Abstract

The invention relates to a hand tool or power tool device for cultivating the ground and soil, such as a hoe or hoeing tool, scraper, or the like, essentially comprising a working tool that is releasably or permanently mounted at the front end of a handle or the like which optionally has one or more specific holding zones or grips. The working tool is essentially composed of a bent integral or welded multipart metal strip to form a U-shaped lower section (6), at least part of which is used for cutting, and a shaped upper section to be mounted at the front end (3′) of the handle (3). The strip section extends between the legs of the U-shaped section (6), forms the core of the U, and has a serrated profile including teeth on the opposite longitudinal edges thereof, said teeth being preferably staggered. The device (1) is characterized in that said strip section is sharp at the two opposite longitudinal edges thereof.

Dependent claims

Hand-operated or motor-driven ground and soil cultivation tool device, such as a hoe, hoeing tool, scraper or the like, essentially comprising a work tool that is mounted, in a removable way or not, at the front end of a handle or the like, equipped or not with one or more specific gripping zones or handles,

said work tool (2) being essentially composed of a metal band (5), all in one piece and bent or assembled by welding several parts, to constitute a U-shaped lower part (6), at least partially sharp, and an upper part (7) shaped for mounting on the front end (3′) of the handle (3),
device characterized in that the band portion (8) that extends between the branches (9) of the U-shaped part (6) and that forms the base of the latter comprises a jagged profile with teeth (11) at its two opposite longitudinal edges (10), preferentially arranged in staggered rows, and in that said band portion (8) is sharp at its two opposite longitudinal edges (10), particularly at the level of the cutting teeth (11).
