›FIG. 1 is a perspective view taken from…

FIG. 1 is a perspective view taken from the front and right side of the line trimmer and handle therefor showing our new design, with a pivoting portion of the handle in a first position;

The perspective view taken from the front and left side of the line trimmer and handle of FIG. 1 is the mirror image of FIG. 1, with the exception that the red power switch near the bottom of the handle in FIG. 1 and the opening in the handle to receive the switch are omitted and instead the flat surface of the handle is continuous across the area corresponding to the switch opening in FIG. 1;

The three angled grooves in the handle in FIG. 1 continue around the back of the handle to the three mirror image grooves on the other side of the handle;

FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the handle taken from the right side of FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the handle taken from the front and right sides of the line trimmer and below the handle;

The forward and under side of the pivoting handle includes an array of elongate rectangular recesses, whereas the rear and upper side of the pivoting portion has a continuous surface;

FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the handle, taken from the front and right sides of the line trimmer and below the handle, with the pivoting portion of the handle in a position different from the position shown in FIG. 1; and,

FIG. 5 is a front elevation of the shaft and handle of FIG. 1.

Color is not a part of the claimed design.

The claimed design is shown fragmented in FIGS. 2-5 for clarity of illustration.
