Abstract
A plant trimming guide apparatus, including a plurality of guide blades made of a resilient material, and a flat collar having a length, a width, an attachment surface, and made of a resilient material. Each of the plurality of guide blades has a pivot end that is secured pivotably with a common securement pin, and an opposed based end, with the plurality of base ends attached to and extending from an attachment surface of the collar, in a series along the length between the first end and the second end of the collar. Securing the first and second ends of the collar into a formed ring with the attachment surface facing outwardly causes the guide blades to extend radially from the common pivot ends and bend semi-spherically to the base ends, forming a spherical trimming guide.
Claims20
A plant trimming guide apparatus, including:
- a. a plurality of guide blades, made of a resilient material, and
- b. a base comprising a collar having a length, a width, and an attachment surface, made of a resilient material,
- wherein each of the plurality of guide blades has a pivot end that is secured pivotably with a common securement, and an opposed base end, the plurality of base ends attached to and extends from an attachment surface of the collar, in a series along the length between the first end and the second end of the collar.
A plant trimming guide apparatus, including:
- a. a plurality of guide blades, made of a resilient material;
- wherein each adjustable-length guide blade consists of at least two overlapping and adjoining members, including:
- i. a first member having a length, a pivot end that is secured pivotably with a common securement, a first overlapping end portion, and at least one first fastener element along the length of the first overlapping end portion;
- and
- ii. a second member, having a length, a base end, where the plurality of base ends attach to and extend outwardly in a series from a common base, a second overlapping end portion, and at least one second fastener element along the length of the second overlapping end portion;
- and
- b. an adjustable fastener comprising the first fastener element and the second fastener element, wherein at least one of the first fastener elements and at least one of the second fastener elements releaseably fasten and include a plurality of selectable fastener elements for selectively fastening the adjustable fastener to adjust the length of the overlap between the overlapping end portions of the first member and the second member, thereby adjusting the length of the adjustable-length guide blade.
