     The Walter Patent discloses a cornice tool and shows a plasterer&#39;s molding plate which is handheld and which has various designs on the edge of the plate. This inventions was a handheld invention which was used for plastering. 
     The Benninghofen Patent discloses a trowel which creates a rounded bullet-nosed side. Further, referring to  FIG. 4 , the patent states “For different purposes the smoothing surfaces may be formed with a diversity of ribs and grooves, as desired, one modified form of construction being shown in  FIG. 4 , wherein the combination of a rib  20  with a flange  9  forms a semicircular groove  21  . . . .” Therefore, this patent discloses a single rounded shape formed into an edge of a cement pavement. 
     The Ferguson Patent discloses a trowel which relates to plastering tools and more particularly, to a trowel where a suitable design of plastic cornices or moldings may be readily and uniformly made on the walls and ceilings of a room. 
     The Johnson Patent discloses a trowel which is used for forming grooves or curved corners on cement floors as well as finishing walls and buildings. In this case, the design shows that the trowel has a rounded surface so that it can create a rounded form for a concave shape on the cement border or any other portion of the cement surface. This again has only one rounded design. 
     The Busch Patent discloses a trowel and also shows the concept of having a handle so that the trowel can be pulled or pushed. As illustrated in  FIG. 3 , it shows the concept of having a rounded end or bullet-nosed end on the concrete. It also shows in  FIG. 4  having various shapes but they are all one rounded shape. 
     The Baker Patent is a patent discloses a mason&#39;s trowel which is handheld. It is relevant because it shows a multiplicity of different shapes, round and primarily squared, in  FIGS. 3 ,  4 ,  5 ,  6  and  7 . However, it discloses no way to properly align the trowel with an edge of the poured concrete and no way to properly form an aligned series of novel multi-rounded shapes. This is primarily more of a mason&#39;s tools for walls and related types of structures. 
     The Hitzman Patent discloses a mortar spreader for spreading a shape onto a block  1  as best illustrated in  FIGS. 3 through 6 . The shape of the mortar itself has two rounded ends which are designed to form rounded edges on the block as illustrated in  FIG. 5 . In this way this spreads mortar into a rounded shape but it does not discloses a multiplicity of rounded shapes. 
     The Sanford Patent discloses an edger which is a form of trowel to finish cement work, with the edge attached to a pole. 
     The Cinotti Patent discloses a concrete edger and finishing tool. The object of this invention is to create a concrete edger in which the relative positioning of the parts, particularly of the handle and the blade, may be readily changed. The device is used only for flattening the concrete where the orientation of the handle  57  can be modified at different angles. 
     The Rawley Patent discloses a handheld forming tool for finishing both curved and flat surfaces. 
     The Perry Patent is a hand tool for finishing corners and the like. As disclosed in  FIG. 9 , the tool has a rounded member for putting a single rounded shape on corners of a structural area. 
     The Cotugno Patent discloses a concrete slab surface finishing tool which is provided with a combination flat floor surface working area, a lip offset surface working area joined to the flat floor surface working area, a flat lip surface working area joined to lip offset working area, and an edge surface working area joined to the flat lip surface working area. The tool has the ability to form one rounded edge at the bottom. 
     The Neece Patent is a design patent which protects the design of a particular concrete trowel. 
     The &#39;634 DeVitis Patent is a hand tool which has a portion for showing how to make a rounded edge but this is just one bullet-nosed edge on the concrete. 
     The &#39;634 DeVitis Patent discloses a hand tool for forming the interior edge of a cementitious surface. Once again, this is shown for the rounding features  8  and  6  of the tool. However, this once again is just one rounded portion. 
     The Charland Patent discloses a design patent for a fire house section hauler which has a rounded member for hauling a fire hose. 
     Finally, the Williams Patent is a circular edging tool for concrete. This patent is designed to have a circular concrete edge so that it can form the interior circle of a manhole frame. 
     None of the prior art patents disclose an apparatus to efficiently and effectively form a multiplicity of various rounded shapes into an edge of poured concrete. Further, none of the prior art patents disclose an apparatus to efficiently and effectively form a multiplicity of various rounded shapes into a surface of poured concrete in order to create a continuous design over the freshly poured concrete surface. There is a significant need for such an apparatus. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention is a novel tool which enables a mason or concrete worker to form very beautiful decorative designs into the edge of poured concrete which is used for a driveway, walkway, border of a planter, or other concrete structure having at least a partially flat surface and at least one side edge where the decorative design is formed. Through use of the present invention, any one of a multiplicity of multi-arcuate designs are formed into at least one side edge or outside edge or inside edge of a poured concrete slab to thereby significant beautify a driveway, walkway, planter border, or any other poured concrete structure. 
     The present invention is also a novel tool which enables a mason or concrete worker to form very beautiful, contiguous, decorative designs into the surface of freshly poured concrete which is used for a driveway, walkway, border of a planter, or other concrete structure where the continuous decorative design is formed. Through use of the present invention, any one of a multiplicity of multi-arcuate designs are formed into the surface of freshly poured concrete in order to further extend the pattern of at least one side edge or outside edge or inside edge or over a continuous portion of the surface of a poured concrete slab to thereby create a continuous design over all or a substantial portion of a driveway, walkway, planter border, or any other poured concrete structure. 
