Abstract: A vegetation trimmer having a powered cutter arranged to cut in an upright plane. A catcher is provided for catching the cut vegetation. It includes a first upwardly opening U-shaped collecting portion underlying the cutter and having a front portion extending to substantially forwardly of the bottom of the cutter, and an upwardly opening U-shaped rear portion extending from the first portion to substantially rearwardly of the bottom of the cutter. The catcher is removably secured to a soleplate portion of the cutter which may be a hand-held cutter. A wand may be removably attached to the hand-held cutter to permit its use at foot level.

Abstract: A freely rotatable, effectively tilt-free stand for carrying plants and the like. The stand includes a plurality of relatively rotatable members cooperatively defining a ball bearing structure wherein the ball bearings are disposed in an annular array at the periphery of the assembly so as to provide an effectively tilt-free rotation thereof. Support of the structure relative to the bearings is effected by metallic bearing plates which may be adhesively secured to other elements of the structure. The base member may have a lateral extent substantially greater than that of the rotatable portions to provide further tilt-free stability.
