INTERCHANGEABLE ELECTRIC MOTOR FOR POWERED GARDEN IMPLEMENTS

摘要

An electric motor sub-assembly with a gear train or drive train (46, 49, 54) and clutch (40), which replaces a conventional internal combustion engine unit including its conventional clutch. The speed increase or decrease of the gear train (46, 49, 54) is selected so that irrespective of whether an induction or universal electric motor is used, the speed of the clutch (40) substantially replicates the speed of the conventional internal combustion engine clutch. As a consequence, a wide range of implement frames can accept either the internal combustion engine unit or the electric motor sub-assembly to create differently powered implements with a maximum of commonality of parts.
