Patent AT-E401779-T1: [Translated] AUTOMATIC HEDGE CUTTING DEVICE

The invention concerns a device for the upkeep of a hedge (10) comprising an element adapted to move in reciprocating motion parallel above and/or beside the hedge (10). The displacement is performed repeatedly and automatically so as to prevent the hedge from growing beyond a predetermined limit by the trajectory of the mobile element. The mobile element is shaped like a gantry and moves along one or several aerial or ground rails (4). The ridges of the gantry are fitted with a cutting edge or with an abrasive element (6). The mobile element is driven by a roller (3) and is mounted on an electric gear motor (1).
