Benefits of technology

[0011] Another advantage of the present invention is that one size auger is utilized for several diameters of holes by the interchanging of the cutting plate on the end of the auger.
[0012] Yet another advantage of the present invention is that a single connector holds the shaped plate and centering bit to the shaft.
[0013] Still yet another advantage of the present invention is that it is very efficient and can be driven by a battery operated drive apparatus.

Problems solved by technology

Fishing in winter time can be rather arduous and requires making a hole through the ice in order to use the baited hook to attract fish thereto.

Embodiment Construction

[0026] Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1-3, there is shown an ice cutting apparatus 10 including a drive unit 12 and a cutter unit 14. Drive unit 12 includes handles 16, batteries 18, a motor 20, a gear housing 22 and a shaft 24. Handles 16 are oriented so that the user can easily lift and operate ice cutting apparatus 10 and to prevent the rotation of drive unit 12 so as to allow drive unit 12 to rotate shaft 24 for the driving of cutter unit 14. Batteries 12 are oriented to balance the weight of motor 20 on alternate sides of shaft 24. Advantageously, the placing of batteries 18 and motor 20 balance the weight that is supported by way of shaft 24 when ice cutting apparatus 10 is in operation. Gear housing 22 encloses a gear, not shown, that is driven from motor 20 and is attached to shaft 24.

[0027] Shaft 24 includes a groove 26, O-rings 28 and a hole 30. Groove 26 interacts with a roll pin located in shaft 32 of cutter unit 14. O-rings 28 are situate...
