  • Patent number: 6779749
    Abstract: An electric-powered lawnmower having a manoeuvering planar handle, a reel member having a hollow shaft and a pair of integral spaced apart spokes for winding an electrical extension cord therebetween. A reel support polygonal panel having a transverse socket engages the hollow shaft, wherein the shaft is freely rotatable within the socket. The panel defines two opposite side edge portions forming registering concave cavities. An anchor bar member has attachment members anchoring the anchor member to the lawnmower planar handle generally coplanar thereto. The anchor bar member includes a dovetail cavity, frictionally wedgingly yet releasably receiving the panel concave cavities. The reel member socket defines a rotational axis generally orthogonal to the plane of the planar handle.
