Abstract
Description

The top unloading trimmer head may be used with a vegetation trimming device to trim vegetation. The top unloading trimmer head attaches to a drive shaft of a vegetation trimmer at the collar at the top of the trimmer head. Trimmer line is loaded into the trapezoidal shaped openings on the side and removed by pulling the trimmer line out through the circular openings in the conical portion of the trimmer head.



FIG. 1 is a perspective view of top unloading trimmer head.



FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the top unloading 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 top unloading trimmer head of FIG. 1, the left side elevational view has the same image of the right side elevational view.



FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the top unloading trimmer head of FIG. 1; and,



FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view of the top unloading trimmer head of FIG. 1.


The screws (visible in FIGS. 1–4) are drawn using broken lines to indicate that the screws are not part of the claimed design, but is part of the environment. The bottom cylindrical portion (visible in FIGS. 1–3 and 5) is also 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 top of the trimmer head and are under the arrows (both of the holes are visible in FIGS. 1 and 4 and one of the two holes is visible in each of FIGS. 2 and 3) are a border indicating a region that is not part of the claimed design. The broken lines inside the trapezoidal opening on the periphery of the side of top unloading trimmer line (seen easiest in FIG. 1, but also visible in FIG. 2) 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. The broken lines within the hole in the opening within the collar at the top of the top unloading trimmer (seen best in FIG. 4, but also visible in FIG. 1) 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.
