Abstract
Gardening tool. A blade adapted to work the ground constitutes one side of a frame which is pivotably mounted on the housing of the tool about a shaft forming the opposite side of the frame. Drive elements within the housing are connected to a third side of the frame through transmission elements within the housing so as to impart to the blade a continuous pivotal vibratory movement. A detachable handle connected to the housing enables the latter to be handled. A cooling fan in the housing discharges air through orifices in the upper end of the handle.
Claims11
A gardening tool comprising a housing, a substantially rectangular frame, a substantially flat blade defining two major parallel surfaces and said blade being mounted on the frame and constituting a first side of the frame for working the ground while said flat surfaces of said blade are substantially parallel with the ground surface, a shaft defining an axis and forming a second side of said frame opposite to the said first side thereof, bearing means provided in said housing for rotatably receiving said shaft thereby allowing pivotable movement of said frame about said axis, drive means disposed within the housing, transmission means also disposed within the housing and drivingly connecting the drive means to the frame to impart to the frame a continuous pivotal vibratory movement, and handling means connected to the housing for handling the tool.
A gardening tool comprising a housing, a blade for working the ground mounted to be vibratable relative to the housing, drive means disposed within the housing, transmission means also disposed within the housing and drivingly connecting the drive means to the blade to impart to the blade a continuous vibratory movement, and handling means connected to the housing for handling the tool wherein the handling means comprise a tubular body connected to said housing and constituting a conduit and cooling air inlet orifices are formed in the tubular body near to an end of the tubular body remote from the housing, and the drive means are disposed in a compartment which is defined in the housing and communicates with the tubular body and with the remaining space of the housing through fan means which are drivingly connected to said drive means and discharge air into said remaining space, said remaining space communicating with the exterior of said housing.
