Cutting head for brush cutters or edge trimmers

Abstract

This rotary cutting head uses relatively short, individually retained, cutting line filaments. It includes, between its periphery and a central recess, at least one radial passageway of cross section corresponding to twice the cross section of a filament. Each filament passes through the corresponding passageway a first time and is folded through 180° in the recess, in order to pass through the passageway a second time, the 180° folding of the filament forming a lateral swelling which ensures its retention. The two free line portions, resulting from the folding, are of the same length and extend parallel to one another, in the same plane perpendicular to the axis of the head, thereby reducing the sound level of the cutting head during operation.
