Abstract
Power-driven work tool including a shank (2, 3), a drive motor (4), and a working tool (1) driven by the motor. The working tool is rotatable around at least one axis perpendicular to the shank by a controller (8). The controller is attached to the shank and connected to the working tool or a bracket thereof by a wire or rod (10), which transmits pulling or pushing force. The motor (4) is at one end of the shank (2, 3) and adapted to drive the working tool (1) provided at the other end of the shank via a drive shaft extending through the shank. The shank is provided at the end thereof connected to the working tool with a hinge (6) for angular movement of the working means, and the drive shaft provided in the shank (2, 3) is connected to the working tool via a flexible shaft extending through the hinge (6).
Claims8
Power-driven work tool comprising a shank (2, 3), an engine (4;
- 21) disposed at one end of said shank, and a working means (1) connected by a hinge (6) to said shank at an opposite end of said shank, said working means being rotatable around two mutually perpendicular axes, said axes being perpendicular to said shank, said engine driving said working means via a drive shaft (11, 12) that extends through said shank, wherein a control means (8) is provided on said shank and is connected to said working means such that said working means is rotated around said axis by manipulation of said control means.
Power-driven work tool comprising a shank, an engine disposed at one end of said shank, and a working means connected by a hinge to said shank at an opposite end of said shank, said working means being rotatable around at least one axis perpendicular to said shank, said engine driving said working means via a drive shaft that extends through said shank, wherein a control means is provided on said shank and is connected to said working means such that said working means is rotated around said axis by manipulation of said control means, wherein the control means (8) comprises a handle used for handling the work tool, said handle being mounted for at least one of tilting movement (arrow C) in the longitudinal direction of the shank (2, 3) and rotational movement (arrow B) around an axis perpendicular to said shank to thereby obtain a desired angular movement of the working means.
Power-driven work tool comprising a shank, an engine disposed at one end of said shank, and a working means connected by a hinge to said shank at an opposite end of said shank, said working means being rotatable around at least one axis perpendicular to said shank, said engine driving said working means via a drive shaft that extends through said shank, wherein a control means is provided on said shank and is connected to said working means such that said working means is rotated around said axis by manipulation of said control means, wherein the shank comprises telescopically interconnected front and rear shank portions (2, 3), the working means (1) and the control means (8), which includes a handle to be held by one hand of the operator, are supported on the front shank portion (2), and the rear shank portion (3) is adapted to be held by the other hand of the operator.
