GARDEN TOOL POWER SOURCE COMPARTMENT HAVING DRAINAGE
A garden tool includes a prime mover, a housing, a power source, and a door. The housing defines a power source compartment. The housing also defines a first aperture and a second aperture each in communication with the power source compartment. The power source is configured to provide power to the prime mover. The power source is removably receivable in the power source compartment. The door is configured to move between a closed position in which the first aperture is closed and an open position in which the first aperture is open. The second aperture is configured to provide fluid communication between the power source compartment and an external environment for draining fluid from the power source compartment.
A charging station for use with a robotic garden tool, the charging station including a base having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface of the base being configured to be supported on a support surface, a charging terminal coupled to the upper surface of the base, where the charging terminal includes a positive electrode and a ground electrode electrically insulated from the positive electrode, where the positive electrode and the ground electrode are configured to selectively extend upward to a location vertically above the upper surface of the base.
A lopper or lopper head attachment may include a primary gear, a secondary gear, a ratchet gear, an engagement flag, a dampened lag bolt, and a cutting blade. The secondary gear may be enmeshed with the primary gear. The secondary gear may define a lag groove radially offset form the secondary axis. The ratchet gear may be rotatable about a secondary axis separately from the secondary gear. The engagement flag may be rotatably mounted to secondary gear to move between an unengaged position and a engaged position. The dampened lag bolt may be slidably received within the lag groove to move relative to the secondary gear between a permissive position and a restrictive position. The cutting blade may be in mechanical communication with the ratchet gear to be pivoted thereby, in the engaged position of the engagement flag, to a closed position from an open position.
