Auxiliary loop and span harness for a string trimmer or the like

Abstract

An auxiliary harness supported by right or left shoulder to suspend the string trimmer at or near a fixed point somewhat central to the torso having a carrying case, a string trimmer quick release button, an on-off lock to release or fix a retractable cable from a spring loaded spool, the cable fitted to the string trimmer and the operator by harness clips, the cable having to provide a longitudinal span to dampen lateral kickback and longitudinal flutter and to relax one or more trigger fingers, the operator having to adjust the cable and the boom slightly without having to remove the harness, the cable made of firm or elastic material having to dampen an operator's foot movement and the string trimmer vibration with a two-way longitudinal span embodiment or maneuvers the string trimmer with a single loop embodiment, and the harness providing steps to relieve operator fatigue.

1 . An auxiliary loop and longitudinal span harness for a string trimmer comprising:
 a string trimmer or the like having an elongated boom;   the boom transfers power from a motor to a cutting tool;   the boom having means for a safety shield to connect near the tool;   the tool having means to be directed by a plurality of handlebar configurations which are held substantially near the string trimmer fixed point;   the harness having means to be worn over an operator's right or left shoulder;   the harness base having means to suspend the string trimmer at or near a fixed point central to the operator's torso;   the harness having means for a carrying case;   the carrying case having a quick release button;   the quick release button having means to immediately release the harness from the string trimmer;   the carrying case having an on-off lock;   the on-off lock having means to release or fix a retractable cable, strap or the like from a spring loaded spool within the carrying case;   the carrying case further having a lower base and a top clip;   the carrying case base connected to a frontal or a middle harness clip at a lower end and connected from an upper end to the frontal, the middle, the top or a rearward harness chip;   the harness clips having means to be positioned on the boom a safe distance away from the tool;   the cable having means to separate and return to the carrying case to form the harness loop;   the cable having means to separate from the carrying case to form the harness longitudinal span;   the cable having means to be stored in a tight position;   the cable having means to support a symmetrical shoulder pad or the like;   the cable made of firm or elastic material and different sizes;   the longitudinal span having means to dampen lateral kickback from the tool to the operator;   the longitudinal span having means to dampen resonance from the string trimmer to the operator;   the longitudinal span having means to relax one or more trigger fingers;   the on-off lock having means to adjust the cable length without having to remove the harness from a right or left shoulder;   the on-off lock having means to adjust the boom angle slightly without having to remove the harness;   the harness longitudinal span having means to dampen transport;   the harness having means to significantly stabilize the string trimmer with the longitudinal span;   the harness having means to significantly maneuver the string trimmer with the loop embodiment;   the harness having means to relieve operator fatigue and stress.
