  • Patent number: 12291926
    Abstract: An auger system may include a powerhead, a bit, and an anchoring device. A collar on the bit may be attachable to a rotatable output shaft of the powerhead with a coupler that is positionable around the collar. The collar may include a passageway that does not intersect the rotation axis of the output shaft. The coupler may have a pin that is positionable to extend into the passageway to engage part of the output shaft to resist removal of the bit from the output shaft. The anchoring device may have a tube that is positionable to rest in slots between two lobes extending from a frame of the powerhead. A pintle assembly may pass through the tube and the lobes to rotatably mount the anchoring device on the frame. A toggle and a spring in the pintle assembly may keep the pintle assembly in position.

  • Publication number: 20250098571
    Abstract: A cutting head body for an agricultural machine, such as a mower or a trimmer, is configured to receive a cutting line for cutting weeds, grass, or other materials. The cutting head body includes an inlet area having a cavity with a node location configured to receive a node of a cutting line, and an outlet area having a cavity configured to open to an exterior of the cutting head body. The cutting head body may include a first passageway connecting the inlet area to the outlet area and a second passageway connecting the inlet area to the outlet area. The cutting head body is rotatable about a rotational axis to move the cutting line. In some embodiments, the cutting head body is fixed to a rotatable shaft. In some embodiments, the cutting head body rotates about a fixed shaft.
