  • Patent number: 6401341
    Abstract: A knife set for removing thorns from the surface of the nopal cactus petal which, in one aspect, is comprised of a cutting tool with a handle and a curved cutting blade extending out of a handle member. The handle is configured in a plane that is elevated above the average longitudinal axis of the curved blade allowing for the thorn removal without exposing the user's thumb and fingers to being cut and injured on the cactus petal prickers. The curved cutting blade has sharpened edges that extend the length of the blade and terminate in rounded corners at the blade end to prevent the cutting end from gouging and tearing the surrounding edible petal tissue. Another aspect of the disclosure comprises a securing tool having a curved blade that is generally perpendicular to the direction of the handle. The securing knife is used in combination with the cutting knife and is positioned against the cactus petal surface, near the base, to prevent the petal from shifting in location during the dethorning process.

  • Patent number: 5586392
    Abstract: A gardening tool for cutting weeds and other plant growth having a handle and a cutting head comprising first and second blade members which are adjustably positionable relative to each other. Each blade member has an elongated body having cutting edges extending along opposite longitudinal sides thereof. The blade members are connected end to end by a carriage bolt which is received by apertures in a first end of each blade member. The aperture in the first blade member is complimentary in shape to the square shank portion of the carriage bolt. The aperture in the second blade member is a star-shaped polygon which defines a plurality of contact surfaces for engagement with the square shank portion of the carriage bolt. When the second blade member is positioned on the first blade member at the desired angular orientation relative thereto, it will resist rotation due to the interengagement of the apertures with the square shank portion of the carriage bolt.

  • Patent number: 4945638
    Abstract: A tool for manually cutting, trimming and pruning hedges and the like. This cutting tool has a semi-circular curved blade, with a cutting surface on the inner side thereof, said blade being attached to a handle by wing nuts and bolts or other fastening means. This cutting tool makes vertical cuts by the user standing at right angles to a hedge and swinging downward on the side of the hedge. Horizontal cuts are made by the user swinging the tool from right to left, or vice versa, on top of the hedge. The curved blade is designed to increase and concentrate the cutting power of the tool. The handle is offset from the blade for safety purposes to keep the user's legs and feet outside the line of the swinging arc so that the legs and feet are not cut. The offset handle further keeps the hands from being scratched by the side of the hedge.

  • Patent number: 4886125
    Abstract: An improved accurate lightweight manual tool to cut suburban lawn and garden weeds efficiently and with little time and effort expended. It is like a miniature hoe half a man's height in length with a very thin very narrow blade, in length four to five times its width (FIG. 5). The chipper's light weight is achieved with a very lightweight conduit handle of any section joined at right angles by a secret joint to a backing plate for the blade and weighted with billet to increase and change the power for weight. A thin shock absorber is bolted between plate and blade by.The secret joint uses a steel billet driven through the metal plate into the conduit handle thereby expanding the handle against the metal collar and plate which has a self-centering protrusion fitting into a recess in the collar. The permanent right angle secret locking joint uses totally prefinished components.

  • Patent number: 4090730
    Abstract: This invention is a hand tool, for weeding or cultivating, consisting of angled handle attached to a blade with a serrated edge. The angle of handle and blade, and the cut of the serrated edge, combine to enable the user to easily slide the blade horizontally under the earth surface and pull the weeds out, rather than cut them off. The blade, according to the depicted embodiments, is made of spring steel, whereas the handle is made of plastic. As disclosed herein only by way of example, the handle supporting shaft is made of forged steel. The shaft is bent at an angle to dispose the blade in a horizontal plane.
