Abstract

A thorn extractor apparatus has a frame, a roller, a screen that surrounds the roller, and a collection bin for receiving the thorny seeds. The frame includes a first and second side member, frame couplers, and a plurality of horizontal beams. The roller and screen work together to pick up and convey the thorny seeds to the collection bin to be discarded. The thorn extractor apparatus may feature a plurality of rollers coupled to a plurality of screens. The thorn extractor apparatus may also feature a vacuum, a kickstand, added weights, and a hitch mechanism configured to be pulled by a vehicle. Two or more frames may be coupled together in sequence to multiply the number of rollers clearing the ground of thorny seeds. The thorn extractor apparatus, in some examples, may feature an automatic drive system or be couplable to a vehicle.

Abstract

A weed cutting apparatus includes a handle coupled to a head at a distal end. The head has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is proximal to the handle and the second end is distal thereto. The second end is formed and sharpened to form a blade with a plurality of tines extending from the blade. Alternatively, a bladed member may be an aftermarket attachment coupled via channels to a medial end of a plurality of tines on a pitchfork. As a result, any weed or object that passes through the plurality of tines is cut by the blade. In some examples, the first end of the head may have other working features, such as grooves or apertures for uprooting the roots of a severed weed.
