Abstract
A strap-on aerator wheel comprises two or more curved pieces having metal spikes protruding outwardly from an outside surface, a first strap end fixed to a first end of a first curved piece and a second strap end fixed to a second end of a last curved piece, a linking mechanism joining each second end of a curved piece to a first end of a next curved piece not already fixed to a first or second strap end wherein when the first and second strap ends are joined, the two or more curved pieces form a circular shape and wherein each linking mechanism is configured to be adjusted to conform to the diameter of the wheel wherein the circular shape is held onto the wheel and wherein the metal spikes are configured to aerate a lawn as the wheel is moved over the lawn.
Claims20
An aerator attachment configured to fit over a tire, comprising:
- two or more elongated curved plastic pieces having spikes protruding outwardly from an outside surface thereof;
- a plurality of protrusions on an inside surface of each of said curved plastic pieces wherein said protrusions fit between treads of said tire so that said aerator attachment does not slip off of said wheel;
- a first strap end fixed to a first short end of a first curved plastic piece and a second strap end fixed to a second short end of a last curved plastic piece;
- a linking mechanism joining each second short end of a curved plastic piece to a first short end of a next curved plastic piece not already fixed to said first or second strap end wherein when said first strap end is fastened to said second strap end by an adjustable clasp, said two or more curved plastic pieces form a circular shape and wherein each said linking mechanism is configured to be adjusted to conform to a circumference of said tire wherein an inside surface of said circular shape is held onto said treads of said tire, wherein said two or more curved plastic pieces substantially cover said circumference of said wheel, and wherein said spikes are spiked to aerate a lawn by poking holes into said lawn as said wheel is moved over said lawn.
An aerator attachment configured to fit over a tire, comprising:
- an elongated flexible plastic piece having spikes protruding outwardly from an outside surface thereof;
- and
- a first strap end fixed to a first short end of said flexible plastic piece and a second strap end fixed to a second short end of said flexible plastic piece wherein when said first strap end is fastened to said second strap end by an adjustable clasp, said flexible plastic piece forms a circular shape conformed to a circumference of said tire wherein an inside surface of said circular shape is held onto all treads of said tire, wherein said flexible plastic piece substantially covers said circumference of said tire, and wherein said spikes are spiked to aerate a lawn by poking holes into said lawn as said wheel is moved over said lawn.
