Abstract

A cutter assembly includes a cutter support member made of aluminum or magnesium-aluminum alloy, a plurality of friction blocks mounted to a groove at a bottom side of the cutter support member, two cutter blades arranged in a stack and supported on the friction blocks, and fasteners respectively fastened to the friction blocks to secure the cutter blades to the cutter support member for enabling the cutter blades to be moved alternately relatively to each other.

Claims

1. A cutter assembly for a hedge trimmer, aid cutter assembly comprising:

a cutter support member having an end adapted to be fastened to said hedge trimmer;

two cutter blades arranged in a stack; and

a plurality of friction blocks fixedly provided at a bottom side of said cutter support member and each having a stud rod for fastening said friction block to said cutter support member, and a center mounting hole running through said stud rod;

wherein said cutter support member is made of a light metal selected from a group consisting of aluminum and magnesium-aluminum alloy, and each of said friction blocks is made of a material more rigid than the light metal that said cutter support member is made.

2. The cutter assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein said cutter support member comprises a groove at a bottom side thereof;

said friction blocks being disposed to said groove at an equal interval.

3. The cutter assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein each of said friction blocks further comprises a fastening device inserting through said blades and said center mounting hole for fastening said blades to said cutter support member.

4. The cutter assembly as defined in claim 3, wherein the center mounting hole of each said friction block is a screw hole;

said fastening device comprises a screw bolt, a washer, and a nut, said screw bolt having a conical section for reciprocating movement of said blades.

5. The cutter assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein each of said cutter blades comprise two rows of teeth longitudinally symmetrically formed at two sides thereof.

6. The cutter assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein each of said cutter blades comprise a row of teeth longitudinally arranged at a side thereof;

said cutter support member comprises a stop flange longitudinally extended along a side thereof for stopping the other toothless side of each said cutter blade.

7. The cutter assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein said friction blocks are spaced from one another at an equal distance.
