Description

 SECTOR - MANUAL CUTTER.

 The invention relates to a special agricultural pruner, mounted on a rigid handle made of a steel tube or the like, which connects the handle to the pruner and of good length depending on the work to be performed.

 For example, to prune trees, to cut thorns, or to clear brush. In general, it is good that the handle is long enough, about 1.75 m, firstly it will allow the tool to penetrate to the part to be cut without approaching it, without having to bend down and without get stung.

 The pruning shears will be activated by the handle via a flexible steel wire passing through the handle.

 The part of the blade opposite the cutting part (the heel) according to the invention will also be cutting, and in the shape of a half moon. It will be used to cut the fine branches by pulling. According to the invention, the part which constitutes the handle of a conventional pruning shears is a forceps which is used to take, to pull.

 According to the invention, on the end of one of the soft branches of this pliers, that being fixed on the handle, there is a breakdown to clear the earth around a root to be cut nour biner or the like.

 The invention is described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure I is a side view of an agricultural pruner according to the invention.

 Figure 2 is a side view of the movable handle which actuates the pruning shears.

 Figure 3 is a side view of the part which supports the pruning shears handle and the movable handle.

 The device shown (fig I) is a general view of the invention. It consists of a classic and modified pruning shears (I), according to the invention, fixed on a handle (2) which is a steel tube, or other, rigid, of a blade (3) modified in shape. of spruce, or half moon, and sharp on both sides.

 The two branches (4) of the pruning shears, according to the invention, constitute a nince coated with a rubber tube (5) which will have the role of strongly tightening the thing to be pinched without cutting it.

 Delta branch clamp (4) fixed on the handle (2) by means of a bolt (II) pierced in its center to let pass the cable (IO), and a nut (I2) on washer (I3) will end with the purlin (6) which can be used to pull a little soil from a root to cut it, or to hoe.

 The shoulders (7) on the clamps (4) are used so that the rubber tubes fitted on the clamps (4) do not come out.

 The return spring (8) allows the blade (3) of the pruning shears to open at the same time as the control handle (9) by means of a flexible steel cable (IO).

 (I4) axis of the pruning shears.

 (I5) stop on the cable (IO).

 (I6) blade of the pliers secateurs (4) which is fixed on the handle (2) by means of the bolt (II) and the nut (I2).

 The pole (I7) which connects the handle (2) to the movable handle (9) has a needle screw (I8) for fixing the handle (2) and a stop screw (I9) to wedge the handle (2) when pressed, the handle (9) will be exerted.

 the handle (2) at its lower end will form a stop (20) with the end of the handle (9) to fix its maximum opening point.

 (21) slot giving access to the adjusting screw for the cable tension (IO).

(22) cable tension adjustment screw (IO)
(23) handle axis (9)
(24) rubber gasket to hold the tool
(25) cable stop (IO).

 (26) blocking handle (9) to wedge the pruning shears (I6) and (3) closed and the pliers of the clamp (4) closed.

 The closed noigne (9) will crochet.

 Agricultural pruning shears can provide multiple services to agriculture, through its jobs, for example without having to bend down, you can easily cut plants close to the ground. If it is to prune trees, you can do it without having to climb the tree, QU take a ladder. It is simply a matter of having a pruner with a handle of suitable length.

To cut thorny, brambles or other, the long handle allows you to penetrate the tool deep enough at the foot of the bush without pricking, cut the stems and pull them using the pliers,
To cut fine branches or fairly resistant grasses, to clean slopes, the blade forming a spruce is very practical.

 The tip, fixed on a branch of the pliers is useful for light hoeing or to loosen a little soil, occasionally, to cut some roots.
