A weed guard that prevents weeds from growing along fences, buildings and other structures. The weed guard may be secured to the bottom of a fence, to vertically oriented structures, such as buildings or walls, or to horizontally oriented structures, such as sidewalks and driveways. The fence protecting weed guard has a plurality of linear guard links. The weed guard also has a plurality of post securing slots that secure adjacent linear guard links to one another while they are positioned aroun...

A weed puller for gathering weeds at the interstices between the weed foliage above the ground and the weed root below the ground includes a handle for being held by a standing operator at one end and supporting a body at the bottom distal end. The body defines two blunted prongs on either side of a central axis on the body extending away from the attachment to the handle through the body. The two prongs define therebetween a V-shaped gathering gap with blunted opposed V-shaped edges on either s...

A weed puller that comprises a plurality of prongs positioned about an axis, an anvil plate, and a moveable mass adapted to be driven into the anvil plate so as to transmit a force through the anvil plate to the prongs where the force has a substantial component in line with the axis about which the plurality of prongs are positioned. In a preferred embodiment, the weed puller comprises a body having a cavity that terminates at the anvil plate with the moveable mass slideably positioned within t...

A tool for cutting weed roots below the ground surface, having a shank, a cutting edge extending transversely of the shank, the latter being formed of sheet metal and having an inverted U-shaped cross section. A handle is provided which terminates in a resilient knob for added comfort when using the tool.

A weed cutter (10) having a protective housing (32) with an air impeller (28), an air diverter (50) and a motor driven rotary cutter element (12, 14, 16, 18). The air impeller creates a vacuum to effectively pull weeds into an inlet opening (42) in the protective housing prior to contact with the cutter element and exhausting the debris through an exhaust outlet (46).

A weed burner adapted for ground traversing movement in a predetermined forward direction of travel along the berm of a tree line in an orchard or the like providing a housing disposed in predetermined elevationally spaced relation to the ground forming a combustion chamber between the housing and the ground and having ignition means borne by the housing adjacent to the combustion chamber and blower means connected to the housing for producing a relatively high velocity airstream above the combu...

A weed puller having a shank projecting from a handle and carrying two laterally turned prongs between which a weed is received, with the prongs having opposed weed contacting surfaces with first entrance throat portions which converge relatively rapidly toward one another to the location of inner portions of those surfaces which extend more parallel to one another and define a compression compartment within which the weed can be frictionally retained for removal from the earth by the tool.

A weed puller of telescopic tubes, the outer tube having one end engageable with a ground surface for surrounding a weed, the inner tube being held retracted and an ejector resiliently held retracted and releasable to eject the weed.

A weeding implement has an elongate handle and an attachment at one end of the handle, the attachment comprising a straight shank inserted into one end of the handle, a straight portion extending at an angle from the straight shank, a straight transverse portion extending across the longitudinal axis of the shank, a curved intermediate portion connecting the straight portion to one end of the transverse portion at one side of the axis and a flat end portion offset from the axis at an opposite si...

A weed pulling device which is of a simple and rugged construction and yet which can be manipulated readily and with little effort to remove a plant in the earth.
