CORDLESS ELECTRIC GARDEN TRIMMER WITH SAFETY LOCK MEANS

摘要

A cordless electric garden trimmer having electrically operated rotary cutting means and a safety cover comprising a pair of semicircular shrouds forming a hollow disk-shaped enclosure for the cutting means. The shrouds can be opened to expose the cutting means by hand operated spring biased triggers which also operate an electrical switch such that the electric motor driving the cutting means is on only when the shrouds are opened. When the triggers are released, the motor is cut off and the shrouds close. When closed, the shrouds can be locked in a safety storage position by a safety storage lock means to prevent exposing the cutting means when the trimmer is not in use, and to prevent accidental turning on of the motor which operates the cutting means.
