Ergonomic gripping mechanisms of battery-operated electric cutting apparatus are provided. The electric cutting apparatus may include a cantilevered cutting head, an adjustable telescoping shaft, a rear grip portion, a pistol grip, and a forearm shaft. The adjustable telescoping shaft may be pivotally connected to the cantilevered cutting head. The rear grip portion may have a first end connected to the adjustable telescoping shaft. The pistol grip may have a first end extending at a first angle from the second end of the rear grip portion. The forearm shaft may extend from the second end of the pistol grip at a second angle. The forearm shaft may have a top side comprising a forearm pad having an exterior surface configured to receive a forearm of a user. The exterior surface of the forearm pad may be parallel to an axis defined by a longitudinal extension of the adjustable telescoping shaft.

Provided is a battery-powered working machine including a protective bracket which is able to be secured to a casing while being in engagement with a battery pack, which is capable of preventing theft of the battery pack, and which separates a casing-side connection terminal from a battery-side connection terminal at a distance to keep the casing-side and battery-side connection terminals and out of contact with each other.

A rotatingly drivable filament cutting head for a trimmer, having a basic body on which a cutting filament is held. The cutting filament extends from outside the basic body through an opening into an interior region of the filament cutting head open to the surrounding area. A stop is arranged on the filament cutting head, so that, in a first position of the cutting filament, the stop delimits a filament portion of the cutting filament, which is insertable into the interior region, to an insertion length. A deflection element is arranged in the interior region so that the cutting filament can be switched from its first position, without the cutting filament being longitudinally displaced, into a second position. The cutting filament abuts against the deflection element in its second position and the stop does not delimit the length of the filament portion which is insertable into the interior region.

A modular leaf shredder is provided. The modular leaf shredder includes a housing having a plurality of interlocking housing subsections. The modular leaf shredder further includes a trimmer connector adapted to form a physical connection with a cooperating member of a trimmer in order to physically join the housing to the trimmer. The head of the trimmer includes a rotating head having at least three sets of cutting wires, at least two sets of cutting wires being substantially perpendicular to each other.

A weed trimmer extension system for cutting and collecting, or dispersing weeds includes a cutting enclosure, to which can be attached a collecting bag or a cutting disperser; a replacement cutting implement; and enclosure fasteners, for attaching the weed trimmer extension system to a weed trimmer. The cutting implement can further include a cutting blade; a cutting string with a greater cutting radius so the cutting string can operate close to an obstruction, without the cutting blade causing damage to the obstruction; and a perpendicular fin, which pushes air in a circular direction of motion, thereby creating a vortex of air, which rotates in the plane spanned out by the rotating cutting blade. The cutting enclosure covers the replacement cutting implement, which propels the cuttings, contained and directed by the cutting enclosure, into either the collecting bag or the cutting disperser, which disperses the weed cuttings.

A grass trimmer includes a cutting head for mounting a cutting member, a drive head having a output shaft for driving the cutting head to rotate, and an anti-winding member for preventing the output shaft from being wound to by grass. The drive head includes a drive device to drive the output shaft and a head housing for accommodating the drive device. The output shaft connects to the cutting head and passes through the anti-winding member and the anti-winding member is mounted to the cutting head so as to rotate with the cutting head and is disposed between the cutting head and the head housing so as to fill the space between the cutting head and the head housing.

A flexible rotary cutting device useful for attaching to a rotary drive configured to trim vegetation, particularly a lawn mower. The flexible rotary cutting device includes a cutting head, an attachment mechanism, at least one cutting-filament retention mechanisms, and at least one cutting-filament. At least one cutting-filament may be releasably attached to the at least one cutting-filament retention mechanism. The at least one cutting-filament may be configured to sever vegetation as the cutting head is rotated, and may be positioned such that it is passed through the at least one filament-aperture, and between the first-filament engaging pawl and the second-filament engaging pawl, in such a way that the at least one cutting-filament is engaged and anchored by the first-plurality of teeth and the second-plurality of teeth, and extends radially from the outer flange of the cutting head.

A head (1) for a hedge trimmer comprising a main body (2), having a disc-shaped conformation, which can be connected to a drive shaft of a hedge trimmer to be placed in rotation about an axis of rotation (X). The main body (2) has at least one pair of primary seats (5) and one pair of secondary seats (6), each primary seat (5a) of the pair of primary seats (5) and each secondary seat (6a) of the pair of secondary seats (6) is a through seat. The pair of primary seats (5) is adapted to house a primary segment (S1) realised with a first cutting wire and arranged in a U-shaped arrangement between the primary seats (5a). The pair of secondary seats (6) is adapted to house a secondary segment (S2) realised with a second cutting wire and arranged in a U-shaped arrangement between the secondary seats (6a). Each primary seat (5a) of the pair of primary seats (5) has a primary transverse dimension (D1) and each secondary seat (6a) of the pair of secondary seats (6) has a secondary transverse dimension (D2).

The adjustable shield for a string trimmer is configured for use with a line trimmer. The adjustable shield for a string trimmer attaches to the line trimmer. The adjustable shield for a string trimmer comprises the line trimmer and a supplemental guard. The supplemental guard attaches to the line trimmer. The supplemental guard adjusts the arc of the working range of the cutting line of the line trimmer.
