Multi-Purpose Trimmer, Edger And Sweeper With Or Without Support Cart, And With Enhanced Inertia Head

View page
US Patent:
6415585, Jul 9, 2002
Filed:
Aug 10, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/370897
Inventors:
Vincent D. Morabit - Rock Hill SC, 29732
Christopher J. Morabito - Rock Hill SC, 29730
International Classification:
A01D 3400
US Classification:
56 127, 30276
Abstract:
A string trimmer having a head with aerodynamic cutting line with a long beam axis and a pitch angle may be used for both vegetation cutting and as a blower. A gear box may be provided for changing the gear ratio from the engine or motor to the head depending upon the pitch angle. Optimum cutting operation is provided with a pitch angle of about 0-10Â, and when used as a blower the optimum pitch angle is between about 15-45Â upward. The string trimmer may be mounted on a cart having a bottom frame with at least three wheels, first and second adjustable length arms each rotatably mounted by the substantially vertical axis and having a free end, and a clamp at the first arm free end for clamping the shaft of the string trimmer, and a clamp or flexible band or cord at the end of the second arm, typically also for engaging the string trimmer shaft to provide substantially 360Â freedom of movement thereof. In order to maximize cutting efficiency the trimmer head may have a polar moment of inertia of about 1. 6-2. 4 inch pounds second squared, which may be provided by the inherent construction of the head, or by lead tape placed at various locations on the head.

Hybrid Mower, Edger, Trimmer, Blower

US Patent:
6862871, Mar 8, 2005
Filed:
May 1, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/135828
Inventors:
Vincent D. Morabit - Rock Hill SC, US
Christopher James Morabito - Rock Hill SC, US
International Classification:
A01D034/00
US Classification:
56 127
Abstract:
A carriage device for a string trimmer includes an axle frame supporting at least two wheels. A main frame includes an axle mounting section for adjustably securing the axle frame and a shaft receiving section shaped to receive the shaft of a string trimmer. The axle mounting section includes a plurality of connecting areas for selectively adjusting a height of the axle frame. Additionally, the axle frame is preferably laterally adjustable relative to the main frame. Alternative arrangements of the main frame enable the axle frame to be rotationally adjusted relative to the string trimmer. Additionally, the carriage device is particularly suited for a mulcher system and can be readily adapted to support a sizable DC battery for cordless operation of an electric string trimmer. The device enables multi-functioning of a string trimmer including mowing, edging, blowing, mulching, etc.

Line Loader For A Grass Trimmer

View page
US Patent:
20100101099, Apr 29, 2010
Filed:
Oct 28, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/607548
Inventors:
Vincent D. Morabit - Rock Hill SC, US
International Classification:
A01D 34/416
B23P 11/00
US Classification:
30347, 29428
Abstract:
In a rotating grass trimmer, a top loading line blade and corresponding head securely hold the cutting lines with multiple orientations of the line blade. An alternative embodiment provides a simplified loading scheme where a cutting line is loaded into the trimmer head from its outside, through a line outlet to a fixed receiver without the need for a moving or mechanical line gripping or biting type mechanism. With this construction, a worn line can be replaced by pulling it back out or by reversing it back through the same outlet from which it was initially inserted. The design eliminates practically all of the costs associated with the current state of the art rapid loading mechanisms as there is no physical compression, gripping or biting into the line by any mechanical or moving mechanism. Additionally, the line is insertable in multiple orientations.

Low Speed Trimmer And Oriented Trimmer Line

US Patent:
20110232436, Sep 29, 2011
Filed:
Mar 24, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/071068
Inventors:
Vincent D. Morabit - Rock Hill SC, US
International Classification:
B26D 7/00
B26B 15/00
B26B 11/00
US Classification:
83 13, 302774, 30123
Abstract:
A power tool head is including a trimmer head or the like is powered with an AC or DC motor. The head and tool attachment are ergonomically constructed to facilitate use and operation. In the trimmer tool, molded line blades with or without an aerodynamic cross-section provide for effective cutting at low speeds and low power requirements. The line blades may be selectively oriented to improve strength and durability.

String And String Trimmer Operation

View page
US Patent:
5996233, Dec 7, 1999
Filed:
Jan 22, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/010992
Inventors:
Vincent D. Morabit - Rock Hill SC
Michael Z. Morabito - Rock Hill SC
Christopher J. Morabito - Rock Hill SC
International Classification:
B26B 2700
US Classification:
30276
Abstract:
An elongated flexible cutting string, or substantially self-supporting strut cutting element, is connectable to a rotating device for use in a method of cutting vegetation. The cutting string has numerous advantages over conventional cutting strings, having a drag coefficient which is at least about 5% (e. g. 10-300%) less than the drag coefficient of a string having a substantially round and smooth cross-section. The drag coefficient of aerodynamic line 10 is 1. 0 or less, e. g. about 0. 35 or less. The cross-sectional configuration preferably simulates a tear drop (with or without an extension nose), and can have a textured (e. g. with golf ball simulating dimples, saw toothed or a wavy configuration) exterior surface. The pitch of the line is positively maintained while it is rotated in a cutting plane, e. g. controlled with an eyelet and/or a compound taper.

Self-Contained Flexible Aerodynamic Cutting Element With Matching Head

US Patent:
6314848, Nov 13, 2001
Filed:
Feb 3, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/243786
Inventors:
Vincent D. Morabit - Rock Hill SC
Michael Z. Morabito - Memphis TN
Christopher J. Morabito - Rock Hill SC
International Classification:
B26B 2700
US Classification:
83 13
Abstract:
A vegetation cutter, a cutting string for use with a vegetation cutter, and a method of cutting vegetation, are provided which utilize a novel cutting string arrangement in which a twist and living hinge are provided in a cutting string having a drag co-efficient of less than 1. 0, typically with a first long axis and a second short axis, the second axis less than 85% of the first axis. The twist is provided between the free end of the string and where the string is mounted to the head, or where two twists are provided in the string, the string is mounted to the head at a central portion between the twists. The string may be mounted to the head by grooves or slots and/or clamping mechanisms, or a wide variety of other components. The cutting string may have a wide variety of cross-sectional configurations (both symmetrical, such as elliptical, or non-symmetrical, such as substantially tear drop). The twist is typically between about 30-150. degree.

Chain Saw Tip Stabilizing Device For Use With An Antikickback Device

View page
US Patent:
45691355, Feb 11, 1986
Filed:
Dec 27, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/564326
Inventors:
Vincent D. Morabit - Rock Hill SC
International Classification:
B27B 1702
US Classification:
30371
Abstract:
A tip stabilizing device for attachment to a portable power chain saw or the like for improving its operation and safety. When attached to the forward end of the chain saw guide bar, a plurality of spikes extend forward, backward or outward to the sides of the guide bar to engage an adjacent log or other supporting surface of the object being cut by the saw to stabilize the saw tip. The forces generated at the chain/wood interface are utilized to keep the tip stabilizing device in operative engagement with such surface.
