Trencher

Abstract

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.
