    535 573 than the cutting area requires due to only one guide cable on the smaller model is available.
    For extremely complicated installations, even two guide cables may be insufficient.
    Lack of guide cable functionality in some cases leads to downtime due to the mower not finding its charging station before the battery runs out. Or removing places within the mowing area remains uncut as the mower reaches them too seldom because the random mowing rarely leads it there. And once it gets there, the grass there can be so long that the short "visit" to the area only for the viewer has led to a seemingly even worse appearance than before.
    The device in the present invention provides, by applying the same, to both new and old installations of automatic lawnmowers, a unique solution to this possible lack of access to guide cables.
    Distinctive added value of the invention Characteristic of the device according to the present invention is that after division into the best possible section division based on the total cutting area, a number of advantageous properties are obtained such as: The different sections each look much more even and well cut.
    Stripes in the form of single cutting grooves or islands of sleeve incomplete cutting occur only within one section at a time. It can be expressed that section division largely eliminates seemingly inefficient and unplanned cutting "a little here and there" over the entire rock cutting area.
    For example. section division in such a way that a smaller section on the front of a property facing a public place, clipping may be necessary, perhaps only one to two days per week. In addition to the mowing days, the lawn will look incredibly smooth and well-cut the other days and give a viewer an eye-catching impression.
    Previously, before installing the device, the total need for mowing time per day and week is reduced. The automatic lawnmower can in all probability be offered a "day off" or shorter "working days". This leads to lower repair costs and longer life for the mower's mechanics and batteries.
    The guide cable operation of automatic lawnmowers, equipped in the basic version with this, enables a more time-efficient guidance of this type of mower in and out of its charging station to and from hard-to-reach parts of its mowing area.
    Automatic lawnmowers that with difficulty or not at all find their way from and back to their charging station to and from remote and / or hard-to-reach parts of the cutting area before sectioning due to the limited number of available guide cables in the basic version, take advantage of the addition of new possible guide cables and achieve put both time efficiency as well as adequate guide cable functionality with the total cutting area in mind.
    The section division possible with the device entails a doubling or doubling of the availability of this guide cable function.
    For each section division made with the aid of the device, access is given to as many additional guide cables as have been provided by the manufacturer of the mower. 535 573 3 - For existing installations of automatic lawnmowers where the ear conditions change such as with an increased total mowing area or with an increased complexity with new hard-to-reach places to mow, the device can be the decisive difference from switching to a more advanced automatic mower or having to live with the deficiencies the installation thus has. Owners of automatic lawnmower installations with overcapacity can with advantage enter into cooperation with a neighbor who does not have an automatic lawnmower and thus both share parts of the facility's current costs as well as future costs. It may be considered negative for manufacturers of such automatic lawn mowers. But new establishments may instead be created precisely by the new possibility that two plot owners, each with their own lawn, can share an installation.
    Sections can be controlled to be cut at times part of the day and / or a certain day of the week in order not to disturb other activities but also in order not to expose the relatively expensive automatic lawnmower to the risk of damage. During e.g. Friday evenings and Saturday evenings, you can avoid the mower going in a section facing a public place, walkways or roads. 535 573 Brief Description of the Drawings An embodiment of the device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Fig. 5 Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of an enclosure in the form of a box containing terminal devices, switching devices, function indication and control inputs for controlling switching devices. shows the same box as in fi gl mounted in this case on a base / charging station for a Husqvarna Automower, one of the makes of automatic lawn mowers available on the market. shows a principle sketch of a fairly common basic installation of an automatic lawnmower. Without and before mounting the device. shows a principle sketch of how section division can be designed and applied, on the same total cutting area as shown in fi g. 3, by means of the device. shows a principle sketch of how section division can be designed from two to the number of n sections of the total cutting area. shows in the form of function blocks the structure and constituent components of the device. Detailed description of an illustrative embodiment and application of the invention.
    I fi g. 1 shows the enclosure 1 for the part of the device hereinafter referred to as the box or box. The box should have an enclosure class lP5l or higher to be able to be placed outdoors.
    The box contains and constitutes an enclosure for the components, terminal devices, switchgear, function indicator and control input for controlling switchgear.
