PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a brush cutter that easily and efficiently carries out removal operations of weeds on a fence, wall surface, etc., without changing reaping blades.SOLUTION: The brush cutter includes blade press metal fittings 18, as a base 32, which sandwich a reaping blade 15 between a blade receiving metal fitting 17 attached to an output shaft 14 and the blade press metal fitting. Three wires 33a, 33b and 33c are fixed to a fixation face 32a facing the other side of the reaping blade 15 of the base 32. Both ends of each of the wires 33a, 33b and 33c are fixed to positions of point symmetry around the output shaft 14 as a center and the wires 33a, 33b and 33c are mutually shifted at equal intervals in the peripheral direction and arranged. The middle parts of the wires 33a, 33b and 33c are projected from the fixation face 32a and the wires are formed into a curved shape and members to be cut such as vines, etc., winding around a fence are cut by the wires 33a, 33b and 33c rotating together with the output shaft 14.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】刈刃の交換をすることなく、フェンスや壁面等の草を取り除く作業を容易且つ効率よく行うことができる刈払機を提供することである。【解決手段】出力軸14に取り付けられた刃受け金具17との間に刈刃15を挟み込んで固定する刃押え金具18を基盤32として構成し、この基盤32の刈刃15とは反対側を向く固定面32aに3本のワイヤ33a,33b,33cを固定する。各ワイヤ33a,33b,33cの両端を出力軸14を中心として点対称の位置に固定するとともに、各ワイヤ33a,33b,33cを互いに周方向に等間隔にずらして並べて配置する。各ワイヤ33a,33b,33cの中間部を固定面32aから突出する湾曲形状に形成し、出力軸14とともに回転するワイヤ33a,33b,33cによりフェンスに巻き付いたツル等の被切断部材を切断する。【選択図】図2
