Abstract
A method of stacking dethatchers includes pivoting an upper portion of a handle on a first dethatcher toward a front end of a frame on the first dethatcher, upon pivoting the upper portion of the handle toward the front end of the frame, exposing a rear support point defined by a lower portion of the handle, and stacking a second dethatcher on the first dethatcher so that the second dethatcher is supported on the rear support point defined by the lower portion of the handle and a front support point defined by the upper portion of the handle.
Claims18
A method of stacking dethatchers, comprising:
- positioning a first dethatcher, the first dethatcher comprising a handle, wherein the handle defines support points comprising a first support point arranged at a forward portion of the handle and a second support point arranged at a rearward portion of the handle;
- pivoting the handle of the first dethatcher into a storage position;
- and
- stacking a second dethatcher on the first dethatcher, wherein stacking the second dethatcher on the first dethatcher comprises supporting the second dethatcher on the support points on the handle of the first dethatcher.
A method of stacking dethatchers, comprising:
- pivoting an upper portion of a handle on a first dethatcher toward a front end of a frame on the first dethatcher;
- upon pivoting the upper portion of the handle toward the front end of the frame, exposing a rear support point defined by a lower portion of the handle;
- and
- stacking a second dethatcher on the first dethatcher so that the second dethatcher is supported on the rear support point defined by the lower portion of the handle and a front support point defined by the upper portion of the handle.
A dethatcher assembly, comprising:
- a first dethatcher, including:
- a first frame;
- and
- a first handle coupled to the first frame, wherein the first handle includes a first upper portion pivotably coupled to a first lower portion so that the first upper portion is configured to pivot between a use position and a storage position;
- and
- a second dethatcher, comprising:
- a second frame;
- and
- a second handle coupled to the second frame;
- wherein when the first upper portion is in the storage position, the second dethatcher is configured to stack upon the first dethatcher so that the second dethatcher is supported on the first handle of the first dethatcher.
