DEFINITIONS AND CONVENTIONS
[0053] It should be noted that in the present detailed description, corresponding parts
illustrated in the various figures are indicated with the same numerical references.
The figures could illustrate the object of the invention through non-scale depictions;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0054] A wall mount for devices 2 for the maintenance of land, for example a hedge-trimming
device, blowers or cutting devices for mowing the turfgrass of a land such as brush
cutters or turf trimmers, is indicated overall by the reference number 1. As for example
shown in figures 10 and 11, the wall mount is capable of supporting or stowing in
an orderly manner, one or more devices 2 when not in use. It should be noted how the
wall mount 1 can carry out, in addition to the function of supporting the maintenance
devices, also functions for charging batteries, both when coupled to the device itself,
and when decoupled from the device and individually stored in the mount 1. Each device
2, to be able to be stored and supported by the wall mount 1, can comprise an attachment
portion 2a having coupling elements 42 intended to engage the support 1 (figures 12
and 13).
[0055] As will be clear from the following disclosure, the wall mount 1 can be made in two
bodies which can be removably coupled to each other, i.e., an anchoring body 7 which
can be removably coupled, on one side, to a device 2 and, on the other side, to a
support structure 4 which can be anchored to a wall P by means of a base 3. Below
the components and functions of the base 3 and the support structure 4 will be disclosed,
to then move on to the anchoring body 7.
[0056] With reference to figures 1, 2 and 4, the wall mount 1 can comprise a base 3 having
a bearing side 3a engageable with a wall P and, on the opposite side, an operating
side 3b to which the anchoring body 7 for supporting the device 2 is constrained.
The wall mount 1 can also comprise a support structure 4 constrained to the operating
side 3b of the base 3 and in turn having a guide 5 to facilitate the insertion and
movement relative to the base 3, of the anchoring body 7 carrying a device 2. As shown
in figures 1 and 2, the guide 5 extends along a main longitudinal extension direction
A for a preponderant part, optionally for the whole, a longitudinal overall dimension
of the base 3 extending parallel to the direction A. The guide 5 can also comprise
a first and a second longitudinal lip 13, 14, emerging from a peripheral edge of the
guide 5 on the side opposite the operating side 3b of the base 3 and extending parallel
to the main longitudinal extension direction A. In an example, the first and the second
longitudinal lip 13, 14 extend at opposite longitudinal ends of the guide 5, joined
together by respective first and second arcuate portions 13a, 13b, 14a, 14b which
connect together the same first and second longitudinal lip 13, 14 to define a single
protruding body. It should be noted how the first and second arcuate portions 13a,
13b, 14a, 14b define lead-in portions for facilitating the insertion of the anchoring
body 7 in engagement with the support structure 4.
[0057] Referring to figures 2 and 4, the support structure 4 can also comprise a spacer
6 protruding from the operating side 3b of the base 3 forming a gap 12 interposed
between the guide 5 and the same operating side 3b. The spacer 6 can extend for a
preponderant part of the longitudinal overall dimension of the base 3 parallel to
the direction A. In an example, the spacer 6 comprises a side wall which emerges transversely,
optionally orthogonally, from the operating side 3b of the base 3, integrally joining
the guide 5 to the base itself. It should be noted how the side wall of the spacer
6 engages the guide 5 at a central area of the guide itself, so that the first and
the second longitudinal lip 13, 14 and each arcuate portion protrude laterally. In
an example, the side wall of the spacer 6 delimits a bottom of the gap 12 on which
an active surface 6a is defined, from which a plurality of reliefs 11 can emerge.
With reference to figure 6, the reliefs 11 can extend adjacent to the first and second
lip 13, 14 of the guide 5, being spaced from each other parallel to the main longitudinal
extension direction A, to define a plurality of distinct engagement positions adapted
to constrain the anchoring body 7 to the support structure 4. In this case, two reliefs
11 adjacent to each other define a position for stably engaging the support structure
4 to the anchoring body 7. In an example, the reliefs 11 are spaced apart parallel
to the direction A, by a constant pitch, forming respective stable engagement positions
having the same dimensions. The reliefs 11 thus shaped allow to move the anchoring
body 7 parallel to the direction A by discrete steps equal to each other.
[0058] Passing now to describe the anchoring body 7, this can comprise a rear side configured
to releasably engage the support structure 4 and a front side configured to couple
with the attachment portion 2a of the land maintenance device 2. With reference to
figures 2 and 4, the anchoring body 7 has, on the front side, a main seat 8 configured
to receive the attachment portion 2a of the device 2. In an example, the main seat
8 is frontally delimited by a bottom wall 37, laterally delimited by two side profiles
28 and delimited below by a base profile 39 which transversely joins the two side
profiles 28. The coupling between the anchoring body 7 and the attachment portion
2a of the device can be made by means of the two side profiles 28, which emerge from
the bottom wall 37 to define, at an end opposite the bottom wall 37, an end lip 38a
engageable with the same attachment portion of the device. The end lip 38a can be
folded towards the inside of the main seat 8 defining a real hook which prevents the
extraction of the attachment portion 2a along a direction transverse to the bottom
wall 37. The anchoring body can also have two steps 40, each of which emerging from
one side inside the main seat 8 of a respective side profile 38, to define, in cooperation
with a respective end lip 38a, a track 41 for inserting the attachment portion 2a
of the device 2. In an example, each step 40 extends along a respective side profile
directly adjacent to the bottom wall, along a length of the side profile 38 along
a direction transverse to the main longitudinal extension direction A. Additionally,
each step 40 has a tapered shape proceeding from the base profile 39 towards an opposite
end of a respective end lip 38a to facilitate the insertion of the attachment portion
2a of the device 2.
