A low-energy blade system having a quick-change attachment for a lawn maintenance tool. The low-energy blade system requires a reduced amount of energy to rotate the blade system. The blade system includes a shell, a mounting plate attached to the shell, a plurality of quick-attach mechanisms, and a separate cutting blade attachable to each of the quick-attach mechanisms. Each quick-attach mechanism allows a cutting blade to be attached to the mounting plate without the need for external tools, such as screwdriver, wrench, ratchet, or the like.

A grass cutting mobile robot includes a body and a blade assembly connected to the body and rotatable about a drive axis. The blade assembly includes blades, a housing to hold the blades, and a spring that connects the blade to the housing. The housing includes a slot in which to mount a blade so that a portion of the blade is movable through the slot towards another blade in response to an impact. The slot slopes upwards in the housing towards the body, thereby enabling the blade to move upwards relative to a ground surface toward the body in response to the impact. The spring is for constraining movement of the blade relative to the housing.

A cutter assembly has a crossbar, at least one cutter blade, and at least one blade pin. The crossbar defines at least one pin protector recess, at least one bar opening, and at least one bar key surface. The at least one cutter blade defines at least one blade ring, at least one blade edge, a blade bolt opening, and at least one blade recess. The at least one blade pin defines a head portion and at least one bolt key surface. The at least one pin protector recess receives the at least one blade ring. The at least one blade pin is inserted through the blade bolt opening and the at least one bar opening such that the head portion is within the at least one blade recess and the bolt key surface engages the at least one bar key surface.

A lawn mower in which an operating part that performs lawn mowing is equipped in a traveling machine body that travels in a field. The operating part comprises a rotary-driven bladed disk in a state of facing the field, and a cutting blade piece rockably mounted on an outer peripheral part of the bladed disk. A mounting part in which the cutting blade piece is mounted on the bladed disk comprises an axial member mounted to cross a field opposed surface of the bladed disk, and a cylindrical member which is hollow and into which the axial member is inserted with a space therebetween. The axial member is mounted on the bladed disk in a state in which the cutting blade piece is fixed to an outer periphery of the cylindrical member and the axial member is inserted into the cylindrical member.

A high-efficiency cutting system for an autonomous mower provides a multiple blade tip cutting radius for a cleaner cut, and more complete mow. The system includes a spinning blade disk provided within a housing including a vertical standoff. The blade disk includes a first pair of cutting blades located between the center of the blade disk and the circumference of the blade disk, and a second pair of cutting blades located radially inward from the first pair of cutting blades. The cutting blades extend downward and away from the blade disk at an angle.

Apparatuses associated with cutting elements are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a blade pin may include a head and a main body. The main body may extend from the head of the blade pin, and may include a cavity. The main body may further include a first aperture, wherein the first aperture is connected to the cavity. The main body may further include a second aperture formed in a sidewall, wherein the sidewall extends from the first end to the second end of the main body, and wherein the second aperture is connected to the cavity. The blade pin may include a valve, wherein the valve allows passage of a lubricant into the cavity through the first aperture and prevents passage of the lubricant out of the cavity through the first aperture. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

A disc cutter for an agricultural implement includes: a mounting bar including a bar opening; a bolt disposed in the bar opening; a knife nut including a nut opening in which the bolt is disposed; a knife including a knife opening in which the knife nut is disposed, the knife being configured to rotate about a rotation axis defined by the knife nut; and a spring plate biased towards the mounting bar and having a recess formed therein. The knife nut has a portion held in the recess and a bottom of the portion acts as a stop against movement of the spring plate towards the mounting bar.

A disc cutter for an agricultural implement includes: a disc body configured to rotate in a rotation direction; a knife mount carried by the disc body and including a body mounting feature; and a knife coupled to the knife mount. The knife includes: a pair of cutting sections each having a knife mounting feature disposed on or in a knife surface between a pair of edges of the cutting sections and configured to couple with the body mounting feature, each of the edges defining a cutting angle with respect to the knife surface such that the edges extend in parallel.

A disc cutter for an agricultural implement includes: a disc body; a knife nut coupled to the disc body; a knife including a knife opening in which the knife nut is disposed, the knife being configured to rotate about a rotation axis defined by the knife nut; and a spring plate carrying at least two protrusions, the spring plate being biased towards the disc body such that in a first position the spring plate bears on the knife so a plane defined through a portion of the knife extends through the protrusions until an overload force applied to the knife forces the knife over at least one of the protrusions and moves the spring plate to a second position.

A cutter head for a brush cutter has a base body with top base body part and bottom base body part. A screw element is arranged at the bottom base body part for attachment to an output shaft of the brush cutter. A receptacle for fastening a cutting tool is provided between top and bottom base body parts. The base body is rotatably driven in operation of the brush cutter about an axis of rotation of the base body. The top and bottom base body parts are held together by a detachable snap-on connection. The snap-on connection is positioned at a distance, measured in a radial direction, from the axis of rotation of the base body. The distance amounts to at most 40% of the cutter head diameter. For releasing the snap-on connection, the top and bottom base body parts are pulled apart from each other by a pulling force.
