Abstract
A weed removal tool for removing dandelions and other weeds without creating hazardous divots in the ground, without spreading seeds, and without the use of chemicals includes a handle that is elongated along a longitudinal axis and a tool head coupled to and extending away from the handle in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. The tool head has a blade section extending from a back end to a front edge and a pair of lateral edges extending from the back end to the front edge. The lateral edges are coplanar with each other. The blade section has a notch in the front edge.
Claims14
A weed removal tool comprising:
- a handle being elongated along a longitudinal axis;
- and
- a tool head coupled to and extending away from said handle in a direction parallel to said longitudinal axis, said tool head having a blade section,
- wherein said blade section extends from a back end to a front edge, said blade section having a pair of lateral edges extending from said back end to said front edge, said lateral edges being coplanar with each other,
- wherein said blade section has a notch in said front edge.
The device of claim 10, wherein each said linear edge has a length between 3.7 centimeters and 3.9 centimeters.
The device of claim 10, wherein said curved edge has a radius between 0.1 centimeters and 0.2 centimeters, said curved edge being configured to fit around a dandelion stem.
A weed removal tool comprising:
- a cylindrical handle being elongated along a longitudinal axis, said handle having a diameter between 3.0 and 4.0 centimeters and a length between 71.0 centimeters and 89.0 centimeters;
- a tool head including an attachment section, an extension section, and a blade section,
- wherein said attachment section is coupled to said handle and has a length from a first end of said attachment section to a second end of said attachment section between 8.0 and 9.0 centimeters, said attachment section having an inner surface abutting a lateral surface of said handle, wherein a portion of said attachment section extends past an end of said handle in a direction parallel to said longitudinal axis,
- wherein said extension section extends from said attachment section in a direction parallel to said longitudinal axis at a length between 2.0 and 3.0 centimeters, said extension section having a width between 7.0 and 8.0 centimeters,
- wherein said blade section extends along a central axis that is perpendicular to said longitudinal axis from said extension section to a front edge of said blade section at a length between 6.0 and 7.0 centimeters, said blade section having a pair of lateral edges extending from said extension section to said front edge, said lateral edges being coplanar with each other,
- wherein said blade section has a pair of linear edges and a curved edge defining a notch, each said linear edge extending from said curved edge to said front edge, each said linear edge having a length between 3.7 centimeters and 3.9 centimeters, said curved edge having a center point along said central axis and having a radius between 0.1 centimeters and 0.2 centimeters, said curved edge being configured to fit around a dandelion stem,
- wherein said front edge has a pair of angled portions, each angled portion extending from an associated one of said pair of linear edges away from said central axis to an associated one of said pair of lateral edges, wherein a plane lies orthogonal to said longitudinal axis and coplanar with said linear edges, wherein each said angled portion extends from each said associated one of said pair of linear edges to said associated one of said pair of lateral edges at a 20.0-degree angle from said plane toward said handle;
- and
- a plurality of screws, each said screw extending through said attachment section of said tool head and through said lateral surface of said handle, said plurality of screws securing said tool head to said handle.
