Abstract: A golf green divot repair tool is provided that includes a handle and a tine structure. The tine structure includes a trough wall forming a trough, the trough wall mounted to the handle at a first end of the trough wall, and a tapered wall mounted to extend to a tip from a second end of the trough wall. The second end and the first end are on opposite ends of the trough. A trough cross section is defined in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis that extends from the first end to the second end. The trough cross section is further defined by an open side. The trough wall of the trough cross section is configured to trap soil within the trough wall when inserted in a divot.

The second board is coupled to an inside of the case facing the first board so as to shield a noise radiated from the first board.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hand tool or power tool device for cultivating the ground and soil, such as a hoe or hoeing tool, scraper, or the like, essentially comprising a working tool that is releasably or permanently mounted at the front end of a handle or the like which optionally has one or more specific holding zones or grips. The working tool is essentially composed of a bent integral or welded multipart metal strip to form a U-shaped lower section (6), at least part of which is used for cutting, and a shaped upper section to be mounted at the front end (3?) of the handle (3). The strip section extends between the legs of the U-shaped section (6), forms the core of the U, and has a serrated profile including teeth on the opposite longitudinal edges thereof, said teeth being preferably staggered. The device (1) is characterized in that said strip section is sharp at the two opposite longitudinal edges thereof.

Abstract: A shovel device having a base region and a transverse blade, the transverse blade having a longitudinally positioned forward blade edge that is operatively configured to cut the earth and trim a portion thereof. The shovel device is adapted to create an edge portion and further has a rearward wall so as to more easily allow the repositioning of removed earth from the edge region.

Abstract: A garden tool with a non-slip handle grip, designed for immediate and not difficult removal of deep-rooted plants such as Thistle and Dock weeds. The body of the tool is of rigid and strong construction, with angled cutting faces and includes a plant/soil containment chamber. The tools angular cutting faces and profile, are designed to produce efficient insertion and soil compression when downward thrust is applied, which therefore holds captive the plant root in the containment chamber, hence achieving successful plant removal from the ground when the tool is withdrawn. The slotted front of the containment chamber allows for unwanted plant and soil removal from the tool. Optional hand and foot cross-members added, to produce more forceful insertion into and easier withdrawal from the ground, and to create a convenient standing operating stance, when using the tool.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a multi-purpose gardening tool. In one preferred embodiment, the tool includes an arcuate central base. Extending from one end of the base is an arcuate scoop adapted to dig into, scoop up and transport a quantity of material. Extending from an opposite end of the base is a substantially V-shaped cutter having a sharpened peripheral edge for cutting through roots and the like. Preferably, the base, scoop and cutter are aligned and have a common radius of curvature to define a smooth bottom surface. The tool includes a handle extending generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tool. To protect a hand of a gardener gripping the handle, the handle offset from the peripheral edges of the scoop and cutter and the handle is supported at opposite ends by a pair of solid circular supports.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an apparatus for removing unwanted plants from a specific area of soil. The invention is comprised of a blade that is adapted to penetrate the surface of the soil and moving substantially parallel to the surface thereof. Proper movement of the blade is assisted by fins positioned on the sides of the blade, and act similarly to the rudder of a boat. The blade has a support member that has one end attached to the blade and the other end is capable of receiving a handle. The handle is configured in an arcuate shape to better facilitate grasping and holding by the user. This combination allows the user to grasp the handle, one hand on each side of the support member and blade, and push the invention forward undercutting the undesirable plant roots, thereby killing them. Minimal disruption of the soil is experienced, thereby optimizing the efficiency of work done by the user.

Abstract: A tool for excavating material from the bottom of a hole formed in the earth has a rotatable crankshaft adjacent one end of which is a hollow housing open at one end and coupled to the crankshaft for rotation therewith about a vertical axis and for rocking movements relative to the crank about a horizontal axis. The housing has a bottom wall and upstanding side walls for supporting loose material excavated from the hole in response to rotation of the crankshaft and the housing within the hole. The pivotal coupling of the housing to the crankshaft is such that gravity biases the housing to a position in which the contents of the housing are restrained from passing through the open end as the crankshaft and the housing are withdrawn from the hole.

Abstract: The lawn edger is made up of a number of interconnected flat plates. One plate lies horizontally in use and has a forward cutting edge. A second plate is vertical in use and depends downwardly from one side edge of the horizontal plate. A third plate lies beside the horizontal plate and is disposed at an oblique angle to the vertical plate. That plate has a forward cutting edge. A fourth plate lies adjacent to the rear of the edger. The angle of that plate is such that it directs material which collects on the horizontal plate to move to the side thereof opposite the lateral plate. An electric motor having an eccentric cam bay be mounted on the edger for causing the edger to vibrate or to reciprocate.

Abstract: The disclosed invention is a method and device for removing dirt and other debris from an open trench. The invention includes a tool with an elongated handle and a blade attached thereto. The blade is cantilevered from the support to allow positioning of dirt and other debris thereon. The combination creates an elongated shovel with a substantially flat bottom edge, so as to conform to the bottom of the trench. The handle and blade make a slightly acute angle one to another, with the center of gravity of the combination being below the handle when the handle is in a substantially vertical position and the placement of debris on the blade making little if any movement of that center of gravity. This method allows the user to stand directly over an open trench and remove soil with the tool with minimal displacement of the weight of the combination from the body of the user. This minimal displacement results in minimizing lower back stress while performing the task.

Abstract: A hand-held trenching tool having a loop-type blade is disclosed. The blade has a projection extending upwardly therefrom for positioning within a socket in a tubular handle. The projection includes a number of laterally spaced bores into which a locking pin may be positioned for selectively securing the blade to the handle. One loop-type blade includes a rectangular base, a pair of trapezoidal side walls extending upwardly from the base, and a rectangular crown connecting the respective tops of the side walls together. Another blade embodiment provides a cylindrical cutting portion having sloping, forward and rearward cutting edges, the forwardmost point of each the cutting edge being at the bottom thereof. The rearward cutting edge may, alternatively, have a plate secured thereto for retaining excavated material within the cylindrical cutting portion.
