Abstract
The present invention contemplates a system for utilizing existing motors with output shafts for drivingly rotating such as motors comprising a portion of a lawn mower, for example. The system includes a connector having one portion which is removably connectable to the output shaft of the motor and a power unit adapted for delivering power, such as electrical power, compressed air, or pressurized hydraulic fluid, for example, the connector being connectable to the power unit and the motor providing power input to the power unit through the connector for driving the power unit.
Claims14
A system for utilizing existing motors with output shafts for drivingly rotating blades, comprising:
- a connector having one portion removably connectable to the output shaft of the motor comprising:
- a base having a connecting surface and a blade depression being formed in the connecting surface, the blade depression being shaped and adapted to receive the blades on the output shaft of the motor and the disposition of the blades in the blade depression providing the removable connection between the motor and connector;
- and
- a power unit adapted for delivering power having an input shaft, the connector having a portion connectable to the power unit, the motor providing power input to the power unit through the connector, thereby driving the power unit.
A system for utilizing existing motors with output shaft for drivingly rotating blades, comprising the steps of:
- providing a power unit adapted for delivering power when driven;
- and
- connecting removably the power unit to the blades so the motor drivingly rotates the blades and the rotation of the blades provides a power input to the power unit thereby driving the power unit.
