ABSTRACT:
A conventional hand-held weed trimmer of the type including a motor with a flexible cutting line fixed to the output of the motor is provided with a carriage for converting the trimmer into a wheel-mounted lawn mower. The lawn mower consists of a wheel-mounted, planar deck having an open interior portion for receiving the housing of the weed trimmer, and means for supporting the lower skirt portion and protective shield of the motor housing below the plane of the deck. The supporting means comprises means for clamping the rear portion of the skirt to the deck, and a toe-piece for supporting the front portion of the skirt. The deck, or at least the bottom flange of the toe-piece, is flexible enough to allow the forward portion of the trimmer to be tilted downwardly when a downward force is exerted on the trimmer housing. In a first embodiment of the invention, the deck of the carriage is essentially circular, with a key-shaped aperture formed therein. In a second embodiment, the deck comprises a frame made up of a plurality of bars.
