ABSTRACT:
A combination grass trimming and lawn edging device operatively connectable to the rotary output shaft of a power lawn trimmer. The device includes a support member which defines a preferably circular perimeter and includes a central mounting hole for operable driven connection with the output shaft. Two independent cutting means are provided, the first being a plurality of evenly spaced rigid blades which are each pivotally connected to the support member and, when operable with the output shaft being generally horizontal, radially extend beyond the perimeter for lawn edging. Another plurality of elongated flexible filament lines are each operably connectable by engagement with one end of each thereof with evenly spaced aperture structure of the support member to provide the second cutting means. When in use with the output shaft upright, the filament lines are for cutting and trimming grass. The rigid blades are retractable when not in use, while the filament lines are easily removable when the rigid blades are in use for lawn edging.
