Description

 The present invention relates to a small bench on casters for gardening or tinkering in a sitting position.

 Gardening and DIY are, in our society either by necessity or by pleasure, very widespread activities. However, bending over to paint ...

sowing or harvesting creates or maintains spinal pain.

 The object of the invention makes it possible, for example, to garden seated either by advancing in a frontal manner, passing in bridge above the rows of vegetables or by advancing in a lateral manner for the harvest of blackcurrants, raspberries. .etc ...

 An extension of the invention is to use it as a stepladder to harvest high fruits: apples, cherries to trim hedges, to repaint a ceiling. The great stability of the invention allows this kind of use. In addition, a device can lock the rollers to prevent slipping.

 The small bench on casters has a height calculated to pass over most vegetables acclimatized in our regions. The spacing of the rollers has been calculated to be able to move between the rows without damaging the plants. In any case, the use of the small bench during sowing will give the measurement of the spacing.

 In use in sticky terrain or in wet weather, scrapers fixed above the rollers, on the vertical uprights, make it possible to remove the latter. Anyway; it is not conceivable to garden in bad weather.

 A locker attached to the back of the device allows you to harvest one or more rows without having to go to the end of the row, once your hands are full. The locker is easily removable.

 The object of the invention is illustrated by the following description given with reference to figures let 2.

 The device comprises a plate (3) resting on four feet (1). A caster (2) is attached to each leg. Above each caster, welded to the upright, a metal piece (5) serves as a scraper to remove the dirt which could stick to the caster. A stopper (6) is attached to one of the casters, preventing the device from slipping when used at height. A ring (4) is attached to each upright for storing small tools (brush, hoe, dibbler). At the rear of the device, a removable locker (7) can be added, to store the crop or put it away, by example a can of paint.

 The small bench on casters must allow the gardener or the handyman to continue his activity whether on the ground at mid-height or in height without suffering from his back.
