Benefits of technology

[0039]The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a leaf removal system. In particular, the present invention relates to a device that allows the user to minimize down-time during the process of leaf and debris removal. The user can work productively for a longer duration between intervals for bag emptying or bag replacement.

Problems solved by technology

This was due to the highly cost-effectiveness of a leaf blower.
However, a blower like this would be good for clearing out cracks in the driveway because of the high pressure but it would perform poorly blowing leaves in a yard.
While such a small opening would increase pressure, i.e., miles per hour, the result would be a dramatic loss in air volume.
A blower so configured might work well sweeping dust and sand off a driveway but without sufficient pressure, it would have a difficult time moving anything other than the lightest debris.
One problem with conventional blower-vacs is the frequency with which the bag must be emptied or replaced, either due to the bag becoming full or due to the bag becoming too heavy to transport.
Other problems exist.

Embodiment Construction

[0060]The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to a few preferred embodiments thereof as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the present invention may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other instances, well known operations have not been described in detail so not to unnecessarily obscure the present invention.

[0061]Referring now to FIG. 1 through FIG. 7, a leaf removal system 100 is comprised of a debris bag 200. Debris bag 200 is further comprised of a blower-vac attachment 300 that is used to releasably connect the debris bag 200 to a blower-vac 600. Debris bag 200 is further comprised of a plurality of a transport connector 210 and at least one of a transport attachment 220. The plurality of transport connector 210 an...

Abstract

A leaf removal system of the blower-vac type is disclosed which allows the user to minimize down-time during the process of leaf and debris removal. The user can work productively removing leaves and other debris for a longer time before needing to empty or replace the debris bag.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the field of leaf removal systems of the leaf blower-vacuum type.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Leaf blowing systems of the general type described herein are known.[0003]Leaf blowers have been controversial since they were introduced in 1976 to address a drought in California. The City of Los Angeles mandated their use to prevent gardeners from using water to clean walks and driveways. This was due to the highly cost-effectiveness of a leaf blower. City maintenance crews, professional gardeners, and home owners have all defended blowers to protect their pocketbooks.[0004]Hand-held blower-vacs are blowers that can work in reverse and suck leaves and debris into a bag that the user can carry to a compost pile or other suitable disposal place. These machines are generally quieter, especially the ones powered by electric motors.[0005]Hand-held blower-vacs are useful for a variety of tasks. Gathering and shredding leaves is o...
