An apparatus for cutting an edging trench around a landscape bed is constructed with a cutting blade that is rotated to help move the apparatus in the desired direction of travel while being operated to create an edging trench. The machine can be constructed in self-propelled, non-self-propelled or manually operated stick forms. The apparatus has a cutting blade that is configured in a cone-shaped manner with the narrow diameter located toward the center of the apparatus. The rotor is formed with a pair of thin slicing blades mounted on a spline shaft removable from the apparatus for maintenance. A first slicing blade shears the grass along the top of the trench and forms a vertical wall, while a second slicing blade forms a sloped wall. Displaced soil is discharged from the cutting blade and spread directly over the adjacent landscape bed to eliminate the need for subsequent clean-up operations.

A dual function tool head including a first selectively deployable cutting tool configured to automatically deploy when the tool head rotates in a first direction and automatically move to a stowed position when the tool head rotates in a second direction opposite the first direction; and a second selectively deployable cutting tool configured to automatically deploy when the tool head rotates in the second direction and automatically moved to a stowed position when the tool head rotates in the first direction.

A string trimmer includes a protective shield, a first motor, a blade and a fan. The first motor is arranged on one side of the protective shield, and a first rotation shaft of the first motor penetrates the protective shield to the other side of the protective shield. The blade is arranged on the other side of the protective shield, and the blade is connected with the first rotation shaft. The fan is arranged on the same side as the first motor, and the fan is mounted on the protective shield through a second rotation shaft. Wherein, a rotation speed ratio between the second rotation shaft and the first rotation shaft ranges from 0.5 to 4.

An edge trimming tool assembly (1) is disclosed configured to cut vegetation around edge formations (50). The assembly (1) comprises a drive shaft (3) and a trimming tool (5) configured to be rotated around a rotation axis (ax) by the drive shaft (3) such that a radially outer portion (5) of the trimming tool (5) orbits in a circular path (c). The assembly (1) comprises a guard (7) comprising a first guard portion (11) covering a portion of an area (A) formed inside the circular path (c) as seen in a first direction (d1) parallel to the rotation axis (ax) and a second guard portion (12) covering a portion of the area (A) as seen in a second direction (d2) parallel to the rotation axis (ax), wherein the second direction (d2) is opposite to the first direction (d1). The present disclosure further relates to a power tool (2) comprising an edge trimming tool assembly (1).

A tool head including a selectively deployable tool configured to automatically deploy when the tool head rotates in a first direction and automatically move to a stowed position when the tool head rotates in a second direction opposite the first direction; and a lock that retains the selectively deployable tool in the stowed position until a rotation speed in the first direction causes a force on the selectively deployable tool to exceed a displacement force required to unlock the lock.

A method operates a hand-guided processing device having a user-activated operating sensor device with a plurality of different detection positions. The method involves the steps: a) detecting a sequence of activations of the operating sensor device at different detection positions of the plurality of detection positions, and b) when the detected sequence corresponds to a given sequence, calibrating the operating sensor device for at least one detection position of the plurality of detection positions based on at least one of the activations of the detected activations.

A lopper or lopper head attachment includes a primary gear, a secondary gear, a ratchet gear, an engagement flag, a dampened lag bolt, and a cutting blade. The secondary gear is enmeshed with the primary gear. The secondary gear defines a lag groove radially offset from the secondary axis. The ratchet gear is rotatable about a secondary axis separately from the secondary gear. The engagement flag is rotatably mounted to secondary gear to move between an unengaged position and an engaged position. The dampened lag bolt is slidably received within the lag groove to move relative to the secondary gear between a permissive position and a restrictive position. The cutting blade is in mechanical communication with the ratchet gear to be pivoted thereby, in the engaged position of the engagement flag, to a closed position from an open position.

A line trimmer or edger includes a trimmer head configured to rotate a portion of a trimmer line comprising a cutting end of the trimmer line; a trimmer motor configured to drive the rotation of the trimmer head; a continuous line feed mechanism configured to continuously feed the trimmer line into the trimmer head while the continuous line feed mechanism is active; and one or more line feed activation mechanisms configured to control an activation and a deactivation of the continuous line feed mechanism.

The disclosure provides a driving assembly and a garden tool. The driving assembly includes a connecting base and a driving device. The driving device includes a driving body, a mounting part and an output shaft. The output shaft includes an input section and an output section. The input section is housed in the driving body and extends outward from the driving body to form the output section. The mounting part is arranged on a side of the driving body close to the output section, and a receiving hole is opened on the connecting base. A side of the driving body away from the output section passes through the receiving hole and connects a bottom of the connecting base with the mounting part.
