发明名称 Multi-function modular soil cavity creator tool
摘要 A multi-function service tool capable of creating numerous size cavities in the soil with the deployment of one or more various size cavity cutters attached to the tool t-handle. This modular flexibility concept allows service technicians of various industries and others to deploy a single configured tool, that contains specific attachments, to complete their various assigned service tasks.

主权项 1. An apparatus that is configurable to provide a number of specific soil cavity tools that are unique/required by a multitude of major industries. Industries like irrigation, pest control, landscaping, cemetery/burial and a number of others that have a need to create soil cavities as part of their service business. This tool is capable of creating a cavity in the soil of various dimensions that is determined by the length and diameter of the cutter assembly and leaving the surrounding service area clean. This is very different from the tools that are commonly used by those industries today. A handle having a T shape, a pin slot for locking the stabilizer sleeve unit and contains a male oriented thread on opposite end. A stabilizer sleeve assembly that locks the handle to the various cutter assemblies that prevent the over tightening of the threaded couplers during the rotation and cutting actions of the cutters. Sleeve prevents any twisting/deforming of the handle assembly joints by locking side motion of the handle assemble. The stabilizer is attached to the shaft assembly through the use of a pin inserted horizontally through the sleeve and handle. A female oriented threaded coupler assembly located on each cavity cutter top plate that attaches to the threaded male coupler on the t-handle or the male connector located within the upper target cutter. This threading action locks the cutter to the specific configured tool desired components. The cutter coupler opposite end extents downward and internal to the cutter housing and is of a male persuasion that will be the attachment coupler for any lower added in a stacked configuration. A cavity cutter assembly that will be attached to the t-handle male threads to its female receptor coupler assembly and be attached to the sleeve assembly through the insertion of connector pins in the top plate assembly receptor holes. A steel body of possible different sizes that will contain aggressive cutter teeth blades that are heat treated for lasting strength, body contains staggered easy soil clean out slots that allow a flat blade object to be inserted to assist in soil removal. A group of special designed steel blades attached/welded to the top plates underside and cutter body assembly and angled at 90* degrees. These cut & elevate blades will slice the soil at the top of the cavity to form a platform surface to allow the sprinkler protector and termite bait stations to rest at ground level as required to accommodate the sprinkler head protectors that are used to prevent damage as the result of lawn equipment such as lawnmowers hitting the head assembly.
