A second embodiment was to utilize a detente notch in the side of a metal disk and roller under
spring pressure to hold the blade in place during normal operation. In the event of a log strike,
the collision would cause the ball to pop out of the detente and the blade would rotate out of the
way. When the blade was raised out of the water, gravity would cause it to rotate back to detente
position. Potential designs were generated using Belleville washers, leaf springs, cantilever
springs, and helical springs to provide the force to secure the roller in the detente notch.~Sprin
