Method of refurbishing a landscape power tool
A method of refurbishing a handheld landscape power tool includes separating an original motor of the power tool from a tool head of the power tool. The tool head includes a tool shaft extending proximate to the original motor. A replacement power head and a shaft coupler are provided. The replacement power head includes a motor and a power shaft mechanically coupled to the motor. The shaft coupler includes a power shaft connecter coupled to a shaft-specific connecter. The replacement power head is coupled to the shaft coupler by connecting the power shaft connecter to the power shaft of the replacement power head. The tool head is coupled to the shaft coupler by connecting the shaft-specific connecter to the tool shaft of the tool head.
Power landscaping tool ensemble for using multiple tool heads
A power tool ensemble includes at least a power head, a first shaft coupler, and a second shaft coupler, for use with tool heads of landscaping tools. The power head includes a motor and a power shaft mechanically coupled to the motor. Each shaft coupler includes a power shaft connecter for connecting to the power shaft, and a shaft-specific connecter for connecting to tool shafts of the tool heads. In each shaft coupler, the power shaft connecter is mechanically coupled to the shaft-specific connecter. The shaft-specific connecter in the first shaft coupler has a different tool shaft configuration from the shaft-specific connecter in the second shaft coupler.
WEEDING DEVICE
A weeding device provides a solution to the problem of removing dandelions and other weeds from a lawn or other area. The core components of the invention are a shaft and handle arranged so that a user can remove weeds while standing, a cutting head and motor configured to cut weeds, and an herbicide injector configured to inject an herbicide into the weed. Generally speaking, the components are configured as follows: the handle is at one end of the shaft and the motor, cutting head, and herbicide injector are at a second end of the shaft. The cutting head is configured to rotate around the herbicide injector to cut portions of the weed while herbicide is injected into the weed by the herbicide injector.
Electromotive hoe
An electromotive hoe includes a working rod which has a predetermined length, and has a power source provided at one side thereof and a shaft protruding from the other side thereof so that a rotational force of the power source is transmitted; an upper cover which has a disc shape and has a first through hole formed in the central portion so that the shaft is inserted; a rotating plate which has a plate-like structure, and has a second through hole formed in the central portion so that the shaft is inserted, and is coupled to an end portion of the shaft by a fastening means to be in close contact with a lower surface of the upper cover; and a hoe blade formed to protrude vertically along the edge of the rotating plate.
MICRO-TILLER MODULE
A micro-tiller module that is releasibly engageable with a hand drill can include a gear box assembly, first and second tilling wheel assemblies, and a stabilizer fork. The gear box assembly can include a housing, an input shaft extending along an input shaft axis, first and second output shafts, and a plurality of gears. The external end of the input shaft is configured to be releasibly engageable with a chuck of the hand drill. The tilling wheel assemblies can be respectively mounted to the output shafts. The stabilizer fork can extend from a base end fixed to the housing, along a stabilizer axis transverse to the input shaft axis, to a distal end from which first and second tines project. Each of the tines can extend further along the input shaft axis than transverse to the input shaft axis.
Hand Held Tilling Device
A hand-held tilling device for powered hand-held tilling of substrate includes a support that is hollow. A drive assembly is coupled to a top end of the support. The drive assembly is configured for grasping in a hand of a user. A tillage assembly is coupled to a bottom end of the support. The tillage assembly is drivingly coupled to the drive assembly. The drive assembly is positioned on the support for grasping in the hand of the user. The drive assembly is positioned to motivate the tillage assembly to till a substrate selected by the user.
Oscillating Weeder
An agricultural tool including a powered motor that supplies vibration to a tool implement. The vibration allows a user to dig with decreased effort, and also reduces the likelihood of severing a root on a plant by replacing the linear force required to dig with transverse vibration. The tool includes a one-handed grip, allowing the user a free hand to assist with gardening activities.
ELECTROMOTIVE HOE
Disclosed is an electromotive hoe, including: a working rod which has a predetermined length, and has a power source provided at one side thereof and a shaft protruding from the other side thereof so that a rotational force of the power source is transmitted; an upper cover which has a disc shape and has a first through hole formed in the central portion so that the shaft is inserted; a rotating plate which has a plate-like structure, and has a second through hole formed in the central portion so that the shaft is inserted, and is coupled to an end portion of the shaft by a fastening means to be in close contact with a lower surface of the upper cover; and a hoe blade formed to protrude vertically along the edge of the rotating plate.
Weed Picking Module and Method
A method and a module for picking weeds or plants with an implement provided on an agricultural vehicle is provided. The method comprises capturing images of a field traveled by the agricultural vehicle, the field comprising weeds and crops. The method also comprises generating a map from the captured images, comprising coordinates of the weeds and crops; determining, based on the coordinates of the weeds and crops, at least one picking location that maximizes a number of weeds to be picked in a single take and one offset for the implement to follow for arriving at the optimal location; moving the implement along the offset; and picking weeds at the optimal location with the implement.
Job-site tool
A job-site tool in one aspect of the present disclosure includes and a display. The display is configured to display information regarding the job-site tool. The display includes a circuit board, at least one light emitter, an electric conduction member, at least one lens, and a resin member. The at least one lens is provided on the circuit board to cover the at least one light emitter. The resin member includes a lens cover area that covers surroundings of the at least one lens to thereby secure the at least one lens to the circuit board, and an electric conduction cover area that covers the electric conduction member.
