Definitions
- the invention refers to improvements to mower heads. More specifically the invention refers to improvements to mower heads with cords, i.e. mowers using a cord as a cutting element.
- mower heads are commonly used for cutting grass and other vegetation, with cutting cords that project radially from a main body of the head and which, due to the centrifugal force exerted on them and to the fastVotation of the head around its axis, cut the vegetation.
- cord heads of this kind are disclosed in the following US patents: US 4,097,991, US 4,104,797, US 4,145,809, US 4,161,820, US 4,259,782, US 4,203,212, US 4,274,201 , US 4,651 ,421, US 4,738,085, US 4805306, US 4,813,140, US 4,823,465, US 4,882,843, US 4,893,410, US 4,942,664, US 4,959,904, US 4,989,321 , US 5,010,649, US 5,526,572, US 5,095,688, US 5,136,782, US 5,295,306, US 5,490,641, US 5,657,542, US 6,141 ,879, US 6,163,964, US 6,851,191.
- one or two ring-shaped edges develop around the essentially circular body of the head with the double function of allowing the head cover to open and, in certain cases, protecting at least in part the cord which extends radially from an essentially cylindrical side of the body of the head between these two ring-shaped edges.
- these ring- shaped edges avoid snapping of the cutting cord in correspondence of the point in which it exits from the body of the head, so that any snapping .caused by the. obstacles against which the cord knocks occurs at a certain radial distance from the externa! surface of the head, avoiding that the free end of the cord remains trapped inside the head, after snapping.
- US patent no. 4,114,269 describes a mower head with cord, in which the exit hole of the cutting cord is surrounded by two rectilinear edges, parallel to the rotation axis of the head.
- the front edge i.e. the one most forward with respect to the direction of the head rotation, has a transversal section in the shape of a drop, i.e. it has a greater thickness than that of the remaining part of the cylindrical wall of the housing body of the cutting spool, in said wall the exit holes of the cutting cord being located.
- This shape has the aim of reducing the stress and heating of the cord, but does not allow to overcome the problems mentioned above, connected with the re-entry of the snapped end of the cord in the spool housing.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a mower head or device of the kind mentioned above, which overcomes or limits at least in part the above mentioned problems.
- the invention involves a mower head with an axis of rotation and a body with at least one exit hole for an end of a cutting cord, characterized by including, adjacent to said exit hole or to each of said exit holes for the cutting cord and on at least one side of said hole a radial projection forming a protection for said cutting cord.
- the projections ensure that any snapping of the cord due to knocks against surrounding obstacles happens at a distance far enough from the surface on which the exit hole of the cord is made, such that the risk is avoided of the free end generated by the snapping of the cord re- entering the body of the head, forcing the user to extract the cord end by stopping the cutting work and opening the head.
- the radial projection is arranged at the same position as the exit hole with respect to the axial development of the cutting head.
- the body has an essentially cylindrical surface, on which at least one of the said holes are made, and the respective projection is produced on the cylindrical surface, at a distance in a tangential direction with respect to the hole.
- the radial projection can have a radial extension of at least 8 mm and preferably of at least 10 mm, for example of 15 mm or more, adjacent to said hole.
- a single radial projection arranged ahead of the hole with respect to the direction of rotation of the mower head is associated to each hole.
- the radial projection associated to the hole or to each hole has a curvilinear shape which projects gradually from the edge of the head body as far as a point of maximum projection, adjacent to said hole, increasing its radial dimension in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the head.
- the radial projection can for example extend tangentially along the edge of the head of the body and present, along this development, a radial dimension gradually growing starting from a connection point along the body of the head until a maximum point of radial projection adjacent to the exit hole of the cutting cord.
- the radial projection £an have a spiral profile.

- FIG. 13 and 14 a perspective view of yet another embodiment of the invention, in closed and open condition, respectively.
- Head 1 generally designates a mower head according to the invention.
- Head 1 has a body 3, which can be constructed, for example but not necessarily so, in two portions 3A and 3B, coupled to each other, for example by snap catch, screws, welding or other suitable means.
- A-A indicates the axis of rotation of the head, which coincides with the axis of the motor shaft of the mower to which the head is mounted (not shown).
- the head has a threaded rod 5 to engage into a threaded hole of the motor shaft, but it must be understood that the means of fitting the head onto the shaft can also be of another kind.
- a spool or a number of spools are located within head 1 , in a housing defined by body 3, between the two portions 3A and 3B which form the latter.
- One or more cutting cords are wound on the spool or spools, as known to those skilled in the art.
- two ends F1 and F2 of two cutting cords wound on a spool or on two spools inserted and lodged within head 1 and not shown exit from the cutting head 1. It will be understood that the number of - O -
- cutting cords housed in head 1 can also be different.
- a single cutting cord is possible, which may be fitted with two ends both protruding from the mower head, or three or four or more cutting cords.
- head 1 is also fitted with means to lengthen the cutting cord and restore the quantity of cord which projects to the outside of the head and which is the cutting part of the mower head.
- head 1 has a protruding lower button 7, which during use can be pressed by pushing the head against the ground using the same grip of the mower on which the head is mounted.
- Repeated pressure on button 7 causes rotations of preset strokes of the spool or spools on which the cutting cord or cords are wound, to lengthen or restore the original length of the protruding ends or portions F1 and F2 of the cutting cords.
- the mechanism which allows this lengthening is not shown and can be any mechanism known to the experts in the art for example those indicated and disclosed in the patents mentioned in the introduction.
- automatic lengthening mechanisms can be used which restore the length of the cutting cord protruding from the head automatically using temporary variations of the speed of rotation caused by a shortening of the cord, to which a centrifugal system of lengthening control responds.
