The frame is mounted on ground-engaging, support wheels. The two-part joint includes (1) a bracelet which is fixably and releasably mounted on the trimmer's shaft without impairing the operator's ability to hand manipulate the trimmer when it is fully detached from the frame, and (2) a casing secured to the frame which detachably receives and holds the bracelet together with its shaft in a predetermined upstanding and inclined position against downward and rotational movements, but leaves the casing free to release the lock between the bracelet and the casing when a pull is exerted on the trimmer handle in an upward direction along the longitudinal axis of the trimmer shaft.

Abstract: An edger is provided with a rotatable cutting blade for trimming grass, weeds, and the like, wherein the angular orientation of the cutting blade is quickly and easily adjusted to a selected one of several cutting positions. The cutting blade is driven by a motor mounted within a motor housing which is in turn supported for rotation about a longitudinal axis between a front wheel assembly and a rear wheel assembly. A locking mechanism carried by the motor housing has a pair of spring-biased lugs normally received into locking recesses in the front and rear wheel assemblies to lock the motor housing at a selected rotational position and thereby lock the cutting blade at a selected angular orientation. The locking mechanism is manually retractable to withdraw the lugs simultaneously from their respective locking recesses to permit rotation of the motor housing simultaneously with respect to the front and rear wheel assemblies to alter the angular orientation of the cutting blade.

Abstract: This invention is for a lawn edger. The edger has a strong unitary base mounted on a middle row of wheels and may be tilted backwards onto a rear roller. A motor is mounted on top of the base and a handle connects to the rear of the base. A cutter extends forward of the base and is held into position by a pair of forwardly extending rods. The cutter, which turns in a direction to throw any debris forward of the edger, is driven by a belt from the motor. A spring operating against one of the rods keeps a constant tension on the drive belt. A shield surrounds the cutter and has a guide with a lower rear position extending below the cutting blade. The edger may be run on a flat solid surface without the blade striking the surface. The edger is balanced with the middle row of wheels being the approximate center of gravity. The edger can tilt forward to the cutting position or rearward against the rear roller.
