Patent ID: 7707684

Claim:
An implement, comprising: a first handle, on which is disposed a control element in the form of a throttle trigger for a drive motor of the implement; a second handle, wherein said first handle is adjustable between a first operating position for a two-handed operation in which the implement is adapted to be guided by both said first handle and said second handle, and a second operating position for one-handed operation in which the implement is adapted to be guided by said first handle; and a handle frame, wherein said first handle and said second handle are disposed on said handle frame, further wherein said first handle and said second handle are pivotable together with said handle frame about a common first axis between said first and second operating positions, further wherein said first handle is mounted on said handle frame in such a way as to be rotatable relative to said handle frame about a longitudinal direction of said first handle about a second axis, further wherein said first handle is adapted to alternatively be secured to said handle frame in said first and said second operating positions, further wherein a pivot angle of said first handle about said second axis corresponds approximately to a pivot angle of said handle frame between said two positions about said first axis, and wherein said first handle is rotatable about said second axis in a direction opposite to the pivoting direction of said handle frame about said first axis such that in said first and second operating positions said throttle trigger is adapted to face generally the same direction relative to said implement.
