The patent was only applied for, but not proceeded with. Still an interesting read, though. PDF [274kB] attached.
Dunno about the practicality of this setup; it would have taken up quite a bit of room under the blade carrier disc, and restricted the maximum cutting height considerably.
The inventor's timing was a bit late in the day too; he put this gadget on the market after Victa had come up with their own solution to worn bolt heads and the complex bush/washer system; the shouldered bolt, with a diamond-shaped boss to engage the matching carrier hole. Which they have used ever since...
