STRING REEL FOR A STRING TRIMMER, AND STRING TRIMMER CUTTING HEAD EQUIPPED WITH SUCH A STRING REEL OR IN THE FORM OF SUCH A STRING REEL

摘要

The invention relates to a string reel (1) to be attached to a cutting head of a string trimmer such that it can rotate during mowing. The string reel (1) is designed as an exchangeable wearing part onto which a number, for example two, string strands (2) are wound such that each free string end is drawn radially outwards during mowing by centrifugal force and the piece of string which is situated at the free string end and is tensioned by rotary movement during mowing can strike off plant stalks. The string strands (2) have a greater length than each piece of string at the free string end which is tensioned during mowing, so that the number of string strands (2) can be pulled out by the free string end after the piece of string has become worn. The invention is characterised in that at least one of the number of string strands (2) in a normal use section (3) which extends from the free end of the string strand in question has a different appearance from in a reserve section (5) which is situated closer to the connection point on the mowing string reel (1) and can be pulled out only after the normal use section.