- the lengthening can be obtained manually by acting on the two parts or portions 3A, 3B of body 3. The methods with which the lengthening occurs are not essential for the purpose of the present invention and any known method can be used.
- the ends F1 and F2 of the cutting cords exit from body 3 of the head through respective bushes 9, for example in metal and fixed on portion 3A of body 3 of mower head 1.
- Each bush 9 has an exit hole 9A for the cutting cord. This exit hole is located in an intermediate position along axial development H of the head.
- projections 11 are provided, which have a shaped conformation. More specifically, as shown in Fig. 1 , each of the two projections has a curvilinear profile 11A with a development in the form of a portion of a spiral. With this configuration projection 11 is essentially developed starting from connection point 11B almost tangent to the external cylindrical surface of body 3 to point 11C of maximum radial projection.
- projection 11 has a surface indicated by 11 D, which is developed on an essentially radial plane that contains the axis of rotation A-A of the head.
- projection 11 has a thickness s (Fig.
- each projection 11 protrudes in a radial manner, by a length R with respect to the essentially cylindrical surface of the body 3.
- Dimension R can vary for example between 5 and 20 mm, preferably between 5 and 15 mm and even more preferably between 8 and 13 mm for example around 10 mm.
- projection 11 which is located in front of the respective cutting cord in the direction of rotation causes a gradual distancing of any obstacle at the height of the cutting cord or cords from the cylindrical surface of body 3 of mower head 1.
- projections 11 ensures a regular operation and a limitation of mechanical knocking stress on the head.
- the possibility of shaping projections 11 differently, for example in steps, is not excluded.
- Arranging projections 11 on both sides of each bush 9 or exit hole 9A of the cutting cord is also possible, for* example to allow mower head 1 to rotate in both directions.
- Projections 11 can be moulded, in the same material which makes up body 3 of mower head 1 , and (in this specific embodiment), integral with portion 3A of body 3. The possibility is not excluded to provide these projections 11 as an insert, for example also in different material than that forming body 3 of the head.
- head body 3 can be manufactured in moulded synthetic resin, while projections 11 can be in metal, for example in aluminium, or other material of contained cost but in any case of greater resistance than that of the base material of body 3.
- projections 11 can be made as inserts, inserted into the mould in which the resin is then injected to shape portion 3A of body 3.
- projections 11 with interchangeable added elements, for example fixed to body 3 of mower head 1 with screws, pins, snap catches, daps, hooking or the like.
- projections 11 can be replaced if broken or worn. They will also act as a mechanical protection for mower head 1 , lengthening its working life.
- toothing D will break down this vegetation in a preliminary way before it knocks against one or other of radial protruding portions F1, F2 of the cutting cord. Evan if snapping caused by toothing D is not total, the cutting cord which will knock against this vegetation will find it partially broken and therefore can cut it completely without being submitted to excessive stress and therefore without snapping.
- teethed projections 11 can be manufactured in the base material which forms body 3 of the head, or in different material and possibly be replaced.
- Mower head 1 in this case, includes a main body 3 with an essentially cylindrical perimeter wall, on which are inserted bushes 9 with passing holes 9A for cutting cords F1 and F2, made of separate cords, or by different portions of. a same cord wound on a spool inside head 1 and not shown.
- the perimeter projections still indicated with 11 , are not manufactured on the cylindrical surface of body 3 of head 1 , but on a ring 12 in metal material, synthetic resin or other suitable material. Ring 12 with projections 11 can also be applied in an extemporary and reversible way on head 1 , and more specifically on portion 3A of body 3 of the head.
- ring 12 with projections 11 is shown separate from head 1. It presents, in addition to projections 11, passing holes 14 which (when the ring is mounted on head 1) coincide with bushes 9 and exit holes 9A, to allow cutting cords F1 , and F2 to pass.
- Ring 12 is shown isolated in a plan view and in a perspective view in Figs. 8 and 9. It can also be constructed and distributed separately to be mounted on existing and traditional heads to improve and provide them with the functions and advantages described above with reference to Fig. 1 to 4.
- the internal diameter of ring 12 can be suitably sized to couple with some interference to the essentially cylindrical surface of portion 3A of body 3 of the head. Otherwise the anchorage can be obtained by means of penetration of bushes 9 in holes 14 of ring 12.
- Fig. 10 and 11 show another embodiment of a head according to the invention.
- Equal numbers indicate equal parts or equivalent parts to those of the preceding embodiment.
- projections 11 with their spiral profiles 11A are made as separate and applicable to body 3 of the head, also in a replaceable way if required.
- each projection 11 has a front tooth 101 adjacent to surface 11 D.
- Tooth 101 has a groove 101 A, which is committed in an undercut 102A of a slot 102 in the essentially cylindrical portion 3A of body 3 of head 1.
- this presents a relief 105, which inserts itself into a slot 106 formed again in the cylindrical wall of side 3A of body 3.
- Fig. 12 shows a head equal to th * e head of Fig. 10 but with projections 11 as part of portion 3A of body 3, of the same or different material to that of the base of body 3.
- Fig. 13 and 14 show a further embodiment of the invention.
- Equal numbers indicate equal parts or equivalent parts to those of the preceding embodiments.
- Projections 11 in the form of tangential wings to protect the cord are constructed, in this case, as integral parts of lower portion 3B of body 3 of head 1. This lower portion forms the closing lid of the head, which is shown separate from the rest in Fig. 14.
- Grooves 4 constructed along a cylindrical ring- shaped edge of lid 3B in positions corresponding to bushes 9 through which cords F1 and F2 pass allow assembly without interference with the exit holes of the cutting cords.
