Abstract
An articulating blower nozzle that maintains directional orientation of a high velocity air flow while the blower is being swung by an operator. The dynamic nozzle blows the debris to a specific point while the blower is swung from side to side, thereby collecting the debris is a specific area without the operator having to constantly reorient their body to complete the work.
Claims16
An articulating nozzle for a blower, comprising:
- a movable nozzle configured to be pivotally connected to a fixed nozzle end of the blower;
- a drive mechanism operably coupled to the movable nozzle to impart a deflection of the nozzle in a direction opposite that of a swinging arc movement of the blower.
A blower nozzle adapter, comprising:
- a coupling sleeve having a first opening configured to connect to a stationary nozzle of an operator carried blower tool;
- a movable nozzle pivotally connected to a second opening of the coupling sleeve;
- and
- a drive mechanism operable to orient the movable nozzle at a point of convergence as the blower tool is operated in a swinging arc.
