Patent number: 11910741Abstract: A planting tool includes a tube element with an inlet end and an outlet end. A ground support is rotatably connected to the tube element via a pivot point and includes a first part with a pedal area and a second part with a hatch area. A mechanism has a first clamp and a second clamp. In an open state the mechanism prevents movement between the hatch area and the outlet end and maintains the hatch area at a distance from the outlet end by contact between the first and second clamp. In a closed state the mechanism prevents movement between the hatch area and the outlet end and maintains the hatch area in contact with the outlet end. The first clamp includes a switch allowing a user to change position of the first clamp to switch the state of the mechanism from the open state to the closed state.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Fiskars Finland Oy AbInventor: Vesa Poutiainen

Patent number: 10858217Abstract: A hose reel includes a frame, a reel rotatably arranged within the frame and a rewind mechanism with a spring. A removable lid is attached to the frame and encloses an inside of the hose reel from all directions to prevent a user of the hose reel from accessing the inside of the hose reel. An axle is rotatable in relation to the reel. A first end of the spring is attached to the reel and a second end of the spring is attached to the axle. The axle has an outer end connected to the lid to prevent mutual rotation between the lid and the outer end in a direction which decreases the spring force of the spring.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Fiskars Finland Oy AbInventor: Vesa Poutiainen

Patent number: 10737903Abstract: A hose reel includes a frame, a reel, a rewind mechanism with a spring and a guide mechanism with a guide. The guide mechanism moves the guide back and forth on a path while the reel is rotated for distributing the hose evenly onto the reel by the guide. To obtain a freestanding hose reel with a rewind mechanism the hose reel includes a ground support with contact areas supporting the hose reel from a base. The frame is attached to the ground support in a position where the rotation axis of the reel is perpendicular relatively to the base, and the reel is provided with a hose joint in a lowermost part of the reel and the guide mechanism is configured to move the guide to a lowermost point of the path when the hose is completely pulled out from the reel.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Fiskars Finland Oy AbInventor: Vesa Poutiainen