     It has been discovered, according to the present invention, that if a trowel is formed with a traverse lip which is intended to abut a frame border of a poured concrete structure and thereafter the trowel has a multiplicity of unique arcuate forms therein which extend to a flat surface structure at the uppermost part of the trowel, and the trowel has a receiving member for receiving a pole or handle formed into a location where the multi-rounded forms are located, then the trowel can be used to form beautiful arcuate designs into an edge of the poured concrete structure by aligning the transverse tip with the border of the structure, pressing the arcuate designs into the poured wet concrete until the flat edge rests on the flat portion of the poured concrete and pulling or pushing the trowel into and through the poured concrete and discarding the concrete which rests above the trowel, thereby leaving the beautiful arcuate designs formed into the edge of the poured concrete structure. 
     It has further been discovered, according to the present invention, that if a trowel is formed with two side edges that extend perpendicularly downward from opposing sides of the trowel, and thereafter the trowel has a multiplicity of unique arcuate forms therein between the downwardly extending sections, and the trowel has a receiving member for receiving a sixteen foot pole or handle formed into a location where the multi-rounded forms are located, a mason or concrete worker may stand on a flat surface and may use a sixteen foot pole connected to the receiving member of the trowel and thereby pull the concrete through the middle of the driveway and discard the concrete which rests above the trowel, thereby leaving the beautiful arcuate designs formed into the surface of the poured concrete structure. By repeating this process of pulling the trowel across the surface of the freshly poured concrete, a continuous pattern may be formed over all or a substantial portion of the concrete structure. 
     It has been further discovered, according to the present invention, that the multiplicity of unique arcuate forms formed on the concrete surface may further be aesthetically enhanced by stamping decorative designs into the arcuate designs. 
     It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to create a trowel which is formed with a transverse lip which is intended to abut a fame border of a poured concrete structure and thereafter the trowel has a multiplicity of unique arcuate forms therein which extend to a flat surface structure at the uppermost part of the trowel, and the trowel has a receiving member for receiving a pole or handle formed into a location where the multi-rounded forms are located, so that the trowel can be used to form beautiful arcuate designs into an edge of the poured concrete structure by aligning the transverse tip with the border of the structure, pressing the arcuate designs into the poured wet concrete until the flat edge rests on the flat portion of the poured concrete and pulling or pushing the trowel into and through the poured concrete and discarding the concrete which rests above the trowel, thereby leaving the beautiful arcuate designs formed into the edge of the poured concrete structure. 
     It is therefore a further object of the present invention to create a trowel which is formed with a multiplicity of unique arcuate forms between two side edges that extend perpendicularly downward from opposing sides of the trowel so that a mason or concrete worker may stand on a flat surface and may use a sixteen foot pole connected to the trowel and pull the concrete through the middle of the driveway. Concrete which rests above the trowel is discarded, thereby leaving the beautiful arcuate designs formed into the surface of the poured concrete structure. The trowel has a receiving member for receiving a sixteen foot pole or handle formed into a location where the multi-rounded forms are located so that a mason or concrete worker may stand on a flat surface and may use a sixteen foot pole connected to the receiving member of the trowel and thereby pull the concrete through the middle of the driveway and discard the concrete which rests above the trowel, thereby leaving the beautiful arcuate designs formed into the surface of the poured concrete structure. By repeating this process of pulling the trowel across the surface of the freshly poured concrete, a continuous pattern may be formed over all or a substantial portion of the concrete structure. 
     It is therefore a further object of the present invention to create a trowel that provides two outward transverse surfaces that sit perpendicular and during use is partially submerged into the poured concrete surface such that the perpendicular outward transverse surfaces facilitate a user pulling the trowel through the concrete at great distances while further enhancing the ability of the user to pull the trowel in parallel lines. The two outward transverse surfaces further enhance the user&#39;s ability to guide and hold the trowel level at even great distances by providing a third dimensional reference to which a user may evaluate the depth of the trowel submerged within the concrete by feel or optionally by sight. 
     A still further object of the present invention to provide at least two arcuate shapes in the trowel where the arcuate shapes may vary in diameter and may vary in circumference in order to achieve the desired affect on the concrete surface. With regard to the circumference, the lower limiting factor of the circumference measurement being the smaller the measurement of the circumference of the arcuate shapes, the greater the number of arcuate shapes are needed in order to cover large areas. The upper limiting factor being the greater the measurement of the arc lengths, the fewer arcs may be made as it becomes difficult to pull the trowel over great distances as the width of the trowel increases. The number of arc lengths may also be varied. The lower limiting factor being the fewer the number of arc lengths, the more times a mason or concrete worker will need to pull the trowel through the concrete in order to form the arcuate shapes over large areas. The upper limiting factor being the greater the number of arc lengths, the more difficult it becomes to pull the trowel over great distances. 
     It is therefore a still further object of the present invention to be able to stamp decorative designs into a multiplicity of unique arcuate forms formed into freshly poured concrete. 
