摘要 A horizontal U shaped frame is provided with a first horizontal transversely extending axle adjacent the curved portion of the member and supporting wheel means. A second axle parallel to the first and spaced rearward from the first is connected to the first by belt drive means. A motor supported on a platform extending between the side bars of the frame, at the rear of the wheel means, drives the second axle to drive the first axle and produce motive power. The user guides the apparatus by holding the free ends of the member legs. Plow means, pivotally secured to a third parallel axle disposed rearward of the motor and loaded by a small portion of the motor''s weight, digs into the ground and provides plowing action as the member moves forward.
权利要求
1. Plow apparatus, comprising: a frame, including: two spaced, elongated side bars, having rearward free-ended handle portions, adapted to be grapsed by an operator of the apparatus; and a motor-supporting platform, between and rigidly connected to said side bars; a plow-supporting axle, forward of said handle portions, between and attached to said side bars; plow means pivotally mounted on said plow-supporting axle and in use extending downward into the ground; bearing means providing for pivotal movement of said plow means relatively to said frame; a wheel axle, forward of said platform, connected to said side bars and spanning the space between them; driving-wheel means on said wheel axle, comprising: a driving wheel having an egg-shaped periphery, cross-sectionally central portions of said periphery being aligned with said plow means; and soil-aerating studs, fixed to said periphery, at least part of said studs being located on side portions of said periphery, out of alignment with said plow means, adapted to slantingly enter and leave the soil; motor means; mounted on said platform; and power-transmission means, connected to said motor and to said wheel means, for transmitting power to the wheel means.
2. Plow apparatus as set forth in claim 1, in which: the said frame is U-shaped and rigid and includes a forward cross bar, between and rigidly connected to forward ends of said side bars; the part of each of said bars between its forward end and its handle portion is substantially straight; the said wheel axle is rotatably connected to said side bars; said driving-wheel means is rigidly attached to the wheel axle; said motor means is adjacent to and rearward of said wheel means; said power-transmission means is drivingly connected to and rotates said wheel means; the said plow-supporting axle is adjacent to said handle portions; and the distance between said last-named axle and said platform is greater than the distance between said wheel axle and the platform.
3. Apparatus as set forth in claim 1, in which said power-transmission means comprises: a rotary motor shaft; gearing means on said shaft; a second shaft, rotatably connected to said side bars and spanning the space between them; and gearing means on said second shaft, power-transmittingly connected to said motor shaft and to said wheel axle.
