Automatic bypassing device of tying posts in fruit-bearing hedges, and agricultural equipment making use thereof
An apparatus for automatically bypassing tying posts in fruit-bearing hedges has a working head with a pair of vertical drive shafts, each having stacks of toothed cutting disks mounted thereon. Each of the vertical drive shafts having a an opening wheel thereof. The stacks are movable between a position in which the cutting disks mesh with each other and a position in which the stacks of the cutting disks are spaced away from each other. The opening wheels are connected by speed reducers to the shaft such that the open wheels rotate at a speed less than the cutting disks.
The present invention relates to a method for automatically inspecting and/or sorting in order to analyze and/or distinguish, within a flux, objects belonging to at least two separate categories on the basis of the chemical composition. The method involves providing a substantially single-layer flow of randomly arranged objects passing over a predetermined width; projecting a laser flux that is shaped within an analysis area having the objects passing therethrough; collecting and shaping the detection signals corresponding to the responses output by each object affected by the laser flux; processing and assessing the collected and shaped detection signals, synchronized with the projection of the laser flux, by means of an adapted analysis device that makes it possible to distinguish between the objects. Said method is characterized in that it also involves: dividing the original incident laser flux (3) into a plurality of collimated or focused secondary beams (3') and simultaneously applying the latter at points spaced apart and distributed within the analysis area (4); and simultaneously collecting, in parallel, the detection signals generated by each secondary beam (3') on contact with an object, item, or piece (1) within the analysis area.

ROTARY CUTTING HEAD USING WIRE-SHAPED FLEXIBLE CUTTING ELEMENTS, AND CUTTING DEVICES COMPRISING SUCH A CUTTING HEAD
Disclosed is a rotary cutting head using flexible strands of cutting wire that can be placed inside said cutting head. The clamping mechanism of the cutting head comprises pinching cams (17) that are mounted in such a way as to be pivotable on planes that are parallel to one another and to the axis of rotation (A-A) of the cutting head. The support for the clamping mechanism (2) is mounted in such a way as to be axially movable in the outer housing (1) of the cutting head. The outer housing (1) and the support for the clamping mechanism (2) are complementary to each other in such a way that simultaneously applying a relative axial movement to the outer housing (1) and the support for the clamping mechanism (2) in opposite directions (F1, F2) enables the pinching cams (17) to be lifted, thus allowing the cutting strands to be placed, unwound, or retracted, or enables the cams (17) to be lowered in order for the cutting strands to be blocked within the cutting head.

ROTARY CUTTING HEAD USING CUTTING BLADES, AND CUTTING DEVICES COMPRISING SUCH A CUTTING HEAD
Disclosed is a rotary cutting head for portable cutting devices, such as lawn trimmers, edge trimmers, brush cutters, hedge trimmers, and the like which use cutting blades. The drive shaft (3), the blade supporting housing (1), and the blade (5) of said cutting head have complementary means which, manually and without using tools, allow the blade (5) to be placed, changed, centered, and axially positioned relative to the drive shaft (3) and to be rotationally coupled to the blade supporting housing (1) by performing an axial movement combined with an angular or linear movement of the blade (5) relative to the drive shaft (3) until the blade (5) and the supporting housing (1) start automatically interlocking.
Disclosed are a multifunctional rotary cutting head (1) for cutting devices as well as portable devices equipped with such a cutting head. The cutting head comprises a rotary housing that consists of at least a top part (1A) and a bottom part (1B) and accommodates a support (2) for one or more cutting elements or tools. The support (2) is penetrated by an axial drive shaft (6) on which the support (2) is mounted. The support (2) for the cutting element(s) or tool(s) has two levels for selectively mounting the cutting element(s) or tool(s), i.e. a first level designed to mount strands of cutting wire (3) and a second level designed to mount an interchangeable cutting blade (5).
