel assembly. A locking mechanism carried by the motor housing has a pair of spring-biased lugs normally received into locking recesses in the front and rear wheel assemblies to lock the motor housing at a selected rotational position and thereby lock the cutting blade at a selected angular orientation. The locking mechanism is manually retractable to withdraw the lugs simultaneously from their respective locking recesses to permit rotation of the motor housing simultaneously with respect to the front and rear wheel assemblies to alter the angular orientation of the cutting blade. In addition, the front wheel assembly includes at least one front wheel carried at the distal end of a pivot arm supported for pivoting movement about a transverse axis to adjust the vertical position of the wheel and thereby adjust the elevation of the cutting blade. A spring-loaded locking disk normally engages one side of the pivot arm to prevent wheel elevation adjustment and is retractable manually to permit wheel elevation adjustment.
