ABSTRACT:
A flexible line vegetation trimmer is disclosed, wherein the trimmer includes a conventional line cutting element mounted for rotation about an axis to define a cutting path, a debris shield mounted above at least an arc of the cutting path, and a cutting blade on the debris shield for cutting segments from the line to reduce the line length to a predetermined distance. In this generally conventional line trimmer the present invention provides a cut line pocket mounted below the debris shield, and having the cutting blade mounted at the mouth thereof, with the cut line pocket catching the segments of line cut from the line by the cutting blade. The cut segments are trapped in the cut line pocket, thereby reducing if not eliminating the danger of the cut segments striking a person or animal in the vicinity of the operating line trimmer.