     Further novel features and other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, discussion and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the drawings.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     Although specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings, it should be understood that such embodiments are by way of example only and merely illustrative of but a small number of the many possible specific embodiments which can represent applications of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and modifications obvious to one skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains are deemed to be within the spirit, scope and contemplation of the present invention as further defined in the appended claims. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1 , there is illustrated a first embodiment of a pole operated trowel  10  of the present invention. The pole operated trowel  10  has a transverse side edge or lip  12  which has a bottom edge  14 , a top edge  16  and an outward transverse surface  18 . The top edge  16  of the lip  12  extends into the first arcuate surface section  22  of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  20  which has a first arcuate surface section  22  having a first edge  24 , a second edge  26 , a top rounded surface  28 , a bottom rounded surface  30 , a first side edge  32  and a second side edge  34 ; and a second arcuate surface section  36  which has a first edge  38 , a second edge  40 , a top rounded surface  42 , a bottom rounded surface  44 , a first side edge  46  and a second side edge  48 . The top edge  16  of lip 12  extends into the first edge  24  of first arcuate surface section  22  and the second edge  26  of first arcuate surface section  22  extends into the first edge  38  of second arcuate surface section  36 . Attached at a location on the upper surface of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  20  is an attachment means  50  which is rotatably connected to a pole receiving means  54 . By way of example only, the attachment means  50  can be a transverse plate which is attached at a location adjacent the intersection of first arcuate surface section  22  and the second arcuate surface section  36 . By way of example only, the pole receiving means  54  is attached to the transverse plate  50  by having an opening  52  in the transverse plate  50  and a threaded bolt  56  extending through an opening  60  in a collar  62  at the lower end of the pole receiving means  54  which is aligned with the opening  52  in the transverse plate and the nut  58  threaded onto the threaded bolt  56 . The pole receiving means has an opening  64  to receive a pole. The second edge  40  of the second arcuate surface section  36  extends into the first edge  72  of an uppermost flat plate section  70  which also has a second or leading edge  74 , a top surface  76 , a bottom surface  78 , a first side edge  80  and a second side edge  82 . 
     The pole operated trowel  10  is shown in operation in  FIGS. 3 through 6  to create beautiful decorative side edges on a poured concrete driveway  200 . By way of example, there is illustrated a street  500 , a driveway area  510 , and a garage door  520  at the end of the driveway area  510  remote from the street  500 . A border is formed around the concrete driveway area  510  which comprises a multiplicity of border members which are usually 2×4 pieces of lumber. A multiplicity of 2×4 lumber members  530  are positioned along a first side edge  512  of the driveway area  510  and rest between the side edge  512  a portion of lawn  542 . A multiplicity of 2×4 lumber members  532  are positioned along an opposite second side edge  514  of the driveway area  510  and rest between the side edge  514  a portion of lawn  544 . A multiplicity of 2×4 lumber members  534  are positioned along a first transverse edge  516  of the driveway area  510  and rest between the first transverse edge  516  and the floor beneath the garage door  520 . A multiplicity of 2×4 lumber members  536  are positioned along an opposite second transverse edge  518  of the driveway area  510  and rest between the second transverse edge  516  and the street  500 . Therefore, the lumber members  530 ,  532 ,  534  and  536  having respective interior sides  531 ,  533 ,  535  and  537  form a rectangular border round the driveway, area  510  where the concrete is to be poured to form the driveway. The border members are formed to be the same height as the top surface  552  of the concrete  550 . The concrete  550  is poured in the traditional manner. Typically, a cross-grid of metal such as wire rods rest on the ground over which the concrete is to be poured. The concrete  550  is poured into the driveway area  510  within the area surrounded by 2×4 lumber members  530 ,  532 ,  534  and  536 . The mason  600  typically pushes and or pulls on a flattening tool which can be another 2×4 in order to provide a flat smooth upper surface  552  to the poured concrete  550 . 
     The present invention pole operated trowel  10  is used after the concrete  550  has been poured and the upper surface  552  smoothed and flattened and while the concrete  550  is still wet. The mason  600  stands (or can kneel) to one side of the driveway area  510  and can stand on the lawn  542  or on a portion of the lumber members  530 . The mason  600  aligns the pole operated trowel  10  such that its transverse side edge  12  is adjacent the interior edge  531  of the 2×4 lumber members  530  and the mason pushes the pole operated trowel  10  into the concrete  550  so that outward transverse surface  18  rests against the interior surface  531  of lumber members  532 . The pole operated trowel  10  is pushed into the wet concrete  550  until the bottom surface  78  of flat plate such  70  rests on the top surface  552  of the poured concrete  550 . From the perspective view illustrated in  FIG. 1 , it is now apparent that the first arcuate surface section  22  and second arcuate surface section  36  of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  20  are pushed into the wet concrete  550  and rest below the upper surface  552  of the concrete in the area bounded by the interior edge  531  of the 2×4 lumber members  530  and the width “W” of the multi-rounded portion  20  extending from first edge  24  to second edge  40 . A pole  84  is retained within the opening  64  of pole receiving means  54  and the mason pulls the pole operated trowel  10  through the wet concrete  550 . After every few inches, the desired multi-rounded shape is formed into the wet concrete in the area below the first and second arcuate surface sections  22  and  36  of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  20 . The concrete on the respective top surfaces  28  ad  42  of the arcuate surface sections  22  and  36  piles up as shown in  FIG. 5  and is thrown away as illustrated in  FIG. 6 . The discarded concrete is thrown into a trash receiving container (not shown). 
