ABSTRACT:
An aquatic-weed removing machine is provided with a paddle wheel equipped with a hinged plate connected to the peripheral edge of each paddle in a manner such that as the wheel rotates, individual plates pivot from an inward folded position at the edge of the paddles to a radially extended one, falling downward by gravity as the wheel sequentially places the paddles in the lower forward quandrant of their cycle. By a combination of centrifugal force and weight, the plates are thrown into pressing contact with the top of an underlying, tangentially moving conveyor belt upon which uncut weeds are laid by forward motion of the machine in the water, causing the weeds to be tightly held on the belt and to be pulled out by the roots as both the belt and the machine continue in their directions of motion.
