Claims26
A spacer for an adjacent pair of rotary working blades wherein the pair of rotary working blades are configured to be supported by a main shaft for centers of the blades and positioned on at least one rod that will be spaced radially outward from the main shaft and extending parallel thereto, the spacer comprising at least one ring segment for extending at least partly around the at least one rod, at least one branch extending away from the at least one ring segment, at least one arm extending from the at least one branch, at least one arm extending arcuately away from the at least one ring segment having a radius of curvature less than a radius of curvature of a blade with which the spacer is to be used, and wherein the spacer is substantially a constant thickness in the axial direction.
A spacer for spacing apart a pair of rotary working blades wherein the spacer includes a plurality of ring segments configured for receiving a respective rod of a blade head, wherein at least first and second ring segments in the plurality of ring segments include a respective branch extending from the ring segment.
