Handheld lawn maintenance tool

A handheld lawn maintenance tool comprising:

• a power head having a power source releasably attached thereto, said power head including a power generator electrically connected to said power source for generating output power, a first attachment mechanism operatively connected to said power generator, a trigger operatively connected to said power generator for selectively controlling said output power from said power generator, a housing, a first handle and a second handle integrally connected to said housing, said second handle extending from a fixed pivot point on a lower portion of said housing adjacent to a forward end of said housing, wherein said power generator is positioned between said first and second handles, and said second handle being rotatable in a fore/aft manner;
• an adapter configured to be releasably attached to said first attachment mechanism of said power head, said adapter configured to receive said output power from said power generator;
• and
• a working attachment configured to be releasably attached alternately to said adapter and to said first attachment mechanism of said power head, wherein said working attachment is configured to receive said output source of power alternately from said power generator directly and transferred via said adapter from said power generator to said working attachment, wherein the adapter is configured to alternately attach to a first working attachment and a second working attachment, wherein the first working attachment is battery-powered, wherein the second working attachment is engine-powered, and
• wherein the adapter comprises a hollow extension member configured to provide movement to the second working attachment, and wherein the extension member comprises a conduit configured to conduct electrical power to the first working attachment.

A handheld lawn maintenance tool comprising:

• a power head including a housing, a power source releasably attached to a rear end of said housing, a power generator positioned within said housing and electrically connected to said power source for generating an output, said housing including a first handle positioned between said power source and said power generator, a second handle extending from a fixed pivot point on a lower portion of said housing adjacent to a forward end of said housing, a first attachment mechanism positioned longitudinally forward of said second handle, a trigger positioned adjacent to said first handle and operatively connected to said power generator for selectively controlling said output of said power generator, wherein said power generator is positioned between said first and second handles, and said second handle is rotatable in a fore/aft manner;
• a working attachment configured to be releasably attached alternately to said first attachment mechanism of said power head and to an adapter configured to be releasably attached to said first attachment mechanism of said power head, wherein said output of said power generator is transferred to said working attachment, and said working attachment being formed as a string trimmer, a blower, an edger, a tiller, a chainsaw, or a polesaw, wherein the adapter is configured to alternately attach to a first working attachment and a second working attachment, wherein the first working attachment is battery-powered, wherein the second working attachment is engine-powered, and wherein the adapter comprises an extension member configured to provide electrical power to the first working attachment and to provide movement to the second working attachment.
