Abstract

A two wheeled carriage for converting a string trimmer to a wheeled appliance. The carriage has an axle, two nine inch or greater wheels, and a clamp for retaining the string trimmer's shaft. A swivel joint enables the clamp to adjust angular orientation of the appliance relative to the carriage. A latch locks the swivel joint in one of several angular orientations. The clamp includes an adjustable, flexible grasping element for engaging shafts of different dimensions and configurations. A lever operated over-center arrangement closes the grasping element over the appliance shaft. The clamp optionally includes saddles for securing that shaft in a fixed perpendicular and non-intersecting angular relationship to the axle. An adjuster varies deviation of that shaft from the horizontal. The adjustment mechanism may be located either between the axle and the swivel joint or alternatively between the swivel joint and the clamp.
