Abstract:
A hinged foliage cutter adapted for use against a surface of a screen enclosure includes a cutting head with a substantially flat top side to maintain contact with the screen during use. A handle is hingedly attached to a distal end of the cutting head. A cutting blade and comb assembly are attached to a proximal end of the cutting head. The comb assembly includes a plurality of comb teeth abutting the cutting blade and extending beyond the tip of the cutting blade by a determined length. The distal end of the handle is configured for releasable attachment to an extension pole to facilitate reaching the interior side of a screen roof of a screen enclosure. As the cutting head is moved along the surface of the screen, protruding foliage within the path of movement is directed by the comb into the cutting blade, which severs the foliage.
