  • Patent number: 10736403
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a back-mounted power tool system. The power tool system includes a battery package that can be used on other power tool systems, a backpack apparatus, a power tool, and a connecting member. The backpack apparatus includes a backpack harness to mount the backpack apparatus onto a user's body and a first connector to removably couple the battery package to the backpack apparatus. The power tool includes a motor driven by a power supply from the battery package. The connecting member transfers a weight of the power tool and/or a force received from the power tool to the backpack apparatus by rotatably coupling the power tool to the backpack apparatus. The connecting member further enables the power tool to rotate about a first rotation axis or a second rotation axis, the first rotation axis being perpendicular to the second rotation axis.

  • Patent number: 10729066
    Abstract: A self-propelled machine includes a drive motor, a handle having two grips, an electromechanical converting device, and a speed adjusting element configured to move relative to the handle to adjust a rotational speed of the drive motor and configured to be operated by a user when the user holds one of the two grips with a single hand. The speed adjusting element is disposed between the two grips. The electromechanical converting device is configured to convert a positional change of the speed adjusting element into an electrical signal for adjusting the rotational speed of the drive motor. The speed adjusting element is movable between a first position and a second position. The rotational speed of the drive motor when the speed adjusting element is in the first position is greater than the rotational speed of the drive motor when the speed adjusting element is in the second position.

  • Publication number: 20200236848
    Abstract: A trimmer head includes a spool formed with a winding portion for winding a trimmer line and a head housing formed with an accommodating space for accommodating at least a portion of the spool. The trimmer head further includes an intermediate element for transmitting a torque between the spool and the head housing such that one of the spool and the head housing rotates with the other. The spool drives the intermediate element to rotate and the intermediate element is slidably connected to the spool in a direction along a rotation axis or parallel to the rotation axis. The spool does not move in the axial direction when the trimmer head of the grass trimmer is playing the trimmer line, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of the trimmer line jamming.
