forming thereby an opening through the disk body that is
radially outwardly of the juncture;
said segment having an inclined leading edge with cutting
teeth on the edge for cutting in the direction of rotation and
as a result of the angular orientation of the blades, said teeth
presenting a laterally extended cutting section from a face
view and laterally extended cutting section from an edge
view of the disk.
Claim 57 of the '936 application reads as follows, with differences from the '700 patent
claim 1 bracketed for deletions and underlined for additions:
A brush cutting blade for mounting to a drive shaft manipulated by a
handle, said brush cutting blade comprising:
a circular disk having a disk body defining a plane and
having top and bottom sides and a peripheral edge, teeth
formed on the peripheral edge and defining a direction of
rotation of the disk for cutting, and a center mount for
mounting the disk to the drive shaft with the top side facing
the handle for rotatively driving the disk in the defined
direction of rotation;
at least one cutting segment formed out of the disk body
positioned radially outward of the center mount and radially
inward of the peripheral edge, said segment having a
generally curved triangular shape with three sides, one side
being unsevered and forming a juncture with the disk body
and the other sides extending from said one side radially
outward[ly] of the center mount severed from the disk body,
said segment deflected outwardly of the plane of the disk
body toward the bottom side of the disk body at an angled
orientation relative to the disk body between positions of co
planar and normal relative to the plane of the disk body and
forming thereby an opening through the disk body that is
radially outwardly of the juncture;
said segment having an inclined leading edge with cutting
teeth on the edge for cutting in the direction of the rotation
and as a result of the angular orientation of the blades, said
teeth presenting a laterally extended cutting section from a
