Publication number: 20240224845Abstract: A soil manipulating device for digging and raking soil includes a base plate, which defines a first plane and which has a first edge that is attached to a first end of a shaft. A set of tines is attached to and extends from a second edge of the base plate. Each tine defines an associated second plane and has opposed edges, which are serrated. At least one of the tines has an associated second plane which intersects the first plane. The shaft can be grasped in one or both hands of a user, positioning the user to insert the tines into soil to manipulate the soil by using the tines to cut into the soil. Various embodiments of soil manipulators can be used to perform a variety of digging and raking tasks while in a substantially upright posture and in a lowered posture, such as while sitting or knelling.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2022Publication date: July 11, 2024Inventor: Edward Lenart

Patent number: 11633837Abstract: A retrofittable auxiliary pliers handle assembly includes a coupler removably coupled to a grip of a pair of pliers. The coupler is positionable between a free end of the grip and a pivot of the pliers. The coupler includes a receiver positioned laterally away from an exterior lateral surface of the grip. An auxiliary handle is positioned in the receiver such that the auxiliary handle is positioned adjacent to the exterior lateral surface and extends away from the pivot. A finger space is defined between the auxiliary handle and the grip. The auxiliary handle comprises a plate that elongated and has a first end, a second end, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, an upper edge and a lower edge. The coupler engages the plate adjacent to the first end such that the first lateral side faces the exterior lateral surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2020Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Inventor: Edward Lenart

Patent number: 11364610Abstract: A plank and tile lifting assembly includes a plate that has a lower end and a pair of legs is attached to the lower end such that the legs extend forward of the plate. The legs are spaced from each other. A pair of biasing ridges is attached to the rear side of the plate and extends to and beyond a juncture of the plate and the legs. The biasing ridges each have an outer surface that are convexly arcuate to facilitate a lever action of the legs being lifted upwardly as the plate is tilted rearwardly. A panel is attached to the lower end of the plate and has an opposite free edge. The panel extends downwardly from the lower end a distance less than the biasing ridges extend downwardly from the free edge. A handle is attached to the plate.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Inventor: Edward Lenart
