PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hedge trimmer that enhances the efficiency of finishing lawn pruning.SOLUTION: In the hedge trimmer 1 having an eccentric cam for converting the rotary force of a rotary power source into the reciprocating movement of a blade 4, an attachment 10 serving as an adjusting mechanism for varying the reaped height of lawn in steps is provided. The attachment 10 is separate from a body part and made removable and its attached position to the body part can be varied in a plurality of steps by selectively fitting one of a plurality of fitting parts 5a to 5c and 12a to 12c over the body part or the attachment 10. The range in which the attachment 10 makes contact with the surface of the ground is from the tip of the blade 4 to near the rear end of the body part.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】芝の剪定の仕上げ効率を向上させるヘッジトリマを提供する。【解決手段】回転動力源の回転力をブレード4の往復運動に変換する偏心カムを有するヘッジトリマ1において、芝の刈り込み高さを段階的に変更する調整機構たるアタッチメント10を備えた。アタッチメント10は本体部とは別体であって着脱可能に構成され、本体部又はアタッチメント10に複数の嵌合部5a~5cと12a~12cのそれぞれ1つを選択的に嵌合させることによって、本体部への装着位置を複数段階に変更可能とした。アタッチメント10と地面と接する範囲は、ブレード4の先から本体部の後端付近までとした。【選択図】図1
