Abstract
The invention relates to a device for removing plants or the like from the ground. The device comprises an elongated shaft, a ground support pivoted to a first end of the shaft transversely in relation to the longitudinal axis thereof and at least two blades including grip ends forming an extension of the shaft. The device is characterized in that the blades are pivoted in respect of the ground support transversely in relation to the longitudinal axis of the shaft and functionally connected together such that turning the shaft and the ground support in respect of each other causes the grip ends of the blades to move towards one another, thus enabling to grip the plant.
Claims6
A device for removing plants from the ground, the device comprising:
- an elongated shaft having a first end and a second end;
- the elongated shaft including a fixed blade extending from the first end, the fixed blade having a gap formed therein;
- a ground support pivotally connected to the elongated shaft;
- at least two pivot blades pivotally connected to the ground support;
- the pivot blades each having a tooth cooperating with the gap in the fixed blade to form a gear connection operable to move a grip end of the blades toward one another when the second end of the elongated shaft is moved relative to the ground support.
