Abstract
A weed trimmer apparatus may comprise a trimmer shaft and a trimmer head coupled to a first end of the shaft. A first handle may extend from the shaft. The first handle may include a grip portion and an actuation mechanism on the grip portion to actuate a motor. A second handle may be rotatably coupled to the first handle. The second handle may rotate around an axis of the first handle between at least three positions: substantially orthogonal to the shaft, substantially parallel to the shaft extending toward one or the first end or the second end, and substantially orthogonal to the shaft opposite the first position. This configuration may allow for versatile operation and user comfort.
Claims20
A weed trimmer apparatus comprising:
- a trimmer shaft;
- a trimmer head coupled to a first end of the trimmer shaft;
- a first handle extending from the trimmer shaft, the first handle comprising:
- a grip portion configured to be grasped by a user's hand, and
- an actuation mechanism disposed on the grip portion and configured to actuate a motor of the trimmer;
- and
- a second handle rotatably coupled to the first handle, the second handle configured to rotate around an axis of the first handle between at least:
- a first position substantially orthogonal to the trimmer shaft,
- a second position substantially parallel to the trimmer shaft and extending toward one of the first end of the trimmer shaft or the second end of the trimmer shaft, and
- a third position substantially orthogonal to the trimmer shaft and opposite the first position.
A trimmer apparatus comprising:
- a trimmer base comprising a motor;
- a shaft extending from the trimmer base;
- a trimmer head secured to an end of the shaft opposite the trimmer base;
- a first handle extending from the shaft, the first handle comprising:
- a grip portion configured to be grasped by a user's hand, and
- an actuation mechanism disposed on the grip portion and operatively connected to the motor;
- a second handle rotatably coupled to the first handle, the second handle configured to rotate around an axis of the first handle between at least:
- a first position substantially parallel to the shaft and extending toward the trimmer head,
- a second position substantially parallel to the shaft and extending toward the trimmer base,
- a third position substantially orthogonal to the shaft, and
- a fourth position substantially orthogonal to the shaft and opposite the third position;
- and
- a locking mechanism configured to selectively secure the second handle in the first position, the second position, or the third position.
A power tool comprising:
- an elongate shaft;
- an operative head coupled to a first end of the shaft;
- a first handle extending from the shaft, the first handle comprising:
- a grip portion configured to be grasped by a user's hand, and
- an actuation mechanism disposed on the grip portion and configured to actuate a motor of the power tool;
- and
- a second handle rotatably coupled to the first handle, the second handle configured to rotate around an axis of the first handle.
