Abstract
An apparatus including a gear assembly; a first blade section and a second blade section. The first blade section includes a first shaft. The first shaft is connected to gears of the gear assembly and extends from a first side of the gear assembly. The second blade section includes a second shaft and a cutting blade. The second shaft is connected to the gears of the gear assembly and extends from a second opposite side of the gear assembly. The gear assembly is configured to rotate the second shaft in an opposite direction of rotation relative to rotation of the first shaft.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- a gear assembly;
- a first blade section comprising a first shaft, where the first shaft is connected to gears of the gear assembly and extends from a first side of the gear assembly;
- and
- a second blade section comprising a second shaft and a cutting blade, where the second shaft is connected to the gears of the gear assembly and extends from a second opposite side of the gear assembly,
- where the gear assembly is configured to rotate the second shaft in an opposite direction of rotation relative to rotation of the first shaft.
An apparatus comprising:
- a conduit configured to be directly connected to a fan impeller chamber of a vegetation blower;
- a vegetation shredder configured to be mounted inside the conduit, where the vegetation shredder comprises a first shaft configured to be removably connected to a drive shaft of a motor of the vegetation blower, a second shaft movably connected to the first shaft, and a plurality of blades mounted on the first and second shafts.
An apparatus comprising:
- a conduit;
- an assembly comprising a gear box and two shafts extending from opposite sides of the gear box, where the gear box is configured to rotate the shafts in opposite directions;
- where the assembly is located in the conduit with an cut vegetation and air flow path between an interior side of the conduit and an exterior lateral side of the gear box.
A method comprising:
- longitudinally sliding a first shaft of a vegetation shredder attachment into a keyed connection located proximate a first side of a fan impeller section of a vegetation blower;
- and
- connecting a conduit of the vegetation shredder attachment to a front air intake side of a fan impeller chamber of the vegetation blower,
- where the first shaft is adapted to be rotated through the keyed connection as the fan impeller section is rotated.