     The mason pulls the pole operated trowel  10  through the wet concrete  550  in this manner from the first transverse edge  516  adjacent the garage door  520  to the second transverse edge  518  adjacent the street  500 . The pole operated trowel  10  can also be pushed in the opposite direction to smooth over the arcuate design left underneath the pole operated trowel  10 . The collar  62  and threaded bolt  56  permit the angle of the pole  84  relative to the mason  600  to be adjusted to any angle so that the pulling angle of the design formed into the wet concrete can be of any height and longitudinal angle relative to the ground. The key innovation of the present invention over prior art trowels is that the present invention enables the mason to create any number of variations of arcuate designs into the edge  560  of the driveway  570  as illustrated in  FIG. 7  so that an infinite number of multi-rounded designs of substantial aesthetic beauty can be formed into the side edge  560  of the driveway  570 . 
     After one edge  560  is completed, the opposite edge of the driveway is embellished in the same manner while the concrete is still wet. The mason now stands (or can kneel) to the opposite side of the driveway area  510  and can stand on the lawn  544  or on a portion of the lumber members  532 . The mason  600  aligns the pole operated trowel  10  such that its transverse side edge  12  is adjacent the interior edge  533  of the 2×4 lumber members  532  and pushes the pole operated trowel  10  into the concrete  550  so that outward transverse surface  18  rests against the interior surface  533  of lumber members  532 . The pole operated trowel  10  is pushed into the wet concrete  550  until the bottom surface  78  of flat plate such  70  rests on the top surface  552  of the poured concrete. From the perspective view illustrated in  FIG. 1 , it is now apparent that the first arcuate surface section  22  and second arcuate surface section  36  of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  20  are pushed into the wet concrete  550  and rest below the upper surface  552  of the concrete in the area bounded by the interior edge  533  of the 2×4 lumber members  532  and the width “W” of the multi-rounded portion  20  extending from first edge  24  to second edge  40 . A pole  84  is retained within the opening  64  of pole receiving means  54  and the mason pulls the pole operated trowel  10  through the wet concrete  550 . After every few inches, the desired multi-rounded shape is formed into the wet concrete in the area below the first and second arcuate surface sections  22  and  36  of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  20 . The concrete on the respective top surfaces  28  ad  42  of the arcuate surface sections  22  and  36  piles up as shown in  FIG. 5  and is thrown away as illustrated in  FIG. 6 . The discarded concrete is thrown into a trash receiving container (not shown). 
     The mason pulls the pole operated trowel  10  through the wet concrete  550  in this manner from the first transverse edge  516  adjacent the garage door  520  to the second transverse edge  518  adjacent the street  500  or in the opposite direction from the street  500  to the location adjacent the garage door  520 . The pole operated trowel  10  can also be pushed in the opposite direction to smooth over the arcuate design left underneath the pole operated trowel  10 . The collar  62  and threaded bolt  56  permit the angle of the pole  84  relative to the mason  600  to be adjusted to any angle so that the pulling angle of the design formed into the wet concrete can be of any height and longitudinal angle relative to the ground. 
     The key innovation of the present invention over prior art trowels is that the present invention enables the mason to create any number of variations of arcuate designs into the opposite edge of the driveway  562  so that an infinite number of multi-rounded designs  580  of substantial aesthetic beauty can be formed into the side edge of the driveway  562 . The competed designed  580  on both side edges  560  and  562  of the driveway  570  is illustrated in  FIG. 7 . 
     The preferred embodiment of the present invention is to have the pole  84  as this provides the most leverage to enable the mason  600  to pull or push the trowel  10  through the heavy concrete and lift the concrete laden trowel  10  to discard the concrete which rests above the trowel as it is pulled through the driveway. In an alternative embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 2 , the trowel  10 A can be a hand operated trowel. The parts are identical to the parts in the pole operated trowel illustrated in  FIG. 1  and are numbered the same, but instead of receiving a pole  84 , the opening  64  receives a handle member  86 . It is also within the spirit and scope of the present invention for the handle member to be of any shape and with the handle  86  rotatably mounted onto the body of the  10 A as illustrated in  FIG. 2  or mounted in a fixed orientation. The pulling and pushing operation using the handle operated trowel  10 A is similar to the operation illustrated in  FIGS. 3 through 6  but instead the mason  600  kneels on the lawn  542  or  544  and/or on the 2×4 members  530  and  532 . This is a more difficult operation because the mason  600  does not have the leverage to pull and push the heavy concrete and throw it away as the mason  600  has when the mason  600  is standing. Therefore, while the hand operated trowel  10 A is also within the spirit and scope of the present invention, the pole operated trowel  10  is the preferred embodiment for creating designs into a heavy concrete driveway or other heavy concrete surface. 
     While the present invention has been illustrated to create a multiplicity of beautiful arcuate designs into a concrete driveway, it will be appreciated that it can be used to create beautiful a multi-arcuate design, in a the border of a flowerbed or other concrete structure on the ground. The same principles apply. The structure is surrounded with a wooden border or border made of other suitable material which will not adhere to concrete and the outward transverse surface  18  of the transverse side edge or lip  12  rests against the interior surface border (the interior surface of the border is defined as the surface of the border facing the concrete) while the bottom surface  78  of flat plate section  70  rests on the upper interior level of the structure and the sections of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  20  are pushed into the edge of the concrete structure and pulled and pushed through it as was described above to create the beautiful multi-rounded arcuate design shape into the border of the concrete structure. 