    The box is intended only to serve as an encapsulation of the components required to achieve the desired division into sections of the total cutting area. Its appearance and size are thus only dependent on the need for space for components and the desired aesthetic appearance.
    I fi g. 2 shows the box, l located at the back of in this example a base / charging station 2 for a Husqvarna Automower, one of the makes of automatic lawn mowers available on the market.
    I fi g. 3 shows a fairly common basic installation for an automatic lawnmower with base / charging station 2 without and before application of the invention. In this example, a boundary wire 3, bounded by a boundary wire 8,9, covers the entire total cutting area and a guide wire 10 which starts from the base / charging station and is connected to the boundary wire in the hard-to-reach area at 15.
    I fi g. 4 shows how the device's box 1 has been connected after a base / charging station 2 to an automatic lawnmower with guide cable function 10.
    Fig. 4 also shows that the length of the boundary cables has been partially modified.
    The total mowing area has been divided into sections 3 and 4. An overlapping surface 5 between sections 3 and 4 is necessary for the automatic lawnmower to be able to reach its base / charging station regardless of which section is actively connected.
    Active connection of each section takes place with the switching device illustrated as 6 and 7.
    Since the automatic lawnmower must be located in the base / charging station 2 or within the overlapping area 5 when the switching takes place, the timer function that the mower is usually equipped with is used. The mower's built-in timer function is configured to pause the mowing for about 2 hours per day, preferably at night. The timing adjuster 20 of the equipment 17 is synchronized to control the adjuster 21 during this time window.
    The guide cable 10 is divided into a Y-coupling at point 11 and then connected to the boundary wire in the hard-to-reach areas of the two respective sections at 15 and 16, respectively.
    The guide cable function has thus been doubled from only one to two instead.
    Only the guide cable 12 or 13, after the dividing point 11, is in active function connected at 15 and 16, respectively, to the section that is currently connected.
    I fi g. 5 shows how the device box 1 is connected after a base / charging station 2 to an automatic lawnmower and how the length of the boundary cables has been partially modified.
    Section division has been performed with a first section 3, a second section 4. The third area 14 should symbolize sections from number three to number n. An area 5 where the sections overlap is necessary for the automatic lawnmower to reach its base / charging station regardless which section is actively connected.
    Active connection of each section takes place with the switching device illustrated as 6 and 7.
    I fi g. 6 shows in the form of a function block the entire device in the form of the box 1 (the housing) and the equipment 17 for remotely controlling the switching device of the box. The equipment is primarily supplied 535 573 with suitable voltage and current via 18. A possible voltage adjustment and / or rectification takes place in the voltage adapter 19. Alternatively, under certain conditions the equipment can also be operated with a battery or accumulator belonging to the block 19.
    Furthermore, the equipment 17 consists of a timer 20 which in turn controls an adapter 21.
    The timer 20 can be caused to, via the switch 21, control the box switch 6,7, part or parts of a day and one or two days of a week or weeks.
    With a suitable length of cable 22, the adapter 21 is connected to the control input 23 in the box 1. In this way, the equipment 17 and the box 1 can be placed in the most suitable places and are largely independent of the distance created between them.
    In the box 1 an indication 24 can be added which shows how the control input 23 is affected.
    The control input is then connected to the switch 6,7.
    The switching device 6,7 can connect the different sections separately. Boundary cables, the already existing 8,9 and additional 26 are connected to the terminal 25.
    Conceivable modifications of the invention The part of the device illustrated in the descriptions, designated as the box (encapsulation), has been referred to for the purpose of learning. Since only the contents of the box give the invention its intended function, other types, sizes and appearances of boxes may be considered taking into account the best choice, linked to which brand of automatic lawnmower the invention is to be applied to. It is not, even if it becomes most common, necessary to mount the box on the mower's base / charging station, but it is just as possible to mount it on a nearby house wall, house base plinth or the like. It is even possible with an indoor placement where this may be the most suitable or most desirable.
    To connect a suitable sensor to the box or directly to the equipment to detect that the automatic lawnmower is operating in its base / charging station and thus be independent of a synchronized time window between the device and the automatic lawnmower's timer function.
    The device can be modified to combine connection of sections to a larger contiguous area than the individual sections individually.
    The cable connection between the adapter and the control input can be replaced with wireless transmission.
