Abstract: An attachment is provided for the end of the drive shaft of the motor of a rotary lawn mower, edger, trimmer or the like which comprises an elongated member that extends transversely of said drive shaft and carries at each end a rigid container having removably disposed therein a spool of non-metallic cutting line which extends from the spool and through the rigid container into the cutting plane, means being provided whereby the spools, which are oppositely disposed with respect to each other, may be easily and quickly made capable of either free movement or secured thereagainst; with the spools capable of quick and easy replacement when such is found necessary or desirable.

Abstract: A vertically extending attachment for the vertically extending drive-shaft of a rotary lawn mower, edger or trimmer comprises a centrally apertured flexible and longitudinally compressible spool which is encased within a rigid cylindrical sleeve of lesser length with a centrally apertured washer at each end which contacts the corresponding ends of the centrally apertured flexible and longitudinally compressible spool. An elongated centrally disposed adjustable bolt extends through the device with its upper end threaded for reception in the usual screw-threaded recess in the lower end of the aforementioned drive-shaft. A heavy duty monofilament or non-metallic cutting strand is wrapped around the aforementioned spool so as to provide at least two free-travelling ends which extend outwardly through relatively short radially disposed tubes which are mounted in evenly spaced alignment with communicating apertures in the sidewall of the rigid sleeve.