     It will be appreciated that the multi-rounded design illustrated in  FIGS. 1 through 7  is only one of numerous multi-rounded designs that are within the spirit and scope of the present invention. Referring to  FIG. 8 , there is illustrated one of the numerous alternative multi-rounded designs that are within the spirit and scope of the present invention. In this alternative variation, instead of having two arcuate surface sections, there are three arcuate surface sections. It will be appreciated that it is within the spirit and scope of the present invention to have any number and shape of arcuate surface sections. 
     Referring to  FIG. 8 , there is illustrated an alternative embodiment of a pole operated trowel  110  of the present invention. The pole operated trowel  110  has a transverse side edge or lip  112  which has a bottom edge  114 , a top edge  116  and an outward transverse surface  118 . The top edge  116  of the lip  112  extends into the first arcuate surface section  122  of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  120  which has a first arcuate surface section  122  having a first edge  124 , a second edge  126 , a top rounded surface  128 , a bottom rounded surface  130 , a first side edge  132  and a second side edge  134 ; a second arcuate surface section  136  which has a first edge  138 , a second edge  140 , a top rounded surface  142 , a bottom rounded surface  144 , a first side edge  146  and a second side edge  148 ; and in this variation a third arcuate surface section  127  which has a first edge  129 , a second edge  131 , a top rounded surface  133 , a bottom rounded surface  135 , a first side. edge  137  and a second side edge  139 . The top edge  116  of lip  112  extends into the first edge  124  of first arcuate surface section  122 , the second edge  126  of first arcuate surface section  122  extends into the first edge  138  of second arcuate surface section  136 , and the second edge  140  of the second arcuate surface section  136  extends into the first edge  129  of third arcuate surface section  127 . The second edge  131  of the third arcuate surface section  127  extends into the first edge  172  of an uppermost flat plate section  170  which also has a second or leading edge  174 , a top surface  176 , a bottom surface  178 , a first side edge  180  and a second side edge  182 . 
     In this variation of the pole operate trowel  110 , attached at a location on the top surface  176  of the uppermost flat plate section  170  is an attachment means  150  which is rotatably connected to a pole receiving means  154 . By of example only, the attachment means  150  can be a transverse plate which is attached at a location on the top surface  176  of the uppermost flat plate section  170 . It will be appreciated that the attachment means can be on any upper surface of the pole operated trowel  110 . By way of example only, the pole receiving means  154  is attached to the transverse plate  150  by having an opening  152  in the transverse plate  150  and a threaded bolt  156  extending through an opening  160  in a collar  162  at the lower end of the pole receiving means  154  which is aligned with the opening  152  in the transverse plate and the nut  158  threaded onto the threaded bolt  156 . The pole receiving means has an opening  164  to receive a pole. 
     The pole operated trowel  110  is shown in operation in  FIGS. 9 through 12  to create beautiful decorative side edges on a poured concrete driveway  400 . By way of example, there is illustrated a street  605 , a driveway area  610 , and a garage door  620  at the end of the driveway area  610  remote from the street  605 . A border is formed around the concrete driveway area  610  which comprises a multiplicity of border members which are usually 2×4 pieces of lumber. A multiplicity of 2×4 lumber members  630  are positioned along a first side edge  612  of the driveway area  610  and rest between the side edge  612  a portion of lawn  642 . A multiplicity of 2×4 lumber members  632  are positioned along an opposite second side edge  614  of the driveway area  610  and rest between the side edge  614  a portion of lawn  644 . A multiplicity of 2×4 lumber members  634  are positioned along a first transverse edge  616  of the driveway area  610  and rest between the first transverse edge  616  and the floor beneath the garage door  620 . A multiplicity of 2×4 lumber members  636  are positioned along an opposite second transverse edge  618  of the driveway area  610  and rest between the second transverse edge  618  and the street  605 . Therefore, the lumber members  630 ,  632 ,  634  and  636  having respective interior sides  631 ,  633 ,  635  and  637  form a rectangular border round the driveway area  610  where the concrete is to be poured to form the driveway. The border members are formed to be the same height as the top surface  652  of the concrete  650 . The concrete  650  is poured in the traditional manner. Typically, a cross-grid of metal such as wire rods rest on the ground over which the concrete is to be poured. The concrete  650  is poured into the driveway area  610  within the area surrounded by 2×4 lumber members  630 ,  632 ,  634  and  636 . The mason  600  typically pushes and or pulls on a flattening tool which can be another 2×4 in order to provide a flat smooth upper surface  552  to the poured concrete  650 . 
