A trimmer head (1) comprises a rotatable housing (12) connectable to a trimmer line spool (13) rotatably supported by said housing (12) and a locking mechanism (14) for locking the trimmer line spool (13) to the housing (12) with a locking force (F.sub.L). The locking mechanism (14) is arranged to be moved from a locked to an unlocked position when a rotation speed of the trimmer head (1) is increased above an operating speed. The increased rotation speed causes a releasing force (F.sub.R) greater than the locking force (F.sub.L). In the unlocked position, the locking mechanism (14) releases the trimmer line spool (13) from the housing (12) such that the trimmer line spool (13) is movable and a trimmer line (3) spooled around the spool (13) is released and pulled out by a centrifugal force (F.sub.c) caused by the rotation of the trimmer head (1), allowing feed of the trimmer line (3).

A trimmer and a trimmer head include an upper cover assembly being connected to and driven by a motor, wherein the upper cover assembly is configured to be removably connected to at least one of a first trimming assembly or a second trimming assembly selectively, and is provided with at least one connection hole in its side wall; the first trimming assembly is configured to include a first lower cover, a first cutting member, and a first base; the second trimming assembly is configured to include a second lower cover, a second cutting member, and a second base; wherein the first base is at least partially inserted into the connection hole when the first trimming assembly is mounted, and the second lower cover is at least partially inserted into the connection hole when the second trimming assembly is mounted.

A flexible rotary cutting device useful for attaching to a rotary drive configured to trim vegetation, particularly a lawn mower. The flexible rotary cutting device includes a cutting head, an attachment mechanism, at least one cutting-filament retention mechanisms, and at least one cutting-filament. At least one cutting-filament may be releasably attached to the at least one cutting-filament retention mechanism. The at least one cutting-filament may be configured to sever vegetation as the cutting head is rotated, and may be positioned such that it is passed through the at least one filament-aperture, and between the first-filament engaging pawl and the second-filament engaging pawl, in such a way that the at least one cutting-filament is engaged and anchored by the first-plurality of teeth and the second-plurality of teeth, and extends radially from the outer flange of the cutting head.

A grass trimming head includes a housing assembly and a spool. The housing assembly is formed with a housing cavity and an outer aperture for allowing a cutting line to be inserted from an outside of the housing assembly into the housing cavity. At least a portion of the spool is arranged inside the housing cavity, and the spool is rotatable with respect to the housing assembly about a central axis. The spool is formed with an inner aperture for allowing the cutting line to be inserted into the spool or a clamping portion configured to fix the cutting line.

A reversible line blade for a rotating trimmer includes a loading section configured to be securable for rotation with a head of the rotating trimmer, a living hinge extending from the loading section, and a transition section extending from the living hinge and having a first cross-sectional shape with matching leading edge and trailing edge geometries. A cutting segment extends from the transition section and has a second cross-sectional shape that is different from the first cross-sectional shape. With matching lead edge and trailing edge geometries, the same line blade is functional for both clockwise trimmers and counter-clockwise trimmers.

The present utility model discloses a hybrid grass cutting apparatus, comprising a strimmer assembly, the strimmer assembly comprising a cutting head assembly located at an end remote from a handle and connected via a connecting rod, the cutting head assembly comprising a cutting tool and a guard located close to the cutting tool. The hybrid grass cutting apparatus further comprises a grass cutter frame, the grass cutter frame having an opening which accommodates the guard and through which the cutting tool can pass; and an engagement feature is provided between the grass cutter frame and the guard, enabling a user to engage the strimmer assembly with the grass cutter frame or remove the strimmer assembly from the grass cutter frame without any need to use an additional tool.
