Lawn Stickerweed Bur Collection Apparatus

摘要

The improved bur collection apparatus includes a primary roller member that may be pushed using an attached handle or pulled using an attached tow bar. The roller member includes an outer surface to which stickerweed burs removably attach during the bur collection process. A brushing member in contact with the outer surface imparts friction upon the outer covering to remove attached burs as the roller rotates. The ejected burs are captured in a detachable bur container for ease of disposal without direct contact with the burs. The outer surface of the roller member and the brushing member are replaceable when worn. The brushing member may be driven directly from the roller motion, or may be driven from a powered motive means. The container may be removably attached to the device frame, or may be towed closely therebehind. The apparatus may be manually operated or may be self-propelled.