     The present invention pole operated trowel  110  is used after the concrete  650  has been poured and the upper surface  652  smoothed and flattened and while the concrete  650  is still wet. The mason  600  stands (or can kneel) to one side of the driveway area  610  and can stand on the lawn  642  or on a portion of the lumber members  630 . The mason  600  aligns the pole operated trowel  110  such that its transverse side edge  112  is adjacent the interior edge  631  of the 2×4 lumber members  630  and pushes the pole operated trowel  110  into the concrete  650  so that outward transverse surface  118  rests against the interior surface  631  of lumber members  632 . The pole operated trowel  110  is pushed into the wet concrete  650  until the bottom surface  178  of flat plate section  170  rests on the top surface  652  of the poured concrete  650 . From the perspective view illustrated in  FIG. 7 , it is now apparent that the first arcuate surface section  122 , the second arcuate surface section  136 , and the third arcuate surface section  127  of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  120  are pushed into the wet concrete  650  and rest below the upper surface  652  of the concrete in the area bounded by the interior edge  631  of the 2×4 lumber members  630  and the width “W” of the multi-rounded portion  120  extending from first edge  124  to second edge  131 . A pole  184  is retained within the opening  164  of pole receiving means  154  and the mason pulls the pole operated trowel  110  through the wet concrete  650 . After every few inches, the desired multi-rounded shape is formed into the wet concrete in the area below the first, second and third arcuate surface sections  122 ,  136  and  127  of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  120 . The concrete on the respective top surfaces  128 ,  142  and  133  of the arcuate surface sections  122 ,  136  and  127  piles up as shown in  FIG. 12  and is thrown away as illustrated in  FIG. 13 . The discarded concrete is thrown into a trash receiving container (not shown). 
     The mason pulls the pole operated trowel  110  through the wet concrete  650  in this manner from the first transverse edge  616  adjacent the garage door  620  to the second transverse edge  618  adjacent the street  605 . The pole operated trowel  110  can also be pushed in the opposite direction to smooth over the arcuate design left underneath the pole operated trowel  110 . The collar  162  and threaded bolt  156  permit the angle of the pole  184  relative to the mason  600  to be adjusted to any angle so that the pulling angle of the design formed into the wet concrete can be of any height and longitudinal angle relative to the ground. The key innovation of the present invention over prior art trowels is that the present invention enables the mason to create any number of variations of arcuate designs into the edge  660  of the driveway  670  as illustrated in  FIG. 14  so that an infinite number of multi-rounded designs of substantial aesthetic beauty can be formed into the side edge  660  of the driveway  670 . 
     After one edge  660  is completed, the opposite edge of the driveway is embellished in the same manner while the concrete is still wet. The mason now stands (or can kneel) to the opposite side of the driveway area  610  and can stand on the lawn  644  or on a portion of the lumber members  632 . The mason  600  aligns the pole operated trowel  110  such that its transverse side edge  112  is adjacent the interior edge  633  of the 2×4 lumber members  632  and pushes the pole operated trowel  110  into the concrete  650  so that outward transverse surface  118  rests against the interior surface  633  of lumber members  632 . The pole operated trowel  110  is pushed into the wet concrete  650  until the bottom surface  178  of flat plate section  170  rests on the top surface  652  of the poured concrete. From the perspective view illustrated in  FIG. 8 , it is now apparent that the first arcuate surface section  122 , the second arcuate surface section  136  and third arcuate surface section  127  of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  210  are pushed into the wet concrete  650  and rest below the upper surface  652  of the concrete in the area bounded by the interior edge  633  of the 2×4 lumber members  632  and the width “W′” of the multi-rounded portion  120  extending from first edge  124  to second edge  131 . A pole  184  is retained within the opening  164  of pole receiving means  154  and the mason pulls the pole operated trowel  110  through the wet concrete  650 . After every few inches, the desired multi-rounded shape is formed into the wet concrete in the area below the first, second and third arcuate surface sections  122 ,  136  and  127  of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  120 . The concrete on the respective top surfaces  128 ,  142  and  133  of the arcuate surface sections  122 ,  136  and  127  piles up as shown in  FIG. 12  and is thrown away as illustrated in  FIG. 13 . The discarded concrete is thrown into a trash receiving container (not shown). 
     The mason pulls the pole operated trowel  110  through the wet concrete  650  in this manner from the first transverse edge  616  adjacent the garage door  620  to the second transverse edge  618  adjacent the street  605  or in the opposite direction from the street  605  to the location adjacent the garage door  620 . The pole operated trowel  110  can also be pushed in the opposite direction to smooth over the arcuate design left underneath the pole operated trowel  110 . The collar  162  and threaded bolt  156  permit the angle of the pole  184  relative to the mason  600  to be adjusted to any angle so that the pulling angle of the design formed into the wet concrete can be of any height and longitudinal angle relative to the ground. 
     The key innovation of the present invention over prior art trowels is that the present invention enables the mason to create any number of variations of arcuate designs into the opposite edge of the driveway  662  so that an infinite number of multi-rounded designs  680  of substantial aesthetic beauty can be formed into the side edge of the driveway  662 . The competed designed  680  on both side edges  660  and  662  of the driveway  670  is illustrated in  FIG. 14 . 