[0059] The anchoring body 7 can also comprise a pushing rib 43 which emerges from the bottom
wall 37 inside the main seat 8. In an example, the pushing rib 43 can have an elongated
body which extends parallel to the side profiles 38 and is tapered away from the base
profile 39, to contact the attachment portion 2a of the device 2 and push it against
the respective end lips 38a of the side profiles 38.
[0060] Continuing now to disclose the rear side of the anchoring body 7, this can comprise
a coupling seat 15 configured to slidably engage the first and the second longitudinal
lip 13, 14 of the guide 5 and move the anchoring body itself relative to the support
structure 4. As shown in figure 3, the coupling seat 15 of the anchoring body 7 can
comprise a first and a second groove 16, 17 located at opposite ends of the coupling
seat 15, thus being spaced apart from each other. The first and the second groove
16, 17 can define a respective first and second undercut 18, 19 active in contrast
with the respective one of said first and second lip 13, 14 of the guide 5, to allow
a longitudinal sliding of the anchoring body 7 along the guide 5 and, at the same
time, prevent the extraction of the sliding seat 15 from the guide 5, according to
a direction transverse to the operating side 3b of the base 3.
[0061] The coupling seat 15 can also comprise a connecting portion 20 delimited by a first
and by a second sliding face 21, 22 adjacent to the first and the second groove 16,
17, respectively, to slidably contact opposite flanks of the side wall of the spacer
6. The first sliding face 21 can comprise protrusions 24 intended to cooperate with
the reliefs 11 of the spacer 6 of the support structure 4, snap-inserting between
two consecutive reliefs. In an example, the first sliding face 21 can comprise at
least two protrusions emerging from the first sliding face 21 towards the coupling
seat 15, spaced from each other and having a rounded surface. On the second sliding
face 22 there can be an elastically deformable section 23 configured to contact the
operating area 6a of the spacer 6 and exert an elastic thrust action on the same side
wall of the spacer 6. In an example, the elastically deformable section 23 can comprise
a thinned and inwardly curved wall portion of said coupling seat 15, which acts substantially
as a spring pushing the second sliding face 22 along a direction exiting from the
coupling seat 15. In an embodiment variant not shown in the attached figures, it is
possible to make the protrusions 24 on the second sliding face 22 and, in turn, make
the elastically deformable section 23 on the first sliding face 21.
[0062] As previously mentioned, the wall mount 1, in addition to supporting devices 2 for
land or garden maintenance, can further allow charging the devices 2 stored on the
mount itself. To this end, the mount 1 can comprise an electrical connector 25 insertable
and lockable inside an auxiliary seat 9 defined on the anchoring body 7. The connector
25 can be, on the one hand, insertable inside the device 2 to recharge it and, on
the other hand, electrically connected to an electrical power supply 26 (integrated
in the support or detachable from the latter) which in turn can be connected to a
power socket 28 by means of an electrical connection plug 27. As mentioned, the connector
25 is located inside an auxiliary seat 9, adjacent to the main seat 8 of the anchoring
body 7 and facing the front side of the anchoring body 7. The auxiliary seat 9 can
also comprise a passage opening 36, extending towards the main seat 8 of the anchoring
body 7, for receiving in crossing at least a part of the connector 25 through (figure
6).
[0063] The electrical connector 25, once inserted in the auxiliary seat 9, can be locked
in place by means of a locking box 29, which can be snap-inserted in the auxiliary
seat 9 itself, to prevent the extraction of the same connector 25. With reference
to figures 7 and 8, the locking box 29 can comprise a base 30 which acts in contact
with the rear side of the anchoring body 7 and from which a trunk 31 emerges which
can be inserted in the auxiliary seat 9 to contact the electrical connector 25. In
an example, the locking box 29 can also comprise a head 32, defined on an end of the
trunk 31 opposite the base 30 and having an active surface 32a of arcuate shape which
is counter-shaped to the connector 25. The trunk 31 of the locking box 29 can also
comprise at least one engagement tooth 34 which laterally delimits the head 32 and
is intended to snap-engage a respective recess 35 provided in the auxiliary seat 9.
In an example, the trunk 31 comprises two engagement teeth 34 which are opposite with
respect to the head 32 and intended to snap-engage respective recesses 35 provided
in the auxiliary seat 9.
[0064] It should further be noted, as also shown in figure 1, how the wall mount 1 can have
