LEG-OPERATED GARDEN TOOLS ABSTRACT Leg-operated garden tools comprise of various interchangeable tools attached essentially to the heel of a person' shoe. There are two distinct categories: 1.Tools operated just in the vertical direction, which use the user's weight to do the job. Simply walking across the ground to be cultivated, causes the tools to penetrate into the soil, carrying out different kinds of cultivation practices such as: coring, slicing, spiking and cutting of the turf, creation of bulb-sized planting holes or transplant holes, compression of the soil, etc. The user's weight may activate also some tools mechanisms e.g. that of hinged shears. 2. Tools operated in the horizontal and vertical direction. The user presses down and at the same time draws the tool either backward or forward. For soil cultivation there are: gap cleaner, all purpose rake, single plow, double plow, cultivator, shallow furrows maker and hoe. There is the possibility to use wheels to activate some tooling mechanisms e.g. rotary shears, or reciprocating shears. All these tools are interchangeable being attached to the tool attachment by a clamping system and to the heel of the shoe by various kinds of attachments which may use a clamping and safety device. The person may wear a conventional shoe or a shoe having secured inside the heel a clamped element of a clamping and safety device. The same tool can be used for different shoe sizes due to the adjustable attachment. In order to achieve the desired practice, various tools can be mounted on the same attachments and the same shoe. For the first category, some tools may be designed also for a heavy animal to be attached to its hoof.
