Modular landscaper
InactiveUS20080105445A1Fast spinReduce exerciseAgricultural machinesHops/wine cultivationModularityRotational energy
A modular landscaper uses oversized wheels to generate torque for turning one or more of several interchangeable modular landscape maintenance attachments. The landscaper provides a handle configured in relationship to the landscaper frame to allow an adult to normally walk behind the landscaper while applying a forward force by pushing on the handle that results in the wheels of the landscaper rolling along a landscape maintenance surface and generating torque that is transferred through a drive train to the one or more attached landscaping maintenance attachments. A drive train uses the rotational energy of the wheels to increase the operator pushing force to operate the maintenance attachment. Interchangeable attachments facilitate using the landscaper for a wide variety of landscaping maintenance tasks.

The backpack Multi-Blower provides for the first time an apparatus that is unique in that one person manipulates two separate air discharge tubes in either different or unified positions simultaneously at debris. This multi-blower generates air from separate chambers inside the housing having their own discharge air outlet, thereby creating more combined volume as well as the ability to diversify how the air is directed, they're by blowing with greater ease, control, efficiency and effectiveness. Man-hours reduced significantly in that one person using the multi-blower removes the need for a second man to accompany with separate single port blower. Time saved in that one person coordinates two blower tubes, verses the old way of two people trying to think together in a fluid flow of movement as to effectively moving the debris together. These few listed benefits provide a blower apparatus that has improved drastically its function and use, which will save time, money and man-hours.
