TOOL FOR MANUAL WEEDING OF CULTIVATED PLANTS AND FOR MODERATE SOIL CULTIVATION IN INDIVIDUAL FARMS, CAPABLE OF PERFORMING FUNCTION OF MINI RAKE AND MINI FORK Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A01B1/16 A01M21/02 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: devices designed for manual weeding of cultivated plants and for moderate soil cultivation in individual farms within a few roots, part of a bed, capable of performing the function of a mini rake and mini fork for collecting extracted weeds into a heap, collecting heaps and moving heaps. The tool consists of a device - a rotary weeder containing a shank. Perpendicular to the shank a metal rotor disk is located as complete unit with the shank; on the side opposite to the shank, there are 5 threaded sockets on the periphery of the rotor, located at equal distances. From 3 to 5 weeding pins can be screwed into these rotor sockets, having engaging elements at the end, which can have different shapes and the purpose of which, when rotating the rotary weeder immersed in the soil, is to engage the roots of weeds in order to remove the weeds from the soil. Unused threaded sockets are sealed with rubber-lined plugs to protect the pin threads and rotor threads from moisture and soil. All weeding pins are also screwed in with a rubber gasket. To quickly change weeding pins, the tool can be made in the form of a rotor base, integral with the shank, and a set of replaceable rotors with other sets of weeding pins screwed in advance. The required replacement rotor with a different set of weeding pins can be easily screwed onto the rotor base.

EFFECT: increasing labor efficiency during manual weeding of cultivated plants from weeds, facilitating moderate soil cultivation in individual farms, ensuring the collection of extracted weeds into heaps, and the movement of such heaps.
