Abstract
A tree pruner (1) has a drive engine (2) or motor, a cutting head (4), and a stem (3) with a drive shaft (15) linking the engine or motor to the head. There is a protective sleeve (16) surrounding the drive shaft. The drive shaft (15) and the protective sleeve (16) are of electrical insulating material, so that the stem (3) electrically isolates the head from the engine or motor. The sleeve (16) and shaft (19) insulating material is fibreglass. The drive shaft insulated section (19) is located between proximal (17) and distal (18) sections of the drive shaft (15). Hence, the drive shaft (15) may be coupled with the engine (2) and the head (4) in a normal manner as is conventional. Electrical safety is achieved despite the fact that the shaft in in the conductive path from the head to the engine, and this may be required to transmit high torque and/or speed.
Description
INTRODUCTION Field of the Invention

Prior Art Discussion
It is known to provide a tree pruner having an engine next to a handle which is held by the operator, a stem having a drive shaft surrounded by a sleeve extending from the engine, and a cutting head at the distal end of the stem.

The engine provides power, rotating the drive shaft within a tube at the necessary speed and torque for driving of the cutting head. The head may take any of a variety of forms, such as a chainsaw, and is interchangeable.

Detailed Description of the Invention
The invention will be more clearly understood from the following description of some embodiments thereof, given by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which :- Fig. 1 is a side view of a tree pruner of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a partly cut-away sectional view of the pruner: and
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of an interface between the intermediate drive shaft section and an end section.
Description of the Embodiments
Referring to the drawings, a tree pruner 1 comprises a petrol engine 2, a stem 3, and a cutting head 4. The stem 3 comprises a rotating drive shaft 15 surrounded by a stem tube 16.
The engine 2 is connected to the stem tube 16 by a coupler 30 incorporating a handle and a user actuating trigger. The stem 3 comprises a connecting socket 31 receiving the tube or sleeve 16, at the distal end of which there is a distal socket 32. The latter is in turn connected to the cutting head 4.
The engine 2, the couplers 30, 31, and 32, and the cutting head 7 are of known construction, in existence in many available tree pruners. The drive shaft 15 is provided for transferring drive from the engine 2 to the cutting head 4, in a known manner. The shaft 15 extends through the sleeve 16, which provides physical safety from contact with the shaft as it rotates, as is also well known in the art.
The sleeve 16 is of an insulating material, in this case fibreglass. This material is a dielectric and so will not conduct electrical power from a cable which the pruner 1 accidently contacts.
Moreover, the drive shaft 15 is manufactured in three sections:
a proximal metal (aluminium) section 17 having a coupler (in this case keys) for engaging the engine's output shaft,
a distal metal (aluminium) section 18 also having a coupler (in this case keys) for engaging the cutting head 4 to drive the head's cutting blades, and
an intermediate section 19 of fibreglass material which is bonded and mechanically engaged at an interface at each end with the metal sections 17 and 18.
The intermediate section 19 is, like the tube 16, an electrical insulator. Hence, a combination of both the drive shaft 15 and the tube 16 being non-conductive from the head 4 to the engine 2 prevents flow of electrical current which could pose a danger to the operator. The engagement at the ends of the intermediate section 19 is preferably, as in this embodiment, a combination of resin bonding and male/female mechanical engagement. Referring to Fig. 3, in this example, the intermediate section 19 has a main rod 25 terminating at a shoulder reducing the diameter to provide a narrower plug 26 for insertion in a socket 28 in a rod 27 of the interfacing end section 18. The resin is a two part epoxy resin of type Epiglass HT9000 Fast™ by AkzoNobel. The interface is completed by axial pressure being applied until the resin has cured.
The intermediate section 19 is an electrical insulator. Hence, any contact of the cutting head 4 with a cable will not result in current travelling from the head and through the shaft 3 to the engine 2. There is therefore full electrical isolation of the head 4 from the engine 2, and hence from the user. This is a major improvement over the situation which has existed for many years with such tree management tools.
Moreover, the greatly enhanced safety is achieved without affecting the operation or maintenance of the tool. It performs the cutting actions just as effectively as conventional tools. Also, the user does not need to become acquainted with a different coupling mechanism. The joints are made between the engine, the stem, and the cutting head in the same way as for conventional pruners with an engine or motor driving a drive shaft. The tube 16 and the drive shaft 15 have the same overall physical configuration as is typical and so can be replaced by the user due to wear and tear in the conventional manner.
While the invention is simple, it solves the very difficult technical problem of providing electrical safety for polesaw pruner operators, which problem has existed for many years with deaths occurring in many countries on an annual basis. The inventor has realised that effective
electrical isolation can be achieved despite the high torques and/or operating speeds of the drive shaft.
In other examples, the tool may be of a different length, or the stem may have a different width, to suit the application. The material of the sleeve and/or the drive shaft may be different, such as a plastics material of a known type having suitable electrical insulation and mechanical strength properties.
The invention is not limited to the embodiments described but may be varied in construction and detail. The head may alternatively be driven by an electrically-power motor instead of a petrol engine. In this case the power may be provided by a battery on the pruner adjacent the motor. The invention may take the form of a stem and/or drive shaft only, to be fitted to a conventional engine and head by the user. It is preferred that the intermediate section be bonded by adhesives to the end metal sections. The drive shaft section interfaces can take any desired physical form, such as cone-shaped ends fitting into corresponding sockets in the adjoining sections. However, if the torque rating is not excessive, either bonding or mechanical only engagement may be used. It is also envisaged that the complete drive shaft may be of an insulating material, provided it is strong enough for coupling to the engine and head without excessive wear. In this, or any other embodiment, there may be a metal coating on the couplers at the ends for engagement with the engine and/or head. The couplers of the drive shaft may be of any suitable type to suit the configuration of the engine/motor and the head.
