Claims5
A unitary one-piece cutting blade molded from a durable high strength plastic material and comprising:
- a unitary blade body constructed of durable nylon having a central generally planar hub having an axis of rotation and outer radius, and a co-axially disposed shaft receiving bore for mounting on a rotatable shaft;
- and
- a plurality of cutting arms extending outward from said hub and each arm having a pair of opposed generally straight edges extending tangentally from the outer radius of the hub to the outer end thereof at an angle of from about 12 to 17 degrees from a radial line through the axis tapering downward toward the tip, at least one of said edges being a cutting edge.
A unitary one-piece cutting blade molded from a durable high strength plastic material and comprising:
- a unitary blade body constructed of durable nylon having a central generally planar hub having an axis of rotation and outer radius, and a co-axially disposed shaft receiving bore for mounting on a rotatable shaft including a first plurality of tabs having a first length and a second plurality having a second length extending from the walls of said bore inwardly toward the axis thereof, for altering the effective size of the bore for fitting multiple size shafts and;
- a plurality of cutting arms extending outward from said hub and having a generally straight cutting edge extending tangentally from the outer radius of the hub substantially to the outer end thereof at an angle of from about 12 to 17 degrees from a radial line through the axis.
