A first engaged part may be disposed on a first side surface of the fixed plate and a second engaged part may be disposed on a second side surface of the fixed plate. The chip receiver may include a base part mounted on the fixed plate, a receiving part and an attachment part. The attachment part may include first engaging part, a second engaging part configured to be movable between an engaging position and a non-engaging position, and a manipulation part configured to move the second engaging part from the engaging position to the non-engaging position in response to a user operation. An upper surface of the base part is flat.
Claims6
A hedge trimmer comprising:
- a body housing;
- a fixed plate attached to the body housing and extending forward from a front part of the body housing;
- a blade attached to the fixed plate, configured to be movable in a front-rear direction with respect to the fixed plate and extending forward from the front part of the body housing;
- and
- a chip receiver detachably attached to the fixed plate, wherein a first engaged part is disposed on a first side surface, the first side surface being one of a left side surface of the fixed plate and a right side surface of the fixed plate, and a second engaged part is disposed on a second side surface, the second surface being the other of the left side surface and the right side surface,
- wherein the chip receiver comprises:
- a base part mounted on the fixed plate;
- a receiving part connected to the base part and configured to receive cut branches and leaves;
- and
- an attachment part configured to attach the chip receiver to the fixed plate, wherein the attachment part comprises:
- a first engaging part fixed to the base part or the receiving part and configured to engage with the first engaged part,
- a second engaging part supported by the base part or the receiving part and configured to be movable between an engaging position in which the second engaging part is engaged with the second engaged part and a non-engaging position in which the second engaging part is not engaged with the second engaged part, and
- a manipulation part configured to move the second engaging part from the engaging position to the non-engaging position in response to a user operation,
- wherein an upper surface of the base part is flat.

- a first engaging part fixed to the base part or the receiving part and configured to engage with the first engaged part,
- a second engaging part supported by the base part or the receiving part and configured to be movable between an engaging position in which the second engaging part engages with the second engaged part and a non-engaging position in which the second engaging part does not engage with the second engaged part, and
- an operation part configured to move the second engaging part from the engaging position to the non-engaging position in response to a user operation,
- wherein the manipulation part is disposed at the receiving part,
- wherein the receiving part is disposed on a second surface side with respect to the base part, and
- the second engaging part is disposed at the receiving part of the chip receiver,
- wherein the first engaging part is integrally formed with the base part,
- wherein the manipulation part is configured to be manipulable along a first direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction, and
- the second engaging part is configured to move along the first direction when the manipulation part is manipulated in the first direction.
