Abstract: A device for keeping a flower pot or the like raised from the bottom of a water retaining flower pot concealer or the like, whereby moisture may be supplied to the roots and soil in the flower pot by a wick extending from a water supply in the bottom of the pot concealer below the bottom level of the flower pot. The device is defined by a unitary piece, which in the outset is planar, comprising a central portion which is to support the flower pot and a number of circumferentially separated rim portions adapted to keep the central portion lifted above the bottom of the concealer. Between the lifting rim portions, which are hingedly connected to the central portion, further circumferentially separated rim portions are provided, which are also hingedly connected to the central portion for the purpose of stiffening the same. The further rim portions can be hingedly connected to or detachably connected to the lifting rim portions.

Abstract: A device for feeding potted plants, consisting of a plant pot comprising a slot for the introduction of a wick, the said wick being attached to a tongue forming part of an adapter, a device for varying the level of the plant pot arrangement in a re-potting unit and a level indicator.

Abstract: A connector comprising a tapered socket component, a complementary tapered spigot component and a sleeve component for location between the socket component and the spigot component, the sleeve component and one of the other components being screw engageable, whereby, in use, screwing together of these components laterally deforms the sleeve component to clamp the spigot component within the socket component.

Abstract: A holder for a plurality of tools having shafts or handles; a plurality of notches, each for a handle, with each notch having two side walls and at least one of the walls being sloped, and a gripping roller resting against the sloped wall and engaging the tool shaft or handle by wedging against it.

Abstract: A wheel supported chassis has a motor driving it intermittently across a lawn or turf surface for predetermined distances between cycles, a drilling means drills holes in the turf area while the apparatus is stationary, a collecting platform feeds tubular plugs from an upper elevation to a transport wheel which positions a plug carried in a tubular container over a drilled hole, a cylinder for reciprocating the drilling means also effects pushing of the plug into the drilled hole with the plug being removed from a tubular container and the cycle being repeated as the apparatus traverses a desired work area.

Abstract: Power grass shears detachably attached to a handle: the handle includes a rod extending in the cutting plane; a connection between the shears and the rod to enable the shears to be rotated around the rod; the connection comprises various arrangements of a pin, and detent like means for enabling the shears to be held at various rotative positions.
