  • Publication number: 20100077621
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vegetation cutting tool. In particular, the present invention relates to a powered vegetation cutting tool and more particularly to a linkage mechanism for a powered vegetation cutting tool. We describe a vegetation cutting tool comprising a cutting head, a motor and transmission means drivable by the motor. The cutting head includes first and second cutter members having respective cutting surfaces, wherein the first cutter member is pivotably mounted with respect to the second cutter member. Additionally, at least the first cutter member is drivable by the transmission means between a first angular position with respect to the second cutter member, in which a space is formed between the respective cutting surfaces, and a second angular position with respect to the second cutter member, in which the space between the respective cutting surfaces is closed.

  • Publication number: 20100071218
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a switch-operating mechanism. In particular, the present invention relates to a switch-operating mechanism for a power tool, such as a pruning tool. Described is a switch-operating mechanism for a powered tool including a working head having first and second cutter members. The switch-operating mechanism further includes a lever moveable between first, second, and third operative positions. In operation, positioning of the lever in the first operative position provides a ‘power off mode’ in which the power supply is disconnected; movement of the lever into the second operative position causes the at least one of the cutter members to move to a first blade position; and movement of the lever into the third operative position causes the at least one of the cutter members to move to a second blade position.

  • Publication number: 20060070367
    Abstract: The present invention relates to improvements in or relating to lawnmowers. In particular it relates to improvements enabling lawnmowers cut grass on the extreme edge of the lawnmower which would otherwise be missed by the cutter blade. We describe a lawnmower having a body or deck movable across a lawn surface and housing a cutter element within a cutter chamber, the cutting element defining a lawnmower cutting width. The lawnmower further comprises a vegetation guide which comprises at least one generally elongate guide element provided on at least one outside edge of the lawnmower body adjacent the cutter chamber such that at least a portion of the guide extends outwardly beyond the lawnmower cutting width. Preferably, the guide includes an inner profile adapted to divert vegetation from a path which is parallel to the direction of travel of the lawnmower to a path which is directed inwardly towards the cutter chamber.

  • Publication number: 20050170885
    Abstract: An operator configurable gaming device operable to display a cash out screen or interface preferably every time the player presses the cash out button of the gaming device. After pressing the cash out button, the game presents a screen which provides for more flexible cash outs than in known gaming systems. The screen enables the player to select one or more methods of payment.

  • Patent number: 5270221
    Abstract: A method for fabricating thinned, back-illuminated, solid state image sensors 10 includes steps of positively doping a bottom surface 22 of a top semiconductor wafer 24, and bonding the bottom surface 22 of the top semiconductor wafer 24 to a top surface 26 of a bottom semiconductor wafer 28 with a silicon dioxide passivation layer 34 in between. The top wafer 24 is thinned and an insulating layer of silicon dioxide 36 and a polysilicon gate structure 38 are formed thereover. Individual dies 40 are then formed, which are bonded to a substrate 42 along each pixel face. The bottom semiconductor wafer layer 28 is etched away to expose the silicon dioxide passivation layer 34, which acts to protect the thinned top wafer layer 24. The dies 40 are then etched to expose bonding pads within the gate structure 38, and sized to create thinned, back-illuminated, solid state image sensors 10.
