Trencher
The present invention is directed generally to trenching devices, and more particularly to a trenching device optimized for basement water proofing and other application where it may be preferable to trench near and along a vertical surface. The trenching device has been designed for ease of portability and commercial shipping.
1 . A trencher device comprising:
a digging bar to excavate material;
a motor to activate the digging bar;
tires to facilitate relocating the trencher device;
a braking assembly to immobilize the device while excavating material; and
an auger to displace the excavated material laterally.
2 . The device of claim 1 wherein the digging bar to excavate material is offset laterally from the trencher device.
3 . The device of claim 1 wherein immobilizing the device includes a disc brake assembly in mechanical communication with the tires rotors.
4 . The device of claim 1 wherein immobilizing the device includes a mechanical brake assembly in mechanical communication with the tires rotors.
5 . The device of claim 2 wherein the same digging bar can be relocated to either side of the trencher device.
6 . The device of claim 1 wherein an exchangeable right-side and left-side auger device is compatible with the same digging bar.
7 . The device of claim 1 wherein the motor can be activated by a 220 volt alternating current supply.
