ABSTRACT:
On golf courses it is common practice for the golf club to provide carts for the golfers who wish to use them to go from one golfer's stroke to the next. When tournaments are held large crowds walk along one side of the golf course fairways of the course to observe the various strokes taken by the golfers who are participants in the tournament. To provide walkways for the tournament observers, and for the golfers who use carts many courses have walkways for the carts and for the guests and observers watching the tournaments. These walkways are generally formed of asphalt, which is easy for golfers who have spiked shoes to walk on. To present a neat, well kept appearance it is necessary to keep the grass trimmed to the edges of these walkways. This is a time consuming and laborious job that must be done by experienced and skilled workers. I have devised a Gravity Actuated Edger having a large diametered sharpened disk wheel to roll along on the walkway about an inch or so from the edge of the asphalt walkway to cut the grass that encroaches onto the walk ways. To pull the loose grass from behind the cutting blade, I have found that a vertically mounted revolving round brush, preferably made of wire, positioned closely in back of the cutting disk is very effective in pulling the loose grass from in back of the cutting blade. A neat appearance of the cart path is thus insured. This improved Edger is also excellent for edging bicycle riding paths.