     The preferred embodiment of the present invention is to have the pole  184  as this provides the most leverage to enable the mason  600  to pull or push the trowel  110  through the heavy concrete and lift the concrete laden trowel  110  to discard the concrete which rests above the trowel as it is pulled through the driveway. In an alternative embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 9 , the trowel  110 A can be a hand operated trowel. The parts are identical to the parts in the pole operated trowel illustrated in  FIG. 8  and are numbered the same, but instead of receiving a pole  184 , the opening  164  receives a handle member  186 . It is also within the spirit and scope of the present invention for the handle member to be of any shape and with the handle  186  rotatably mounted onto the body of the  110 A as illustrated in  FIG. 9  or mounted in a fixed orientation. The pulling and pushing operation using the handle operated trowel  110 A is similar to the operation illustrated in  FIGS. 10 through 13  but instead the mason  600  kneels on the lawn  642  or  644  and/or on the 2×4 members  630  and  632 . This is a more difficult operation because the mason  600  does not have the leverage to pull and push the heavy concrete and throw it away as the mason  600  has when the mason  600  is standing. Therefore, while the hand operated trowel  110 A is also within the spirit and scope of the present invention, the pole operated trowel  110  is the preferred embodiment for creating designs into a heavy concrete driveway or other heavy concrete surface. 
     In an additional embellishment to the present invention, the bottom surface of the trowel  10  can have a decorative design formed into the bottom surface of the trowel  10 . Therefore, after the operation is completed as illustrated in  FIGS. 7 and 14 , and while the concrete is still wet, the mason stamps the decorative design into the wet concrete so that the final finished driveway has the decorative design stamped into it and therefore the final driveway has a beautiful rounded design with a decorative design stamped into it. By way of example only, one type of decorative design is a brick pattern  900  as illustrated in  FIG. 17 . The brick pattern  900  is formed into a second trowel  10 B which is the same as trowel  10  however the bottom surfaces  30  and  44  and the bottom surface  78  of the uppermost flat plate section  70  and the locations between these areas on the bottom of the trowel all have the decorative design formed into them. The decorative brick design  900  is illustrated in  FIG. 17  and the side view of  FIG. 18  shows how the decorative brick design  900  is formed into the underside of the concrete trowel  10 B. After the operation to create the rounded design into the driveway is completed, as illustrated in  FIG. 7 , and while the concrete is still wet, the mason goes to the area adjacent either the street or the garage door and through a vertical downward action, stamps the decorative pattern into the wet concrete, lifts up the trowel  10 B and makes another stamping action adjacent the first stamping, and through a repetitive process stamps the brick design  900  into the entire multi-rounded concrete design which was formed on the side edges of the driveway. In addition, the design can also be under the flat plate surface  78  and therefore the design extends into the flat area of the driveway adjacent the multi-rounded design area. The final finished design  580 A has the brick pattern formed into both side edges  560  and  562  and also into the driveway  570  in the area adjacent the side edges  560  and  562  as illustrated in  FIG. 19 . It will be appreciated that the brick design is only one of many numerous designs which can be used, which includes flowers, animals, artwork, etc. The same stamping concept can be formed into other applications of the present invention including flowerbeds and the tabletop as discussed below. 
     It is also possible to use any variation of the present invention to create a multi-rounded edge on a poured concrete tabletop instead of a driveway. As illustrated in  FIG. 15 , the concrete is poured onto an elevated structure  800  having a smooth flat surface  810  which is surrounded by four 2×4 beams; beam  830  having interior side edge  831 , beam  832  having interior side edge  833 , beam  834  having interior side edge  835 , and beam  836  having interior side edge  837 . To form a multi-rounded design onto one or more edges of the concrete tabletop  820 , the hand operated version of the trowel such as that illustrated in  FIGS. 2 and 9  is used. The outward transverse surface  18  or  118  of lip  12  or  112  is aligned against an interior surface of a beam after the wet concrete tabletop  820  has been poured and the multi-rounded sections  20  or  120  are pushed into the wet concrete tabletop  820  until the bottom surface  78  or  178  or the uppermost flat plate section  70  or  170  rests against the flat top surface  822  of the poured concrete  820 . The trowel  10 A or  110 A is then pulled or pushed through the edge of the concrete with the concrete on top of the trowel being discarded as previously discussed so that the beautiful multi-rounded design  830  is now formed into the edges of the finished tabletop as illustrated in  FIG. 16 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 20 , there is illustrated a second embodiment of a pole operated trowel  200  of the present invention. The pole operated trowel  200  has a pair of perpendicular side edges or lips  212  and  212 A which have bottom edges  214  and  214 A, top edges  216  and  216 A and a pair of outward transverse surfaces  218  and  218 A. The top edge  216  of the lip  212  extends into the first arcuate surface section  222  of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  220  which has a first arcuate surface section  222  having a first edge  224 , a second edge  226 , a top rounded surface  228 , a bottom rounded surface  230 , a first side edge  232  and a second side edge  234 ; and a second arcuate surface section  236 , a top rounded surface  238 , a bottom rounded surface  240 , a first side edge  242  and a second side edge  244 . A third arcuate surface section  246  which a top rounded surface  248 , a bottom rounded surface  284 , a first side edge  286  and a second side edge  288 . The top edge  216  of lip  212  extends into the first edge  224  of first arcuate surface section  222  and the second edge  226  of first arcuate surface section  222  extends into the second arcuate surface section  236  and the second arcuate surface section  236  extends into the third arcuate surface section  246 . Attached at a location on the upper surface of the multi-rounded design shaped portion  242  is an attachment means  250  which is rotatably connected to a pole receiving means  254 . By way of example only, the attachment means  250  can be a transverse plate which is attached at a location substantially in the middle of the trowel  200 . When three arcuate surfaces are present as shown in  FIG. 20 , the top rounded surface  238  of the second arcuate surface section  236  is the preferred location of the attachment means  250 . By way of example only, the pole receiving means  254  is attached to the transverse plate  250  by having an opening  252  in the transverse plate  250  and a threaded bolt  256  extending through an opening  260  in a collar  262  at the lower end of the pole receiving means  254  which is aligned with the opening  252  in the transverse plate and the nut  258  threaded onto the threaded bolt  256 . The pole receiving means has an opening  264  to receive a pole. 
