Abstract: The present invention is a hand held, seed planting device for use by individuals. It is comprised of a soil probe for insertion into the earth, a seed feed conduit, and a movable clearing rod that slides through the soil probe. The clearing rod is used to clean the probe and embed the seeds in the earth. An adjustable depth gauge on the probe allows for the consistent, measured insertion of the seeds into the soil without stooping.

Abstract: An aeration machine 10 comprising a drive mechanism 16 connected to sets of tines 18 by a vibration absorbing linkage arrangement 34. The arrangement 34 enables the tines 18 to remain vertical when extending into the ground thereby avoiding elongation of the holes formed thereby. The aeration machine includes a linkage arrangement including a vibration absorbing member. The vibration absorbing member comprises a first part located at least partially within a hollow housing and is held within the hollow housing by a plurality of resilient members.

Abstract: A seat operated lawn treatment device adapted for connection to a powered vehicle. such as a mower or tractor has a ground mobile wheeled base frame. A first subsidiary frame having a seat thereon is pivotally secured to the wheeled base frame. A second subsidiary frame is also pivotally secured to the wheeled base frame so that at least a portion of the second subsidiary frame is disposed under and moveable directly or indirectly by at least a portion of the first subsidiary frame. The second subsidiary frame includes a pair of axially aligned spaced bearings supporting an axle borne turf treatment unit and is spring biased to a raised and inoperative transport position of the axle borne turf treating unit when no weight is placed upon the seat of the first subsidiary frame. However, when weight is placed on the seat of the first subsidiary frame the second subsidiary frame is moved to a lowered operative ground-engaging position of its interconnected the axle borne turf treating unit. The axle borne turf treatment unit is preferably one of an aerator, a roller, or a slicer.

Abstract: Carriage (10) attachable to a prime mover (41) for travel over turf or grass wherein the carriage (10) has idler rollers (12, 13 and 14) and a ground aeration mechanism in the form of a support axle (15) having a plurality of slicer blades (16) attached thereto. There is also provided a housing (11) having a hollow interior (33) which houses rollers (12, 13 and 14) and ground aeration mechanism (15 and 16). In use, when carriage (10) travels over turf or grass, both rollers (12, 13 and 14) and the ground aeration mechanism (15 and 16) operate simultaneously to not only roll the grass but also slice it for the purpose of facilitating moisture penetration.

Abstract: A planting device includes a housing for engaging into soil and having a rear and two side walls, and a pivotal jaw pivotally secured to the housing and rotatable toward and away from the rear wall of the housing. The pivotal jaw and the side walls and the rear wall of the housing form an enclosed peripheral portion for preventing the soil from entering into the housing when the pivotal jaw is moved away from the rear wall of the housing. A conduit is secured on top of the housing, a tube secured to the housing and the conduit, and a handle adjustably secured to the tube.

Abstract: An abrading tine for use with a turf aeration apparatus has abrading structure that is defined on and protrudes from an outer surface of the metal tube forming the tine. The abrading structure forms at least ten discrete protrusions per tine and such that a distance between a peak of each protrusion and the outer surface ranges between 1-12 mm. The abrading structure is defined such that a significant increase in water infiltration and root mass of the grass turf is achieved as compared to a conventional tine. The abrading tine is adapted to allow the proximal end of the tube to be operably coupled to the turf aeration apparatus by any number of known attachment arrangement. The tube may be slightly tapered and the distal end beveled for easier insertion into grass turf. The abrading structure can comprise a plurality of grating elements or a knurled pattern defined in the outer surface. In one embodiment, a metal sheet having grating elements comprised of apertures and corresponding raised structures is welded around the tube. In another embodiment, a knurled or threaded pattern is formed on the outer surface of the tube to create the abrading structure.

Abstract translation: 用于草皮曝气装置的研磨齿具有限定在形成齿的金属管的外表面上并从其突出的研磨结构。 研磨结构每个齿形成至少十个离散的突起，并且使得每个突起的峰与外表面之间的距离在1-12mm之间。 定义了研磨结构，使得与常规齿相比，实现了草皮的水渗透和根质量的显着增加。 研磨齿适于允许管的近端通过任何数量的已知附接装置可操作地联接到草坪曝气装置。 管可以是稍微锥形的，并且远端倾斜以更容易地插入草草。 研磨结构可以包括限定在外表面中的多个光栅元件或滚花图案。 在一个实施例中，具有由孔组成的光栅元件的金属片和对应的凸起结构焊接在管周围。 在另一个实施例中，在管的外表面上形成滚花或螺纹图案以产生研磨结构。

Abstract: A movable implement for loosening soil below ground, in which a row of blades with blade holders are located perpendicular to a direction of motion of the implement. A supporting arm has one end articulated to each blade, and a frame is articulated to another end of the supporting arm. The supporting arm is engaged by a connecting rod of a crank device, which operates in a vertical plane parallel to the direction of motion. The supporting arm mounts a blade adjustment lever with two arms. The adjustment lever pivots coaxially with an articulating shaft. A stop is mounted on a downward-extending arm of the blade-adjustment lever, and points below the articulating shaft. A lever-adjusting device has a variable angle to the supporting arm for varying the angle of the blade to the ground. A spring forces a blade holder against the stop. The blades are forced away from the stop during movement of the implement.
