Abstract:
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.

Claim (Index 9):
The cutting device of  claim 7 , wherein the first-filament engaging pawl and the second-filament engaging pawl are pointed away from the first-fulcrum cylinder and the second-fulcrum cylinder in a radially inward direction with respect to the disk of the cutting head, such that the first-filament engaging pawl and the second-filament engaging pawl are able to pivot away from each other when the at least one cutting-filament is pushed between them from a radially outward direction with respect to the disk of the cutting head, the first-plurality of teeth of the first-filament engaging pawl and the second-plurality of teeth of the second-filament being configured to resist movement of the at least one cutting-filament only in said radially outward direction.
