Abstract

A plant sawing assembly for removing plants around a sprinkler head includes a hole saw that may be positioned around a sprinkler head to remove plants growing around the sprinkler head. A receiver extends upwardly from the hole saw and a shaft is removably positioned in the receiver. The shaft is coupled to a power tool thereby facilitating the power tool to spin the hole saw to cut the plants.

Claims (16)

1. A plant sawing assembly being configured to remove plants from around a sprinkler head, said assembly comprising:

a hole saw being configured to be positioned around a sprinkler head thereby facilitating said hole saw to remove plants growing around the sprinkler head, said hole saw has a top wall and an outer wall extending downwardly therefrom, said outer wall being continuous such that said hole saw has a cylindrical shape, said outer wall having a distal edge with respect to said top wall, said distal edge having a plurality of indentations extending toward said top wall, said indentations being spaced apart from each other and being distributed around said distal edge to define a plurality of teeth on said distal edge wherein said teeth are configured to cut the plants;

a receiver extending upwardly from said hole saw, said receiver being centrally positioned on said top wall, said receiver having a distal end with respect to said top wall and an outer surface, said distal end having a well extending toward said top wall of said hole saw, said well having a bounding surface, said bounding surface having a first side and a second side, said first side is concavely arcuate with respect to said second side, said second side being flattened such that said well has a semicircular shape; and

a shaft being removably positioned in said receiver, said shaft being configured to be coupled to a power tool thereby facilitating the power tool to spin said hole saw to cut the plants.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said outer wall has a pair of openings extending through said outer wall, each of said openings being positioned between said top wall and said distal edge, each of said openings being positioned on opposite sides of said hole saw with respect to each other.

3. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said outer surface has a first aperture extending into said well.

4. The assembly according to claim 3 , wherein said outer surface has a second aperture extending into said well, said first aperture being aligned with said second aperture.

5. The assembly according to claim 4 , wherein said shaft has a first end and a second end, said shaft being elongated between said first end and said second end, said shaft having a first surface extending upwardly from said first end, said first surface of said shaft being flattened such that said first end of said shaft has a semicircular cross-section taken along a line extending through said first end and said second end.

6. The assembly according to claim 5 , wherein said well insertably receives said first end of said shaft having said first surface of said shaft engaging said second side of said bounding surface of said well such that said shaft is inhibited from spinning in said well.

7. The assembly according to claim 6 , wherein said shaft has third aperture extending therethrough, said third aperture being positioned on said first surface of said shaft such that said third aperture is aligned with each of said first aperture and said second aperture when said shaft is positioned in said receiver.

8. The assembly according to claim 7 , further comprising a fastener being selectively extended through said first aperture, said second aperture and said third aperture when said shaft is positioned in said receiver thereby retaining said shaft and said receiver.

9. A plant sawing assembly being configured to remove plants from around a sprinkler head, said assembly comprising:

a hole saw being configured to be positioned around a sprinkler head thereby facilitating said hole saw to remove plants growing around the sprinkler head, said hole saw having a top wall and an outer wall extending downwardly therefrom, said outer wall being continuous such that said hole saw has a cylindrical shape, said outer wall having a distal edge with respect to said top wall, said distal edge having a plurality of indentations extending toward said top wall, said indentations being spaced apart from each other and being distributed around said distal edge to define a plurality of teeth on said distal edge wherein said teeth are configured to cut the plants, said outer wall having a pair of openings extending through said outer wall, each of said openings being positioned between said top wall and said distal edge, each of said openings being positioned on opposite sides of said hole saw with respect to each other;

a receiver extending upwardly from said hole saw, said receiver being centrally positioned on said top wall, said receiver having a distal end with respect to said top wall and an outer surface, said distal end having a well extending toward said top wall of said hole saw, said well having a bounding surface, said bounding surface having a first side and a second side, said first side being concavely arcuate with respect to said second side, said second side being flattened such that said well has a semicircular shape, said outer surface having a first aperture extending into said well, said outer surface having a second aperture extending into said well, said first aperture being aligned with said second aperture;

a shaft being removably positioned in said receiver, said shaft being configured to be coupled to a power tool thereby facilitating the power tool to spin said hole saw to cut the plants, said shaft having a first end and a second end, said shaft being elongated between said first end and said second end, said shaft having a first surface extending upwardly from said first end, said first surface of said shaft being flattened such that said first end of said shaft has a semicircular cross-section taken along a line extending through said first end and said second end, said well insertably receiving said first end of said shaft having said first surface of said shaft engaging said second side of said bounding surface of said well such that said shaft is inhibited from spinning in said well, said shaft having third aperture extending therethrough, said third aperture being positioned on said first surface of said shaft such that said third aperture is aligned with each of said first aperture and said second aperture when said shaft is positioned in said receiver; and

a fastener being selectively extended through said first aperture, said second aperture and said third aperture when said shaft is positioned in said receiver thereby retaining said shaft and said receiver.
