PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a grounding body and a bush cutter with the same in which mowing work can be performed by small labor, and abrasion of a rotary blade, fuel consumption and entanglement of weed during working can be suppressed.SOLUTION: A grounding body 1 is connected to a drive shaft 95 of a bush cutter 9 so as to be integrally rotated with a rotary blade 8. The grounding body 1 includes a mounting bracket 2 having a blade support side 210 for receiving one side of the rotary blade 8, a cylindrical body 4 connected to the mounting bracket 2, and a bowl-shaped flange part 5 extending from an axial end of a cylindrical body 4 in a radially outward direction. A distance D1 between a blade receiving surface 210 and an outer bottom surface of a flange part 5 is provided in a range of 4 [cm]-9 [cm].SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】小さな労力で草刈り作業を行うことができ、回転刃の摩耗、燃料消費、作業中の雑草の絡み付き等を抑えることのできる接地体及びこれを備えた刈払機を提供する。【解決手段】接地体1は、回転刃8と一体に回転するように刈払機9の駆動軸95に結合される。接地体1は、回転刃8の一面を受ける刃受け面210を有する取付金具2と、取付金具2に連結される筒体4と、筒体4の軸方向の端部から径外方向に伸びる椀状のフランジ部5とを備える。刃受け面210とフランジ部5の外底面との間の距離D1は、4[cm]~9[cm]の範囲内で設けられる。【選択図】図5
