  • Patent number: 5398768
    Abstract: An aerator includes a frame supported on a pair of forward drive wheels and a pair of rearward caster wheels. An aerator head is mounted on a pivot frame on the forward end of the aerator frame, pivotable to move the aerator head from a disengaged position above the ground, downwardly to an engaged position wherein tines on the aerator head work the soil. The pivot frame includes a forwardly projecting arm upon which the aerator head is mounted, and a rearwardly projecting arm upon which the forward wheels of the frame are mounted, such that movement of the pivot frame will engage either the forward wheels of the frame or the aerator head with the ground. The aerator head is mounted forwardly of the forward end of the frame such that the tines on the aerator head form the forward most part of the aerator.

  • Patent number: 5287935
    Abstract: A manual tool for cutting and removing weeds and grass (11) from gardens and landscaping beds, having a cutting blade (9) and rake (1) attached to the rear and front respectively of a chassis (5) mounted on an axle (4) and wheels (3a, 3b) with a handle (6) angularly attached to the rear of the chassis (5). The cutting blade (9) is preferably concave shaped with a front concave cutting edge (13). When the tool is pushed forward by the handle (6) the concave cutting blade (9) pulls and cuts weeds and grass (11) below the surface of the ground (7). The cut weeds are then removed by pulling backward on the handle (6) which drags tines (2) on the rake (1) over the ground (7) to gather and remove the weeds (11). Optionally, the rake (1) is removeably attachable so that the tool can be used only for cutting weeds (11) as desired.
