Abstract
A tree pruner includes a base member that has a connector connected to a shaft and a main plate longitudinally securely connected to the connector. A first groove is defined in the main plate and downward extends to a periphery of the main plate. A second groove is defined in the main plate and upwardly extends to the periphery of the main plate. A blade is pivotally mounted on the main plate. The blade includes a first side forming a first cutting edge corresponding to and moved within the first groove and a second side forming a second cutting edge corresponding to and moved within the second groove. A driving device is attached to the second side of the blade for reciprocally driving the blade.
Claims2
A tree pruner comprising:
- a base member including:
- a connector adapted to be connected to a shaft;
- a main plate longitudinally securely connected to the connector;
- a first groove defined in the main plate and downward extending to an periphery of the main plate;
- a second groove defined in the main plate and upwardly extending to the periphery of the main plate;
- and
- a roller rotatably mounted on lower end of the connector;
- a blade pivotally mounted on the main plate and including:
- a first side forming a first cutting edge corresponding to and moved within the first groove in the main plate;
- a second side forming a second cutting edge corresponding to and moved within the second groove in the main plate;
- and
- a protrusion extending from the second side of the blade;
- and
- a driving device attached to the protrusion of the blade for reciprocally driving the blade and including:
- a pulley mounted to a distal end opposite to the blade;
- a rope having a first end secured on the pulley and being coiled the roller and the pulley and a second end adapted to be hold by a user to drive the driving device;
- a spring mounted between the driving device and the main plate to provide a restitution force to the driving device, the spring having two opposite ends respectively securely connected to the driving device and the main plate;
- and
- a lever attached to the second side of the blade and an auxiliary rod slidably mounted on the lever, the auxiliary rod selectively longitudinally extending relative to the lever to elongate a moment of the driving device.
