Accurate lightweight manual lawn and garden weed chipper

Abstract

An improved accurate lightweight manual tool to cut suburban lawn and garden weeds efficiently and with little time and effort expended. It is like a miniature hoe half a man's height in length with a very thin very narrow blade, in length four to five times its width (FIG. 5). The chipper's light weight is achieved with a very lightweight conduit handle of any section joined at right angles by a secret joint to a backing plate for the blade and weighted with billet to increase and change the power for weight. A thin shock absorber is bolted between plate and blade by. The secret joint uses a steel billet driven through the metal plate into the conduit handle thereby expanding the handle against the metal collar and plate which has a self-centering protrusion fitting into a recess in the collar. The permanent right angle secret locking joint uses totally prefinished components.
