  • Patent number: 5836142
    Abstract: A multiple frame wheel attachment connectable to a handheld device, such as a gasoline powered weed trimmer. The wheel attachment has a pair of wheels attached to the ends of an axle and a pair of frame assemblies connecting the axle and wheels to the lawn trimmer. Both of the frame assemblies are mounted to the axle and to the shaft of the device. One of the frame assemblies is attached to the shaft near the operating unit of the device and the other frame assembly is attached to the shaft above the point where the first frame assembly is attached. The first and second frame assemblies support the shaft at two locations. The wheel attachment not only provides support during operation of the handheld device, but also functions as a stand so that when the device is not in use, it will remain in an upright position for storage, refueling service, and maintenance. The wheel attachment allows easy mobility of the operating unit over the work area.
