Abstract: The present invention is a blade which is designed and configured to be utilized with conventional edging devices. The blade of the present invention is substantially U-shaped and includes a top planar wall having opposite ends. Extending outward from each end is a rectangular shaped end portion. When in use, the outer walls of the end portions will contact the ground. This will offer the user a device which is versatile and powerful. For protecting the user, a cover is provided.

Abstract: A plurality of sand fighter rotor units are mounted to a folding frame upon a tractor. Each rotor unit operates in the furrows between rows of crops in an agricultural field. Each rotor unit has a plurality of inboard spiders mounted on an axle between a pair of bearings, and a plurality of outboard spiders mounted on short collars attached to the axle outside the pair of bearings. The prongs of the outboard spiders are shorter than the prongs of the inboard spiders. The outboard spiders are adjustable so that they may be placed close to the growing crops without coming into direct contact with the plants. Attaching the rotor units to a frame such that individual sections of the frame may be folded so that the distal wings of the frame when folded are substantially parallel to a center section.

Abstract: A powered lawn edger which is steerable by a walking operator in the manner of a wheelbarrow. The edger has a Y-shaped frame including a pair of handles each with handlegrips. A power unit is mounted on the frame between the handlegrips and a ground engaging wheel. A cutting blade is rotatable about an output shaft of a gear box which is powered from the power unit via a centrifugal clutch having a brake. A debris deflector is mounted on the axle of the wheel. An adjustment mechanism is provided to adjust the height of the cutting blade relative to the ground. The height of the debris deflector relative to the ground remains unchanged when the height of the cutting blade is adjusted.

Abstract: The present invention relates to electronic chassis installed on aircraft. More particularly, the present invention relates to a safety locking system for establishing the presence of the mechanical-electrical integrity of a chassis. More specifically, disclosed is a safety locking system for conditionally permitting or disallowing mating of an external connector with a mating chassis connector dependent upon whether or not the chassis is fastened to a support frame.
