Abstract
According to one example, a multi-tool system for use in lawn maintenance and care. In use, one example provides the user with ambidextrous blowing capabilities, the ability to spray fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, and use one or more spline drive tools at the same time as the blower and spray systems. A mobile multi-tool system for use in lawn maintenance and care.
Claims17
A motorized lawn and leaf blower, comprising
- a blower configured to be mounted to a backpack, the blower comprising:
- a motor having a drive shaft;
- an impeller connected to the drive shaft, wherein the drive shaft is configured to spin the impeller;
- an impeller housing configured to contain the impeller and produce an airflow, the impeller housing comprising an air outlet port including a connector frame receiver rail;
- a manifold configured to secure to the impeller housing, the manifold comprising:
- a connector frame configured to slide into latched engagement with the connector frame receiver rail of the outlet port;
- a plenum configured to receive the airflow from the impeller housing;
- a runner duct attached to the plenum in a swiveling relationship with the plenum;
- wherein the runner duct can rotate from a first position for right handed operation and a second position for left handed operation.
