Abstract

A manually operated implement for performing a variety of tasks when equipped with a removable and replaceable utility device, includes a wheeled chassis having an elongate, longitudinal, chassis structural member extending forwardly and rearwardly in the implement centrally of the width thereof and a transverse chassis structural member rigidly attached to the rearward end of said longitudinal chassis member. A pair of wheels are rotatably mounted at opposite ends, respectively, of the transverse chassis member. A slide member is mounted for sliding movement on the longitudinal chassis member and includes a clamping screw for clamping the slide in an adjusted position along such member. Handle structure, preferably of V-shape, is pivotally secured to the slide member and slopes upwardly and rearwardly with its upper, rearward end bifurcated to provide transversely spaced hand grips. A pair of crossed, elongate structural member sloping upwardly, from pivotal securement, respectively, at their lower forward ends to opposite ends of the wheel-mounting transverse chassis member, to pivotal securement, respectively, at their upper rearward ends to the handle structure intermediate its length, provides reinforcing for the handle structure. The height of the handle may be adjusted by adjusting the position of the slide. A variety of utility devices, such as a snow plow, scraper, weeder, etc., may be removably secured to the front of the longitudinal chassis member and provisions may be made to removably secure a variety of utility devices, such as a cultivator, rake, weeder, etc. to the implement behind the wheels.
