The bump and feed trimmer head may be used with a vegetation trimming device to trim vegetation. The bump and feed trimmer head attaches to a drive shaft of a vegetation trimmer at the collar at the top of the trimmer head. Trimmer line is wound inside the bump and feed trimmer head. When the trimmer line in use wears out, the user taps (or bumps) the cylinder at the bottom (shown in phantom) on the ground, and more trimmer line is released.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of bump and feed trimmer head.
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the bump and feed trimmer head of FIG. 1, the back elevational view has the same image as the front elevational view.
FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view of the bump and feed trimmer head of FIG. 1, the left side elevational view has the same image of the right side elevational view.
FIG. 4 is a bottom plan view of the bump and feed trimmer head of FIG. 1; and,
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the bump and feed trimmer head of FIG. 1.
The bottom cylindrical portion (visible in FIGS. 1–4) is drawn using broken lines to indicate that the bottom cylindrical portion is not part of the claimed design, but is part of the environment. The broken lines inside the two circular holes that are on the sides of the trimmer head (visible in FIGS. 1 and 3) are a border indicating a region that is not part of the claimed design. The broken lines within the hole in the opening within the collar at the top of the bump and feed trimmer head (visible in FIGS. 1 and 5) represent bounds of the claimed design, and the broken line and the region enclosed by the broken lines is not part of the claimed design.
