A hedge trimmer having a drive motor, a gear mechanism, and a blade arrangement with at least one cutter bar, which is driven in a reciprocating manner by the drive motor via the gear mechanism in a longitudinal direction. The blade arrangement includes a guide mechanism that extends over at least a part of the length of the blade arrangement. The guide mechanism is embodied as a molded part that includes a generally flat fastening portion and a profiled guide portion. The cutter bar is longitudinally movably held on the guide portion.

A hedge-trimming device is provided. The device is comprised of a moveable frame with at least one wheel that allows the frame to travel forward, backward, left, and right. The frame preferably has a vertical frame member comprised of at least one spinning blade that is powered by at least one motor. The blade may be positioned on the vertical frame member such that it is parallel with vertical frame member. As a result, the device can be moved left and right wherein the blade produces a straight cut along the front surface of a hedge or other greenery.

A hedgetrimmer having a blade assembly that converts between a straight blade configuration and a curved blade configuration. The blade assembly includes a support bar for securing a pair of cutting blades. The support bar is made up of a plurality of rotatable support links allowing the support bar to curve. A switch assembly includes a rigid wire fixedly secured to the support bar. The rigid wire extends and retracts, moving the support bar between its straight and curved configuration.

A trimming machine capable of suppressing damage to a gear when blades are locked, with a simple structure without increasing weight and cost. The trimming machine includes: an electric motor; a blade drive gear rotationally driven by the electric motor; an eccentric cam provided in the gear; and a pair of blades relatively slidably facing and contacting each other, in which the eccentric cam is adapted to reciprocate the pair of blades in relatively opposite directions along the longitudinal direction of the blades, thereby grinding cutting edges against each other, the cutting edges provided in a protruding manner with gaps therebetween in the pair of blades, and a shock absorbing portion is provided between a connecting portion connected to the eccentric cam and the cutting edges in each of the blades.

The present invention relates to a landscaping apparatus (1) comprising: a landscaping tool (10) of the motor-driven type, provided with an electronic control and command unit (40), a portable remote device (60), a first wireless transceiver (45) operatively connected to the electronic control and command unit (40) of the landscaping tool, and a second wireless transceiver (50) associated with the portable remote device (60). The electronic control and command unit (40) is configured to cyclically measure a value indicative of a distance between the tool and the portable remote device by processing signals exchanged between the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless transceiver, and cyclically compares said value indicative of the measured distance with a predetermined value indicative of a maximum distance so as to automatically bring or keep the tool in an inactive condition when said value indicative of the measured distance is greater than said reference value and/or when it is not possible to measure the value indicative of the measured with international search report (Art. 21(3))

The present disclosure provides a method for assisting users in plant cultivation, including: determining a pruning plan according to a plant species and a pruning goal, and determining whether to display the pruning plan to the user according to the current season and/or the plant growth stage, wherein the pruning plan includes a pruning approach and a pruning position; and in response to determining to display the pruning plan to the user, depicting the pruning approach and the pruning position in combination with the image of the plant to display the pruning plan to the user. The present disclosure also relates to a device for assisting users in plant cultivation and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium.

A detection device for metal stakes in a wire-trained plant-crop hedge having at least one detector configured to generate a detection signal when it passes next to a metal stake of the hedge wherein the metal stake detector has a first and a second metal detector arranged for generating respectively a first and a second measurement signal when they pass next to one of the metal stakes of the hedge. The first and second metal detectors are mechanically secured to each other in movement and arranged for being spaced vertically relative to each other. The detection device has an electronic management unit for the detection signals, configured for, upon detection of a temporal offset between the maximum variation levels of the first and second measurement signals, generating a signal indicating an inclined state of the metal stake.

A gardening trimmer may include: a first blade; a facing member overlapping with the first blade in a second direction perpendicular to a first direction; and a suppressing structure. Grease may be applied to at least a part of a conversion mechanism. The first blade may include: a plurality of first slots; and a plurality of pairs of first connecting portions, wherein each pair of the first connecting portions is disposed at opposite ends of corresponding one of the first slots in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions. The suppressing structure may be configured to suppress the grease from moving toward a front end of the first blade in the first direction. The suppressing structure may be disposed on the facing member at a position facing at least one pair of in the second direction when the first blade reciprocates relative to the facing member.
