Abstract
A working machine may include: an output shaft; a rotary blade attached to the output shaft; a prime mover configured to rotate the output shaft; a housing that houses the prime mover and rotatably supports the output shaft; and a blade cover attached to the housing. The sidewall of the blade cover may include a first stopper and a second stopper. The facing portion of the housing may include a first stopper receiver and a second stopper receiver. When the blade cover is pivoted in a first pivot direction of the blade cover, the first stopper may contact the first stopper receiver. When the blade cover is further pivoted in the first pivot direction from a state where the first stopper is in contact with the first stopper receiver, the second stopper may contact the second stopper receiver.
Claims14
A working machine comprising:
- an output shaft;
- a rotary blade attached to the output shaft;
- a prime mover configured to rotate the output shaft;
- a housing that houses the prime mover and rotatably supports the output shaft;
- and
- a blade cover attached to the housing such that the blade cover is pivotable with respect to the housing about a pivot axis substantially coincident with a rotation axis of the output shaft,
- wherein the blade cover comprises a sidewall covering at least a part of a side surface of the rotary blade,
- the housing comprises a facing portion that faces a side surface of the sidewall that is opposite to a side surface of the sidewall that faces the side surface of the rotary blade,
- the sidewall comprises a first stopper and a second stopper,
- the facing portion comprises a first stopper receiver and a second stopper receiver,
- when the blade cover is pivoted in a first pivot direction of the blade cover, the first stopper contacts the first stopper receiver at a first contact position from an upstream side of the first pivot direction,
- when the blade cover is further pivoted in the first pivot direction from a state where the first stopper is in contact with the first stopper receiver, the second stopper contacts the second stopper receiver at a second contact position from the upstream side of the first pivot direction, and
- in the state where the first stopper is in contact with the first stopper receiver, an angle formed by a line connecting the second stopper and the pivot axis and a line connecting the second stopper receiver and the pivot axis is within a range from 0° to 2°.
A working machine comprising:
- an output shaft;
- a rotary blade attached to the output shaft;
- a prime mover configured to rotate the output shaft;
- a housing that houses the prime mover and rotatably supports the output shaft;
- and
- a blade cover attached to the housing such that the blade cover is pivotable with respect to the housing about a pivot axis substantially coincident with a rotation axis of the output shaft,
- wherein the blade cover comprises a sidewall covering at least a part of a side surface of the rotary blade,
- the housing comprises a facing portion that faces a side surface of the sidewall that is opposite to a side surface of the sidewall that faces the side surface of the rotary blade,
- the sidewall comprises a first stopper and a second stopper,
- the facing portion comprises a first stopper receiver and a second stopper receiver,
- when the blade cover is pivoted in a first pivot direction of the blade cover, the first stopper contacts the first stopper receiver at a first contact position from an upstream side of the first pivot direction,
- when the blade cover is further pivoted in the first pivot direction from a state where the first stopper is in contact with the first stopper receiver, the second stopper contacts the second stopper receiver at a second contact position from the upstream side of the first pivot direction,
- the first contact position and the second contact position are offset from each other in a radial direction of the pivot axis, and
- the first contact position is offset radially outward from the second contact position.
