Abstract: A blade mounting device is operable for mounting a blade on a movable member of a cutting member which is moved in a predetermined motion for a cutting operation. The blade mounting device includes a pair of claws mounted on the movable member and operable by an operator between a closed position for clamping the blade and an open position for releasing the blade. A first and a second thread mechanism are provided for converting the rotation of the actuation member into an axial movement of the actuation member relative to the movable member and for converting the rotation of the actuation member into an axial movement of the claws relative to the actuation member.

Abstract: The invention provides a quick blade attachment structure For quickly but securely attaching and detaching one or a plurality of blades to and from a mower. A rotary member (3) of a mower (1) includes a blade holder (4) and a support member (5) coaxially attached to the blade holder (4) to allow pivotal movement of the support member (5). A pair of blades (23,23) are supported by ends (9a, 9a) of rimmed pins (9,9) projected from a lower surface (4a) of the blade holder (4). A wave washer (16) is interposed between the support member (5) and a cap (17). When the rotary member (3) is assembled by a clamp screw (18), pressing force of the wave washer (16) allows the support member (5) to be rotated integrally with the blade holder (4). The support member (5) further has a pair of grooves (12).
