  • Patent number: 9820444
    Abstract: A lopper a lopping assembly mounted to an upper end of a pole, said lopping assembly includes a movable knife and a counter knife. The movable knife is connected via a first transmission and connection assembly to an operating assembly disposed at a lower end of the pole, which is configured to move the movable knife and/or the counter knife in a direction to one another. The operating assembly includes first and second actuating elements. The first actuating element is coupled to the first transmission and connection assembly and the second actuating element is coupled via a second transmission and connection assembly and releasable latching assembly to the first actuating element. Movement of the second actuating element away from the first actuation element causes, via the second transmission and connection assembly, a movement of the first actuating element in said first direction.

  • Patent number: 7191704
    Abstract: A conveyor unit for conveying flat objects includes at least first, second and third endless belts, together with a cylinder. The first endless belt extends along a part of the circumference of the cylinder and forms, with the cylinder circumference, a section of a path of conveyance for the objects. The second and third belts define another section of the path of conveyance.

  • Patent number: 6691995
    Abstract: A conveying unit that is useable for the conveyance of generally flat objects, particularly in a folder of a rotary printing press, includes endless first and second belts and a roller. A conveying path for the flat objects extends initially between the two belts and then subsequently between the second belt and the surface of the roller. The second belt is driven by a drive device at a speed which can be regulated independently of the rotational speed of the roller.

  • Patent number: 6195970
    Abstract: In a tool, the terminal contacts of a battery pack which can be removed from the tool can be connected to the terminal contacts of the drive motor via a bow plug, and for this purpose the terminal contacts of battery pack and motor are arranged parallel to one another in the installed state of the battery pack. The battery pack can only be separated from the tool after the bow plug has been pulled off. Instead of the bridging bow plug, it is possible to attach a charging plug, which connects the terminals of the battery pack to a charging appliance.

  • Patent number: 5447019
    Abstract: In a garden appliance provided with a traveling drive, the tools, for example a mowing tool, are driven by a motor which is also coupled to the drive wheels. Connected between the motor and drive wheels is a gear which reduces the speed of the drive wheels with increasing output requirement or increasing torque, and vice versa. As a result, it is, for example, effected that in the case of a high resistance to mowing the advance of the mower is less than in the case of a low resistance to mowing. A V-belt pulley gear with variable radii can be used as the gear, the axial adjustment of the V-belt pulley halves being effected as a function of the load torque. This setting can be performed against the action of return springs via helical threads which can be constructed, for example, in the form of a ball self-closure.

  • Patent number: 5317806
    Abstract: One arm (30) of the pruning shears is connected via a swivel joint to the end of a guide handle. The swivel joint has a hinge pin (32) the axis of which intersects the axis of the handle at a right angle and is on a line with the guide groove of a cable pulley (24) which is mounted between fork arms (20) which protrude laterally from the end of the handle. By means of a traction cable (48), the arms of the shears can be locked in any angular position of the swivel joint. A locking knob (36) presses the interlocking fork arms (26, 28) of the end of the handle or the arm (30) of the shears together, as a result of which they are fixed in position by friction.

  • Patent number: 5159757
    Abstract: Hand shears (1), particularly those which can be used as branch, hedge and/or garden shears, comprise two shearing blades (2, 3) which can be tilted toward or away from one another by two hand levers (4 and 5) about a common joint (6). The hand levers (4 and 5) are joined to one another directly independently of the shearing blades (2 and 3) by means of a second joint (8) which is offset parallel to the shearing blades joint (6). The shearing blade (2) is rigidly connected with a hand lever (4), while the other shearing blade (3) has a driving arm (9), which protrudes beyond the shearing blade joint (6) and to which one end of a coupler (10) is hinged at the linking axis (11). By way of its other end, the coupler (10) is attached also through a linking axis (12) to the second hand lever (5). The two hand levers (4 and 5) and the two shearing blades (2 and 3) together form a four-joint system.

  • Patent number: 4696107
    Abstract: In pruning shears a rope-and-pulley device is incorporated between the shears legs in such a manner that by pulling the free end of the rope an amplified closing force is obtained. For convenient remote operation one shears leg force lever arm is connected fixedly or detachably to a handle of any desired length, by a handle securing coupling which extends parallel to the shears leg. An opening spring biases the shears in the opening direction.
