Abstract
Trimmer head comprising at lease two eyelets (17) and a bobbin (10) provided with at least two sections (11, 12) for storing of one cutting filaments (13, 14) in each section. The eyelet (17) is placed in a housing surrounding the bobbin (10) and is provided with an opening for the cutting filament (13, 14). The opening is extending in axial direction of the trimmer head so that the opening provides access to all sections (11, 12) for storing of cutting filament (13, 14). One side of the opening has groove shaped so that the cutting filament (13, 14) is placed in the groove when the trimmer head rotates no matter of which section (11, 12) of the bobbin (10) the filament (13, 14) is stored in.
Claims10
Trimmer head comprising at least two eyelets (17) and a bobbin (10) with at least two sections (11,12) for storing of one cutting filament (13,14) in each section, said eyelet (17) is placed in a housing surrounding the bobbin (10), characterized in that the eyelet (17) is provided with an opening (19) for the cutting filament, said opening (19) is extending in axial direction of the trimmer head so that the opening (19) provides access to all sections (11,12) for storing of cutting filaments (13,14) and that one side of the opening (19) has a groove shaped so that the cutting filament (13,14) is placed in the groove when the trimmer head rotates in the intended direction so that the cutting filament is placed in the groove by the forces generated by the rotation no matter of which section (11,12) of the bobbin (10) the filament (13,14) is stored in.
Trimmer head according to claim 1, characterized in that the opening (19) in the eyelet (17) is V-shaped with a tip (20) in one end and a first (21) and a second end (22) separated from each other in the other end, said tip (20) of the V-shaped opening (19) is coinciding with the groove so that the cutting filament (13,14) is placed in the tip (20) when the trimmer head is rotating in the intended direction 8. Trimmer head according to claim 7, characterized in that the bobbin (10) comprises a first (11) and a second (12) section for storing of cutting filament.
Trimmer head according to claim 8, characterized in that the first (21) end of the opening (19) provides access to the first section (11) on the bobbin (10) and the second end (22) of the opening (19) to the second section (12) on the bobbin (10).
