The working end of the device comprises a perpendicular shaft that creates a T-junction with the handle. A pair of parallel blades is secured onto the perpendicular shaft and disposed at a variable pitch. The blades position along the length of the shaft is adjustable to create different widths between blades. The blades extended downward to provide a dual-hoe device that is adapted to create a pair of parallel troughs through soil, particularly suited for garden beds or farms wherein seed is placed in parallel rows. The parallel blades are oriented from the device such that when the blades are in contact with the working surface, each blade will create a separate and parallel trough, thereby reducing time and effort in making a systematic garden design or alignment of farming rows.

Abstract: Tools for trimming excess vegetation from growing plants include inner and outer coaxially positioned, relatively rotatable cutter blade assemblies which establish an interior volume for receiving a plant to be trimmed. Excess vegetation from the plant which extends outwardly of the interior volume established by the cutter blades will therefore be severed upon relative rotation being effected therebetween. Most preferably, the inner cutter assembly includes sets of elongate cutter blade members whose having tined ends which may be partially embedded in the soil surrounding the growing plant to be trimmed. The outer cutter assembly is mounted for free movement both rotationally and longitudinally regarding the inner cutter assembly, and is most preferably connected to a motorized source of power (e.g., a conventional hand-held electric drill).

Abstract: A weeding tool with a combination of attachments integrated with a fulcrum to remove specific types of weeds based on their root structure. The attachments remove weeds whose roots are characterized as lengthy single-type roots, medium-depth bushy-hair type roots and near-surface vine-type roots. A fulcrum slidably attached to the tool handle ergonomically assists the gardener in extracting weeds by limiting angular rotation of the handle. The fulcrum may be used to apply foot pressure in penetrating hard soil. The fulcrum slides on the tool handle with respect to the end of the lifting blade to vary its penetration depth and is used for extracting single-type weed roots at different depths. The multiple-tine rake rotatably attached to the fulcrum is snapped into position and spring-biased to remain in position for extracting weeds having medium-depth bushy roots. The cultivator bar rotatably attached to the fulcrum is snapped into position for near-surface weed removal or general soil tilling.

Abstract: A garden tool is for use by a user to lay out columns of planting holes in a garden. The tool has a chassis that is sufficiently long to span a distance between columns to be laid out for the garden. A pair of blades each shaped for marking a surface of soil in the garden and for digging planting holes along a column in the garden, is fixed at an adjustable spacing to the chassis. The distance between the blades is selected to correspond to a desired distance between columns in the garden. A handle is connected to the chassis at a location between the blades, the handle being sufficiently long so that the blades are in contact with soil of the garden when a user is standing while holding the handle.

Abstract: A combination hoe and pivoting rake tool including a handle. A hoe portion is dimensioned for coupling with an end of the handle. A central rake portion is secured to the hoe portion. The central rake portion has a plurality of teeth extending outwardly therefrom perpendicular to the hoe portion. A pair of outer rake portions each have a plurality of teeth extending downwardly therefrom. Each of the outer rake portions are pivotally coupled with one of opposing ends of the central rake portion. A pivoting mechanism is secured to a lower end portion of the handle and pivotally coupled with the pair of outer rake portions.

Abstract: A double headed garden tool is provided and consists of an elongated handle, a plurality of different types of attachable garden tools, a bolt and wing nut for attaching one garden tool to one end of the elongated handle and another bolt and wing nut for attaching another garden tool at a 90.degree. angle to the other end of the elongated handle so that when one garden tool is not in use it will be out of the way when the other garden tool is in use.

Abstract: A garden row making tool comprising an elongated handle, a shovel on one side of said handle, a guide on the opposite side of said handle, the guide being adapted to follow a previously made furrow at a time when the shovel is making a new furrow parallel to the furrow the guide is being caused to follow, a support assembly disposed between and interconnecting the shovel and the guide and attached to the handle, the support assembly being extendable for different row spacings, a depth regulating shoe being attached to and disposed behind the shovel, the guide having two parallel planar sides at right angles to the length of the support assembly.

Abstract: A furrower having shares that are displaceable on a support pipe which is connected to a tool attachment socket by a swivel joint, that can be fastened in any position. The fastening place is effected by a clamping device which can be released against spring action by a manual knob or button. A clamping member within the head of the share is pressed by means of its clamping section against the support pipe. This clamping section can be released by pushing the manual knob inwards. Preferred places of attachment to the support pipe are defined by notches. Each notch can accommodate one share, the share being engaged with the notch by means of a notch pin.

Abstract: A cultivating tool propelled by a walking attendant has sheet metal tines mounted on a rotating axle for rotation therewith. The tines are channel-shaped with axle-accommodating apertures through the flanges and also through the webs. When the axle is engaged through the flange apertures, the ends of the web engage the soil flatwise so as to provide a hoeing action; and when the axle is engaged through the web apertures, the ends of the web engage the soil edgewise so as to provide a chopping action.

Abstract: A rake for smoothing sand and other particulate material surfaces has a head which is an elongate helical coil. Preferably, the coil is a coil spring which can be compressed axially from an open to a storage condition and means are provided for retaining the spring in its storage condition and advantageously also in intermediate operative conditions to compensate for variations in coarseness of the particulate material to be raked. It is also preferred that the rake handle is formed of a mutually inclined pair of arms movable to reduce their included angle and having the coil spring extending between their distal ends. It is especially preferred that the arms are arcuately mutually divergent so that the distal ends thereof move substantially linearly.

Abstract: A hand garden tool generally in the form of a rake wherein all tines are individually vertically-adjustable upon the crossbar, some to different depths depending from the crossbar and alternate tines can be elevated or raised to allow the depending tines to astraddle vegetable plant or flower rows so the cultivating action is had by a single raking action or pass of the converted rake cultivating tool along the vegetable rows and so that the rows are cultivated on opposite sides at the same time. The vegetable or flower rows in the garden which are to be cultivated by the use of this tool can be spaced closer together and conserve upon ground space and the work required for the cultivator to keep a garden thereby greatly reduced. The tool can be inverted and worked from one side or the other with the alternate raised tines by less rows at a time and at times the pulling is being made in more tough ground.
