Claims7
A foliage trimmer comprising:
- first and second elongated blades disposed in facial engagement with each other to define a blade assembly,
- each elongated blade having two elongated major faces and two elongated side edges interconnecting the major faces to define a longitudinal axis for the blade assembly, at least one side edge of each blade having cutter teeth extending therealong, the cutter teeth on the two blades being in overlapping cutting relationship,
- each said blade being curved in a plane coincident with the blade longitudinal axis and parallel to the planes of the blade longitudinal side edges, whereby one of the major faces on each blade has a convex arcuate contour, and the other major face on each blade has a concave arcuate contour,
- said blades being relatively slidable so that the convex arcuate face on the first blade is slidably engaged with the concave arcuate face on the second blade, and
- motor means operatively connected to one of said blades for reciprocating said one blade longitudinally relative to the other blade while the blades are maintained in facial engagement.
