In the operating device, the operating element is a pivot operating lever which is held on the operating element receiving region so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis, wherein the pivot axis extends with a main direction component perpendicular to a shank longitudinal axis of the handle shank, and wherein the finger rest region, in a longitudinal extension along the outer side of the operating element receiving region, has a bent and/or angled course with a circumferential direction component and an axial direction component.

A wheeled weed trimmer support assembly for using a weed trimmer to evenly and easily cut grass includes a rear support apparatus and a front support apparatus. The rear support apparatus comprises a rear clamp that is selectively engageable with a shaft of a weed trimmer and a rear support coupled to the rear clamp. A rotational joint is coupled to the rear support. A rear fork is coupled to a bottom portion of the rotational joint and a rear wheel is coupled to the rear fork. The front support apparatus comprises a front clamp that is selectively engageable with the shaft of the weed trimmer. A front support is coupled to the front clamp. A front fork is coupled to a front bottom end of the front support and a pair of front wheels is coupled to the front fork.

A trimmer tool shaft light attachment apparatus for adding a light source to trimmer tools includes a clamp body having a clamp outer side, a clamp inner side, a clamp front edge, and a clamp back edge. The clamp body has a left arm portion, a medial portion, and a right arm portion to selectively engage a shaft of a trimmer tool. A light housing is coupled to the clamp inner side and has a housing front side and a housing inner side defining a housing cavity with the clamp inner side. An LED is coupled within the housing cavity and extends through the housing front side. A battery is coupled within the housing cavity and is in operational communication with the LED. A power button is coupled to the clamp body. The power button is in operational communication with the LED and the battery.

A handle for a hand-guided power tool has a shaft with a fastening end and a free end. The fastening end is provided to secure the handle on the power tool. The handle has an outer side that is designed to at least partially support a palm of a hand of a user. An inner side is positioned opposite the outer side at the handle. A thumb support surface is provided at the inner side. The thumb support surface, viewed in a side view of the handle perpendicular to the inner side, is positioned at an angle of at least 20 and at most 70 in relation to a longitudinal axis of the handle at every point of the thumb support surface. A power tool such as a trimmer has a handle bar provided with a handle with such a thumb support surface.

Various embodiments of a grounds maintenance vehicle are described herein. The vehicle includes a frame and an implement connected to the frame. The implement includes a housing, a first spindle pulley, and a second spindle pulley. The vehicle further includes a power system having a prime mover and an implement drive system. The implement drive system includes a drive pulley connected to the prime mover, an idler pulley, and an endless belt engaging the drive pulley, the idler pulley, the first spindle pulley, and the second spindle pulley. A first longitudinal distance between an idler pulley axis and a drive pulley axis is greater than a second longitudinal distance between a first spindle pulley axis and the drive pulley axis and a third longitudinal distance between a second spindle pulley axis and the drive pulley axis.

A carrying device for carrying a hand-guided power tool by a user has a shoulder strap and a lateral leg plate with a connecting unit for coupling a power tool to the carrying device. A support strap is connected with one end to the shoulder strap and the leg plate is slidably arranged at the support strap to slide along the support strap in a longitudinal direction thereof. A fixation device is arranged between support strap and leg plate and has a release position and a blocking position. In the release position, the leg plate is slidable along the support strap; in the blocking position, the leg plate is non-slidably secured on the support strap. The blocking position is correlated with a first working mode of the power tool; the release position is correlated with a second working mode of the power tool.

An attachment for a gardening equipment, which includes a cylindrical structure, including: a housing including a hollow interior defining a reservoir for storing fluid; a channel formed along a length of the housing; a pair of protrusions including a first protrusion and a second protrusion, each of the first and second protrusions being juxtaposed relative to one another and extending along a length of the channel; and wherein the first protrusion and the second protrusion defines a gap therebetween, the gap defining an unbiased width and a second width which is greater than the first width during placement of the cylindrical structure of the gardening equipment within the channel formed along the length of the housing.

An attachment for a tool having an elongated shaft including a generally S-shaped arm member including an elongated handle; and an attachment configured to pivotably couple the generally S-shaped arm member to the elongated shaft, wherein when the generally S-shaped arm member is coupled to the elongated shaft, the generally S-shaped arm member is configured to transition between a folded state in which the elongated handle is generally parallel relative to a longitudinally extending axis of the elongated shaft and an operable state in which an axis extending lengthwise along the elongated handle is orthogonal relative to the elongated shaft.
