Description
The bump and feed trimmer head may be used with a vegetation
trimming device to trim vegetation. The bump and feed trimmer head
attaches to a drive shaft of a vegetation trimmer at the collar at
the top of the trimmer head. Trimmer line is wound inside the bump
and feed trimmer head. When the trimmer line in use wears out, the
user taps (or bumps) the cylinder at the bottom (shown in phantom)
on the ground, and more trimmer line is released.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of bump and feed trimmer head.
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the bump and feed trimmer
head of FIG. 1, the back elevational view has the same image as the
front elevational view.
FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view of the bump and feed
trimmer head of FIG. 1, the left side elevational view has the same
image of the right side elevational view.
FIG. 4 is a bottom plan view of the bump and feed trimmer head of
FIG. 1; and,
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the bump and feed trimmer head of FIG.
1.
The bottom cylindrical portion (visible in FIGS. 1 4) is drawn
using broken lines to indicate that the bottom cylindrical portion
is not part of the claimed design, but is part of the environment.
The broken lines inside the two circular holes that are on the
sides of the trimmer head (visible in FIGS. 1 and 3) are a border
indicating a region that is not part of the claimed design. The
broken lines within the hole in the opening within the collar at
the top of the bump and feed trimmer head (visible in FIGS. 1 and
5) represent bounds of the claimed design, and the broken line and
the region enclosed by the broken lines is not part of the claimed
design.