     Three arcuate surfaces are illustrated in  FIG. 20  for demonstrative purposes. It will be appreciate that any multiplicity of arcuate surfaces are within the spirit and scope of the present invention in order to suit the particular needs of the concrete or mason worker. The lower limiting factor being the fewer the number of arcs  222 ,  236 , and  246 , the more times a mason or concrete worker will need to pull the trowel  200  through the concrete  552  in order to form the arcuate shapes in the concrete  552  over large areas. The upper limiting factor being the greater the number of arcuate shapes  222 ,  236 , and  246  in the trowel  200 , the more difficult it becomes to pull the trowel  200  over great distances. 
     While a pair of lips  212  and  212 A is the preferred embodiment, it will be appreciate that the present invention will work with at least one transverse lip having a top and a bottom edge and outer surface. By way of example, there is illustrated in  FIG. 21  a street  500 , a driveway area  510 , and a garage door  520  at the end of the driveway area  510  remote from the street  500 . Typically, a cross-grid of metal such as wire rods rest on the ground over which the concrete is to be poured. The concrete  550  is poured into the driveway area  510 . The mason  600  typically pushes and or pulls on a flattening tool which can be another 2×4 in order to provide a flat smooth upper surface  552  to the poured concrete  550 . 
     The present invention pole operated trowel  200  is used after the concrete  550  has been poured and the upper surface  552  has been smoothed and flattened and while the concrete  550  is still wet. The mason  600  stands in the street  500 . The mason  600  aligns the pole operated trowel  200  such that its perpendicular transverse side edge  212  runs parallel to the edge of the lawn  590  and the mason pushes the pole operated trowel  200  into the concrete  550  so that the outward transverse surface  218  rests within the concrete  550 . The pole operated trowel  200  is pushed into the wet concrete  550  until the arcuate arcs  222 ,  236  and  246  are submerged into the poured concrete  550 . The pole operated trowel  200  has a pair of perpendicular side edges or lips  212  and  212 A which have respective bottom edges  214  and  214 A which are pressed into the top surface  552 . of concrete  550 . By pulling the pole  602  attached to the trowel  200  through the cement  550 , a line extending from one end of the surface  552  near the garage  520  to the other end near the street  500  can be created. An elongated arcuate design is then formed from the width of the trowel  200  in the concrete  550 . By lining up a the right edge lip  212  of the trowel  200  or left edge lip  212 A with the freshly pulled arcuate surface, a second parallel arcuate design may be created by carefully pulling the trowel  200  across the upper surface  552 . As this process is repeated an entire surface  552  can therefore be pressed with the arcuate design resulting in a continuous arcuate surface  610  as shown in  FIG. 22 . 
     In an additional embodiment of the present invention, the bottom surface of the trowel  200  can have a decorative design formed into the bottom surface of the trowel  200 . Therefore, after the operation is completed as illustrated in  FIG. 22 , and while the concrete arcuate shapes  610  are still wet, the mason stamps the decorative design into the wet concrete  550  so that the final finished driveway has the decorative design stamped into it and therefore the final driveway has a continuous beautiful rounded design with a decorative design stamped into it. By way of example only, one type of decorative design is a random pattern of multiple lines  1000  as illustrated in  FIG. 23 . Referring to  FIG. 24 , the pattern  1000  is formed into a second trowel  200 A which is the substantially the same as trowel  200  in form, however the bottom surfaces  230 A and  244 A and the locations between these areas on the bottom of the trowel all have the decorative design  1000  formed into them. As there are two arcuate surfaces in this embodiment, the attachment means  250 A is shown substantially in the middle of the trowel  200 A. The decorative random pattern design  1000  is illustrated in  FIG. 23  and the bottom perspective view of  FIG. 24  shows how the decorative pattern  1000  is formed into the underside of the concrete trowel  200 A. After the operation to create the rounded design into the driveway is completed, as illustrated in  FIG. 22 , and while the concrete  550  is still wet, the mason  600  goes to the area adjacent either the street  500  or the garage door  520  and through a vertical downward action, stamps the decorative pattern  1000  into the wet concrete  550 , lifts up the trowel  200 A and makes another stamping action adjacent the first stamping, and through a repetitive process stamps the random pattern design  1000  into the entire multi-rounded concrete design  610  which was formed across the surface of the driveway. The final finished design  610 A has the random pattern formed into the driveway  570  surface as illustrated in  FIG. 25 . The grass  542  and  544  on either edge of the driveway is also illustrated. It will be appreciated that the random design is only one of many numerous designs which can be used, which includes flowers, animals, artwork, etc. It should also be appreciated that the designs may also vary in depth and contours to mimic naturally existing materials used such as stone. The same stamping concept can be formed into other applications of the present invention including flowerbeds and walkways.
