  • Weed puller and ejector
    Patent number: 4281866
    Abstract: A metal strap having a pedal, fulcrum and weed pulling trowel is attached to the bottom of an elongated handle. The trowel is bifurcated and notched so it may be forced into the ground by a foot on the pedal and the weed root caught within the slot and pried from the ground by the fulcrum. The weed is ejected from the slot by moving a blade in the slot downward against spring action. In one embodiment the tines of the trowel are twisted on each side of the slot.
