Abstract: This invention relates to a movement transfer mechanism for a portable power tool, such as a cutting device. The mechanism includes a movement transfer block, a shaft configured to be linked to a driving means, wherein the shaft includes a head configured to engage with the movement transfer block, a linking arm to a working element, which may be a cutting blade, the linking arm configured to engage with the movement transfer block, the mechanism characterised in that the movement transfer block includes a first aperture substantially in line with the head of the drive shaft, and a second aperture substantially inline with the linking arm of the working element. Rotation of the drive shaft causes reciprocal movement of the linking arm, and therefore movement of the working element with which the linking arm engages.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a shoe for an animal characterised in that the material for fabrication of the show has properties similar to, or identical to a homogenous block of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam, wherein the type of EVA foam is selected from 190 EVA to 450 EVA.

Abstract: A metering device is described which provides for very accurate metering of granular material such as seeds or fertilizer. The device incorporates two main components: a solid casing having a slot with an open side and decreasing cross-section, and a corresponding rotor which frictionally urges material along the slot. The rotor has a resilient surface and can be in the shape of a disc or of a roller to correspond with the shape of the casing. The device allows significant savings in the spreading of granular material over conventional devices.
