Abstract
Systems for aerating soil are provided. In this regard, a representative system includes: a plurality of aerating members, each of the aerating members having circumferential ends, longitudinal end portions, an aerating portion and aerating stud members, the end portions of the aerating members being angled with respect to the aerating portion; and a plurality of aerating stud members extending from the aerating portion of the aerating members; the aerating members being configured such that a circumferential end of a first of the aerating members attaches to a corresponding circumferential end of an adjacent one of the aerating members.
Claims20
A system for aerating soil comprising:
- a plurality of aerating members, each of the aerating members having:
- two opposing end portions and an aerating portion,
- the end portions of the aerating members being angled with respect to the aerating portion, at least a first of the end portions being adjustable with respect to the aerating member such that an effective width between the end portions is changeable;
- a plurality of linking members, each of the linking members having two opposing end portions;
- an end portion of a first of the linking members, an end portion of a second of the linking members and an end portion of a first of the aerating members being aligned and moveably coupled with a first fastener such that an alternating series of the linking members and the aerating members are operative to form a loop for attaching to a tire;
- and
- a plurality of aerating stud members extending from the aerating portion of the aerating members.
An aerating system comprising:
- a lawnmower having a plurality of wheels, each of the wheels having a tread surface and side wall surfaces;
- an aerating apparatus engaging one of the plurality of wheels;
- the aerating apparatus comprising a plurality of aerating members, each aerating member having end portions, an inner surface and an outer surface;
- the inner surfaces in contact with the tread surfaces, the end portions in contact with the side wall surfaces, at least one of the end portions of each of the aerating members being adjustable such that a width between corresponding end portions is alterable to accommodate different widths of wheels;
- a plurality of first and second linking members, each of the linking members having two opposing end portions;
- an end portion of a first linking member, an end portion of a second linking member and an end portion of a first of the aerating members being aligned and moveably coupled with fasteners;
- and
- a plurality of stud members attached to the outer surface of the aerating members.
A system for aerating soil comprising:
- a plurality of aerating members, each of the aerating members having circumferential ends, longitudinal end portions, an aerating portion and aerating stud members, the end portions of the aerating members being angled with respect to the aerating portion;
- and
- a plurality of aerating stud members extending from the aerating portion of the aerating members;
- the aerating members being configured such that a circumferential end of a first of the aerating members attaches to a corresponding circumferential end of an adjacent one of the aerating members.
