Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an attachment for an air blower that allows the nozzle portion of the attachment to be adjusted at various angles. The attachment includes a rigid, elongated cylindrical portion with a connector portion for attaching to an air blower, a nozzle portion for directing airflow, and an actuating member for adjusting the nozzle portion at different angles. The actuating member can be a cylindrical sleeve or a deflecting member. The nozzle portion can be adjusted to direct airflow at angles ranging from 0 degrees to 360 degrees. The attachment enables various tasks to be performed more efficiently and effectively with the air blower.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, this requires the user to carry at least two different attachments in addition to the backpack air blower.
Furthermore, frequent changing of attachments will extend the time required to complete a task, which in a commercial application will increase labor costs.

Abstract

An attachment for an air blower that enables a nozzle portion to be configured at various angles is provided. The attachment includes a rigid, elongated cylindrical portion having a first end and a second end, the rigid, elongated cylindrical portion having a longitudinal axis running therethrough; a connector portion disposed at the first end and configured to couple the cylindrical portion to an airflow outlet of an air blower; a nozzle portion disposed at the second end of the cylindrical portion, the nozzle portion configured to direct airflow out of the cylindrical portion; and an actuating member coupled to the nozzle portion, the actuating portion configured to adjust the nozzle portion at various angles relative to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical portion.

Description

PRIORITY[0001]This application claims priority on U.S. Provisional Patent Appl. No. 61 / 645,817, filed May 11, 2012, entitled “ATTACHMENT FOR AIR BLOWER”, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]The present disclosure relates generally to air blowers and debris moving apparatuses, and more particularly, an attachment for an air blower that enables a nozzle portion to be configured at various angles.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Air blowers are known in art for using high pressure airflow to move debris in the direction of the airflow, e.g., blowing leaves. Conventional air blowers includes portable types, e.g., hand-held or backpack types, and stand-behind push types. Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional backpack air blower 10 is illustrated. The backpack air blower 10 generally includes a housing 12 which contains a motor and fan for generating the high pressure airflow. The high pressure airflow is ducted ...
