Abstract:
A blade trip system which allows a blade to adjust upwardly to safely pass over an obstruction and then revert downwardly after passing over the obstruction without damaging the blade or frame. The blade trip system generally includes a coupler connected to an implement; with the implement being adapted to traverse a ground surface. An arm may be rotatably connected at its first end to the coupler. The second end of the arm may be connected to a blade; with the blade being adapted to cut the ground surface. A biasing device connected between the arm and coupler is adapted to bias the arm away from the coupler. The arm is adapted to rotate upwardly toward the coupler to a raised position when the blade contacts an obstruction in the ground surface and rotate downwardly away from the coupler to a lowered position after the blade has passed over the obstruction.

Claim (Index 21):
A blade trip system, comprising:\n a coupler adapted to be connected to an implement, the implement being adapted to traverse a ground surface; an arm comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the arm is rotatably connected to the coupler to rotate in either a first rotational direction or a second rotational direction; a blade adapted to cut the ground surface, wherein the second end of the arm is connected to the blade; a biasing device connected between the coupler and the arm, wherein the biasing device is resiliently compressible in a linear manner so as to bias the arm in the second rotational direction, wherein the biasing device is comprised of a plurality of conical spring washers; and wherein the arm is adapted to rotate in the first rotational direction toward the coupler to a raised position when the blade contacts an obstruction in the ground surface such that the blade passes over the obstruction, wherein the arm is adapted to rotate in the second rotational direction away from the coupler to a lowered position after the blade has passed over the obstruction.
