Abstract: The invention relates to a cutter guard (13, 14) in clearing assemblies (1) provided with a cutter (3) mounted on a shaft (6) and rotatable by means of a motor (11), said shaft (6) being carried in a body (8), the guard comprising a hub section (13) provided in association with the cutter (3) and essentially coaxial with the shaft (6), the hub section (13) having a diameter which is less than the diameter of the rotatable cutter (3) and carrying a plurality of fixed arms (14) which extend outwards beyond the periphery of the cutter (3).
Abstract: The invention relates to a rotatable blade (11) for clearing units having a plurality of teeth (1) spaced around the periphery of the blade. The teeth (1) are dismountable and/or replaceable and symmetrically shaped with several cutting edges (3), each tooth fitting into a locking recess (10) in the blade (11) with a shape corresponding to the shape of the tooth such that only one of the cutting edges (3) of the tooth projects from the blade, the remaining cutting edges (3) being located in the recess (10). The tooth (3) can be removed from the recess (10), rotated and replaced in the recess (10) such that a new cutting edge (3) projects from the blade.
Abstract: The invention relates to a blade-protecting device (13, 14) for cleaning units (1) being provided with a rotary cutter or blade (3) which is supported on a shaft (6) and which can be rotated by means of a motor (11). The shaft (6) is mounted in a body (8). The blade-protecting device (13, 14) comprises a hub part (13) having a diameter being smaller than the diameter or the largest dimension of the rotatable blade (3). This hub part (13) is arranged substantially coaxially with the shaft (6) adjacent the blade (3) and is freely rotatable relatively to the body (8). A number of fixed, substantially radially oriented arms (14) are rigidly attached to the hub part and extend past the periphery of the blade or of the circle described by the rotating blade, said arms (14) preferably being arranged in locations spaced equiangularly around the hub part.
