Abstract
A cutting apparatus including a plurality of laser beams for cutting vegetation. The apparatus comprises a housing including side walls being extended generally perpendicular to form a downwardly oriented opening. An electrically powered laser cutting device is positioned centrally within the housing. A transport device is connectable to the housing to provide movement of the housing and laser cutting device along a surface covered by vegetation. The laser cutting device generates at least one laser beam that is directed downward underneath the housing.
Claims1
An apparatus for cutting vegetation, the apparatus controlled by a user for movement along a surface covered by vegetation, said apparatus comprising:
- a housing including a first surface and at least one side wall being extended generally perpendicular and downwardly from said first surface, said housing having a second surface being faced in an opposed direction from said first surface, said housing having an opening being positioned downwardly and being bound by said at least one side wall and at least one upper interior side wall, said opening being positioned proximate the vegetation being cut during operation;
- a laser cutting means being powered and positioned on said upper interior side wall within said housing;
- at least one laser beam being generated by said laser cutting means, said at least one laser beam being directed downward through the said opening during operation of said apparatus for cutting vegetation positioned proximate within said opening;
- a control means positioned proximate said housing, said laser cutting means being controlled by said control means for intensity, strength, and effective height of said at least one laser beam;
- a power means being detachably connected to said housing, said power means provides power to said laser cutting means;
- and
- a transport means being connectable to said housing, said transport means being movable by the user at a variable speed along the surface covered by vegetation while said laser cutting means and at least one laser beam rotates within said housing.
