Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remove weeds without cutting roots. SOLUTION: A stainless steel, etc., is bent to provide an approximately V-shaped round bar 1. The lower tip parts of the round bar 1 are mildly bent to form bent parts 2. The front faces of the tip part of the bent part 2 are slantingly cut out to form blade tip parts 3. Both sides of the bent parts 2 are cut and blade parts 4 are formed to give the objective weeding tool. By the constitution, the blade tips comprises a pair and the width of the blade tips adjustable to the size of the root of a weed. The weeding tool is extremely readily driven into and extracted from the ground by the blade tip parts 3 and the blade parts 4.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a weeding tool which can remove grass from various grasses without cutting the grass roots.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a hand, a sickle, an all-rounder, a hoe or the like is often used as a means for removing grass such as weeds, and there is no dedicated device for removing grass from the root.

[0003]

In the conventional sickle, all-purpose, hoe, etc., the root is cut off, the weight of the tool causes inconvenience in handling, poor workability and operability in a narrow space. There were various problems such as inferiority.

The present invention has been made in consideration of such circumstances, and it is light in weight, rich in elasticity and excellent in handleability, and can easily be pulled out from soil by forming a curved portion. , An object is to provide a highly convenient weeding tool.

[0005]

The weeding tool of the present invention comprises a round bar made of stainless steel or the like which is formed into a substantially V shape, and a curve formed by gently bending a front portion of the round bar downward. And a cutting edge portion formed by cutting the front portion of the curved portion in a diagonal direction from the base end portion to the end portion thereof.

Further, in this weeding tool, both side surfaces of the curved portion are cut to form planar blade portions to facilitate insertion into the ground.

Furthermore, since an annular handle is formed behind the round bar, the operability of weeding can be improved.

[0008] In addition, it is possible to contribute to improving the gripping property by covering the cover body that is in close contact with the round bar while leaving the curved portion of the round bar.

These configurations are small and lightweight,
It is easy to manufacture. Further, since the round bar is formed in a substantially V shape, the width of the cutting edge can be adjusted according to the size of the grass. In addition, it is easy to insert it into the ground by the blade and the tip of the round bar.

[0010]

1 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is a round bar made of an elastic material such as stainless steel and having a diameter of about 5 to 7 mm. As shown in the figure, the round bar 1 is formed into a substantially V shape by gently bending its central portion. Has been done. A curved portion 2 is formed by gently bending a front portion of the round bar 1 downward. Reference numeral 3 denotes a cutting edge portion, which is a tip portion of the curved portion 2 and is formed by cutting in an oblique direction from a base end portion to a distal end portion of a front portion thereof. Reference numeral 4 denotes a blade portion formed by cutting both side surfaces of the curved portion 2 into a planar shape. Reference numeral 5 denotes a cover body made of cloth, synthetic resin or the like, which covers the round bar 1 with its curved portion left.

In the weeding tool having the above structure, when the grass is mowed from the ground, the round bar 1 is formed in a V shape, so that the width can be adjusted according to the size of the grass and the efficiency can be improved. It is good and easy to mow the grass (see Figures 4 and 5). The blade tip 3 at the tip of the curved portion 2 serves as a guide for insertion into the ground, and it is extremely easy to insert the blade into the soil. In addition, since the planar blade portions 4 are formed on both side surfaces of the curved portion, it also serves as an introduction assisting portion for insertion into the ground, which facilitates grass cutting work by cutting surrounding grass. Further, if the cover body 5 is mounted in a cold weather such as winter, the workability thereof is not hindered. In addition, since the blades of the round bar are two pairs, it is possible to pull out the root and the stem at the same time if the main body is used diagonally, and there is little resistance to cutting the root or pulling out, which is efficient. .

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which an annular grip portion 6 is formed behind the round bar 1. In the weeding work on the handle portion 6, since the handle portion 6 is gripped and operated, the operability and handleability are further improved.
The other actions and effects are similar to those of the previous embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but various modifications can be made. For example, the material of the round bar 1 is not limited to stainless steel, and elastic plastic or the like can be selected.

[0014]

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, it has a simple structure and is light in weight and excellent in handleability and operability. Further, the V-shaped shape makes it very easy to adjust the width of the cutting edge, and the cutting edge and the cutting edge facilitate insertion into the soil. Furthermore, since the tip of the round bar is curved, there is little resistance to pulling out from the ground and it can be easily pulled out from the soil. In addition, since the soil is excavated by the cutting edge of the tip, it is not necessary to excavate the extra portion of the soil as in the conventional case, and there is an advantage that the soil can be excavated to a target size and efficient work can be performed.

In addition, it is suitable for weeding such as planting and lawn, and also suitable for various planting replacements such as flowers, bulbs, vegetables and seedlings.
