Abstract
A cover for a trimmer head of a landscape trimmer has a diameter at least slightly greater than the diameter of the retaining assembly, which extends outwardly from the bottom plate. The retaining assembly engages with the knob of the trimmer head, while the cutting line spool is positioned between the cover and the knob. The bottom plate forms an enlarged collar surrounding the retaining assembly and prevents damage to lawn and soil during an occasional contact with the trimmer head.
