  • Patent number: 9950776
    Abstract: Weed-trimmer outboard motor attachment has a lower shaft housing with a proximal coupling to correspondingly mate and engage a distal mid-shaft coupling of an upper part of a motorized weed-trimming device having a motor and a shaft that rotate a number of rotations per minute when operating; a distal termination thereto, which includes a propeller; and a rotation speed reduction unit to reduce a number of rotations of the propeller in relation to the number of rotations of the motor of the motorized weed-trimming device. The attachment can be assembled with the weed-trimming device to provide an outboard motor. A mount for mounting the weed-trimmer outboard motor to a boat can be provided as well.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6616489
    Abstract: Motorized weed-trimming device can contain a screw or water-wheel attachment. The screw-adaptation part may be in the form of a grain auger, post-hole digger, drill bit, water-screw, for example, a propeller, and so forth and the like, and the water-wheel may be in the form of a side wheel type paddle water-wheel and so forth and the like. Inboard or outboard styles may be employed for or in combination with watercraft. Preferably, the attachment terminates with the propeller so as to form an outboard motor, say, with the weed-trimming device being gasoline-powered.
